Amy Grant - Home for Christmas

Advantages: Some lovely new songs and new versions of classics
Disadvantages: Hard to sing along as Amy's vocal range is quite low!

This is one of my all time favourite Christmas CD's. I have had this album for a long time and it comes out every year! Yes, there is the usual new versions of old songs, but the songs that are penned by Amy Grant are wonderful. I have actually been able to gain strength from the words of these songs and have used them in daily readings for myself and other people. I come from a Christian background and I've really found the lyrics on this album ...

Review of Home For Christmas - Amy Grant

The best United's live cd

Advantages: lively and inspired
Disadvantages: you kidding me? of couse there's no disadvantage, it's United, c'mon!!

That's the album that made me like Hillsong United. The sound of the young people from one of the most famous churchs is a very exciting worship, with touching lyrics, that make you praise our God, be the song agitated or calm. Most of the songs have well made guitar riffs, that make them more interesting, specially for young people, and the ones who love rock. This album has some of the "classics" of Hillsong United, like "The Time Has Come", "Take ...

...years before her next album.

...Centre on 11th September 2001. This is an inspiring song about standing strong despite challenging things in your life. "I Gotta Believe" is up next and this is a really impressive track which has an interesting beat which sounds like a mix between an R&B ballad and a dance track with it's stop start motion. This is another very good track indeed which further develops thanks to the nice background orchestral part which adds a nice touch. Track three ...

Review of Mountain High Valley Low - Yolanda Adams

Welcome Home - Brians debut solo album

Advantages: Showcases Brians vocals quite well, some catchy tracks,
Disadvantages: Wont appeal to all, BSB fans and others, some tracks slightly 'filler'

...Brians first solo album, entitled Welcome Home, was finally released in the US in 2006. It features the single Welcome Home (You) and is, obviously, a pop/Christian record. It seems to only be available on import from the US, through Sony BMG, Provident label group and Provident Integrity distribution. You can purchase it as an import on amazon.co.uk or even better, at the time of this review (July 2008), I found it available on Play.com for the ...
...the world?" 3 - Welcome Home (You) - This is the most well known track on the album, in terms of it having an official video and being a single, as well as the fact that Brian has sung it solo during the Backstreet Boys Unbreakable world tour. This track is a more upbeat track, with a faster beat to it, than other tracks on the album and it talks about peoples hesitations and worries for him, when he first left home to be a member of the group and ...
