Music : These Are Special Timesby: Celine Dion
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The prolific princess of pop has thrown together a mixture of contemporary and traditional holiday favourites, bordering on too-cute and kitschy only on the intro to "Feliz Navidad". For many, Dion is an acquired taste, but even nay-sayers may enjoy her rare moments of restraint on a smoky version of "Blue Christmas". "The Prayer," a duet with Andrea Bocelli, is set to become the "Time to Say Goodbye" of the future, but it will have to battle it out with the R. Kelly duet, "I'm Your Angel", first. --Rebecca Wallwork Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Best Christmas Album Ever ! There is not one single thing i can fault this album on ! The collections of songs is outstanding and Celine's voice does justice to some of the traditional christmas classics aswell as some new material. I would be hard for me to choose some of my favourite tracks but the ones however there are some clear front runners such as Christmas Eve - this is a very high energy song, you can not help but get up and dance to it , also other tracks that stand out are These Are special times the ... Read More Rating:  - the last five songs are really goodI only liked the last five songs on this cd and these were really good with celine singing quickly,tunefully and backed by lively upbeat music. On the rest of the songs she tends to sing more slowly with a quieter and less committed voice without too much variation in its range and I found this uninspiring and at times even boring.I wasn't that surprised because I like all of celine's french language cds but only one of her english language cds (One Heart).It seems to me that unless celine is ... Read More Rating: - Best Christmas Album by a solo artistEven if you're not a Celine Dion fan, this is probably the best non compilation Xmas album available. Most Xmas albums over the years, even by respected artists, were sub-standard cash ins containing only a couple of worthwhile tracks. Not in this case. It's incredibly varied with a selection of modern, classical & standard songs, performed in a variety of styles and tempos with a couple of duets included. With histrionics kept in check, the crystaline vocals can be appreciated. The final track ... Read More Rating: - O HOLY CELINEAll I can say is....WHAT AN ALBUM, WHAT A VOICE!!!! The selection of songs on this album are absolutely perfect, and even more perfect for celine's voice. Her soft version of "O holy night" is fantastic, mellow and calm at first and then a powerful, strong ending with celine belting out "oh night divine". Also, "Ave maria" is normally sung by opera singers, but celine can NAIL THIS SONG! She is even better than an opera singer. There is also the jolly "god bless us everyone" with its christmassy feel. Buy ... Read More Rating: - a sparkling Christmas collectionFrom traditional songs to new, like "Don't Save it All for Christmas Day" which was co-written by Celine, this is a diverse selection of Christmas music that will appeal to those who appreciate Celine's talent and the many colorations of her agile voice. Starting with my favorite Christmas song, "O Holy Night", which is here given a lovely rendition, my other top choices would be: Track # 3, "Blue Christmas", with a superb jazzy interpretation, Celine using her smooth, smoky voice, and Diana Krall ...
