She's been hailed for her multi-octave vocal range--a tool that sometimes detracts from her pop recordings, but actually works quite beautifully in the context of this charming holiday collection. Fans will surely approve of Carey's renditions of slinky secular songs like "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)" and a nicely subdued "All I Want for Christmas Is You." But where she really surprises is in her unadorned delivery of a passel of traditional carols, highlighted by "Silent Night" (which she sings quietly, avoiding the temptation to wail those high notes) and "Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child." A must for diehards, and a pleasant surprise for the unconverted. --David Sprague

MARIAH CAREY "MERRY CHRISTMAS" December 15, 2008
Pete Doherty (UK)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Mariah Carey's "Merry Christmas" album is a brilliant album for...Christmas! :)
The album features her worldwide hit "All I Want For Christmas Is You" aswell as 3 other songs written by Mariah and some classic holiday songs. The best song on the album has got to be Mariah's version of "O Holy Night" - it is without doubt the best version of the song I've ever heard, her voice is outstanding. Other ballads include "Silent Night," "Jesus Born On This Day" and probably the saddest Christmas song ever written "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" - "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," "Joy To The World," "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" and "Jesus Oh What A Wonderful Child" are all fun uptempo songs, and there's also two brilliant versions of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing/Gloria (In Excelsis Deo)" and "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" (the 2nd which for some reason isn't included on the US version, but it worth buying the European version to have the song)
10 out of 10 for this album, my favourite Christmas album I've heard!
Exactly what I wanted December 12, 2008
