Album Notes
Personnel: Mariah Carey (vocals); Dann Huff (guitar); Lenny Pickett (saxophone); Loris Holland (piano, Hammond B-3 organ); Greg Phillinganes (piano); Walter Afanasieff (Hammond B-3 organ, keyboards, synthesizer, bass, tambourine, claps, programming); Randy Jackson, Kirk Lyons (bass); Buddy Williams, Bernard Davis, Omar Hakim (drums); Dave Silliman (percussion); Gary Cirimelli, Dan Shea, Robert Clivilles, David Cole (programming); Melonie Daniels, Shanrae Price, Kelly Price, Cindy Mizzelle (background vocals).Children's Choir: Wayne Daniels, Jr., David Daniels, Nathan Daniels, Jodi Walton, 3D, Jazzmin Walton, Janaye Walton, Tobitha Shinique Owens.Producers: Mariah Carey, Loris Holland, Walter Afanasieff.Recorded at the Hit Factory, New York.At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs.She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their own. Her "Silent Night" shows off a studied vocalization where liquid phrasing is key. "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" shows off a dynamic voice that is hard to match. She has fun with the Phil Spector goodie "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," a song straight out of '60s girl-group heaven. There is even a "Joy To The World" medley mixing the old and the new--the traditional Christmas song and the Three Dog Night hit. And, as usual, her gospel-voiced background singers are out in full force.There are two ways to enjoy this album. One is to sit back and revel in Mariah Carey's vocal fireworks, and the other is to pour yourself a glass of egg-nog, get cozy by the tree and have yourself a MERRY CHRISTMAS.

  Mariah Carey - Merry Christmas (CD 2007)
Review created: 06/03/08

I wasn't particularly looking for a CD to purchase, to be honest I pressed the wrong categorie and found myself then searching through the CD's.

I then started to probe my mind as to what CD's I wanted to get again, I had my CD's stolen from my home in a burglary about 15 yrs ago.

I didn't think for one minute I could still get the Mariah Carey - Merry Crhistmas CD, it was a very long time ago when I first listened to it with my then very young daughters. The CD brought back many very happy memories of the times at christmas when my 3 daughter's and myself would all sing along with the CD, especially the track 'Oh Holy Night', I decided then to try looking for it on the search engine, and to my complete shock, amazement and elated joy there it was for sale. I quickly placed a bid on it and it was extremely very cheap @ £2+ It didn't take long for it to be delivered and there I was again, despite christmas being long gone, singing along to the tracks and re-living the happy memories of the times when my daughter's and I sang along to them as well. I am elated I got this CD it is a beautiful CD and showcases the Mariah Carey in the days when she was at the very top!

  Mariah Carey's christmas album
Review created: 14/11/07

This album is must for all Mariah fans.
It has a nice balance of both new songs and traditional christmas carols.
I was a bit unsure of how Mariah's musical style would blend with the carols, but her beautiful voice has only enhanced their appeal.
Both young and old will appreciate the enery and musical ability she brings to these songs.
