I HAVE 2 COPIES OF THIS CD. I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF IT. THE SONGS ARE SO HEARTFELT.....I LOVE IT. ESPECIALLY. "WHY CHRISTMAS". ITS AWESOME. ITS GREAT TO HEAR ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS INTERPRETATIONS BY ARTIST INSTEAD OF THE SAME OL'''JOLLY CHRISTMAS CAROLS. DON'T GET WE WRONG I LOVE CHRISTMAS CAROLS...ITS JUST THAT NOT EVERYONE IS HAPPY ON CHRISTMAS ITS GOOD TO HAVE GLOOMY SONGS 2.....LOL

This is a great effort from the Boyz, I especially enjoyed their a capella version of Silent Night. Let it snow has become a new Christmas classic, this cd showcased the boyz' amazing singing and writing talent as well as their love of family and the holidays. And this cd should not be considered just for the holidays, it is catchy enough to gain regular rotation with your other cds. I only wished that the cd was longer.

This is the best Christmas album I have ever heard. I bought this album on tape back when it first came out and I still listen to it every Christmas. My tape is starting to wear down so I need to pick up the cd very soon. Their soulful harmony is guaranteed to get anyone into the Christmas spirit. I have often found myself listening to this album whenever I needed a pick-me-up. This cd is one that every Boyz II men fan should get and anyone that loves Christmas songs will not be disappointed either.

This is not the cd to get if you are looking for interpretations of the classic well known Christmas songs. The only one you will get here is 'Silent Night'. The others are new songs all written by the group with help from Brian McKnight. Each song is well done with the Boyz wonderful vocal harmonies. But to me, it took a bit of listening to, before it was able to get me in the Christmas spirit, but that was only because I was not familiar with them. I have had this album now for about 5 years, and it is always played around the Christmas season, except for Christmas Day. That day is reserved for the classic Christmas songs and carols. But for any other day this is a great uplifting album to hear.

I have been enjoying this CD since I purchased it. I do agree with one person who noted that this is an interpretative CD and not a traditional one. That being said, the arrangements and lyrics are in the classical Boys II Men style. I have watched this group's sound mature into a cross between easy listening, R&B and a sprinkling of jazz. Christmas Interpretations is a good effort of intermarrying these genres with some traditional interpretations (Silent Night) and some that are more progressive (Let It Snow). If you are a Boys II Men fan, then you can't pass up this CD.

This is my favorite holiday cd of all time. They did an awesome job of giving the holiday feel yet putting their own twist on the traditional songs. The non-traditional songs are wonderful and in my opinion go on my list of christmas classics. This is one for everyone to place in his/her collection.

I never really liked Christmas Albums but I like this one! Even though it has been thirteen years since the release of this album it's still the best. It not only brings the traditional song such as silent night, but it has an r&b flavor that makes it really good. If your tired of all the "Jingle Bells" and "Here Comes Santa Clause" songs and want something nice, smooth, and relaxing this is the christmas album for you!!!

There is no denying that Boyz II Men is one of the greatest musical groups of our generation. Their harmonies, especially on "Silent Night", are amazing. My only complaint is that I wish there were more traditional Christmas songs on the album. Still worth the great price though!

I first bought this CD a few years ago when I was in College and someone borrowed it and never returned it. I bought it again last year because I remember how much I loved it. Even though it's a few years old now, I still listen to this CD EVERY Christmas! GREAT!!!

A beautiful collection of Christmas songs, inspiring the good in all of us and the love we feel for one another. It is soothing music and makes you feel good. My children love it and it has become our main traditional music we listen to each Christmas.
