The new Christmas record by Jessica Simpson is a real great piece of music because she's singing like in the past. You can hear her powerful clear voice. On her last album "Do you know" her voice sounded rough a bit but on "Happy Christmas" she is singing like an angel and if you hear it you will agree with me. Jess is showing her vocal skills in perfection. You can hear a powerful,high,low and always touching and soft voice.
My Only Wish
Very nice fast up-tempo song with a nice melody and clear vocals.
The music has a saxophone, sleigh bells and a piano part.
Here Comes Santa Claus/Santa Claus is Coming to Town)
This one is one of my faves... nice medley and it brings lots of fun into the songs.
The song has good guitar parts electro and acoustic and a nice bridge with a background choir.
O Come O Come Emmanuel
This song is a bit comparable with "what child is this" (from Rejoyce). The music is piano with a string orchestra... very emotional atmosphere and one of the highlights. Jess is showing what she's able to do with her voice. Its very powerful...
I'll Be Home For Christmas (duet with John Britt)
I'm surprised. I never expected that this duet would be so good.
John is making a good job here. The music is slow, with a soft cymbal beat and a string orchestra with typical Christmas sounds (decent).
Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
One of the most famous Christmas songs ever. Jess is singing very powerful and gives her own interpretation to this song.
6. Mary Did You Know
The music is like a typical ballad made for Jess. The sound is near to I wanna love you forever...
The vocals are very clear, powerful and touching too...
7. Merry Christmas Baby (duet with Willie Nelson)
This song is the only country styled Christmas song on this album with electric and acoustic guitar, piano and a Hammond organ. Its sounds like a big band performance - awesome.
The vocals of Jess are showing a wide range of tones... its very special but it sounds good and different to the other tracks.
Kiss Me For Christmas
A soft slow beat with a piano, it's a silent song.
The music is styled like a typical ballad for Jessica - and that's what she can perform so amazingly.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
This song has a string orchestra and piano with a soft cymbal beat with a very clear voice...
Carol of the Bells
Its nice how Jess is imitating the bells (ding dong ding dong). I never heard this song before. It's a very interesting melody and a good choir in the background.
The music is typical Christmas sound with sleigh bells, electric guitar,piano and strings orchestra.
Hidden Track 1 (Jingle Bell Rock)
Jessica's voice, a background choir, a band with sleigh bell-drums, piano and an acoustic guitar...
The piano solo part between the verses is very nice to hear.
Hidden Track 2 (Silent night)
Very silent, very touching...
Classic bells are ringing, a string orchestra is accompany to Jessica's voice. It sounds very harmonic and fits together perfectly...Jess is showing that shes still able to sing very emotional.
CONCLUSION
There is no bad song on the record. Jess is showing that she's still one of the most talented female vocal acts we have. Everyone who liked the 1st Christmas record will love this one.
I hope this record is her step back into music and we can look forward to a new studio album in the next year.
Thanks Jessica, you've done everything right on this record.
I don't had Christmas feelings but after this record I'm waiting for Santa :-)
Nice greetings from

This is the greatest production and vocal skills I've heard from jessica in a long time. If this is anything like her newest album to come than Jess will be back on top of her game again. All those who counted her out will regret what they've said, good work from The Dream and Tricky Stewart.

Christmastime is upon us once again. We hold what is near and dear close to us, spend time with special people and glory in a time of year where hopefully people are trying to be better to one another. It is also the time of year for Christmas cds. Almost every singer seems to have one. What sets them apart? It is totally the intent behind it. It's a quick money maker for some and then you have those who truly love the season and want to use their craft to share their feelings with others. That is what Jessica does here. I own many Christmas cds and after only the first listen this one is my favorite. This is a mature Jessica singing classic songs with respect, singing some new songs with happiness and the listener can't help but get in the spirit. One often forgets that Jessica started out as purely a singer and she possessed an awesome vocal range and tackled songs from pop, ballads and gospel with pure emotion. This is a talented woman. She then had some commercial releases and now she has a gift for us. She returns to the roots of her talent, her pure and strong vocals.
The cd opens like holiday magic with MY ONLY WISH. It sets the holiday tone and it never lets up. She puts magic into pop classics like SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN and HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS. She treats the spiritual classics O COME O COME EMMANUEL and MARY DID YOU KNOW with much respect. The instrumentation on this whole cd is great but in the forefront are Jessica's beautiful vocals. No gimmicks. Just heartfelt emotions and her vocal talent and range in full display. Her joy for this season is very apparent. She cowrote MY ONLY WISH and KISS ME FOR CHRISTMAS. CAROLS OF THE BELLS is awe-inspiring with perfect vocals from Jessica used throughout. She sings the lead and her voice is used for all the background vocals including the bells. Exsquisite and heartwarming. And we get the sexy, fun Jessica on MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY sung with Willie Nelson.
There are two bonus tracks here - JINGLE BELL ROCK and SILENT NIGHT. Bottom line, Jessica puts her heart and soul into this cd. She belts with heart and carefully caresses where need be. Her vocals are exsquisite whatever the type of song. She has never sounded better. So cuddle with your loved one, put up the tree or have a hot mug of your favorite beverage and put on Jessica. She will bring joy, emotion and the true feelings of the holidays into whatever you are doing. I give the highest kudos to Jessica. I planned on liking this cd but am thrilled that it has instead become a classic that will be a part of every holiday season for me from now on. Highly recommended.

Not as good as the first
I love Jessica but this album was not as good as her Re:Joyce album. Seemed more like she thought she needed to put out an album so she just recorded a bunch of songs without much... Read more

Great Follow-Up CD
I love Jessica Simpson's original Christmas album so I was so excited to hear she was coming out with a new one. If the original is a 10, then this is definitely a 9 & a half. Read more

Boring CD
The CD was very boring, the only "okay" song was the first one. My girlfriend is a DIE HARD Jessica Simpson fan and she listened to it one time and hasn't touched it since.

This CD was okay. I only really like the first song...everything else seems to be way too slow for me.

Happy Christmas
There were about 2 slow songs that I skipped after the first listen, but the rest make up for it. This is a great Christmas CD and I'm glad I made the purchase!

Is it just me or does it sound like most of these reviews (5 star) were written by Jessica herself, her family members or close friends?
