I had to do a search for Archuleta to find this post -- and the album hasn't been out long. Oh well. Love the album. Think I'll be loving it five Christmases from now. And that's probably what matters most to David. Hear hear, carolinacharms.

This actual album release--yes, major label album release (it doesn't matter if it's Holiday, it's still a full-length studio album...something which neither Kris nor Adam have put out yet...yet!) was absolutely freakin' buried in an avalanche of Adam Lambert news. No wonder the post count is so low. All in all, I can't help but feel that David's release is getting no respect. And Adam, well, God love him, but he seemingly already has as much respect as Barbra, Aretha, Luciano and Obama combined. Good for him, I guess. But ask yourselves this: Is it all just a media confection, or has it been earned? Is anyone else tired of America's obession with the cult of personality, in general? Since when does actual accomplishment--quantifiable accomplishment!!!--and dedication, and hard work...get trumped by image and hype wrapped in an adoring media bubble--and dare I say--mythology?

These songs are considerably harder to sing than the previous list of songs and Archuleta's vocals really get to shine here. The "noels" with about 50 seconds left in O Holy Night are gorgeous and his Ave Maria is a different arrangement but that's what makes it beautiful and unique. Another favorable review of the album…

It's a really solid one. I like a good number of songs. (LOL A year ago I would have never guessed I would like David's Christmas album a lot more than his pop one...) As much as I enjoy Pat A Pan, my favorite one has to be Joy To The World. I really really like what was done with that song and I love how you can actually feel the passion in David's voice in that one. It's something that one has at the end that I don't find on his other songs... but it's in this one. Also liked First Noel. I guess those would be my top 3. I just listened to the album.

Tried not to be embarrassed when ppl pulled up next to me and I was blaring O Holy Night. On Oct. 13. :D These songs are gorgeous and I love my car system. Love, love love Silent Night, What Child Is This, Riu Riu, Pat A Pan. I'm going to have the album on repeat for some time before I'm able to 'put it away until Christmastime.' We'll see if the end of the first round bleeds into the beginning of the second. Bought the durn thing this morning and put it into the car CD player.
