 My Wait For A Christmas Album is Over October 30, 2007
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
I love this CD! I know I will be repeating a few things others have said, but here goes. Josh's voice is unbelievable! I have loved him since the first time I heard him. He is the only artist who's CD I have to buy the day it comes out. This was no exception. Love it! Love it! Love it! There are only two things that could have made it better. One, to include "O Holy Night", which is my favorite Christmas song. His is THE BEST cover of that song, I've heard - ever.
Two, to not have sung "The First Noel" with Faith Hill. I love Josh's part of this song, and wish he had sung it alone, or maybe with someone like Martina McBride. To pair such an exquisite voice as Josh's is, with a totally ordinary voice, is not doing justice to him. She is o.k. when singing her own songs, but she doesn't have the voice to improve previously recorded material. She soured me on her cover capabilities when she completely butchered "Open Arms" by Journey, at a Tim MacGraw concert I was at.
But back to "Noel", a must have for any Josh fan!! Love it! Go get it today!
A Warm Holiday Album October 9, 2007
14 out of 18 found this review helpful
You'll hear traditional, contemporary, and original songs in Josh's new holiday album. His voice is warm and rich, as he sings "Silent Night," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Thankful," "The First Noel" (with Faith Hill), "Angels We Have Heard on High" (with Brian McKnight), "What Child Is This?" and more.
Recommended.
Not what I expected - but still great! November 8, 2007

After hearing "O Holy Night" and "I'll be Home for Christmas" last year, I was disappointed that he didn't have a Christmas album out. So naturally when I saw "NOEL" had been released, I had to purchase it.
As always, Josh is spectacular. But being a bit old fashioned I had hoped the music would be straight forward traditional, like his "O Holy Night" and the original "I'll be Home for Christmas". Josh has such a strong, clear, beautiful voice that can carry with little background accompaniment. But instead of emphasizing the beauty of this man's voice, many of the arrangements have him competing with the overly loud instrumental/chorus accompaniments.
I would have much rather had "O Holy Night" on this CD than "The First Noel" duet with Faith Hill. As a stand alone artist Faith Hill is okay. But to pair her with Josh was a mistake. Next to him she sounds like a coyote howling in the background and is only another noisy distraction.
Overall - I still have to give this five stars because it is a beautiful CD that I will listen to over and over again (yep...8 times already). I hope he puts out another one next year...but finds someone other than David Foster to arrange and produce it.
 It is what it is... October 10, 2007

A nice voice, but it's so predictable. After teasing his fans with stretching his creative juices, he falls back on the predictable David Foster-safe arrangements.

I love Christmas music, and bought this for my wife. Josh has a great voice, but this album kind of feels like everything else I have heard from him - just now he is singing Christmas carols.
My wife really likes it, and it certainly stays in our Christmas mix, but this is not my favorite Chirstmas album.
