I read about this CD in the NY Daily News, and ordered a copy. WOW! The CD is literally thrilling, like being at a live concert! Some big time singers make up this CD, Billy Porter has an amazin solo, Gavin Creel's voice is as beautiful as any, Michael McElroy is a genius! If you buy one Christmas CD, this is the one. Beautiful, powerful, and true to the title, it has brought me great joy. I am getting a few more for gifts, this is truly something to share in this season.

Great Joy has quickly become my favorite Christmas album! The Broadway Inspirational Voices bring so much energy and well, joy, to every song. It also features solos by some great Broadway performers (Gavin Creel, Billy Porter, etc.).

I bought this CD when it first came out several years ago after a live performance in Cleveland, OH (McElroy's home). It is definitely one of the best Christmas CD's around. It is awesome. I direct a choir and we have sung almost every song on this CD since I purchased it. I only wish they would come out with a second one!

Gospel music for Christmas is pretty much non existent. We were thrilled to find this CD. The arrangements of these standard tunes are absolutely fantastic. We bought the CD, and then were also able to find the sheet music for our choir. We are excited to get started on the music.

I backed my way into this CD - I heard the choir singing background on a song that's on Brian Stokes Mitchell's CD, and wanted to learn more about them. So I googled the Broadway Inspirational Voices and came up with this CD. I ordered it, and my musical world was transformed. I gave the CD to my choir director, and our choir performed 2 songs from the CD for the holiday services, much to the delight of our congregation. Everyone I have recommended this CD to has fallen in love with it. The arrangements, the singing, and the overall musicianship are at such a high level that you simply MUST HAVE this in your collection. You will NOT be disappointed!!!

I ordered this CD this year after listening to a sample (Joy to the World). I knew I had to have this CD. When it arrived and I listened to it, I was just amazed. Michael McElroy and his crew did an outstanding job on this compilation. The music is awesome. The singing is wonderful. EVERY song is simply amazing, and it causes you to sing along with them. I simply enjoy the fact that they sing the traditional songs and put a little twist to them, but easy to catch on to. If you buy this CD, you will simply enjoy it very much. One of the absolute best. I give it 10 stars!!!!

This is the most amazing CD. It remains my favorite Christmas CD and my favorite gospel CD. If you don't enjoy gospel singers belting out the melody heart and soul, then by all means don't waste your money. On the other hand, if you want to feel the spirit down to your very toes, get ready to sing because you just can't contain the joy of this CD. Wow!

Since my discovery of this Christmas CD three years ago, it remains my favorite! When I first heard it, I felt chills over my body; and the tears just flowed. The music is so beautifully joyous! Love it, love it love it!

I love this CD. Each year, I purchase 2-3 more copies for friends. It's a WONDERFUL gift!!!! Thanks for the fast shipment.

Don't waste your money on this piece of garbage.Sounds like a bunch of alley cats baying at the moon with an occasional recognizable snatch of Christmas music thrown in. It was inspirational, all right--it inspired me to put it in the Goodwill box.
