Well, Jaci Velasquez is one who's voice you cannot comprehend. Even though Heavenly Place isn't as good as her next self titled album, you can't blame her. She was just getting started. Her voice is way beyond her years, and this cd proves it.

"If This World" Most of Jaci's songs you'll find ethier have a na na, doo do, or la la starting it or in it. Take for example "We Can make a Diffrence" and "Glory". Anyhow, this song had a good message. Pretty ok.

"Un Lugar Celestial(A Heavenly Place)" I love this song! I'll put it as #3. Her voice is great on it. Great title.

"Flower in the Rain" In the beginning of the song, it probebly sounds pretty dull. But amazily it turns into a pretty ballad. One of her great slow songs.

"On My Knees" This is #1. The musical background on this one is amazing. They shaped this song perfectly for Jaci.

"Shelter" Her duet with Chris Rodriguez on this one is pretty good. Their harmony is on the edge and catchy.

"Baptize Me" A good baptism song. I like the chorus. I also like how she stops and talks in the middle.

"We Can Make a Diffrence" I really like how Jaci goes off on the end. A good beat to this song.

"I Promise" This is #2. Very pretty song. I love the lyrics to this one.

"We will Overcome" Not much to this song

"Thief of Always" I like the beginning to this song. A good song for her voice.

Jaci Valesquez will go far with her beautiful and very talented voice.

I read all of these reviews so I could decide which of her albums to get if any at all. It seemed like for every review that declared her first album best there was another vote for her second. Finally one review stated the difference that solidified my decision: "The first album was more acoustic." So I bought it. The cost of the CD is worth the knot-in-the-throat song "On My Knees." However, I happen to LOVE many of the other songs which are written with a spiritual depth and maturity, and sung with a crystal clear, powerful voice that could make anything sound good. "I Promise" is gorgeous and about saving yourself for marriage...'So I promise to be true to you, to live my life in purity, as unto you, waiting for the day when I hear you say here is the one I have created just for you.' Most of the songs on this CD have inspired melodies, where the next note is a surprise and so perfect that the musical arrangement seems like it has always been and was waiting to be discovered. I can't wait to get her next CD. How could it disappoint!

Heavenly Place has been one of the most striking CD's ever. Her music conveys Gods love, mercy, and everlasting power. She has been an admirable guidance for our youth. Our youth group at Christian Tabernacle absolutely love her and her music. Her music has inspired me in a way I could not begin to describe. The lyrics of her songs touch my heart every time. Thank You Jaci for your devotion and love may God Bless you and your family.

This CD is great, even if it is 7 years old. This is definetely the best Jaci CD.

1. If This World 4:04 Great uptempo pop sort of tune. 10/10

3. Flower In The Rain 3:36 Kinda midtempo song. 9.5/10

Overall, my message is, GO BUY THIS CD!!

This is one of the best CDs I've ever owned.I had never heard about Jaci But once my friend let me borrow her CD and I loved it so much,I recorded it and I've been looking for somewhere to buy it and I found the right place! Anyways, my favorite song is"Baptize me"and"Flower in the rain" because they are so nice. I defenetly give it 5 stars and I reccomend it to who ever is reading this.

I only wanted to say that she really knows how to move your heart towards God.

Jaci Velasquez' CD, "Heavenly Place" is really good. It has so many wonderful songs. They are: If This World, Un Lugar Celestial (A Heavenly Place), Flower in the Rain, On My Knees, Shelter, Baptize Me, We Can Make A Difference, I Promise, We Will Overcome, and Thief of Always. Jaci's beautiful voice is reflected perfectly in the 10 songs on this album. From the more upbeat songs "If this World" and "Shelter" to the slow songs "Flower in the Rain" "On My Knees" and "Thief of Always," Jaci reminds us of God's everlasting love and how we can make the world a better place. If you have never heard this album, you need to, because it is SO awesome! Perhaps the Minister of Music at my church said it best, "Jaci keeps putting out more and more songs, and they're always so good!" Well, I definitely agree. You need to get this album!

I'm not under 13, but since I'm not an Amazon member, I used this form. This is SUCH A GREAT CD!!!!!!!! I LOVE If This World!!!!!!! On My Knees, Flower In the Rain, We Can Make a Difference and Un Lugar Celestial are also awesome!! I LOVE THIS CD!!!!!!!!!!!

An impressive debut from then 16 year old Jaci Velasquez. The fastest selling Christian debut.

With a soft, breathy, smoky voice far more mature than her age, the songs range from the Spanish tinged `Lugar Celestial (a heavenly place)', a stunning mid tempo number, the upbeat duet `Shelter', the atmospheric `Baptize me' with it's slow to fast build up, and sound effects, awesome!

Then there are the stunning acoustic ballads; Thief of always', `Flower in the rain' and the absolutely brilliant `On my knees', a song about the power of prayer (penned by Nicole C Mullen and covered on her debut CD too).

Finally, we have the poppy, upbeat numbers `If this world' and `We can make a difference', a style Jaci continues to incorporate in at least a couple of tracks on each of her CDs.

Get this CD!

AS SAID A GREAT GOSPELS SINGER.
