What a Wonderful World

I adore this song but Le Ann Rimes destroyed it. Mariah Carey does that song way better than Le Ann. She makes it more of a church feel and exciting to listen to.

Leanne has a beautiful voice, but she absolutely slaughters O HOLY NIGHT. One of the worst renditions I have ever heard. Why can't she just hit the note instead of singing all around it with all the riffs and trills. Save that for pop tunes.

I bought this cd when it first came out and it's part of my holiday playlist still. Sure, the title track is LeAnn's message song post 911 but it's not so heavy handed that it haunts the rest of the day. Most holiday albums are a bit manic in that they have to include every Christmas Carol ever written and the arrangements have to be so sweetened by full-scale orchesrtra that can come off as overwhelming. LeAnn sticks close to her country-pop roots even doing a faithful cover of Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree." "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is not a cover of Mariah Carey's original but a retro rock arranged ballad yearning for her love to be with her on the holiday. The message of Mariah and LeAnn's song and the title are the same, but worlds apart in lyric and style. The one song I have a problem with is "O Holy Night" which is a bear to sing and the difficulity should have been no problem for LeAnn, for she is rather accomplished and singing this song straight forward should have been a display of her power and control. She instead breaks the melody by doing runs and not holding notes. The rest of the material LeAnn handles well and overall this cd is lighthearted fun.

Just listen to her sign this. Nobody compares to her singing of this song , trust me I have tried. Great singing!

Let me start by saying that I am a HUGE fan of LeAnn Rimes and expected a lot from her in this Christmas album. While the album is nothing spectacular, the track "I Miss You Like Christmas" is gorgeous. There is something missing though, a little spark or flair of excitement. It could've been better, but LeAnn Rimes still delivers a solid Christmas album.

LeAnn can sing anything and she puts her stamp on everything! This is one of the greatest Christmas albums ever! LeAnn is amazing! She is one of the very few that can give me goosebumps.

I give this 5 stars because she has a strong voice and passion when she sings. I'd reccommend this to anyone!

The original songs are wonderful, "Rockin' Around the Christmas tree is extremely good. The standards are good. She totally wasted "O Holy Night." I love that song and was expecting to get the chills I got with "Blue." Didn't even come close. Basically I was disappointed.

i love her version of Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

omg, best christmas album ever made, it is worth every penny! LOVE IT!!!
