Josh Groban is one of our favorite vocalists. I bought this NOEL CD because I thought I had lost my first one, which was given to me as a gift. It's a nice CD, but I wouldn't call it Josh's best work. The songs are good, but not memorable. It was a nice gesture to personalize "I'll Be Home for Christmas" by including sentiments from various soldiers who are(were?) stationed away from home. By doing that, however, it might date the CD in the future, since it's seems to be tied in with the current Iraqi conflict. In general, most of the song arrangements are just so-so for me, but I'd buy the CD again. PS They need to enlarge the print on the inside cover...very hard to read!
His voice on this album is as wonderful as ever. However, the arrangements seem to have been designed to show what his voice can do rather than to create a new beautiful version of these Christmas carols. So the arrangements were distracting and the music gets lost in showcasing his ability. The point of singing is not to show what technical capabilities a particular voice possesses but rather to use that voice's abilities to enhance and make new the music being sung. Fabulous performance on an okay CD.
I rushed out to Target ASAP on 9 Oct to buy this CD (with the Target exclusive DVD), and had to go to another store to buy it because it was sold out at the first one. My efforts were rewarded, and on the first note Josh sang it was more than worth the money, gas, and time. "I'll Be Home for Christmas", featuring messages from American troops deployed overseas, is so touching that you'd have to have a heart of stone not to be moved to (or almost to) tears. His take on "Ave Maria", an already ethereal and beautiful song, is jaw-dropping. His duets with Faith Hill and Bryan McKnight are quite good, and the inclusion of a rather obscure (in the US) French song ("Petit Papa Noel")--included because Josh thought the song title was "so cute" (his words, verbatim)-- and the stand-out guitar work on "Little Drummer Boy" added that something extra and unique to otherwise mostly familiar songs. This is the album you've been waiting for for the last 6 years. You won't be disappointed.Read full review
