'Face fancies himself a vocal stylist who can find new interpretive nuance in "Rudolph" and "Sleigh Ride." Neigh!

Babyface is the man!.......2002-11-28

This CD is not just for R&B lovers, but enjoyable for everyone, especially jazz lovers. Babyface showed me a side that I had never seen in him before. He showed his versitility in a major way on this project. The selection of musicians was perfect...The sound quality is superb...It's a must buy!! To me it didn't have to be about writing original Christmas songs...The traditional songs that we all know and love have endured over time far more than any new songs will. However, Babyface created a masterpiece by adding his personal touch to each one. ENJOY!

One of my favorite Christmas CDs.......2001-01-05

Babyface is such a brilliant songwriter that it is disappointing there weren't some original Christmas songs on this CD. However, his jazzy version of Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer is the best and most original I've heard. My favorite song on the CD is the only one written by Babyface, "You Were There" from the movie Simon Birch. It seems a bit out of place on this CD, but it is a very touching song.

Have Yourself A Mediocre Christmas.......2000-12-29

As a collector of many Christmas albums and CDs, I was quite disappointed with Babyface's extremely by-the-numbers holiday package. Here we've got one of the world's most talented and romantic songwriters - a man with the potential to write a whole heap of new holiday classics (or at least two or three). (I mean the R & B world could certainly use something new to sing at the holidays other than Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" again and again.) But the only original song on this CD isn't even a Christmas song - "You Were There" is a schlocky movie feel-good number from the flop, "Simon Birch". Otherwise, do we really need the romantic yearning of Babyface crooning "Rudolph, The Red-nosed Reindeer"? No.

I'm not going to slam this CD completely. Babyface is a nice, unique singer and these are very straightforward arrangements. If you like his voice, don't have these classics a million times already, and want a professional package - this could fit the bill for you. Otherwise, I'd ignore it and hope that Santa encourages Babyface to make a real effort on a Christmas CD sometime in the future. The potential remains unfulfilled.

Nice Holiday CD.......2000-12-21

What a nice collection of holiday music. Subtle changes to the traditional songs but still wonderful to listen to at this time of the year. You definitely want this one in your music collection.

What u Expect.......2000-12-02

WHat YOu Think OF when You Think Of Babyface is what you get from Babyface In this album. He dosen't change the words or anything like that but he does bring that voice and talent that you expect. However it is only so many ways to sing these songs for we have all grown up to singing and listening to these songs since we were little. I think thathe changes these songs moderately but in a rightful way and in the harmony and only the quality that we come to expect from Babyface IT IS A KEEPER. BUY IT YOU WON"T REGREET IT
