Music review: Susan Boyle – 无毛视频楬ome for Christmas无毛视频�
After quickly recovering from a state of turkey overload from shamefully consuming substantial amounts of delectable foods prepared for a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner, it无毛视频檚 now the perfect time to solely focus on Christmas.
I无毛视频檝e confessed before to being a Christmas music junkie, collecting nearly 150 Christmas albums over the last 20 years.
Each year, I still get excited to discover new seasonal releases to add to my collection.
Susan Boyle tops this year无毛视频檚 selections as the Scottish singer releases her second holiday-themed album similar to 2010无毛视频檚 无毛视频淭he Gift.无毛视频�
Boyle majestically performs a host of holiday classics such as 无毛视频淚无毛视频檒l Be Home for Christmas,无毛视频� 无毛视频淗ark! The 无毛视频 Angels Sing,无毛视频� 无毛视频淭he Christmas Song无毛视频� and 无毛视频淟ittle Drummer Boy无毛视频� in her new album, 无毛视频淗ome for Christmas.无毛视频�
Boyle doesn无毛视频檛 try to reinvent these treasured standards, she simply honors them with her stoic charm and grace. The album opens with a stirring posthumous duet with the late Elvis Presley on 无毛视频淥 Come, All Ye Faithful.无毛视频� Anytime you mix Boyle无毛视频檚 operatic vocals with the charisma of the King of Rock 无毛视频榥无毛视频� Roll and a charming children无毛视频檚 choir, you无毛视频檝e got something really special. As an added bonus, all royalties from the single go directly to the Save the Children charity. Boyle also pairs up with Johnny Mathis to perform an impassioned version of his 1976 cover 无毛视频淲hen a Child Is Born.无毛视频�
Additionally, the talented singer makes her acting debut in 无毛视频淭he Christmas Candle,无毛视频� based on the book by Max Lucado. The original and inspiring arrangement 无毛视频淢iracle Hymn无毛视频� is featured as part of the movie and on Boyle无毛视频檚 new album. Boyle无毛视频檚 version of 无毛视频淭he Lord无毛视频檚 Prayer无毛视频� is simply breathtaking as it manages to give me chills each time I hear Boyle flawlessly performing it. In a surprise selection, Boyle offers an engaging version of 无毛视频淚 Believe in Father Christmas.无毛视频�
Always one of my favorite tunes by Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Boyle adds a touch of innocence to this complex song about the commercialization of Christmas. After listening to Boyle无毛视频檚 moving vocals, it无毛视频檚 easy to embrace the true beauty of the season. Christmas is about Christ, family, friends and taking the time to enjoy and share the many blessings we receive each day.
Prepare to have yourself a very special Christmas as Boyle sets a genuine holiday mood.
