Free Music Review: This is pretty bad stuff
Hit: 2 Stars
Okay, so the Jaci Velazquez worshipers out there will want to kill me for this, but I don't think I've ever heard such an awful Christmas CD as this one. I bought it as a gift for my wife, who adores Jaci, and my wife wanted to throw it away after listening to it. This album goes to prove that just because someone has a good voice and strong talent, that person can't necessarily sing effectively in other styles, such as jazz, crooning, etc. There are a few gems here (hence the second star) such as tracks 1, 2, and 11, and tracks 3, 4, and 5 are decent, but there are also some awful songs. Her version of "Let It Snow. . ." is truly painful to listen to, and the remake of "The Chipmunk Song" is pathetic at best. I love Jaci's contemporary stuff, but she's out of her element here, trying to pull off what Amy Grant did with her second Christmas album, and it simply doesn't work.Free Music Review: Little Girl Lost
Hit: 1 Stars
As someone whose copies of "Llegar a ti" and "Mi corazón" get regular workouts, I was very disappointed with this holiday offering from Jaci. The overall tone of the album is very little girl, whispy voice, bland arrangement, and lacking in personality -- not the Jaci of her latest album! In fact, this sounds like the work of an unsure 14-year-old; I wondered if the tracks had been laid down several years ago before she found her voice.
Sigh... I was hoping for a lot more.
