Which One of These is NOT Like the Others?
Jaci's very, very best. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this album. I don't speak Spanish at all and I listen to this over and over and over.
The only song that sticks out like a sore thumb is Track 8. Sigh. But the awesomness of the rest more than cover the lapse.

MUY BONITO
Jaci Velasquez siempre nos ha impresionado con su gran carisma como artista, y con este disco nos lo ha demostrado una vez mas; gran album, muy maravillosas e increibles baladas llenas de espiritualidad y que nos llegan directo al corazon; he escuchado todo el disco y me he quedado con deseos de escucharlo una y otra vez!! imprescindible en toda coleccion de musica cristiana y para todos los amantes de las baladas con mensajes profundos.
Muy Bueno
" For those who liked those albums, definitely consider adding "Milagro" to your collection. I found "Milagro" to be about what I expected: a lot like Jaci's previous two Spanish albums, "Llegar A Ti and Mi Corazon. As was the case with Jaci's previous Spanish albums, "Milagro" includes a few upbeat songs, a few slower ones, and a couple of songs which I recognized to be Spanish versions of English songs which can be found on other of her records. The main drawback of "Milagro" is that the lyrics are not printed in the album's booklet. To native or otherwise fluent Spanish-speakers, that won't be a problem, but for me, having the lyrics in front of me is helpful, since my Spanish comprehension is a little slow. So I had to listen to the album a few times to understand what Jaci was singing. I was pleased, but not surprised, to find that most of her lyrics were focused on her relationship with the Lord Jesus. As far as lyrical content is concerned, I would have to say that track 7, "A Un Paso De Mi Amor", is my favorite. Regarding the sound of the music in general, my favorite is track 4, "Un Tracito De Cielo. ".
My review after 4 months listening...
It was one of several CDs. I bought this album on a CD spree. Tough competition! I admit, the only songs on here that were immediately attention-getting (high-impact, fast impression) were "No Hace Falta Un Hombre" and "Es Amor. " I guess one of these was a song to a Spanish drama. I usually only listen to the tracks that demand my attention per CD, over and over, and end up forgetting the others (since I have so many CDs), but I would later give the others another chance, letting the CD just play through. I don't know why they took some getting used to, but there are PLENTY of AMAZING tracks on this CD! Most people refer to songs that have a slow tempo as a ballad, but to me a ballad is a song that is not only slow, but also very subdued and quiet. These songs wouldn't fit into that category. On most of these there is a very audible chorus that sings verses throughout a song, and some were written as though they switch back and forth (between Jaci and the chorus). I've never heard pop that is this amazing. It wasn't memorable at first, but "Eres Tan Grande" was a song that you later one day recall, and you have to drop whatever it is that you are doing and give it another listen. Its "concept" finally clicks. Jaci's performance of "A Un Paso De Mi Amor" (I've seen this track on other singer's CDs) is also excellent! She has a very unique voice. Ne'er too high, but definitely with range. She sounds so different when singing low notes and high notes. The low notes have so much power, but the high notes are so soft. BTW I don't speak Spanish at all. No need, though. I love these songs. "Milagro" is also excellent. Such an inspiring sound (I don't know what she's singing about). Last but not least, "Me Valga Dios" has almost a traditional sound to it. No trumpets, but the bass line is the up-down, slow type, yet the melody is so cheerful that it becomes addictive. There are so few CDs that have so many excellent, single-caliber songs like this one! .
The best of Jaci's Spanish CDs
Milagro & Jaci Velasquez (Self titled) are the best. This by far Jaci's greatest Spanish album and even compared to her english cds this is still one of my favorites. Her CD unspoken was'nt very good, but this camp out the same year and this was really good. I hope her fall release (Of 2004) will be as good as Milagro! :D.
