Title: Tired of the vocal gymnastics
Review: Christmas music should be many things: happy, simple, somber, reflective, beautiful, and above all, singable. Every song has its own character. But I found her renditions of the songs on this CD nothing short of a root canal without anesthesia. The music was so irritating to me that I turned it off and gave the CD to my niece. Christina Aguilera definitely has a great vocal talent, but it increasingly seems that artists like this are constantly trying to see who can hit more notes in a three-second sequence than they are interested in trying to put their heart into the music they're singing. I call it "vocal gymnastics." Another reviewer mentions "less is more" and in this case, I wholeheartedly agree.
Is the review positive or negative?
