Ah Mariah
You don't have to add 50 notes to every note written just to show off your voice. Does this woman know how to sing a song the way it was written? Just sing it and it will become your own, woman. This has got to be the most annoying CD every produced. I returned it. .


The best Mariah album and one of best X-mas releases
I give 5 stars to the Original Album and performances of the original songs. Although I was not following Mariah's career as close as I used to at the time of this release, I was very excited when I learned that the X-mas videos were going to be available for the first time on DVD (or in any format really). But I really did not like much the hip-hop versions of some of the songs and the animated videos. Otherwise this would have been a perfect package. But I guess they wanted to portrait Mariah as she is now and not the adult contemporary artist she used to be. My only major complaint is the quality of the new booklet. It seems that they lost the original artwork masters because the new booklet was obviously a copy of one from the old CD and the new track information was just added on the blank spaces because it is much darker in color than the rest. Hopefully next time they will have more consideration in doing a quality booklet, Mariah deserves no less.


Merry Christmas requires some work!

Then I tried the other side, and was disappointed at first to find that the "videos" were only one picture per tune. One side worked fine as a normal CD.
Only later I found that there really were some music videos on the disc, but it takes a little work to find them with the menu system.
So there are really (at least) 3 different ways to play this disc!
I liked the music.
.


Mariah has fun with it. It works in spades. 4.4 stars.
I paid 11 bucks for this and overall, am satisfied with the 5 outstanding tracks on it. Only reason I give this a higher score than the original is for the DualDisc videos.

All I Want For Christmas Is You (Best X-Mas song ever. Made Me tear up twice! No other songs do that!)
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) Lovely. The second best song here. It's so sad. Deals with longing for love and loneliness with nothing better to do than to think about HIM. . . *Le Sigh*
Silent Night
O Holy Night

The only filler is Hark! and Jesus, Oh. . .

Glad I got it though.

Miss You Most is the second best X-Mas track I've ever heard.

4. 4 stars. .


Mind Blowing Vocals.
The singing is obviously superb but the dual disc technology is amazing especially for audio and videophiles. An astonishing display of vocal range and artistic perfection,no one can even come close. If you love mariah or simply love to have a quality holliday cd,get this version. . your expensive multichannel hometheater system will thank you.
