Merry Christmas With Love, Clay Aiken
Clay Aiken may look wide-eyed and unassuming, but when it comes to
figuring out what his fans want for Christmas, hes got it all figured out. On
Merry Christmas with Love he so cannily anticipates the musical
sugarplums dancing in the heads of his devotees that you half expec t him
to climb down the chimney and hand-deliver it. Key to the dozen-song
collections appeal is its straightforwardness: Parting ways with the sea of
celebrities who use holiday discs as an excuse to cut loose, Aiken
banishes irony and coyness so absolutely here that certain carols--the
medley Hark the Herald Angels Sing/O Come All Ye Faithful and Silent
Night especially--take on church-like tones; expect tree trimmers to put
aside their tinsel and contemplate the meaning of the season. Yet dont
expect them to miss out on any merriment. On less chestnutty selections
like the ballads Mary Did You Know and Celine Dions Dont Save It All for
Christmas Day, Aiken lets it rip, reining in a passion and pure-heartedness
so believable that fans will wish he, rather than the guy in the red velvet
suit, were Santa Claus. -Tammy La Gorce
Clay has a beautiful voice that ia very well-suited for Christmas Music.
This CD has secular music as well as music that relates ro the meaning of
the Holiday. I prefer the Christmas Carols where he does an excellent
job. I am not thinking about New Year's Eve yet so it is my least favorite
track. I hope everyone who enjoys Christmas music will be able to get this
CD. I am glad I have it can listen every year. You will enjoy it.
