I must admit that I was big George Huff fan on AI and was very disappointed when he was voted off. I also will admit that I was somewhat disappointed when I learned that he had signed with Word and was going the gospel/christian route because I had visions of him being the next Sam Cooke or David Ruffin. He truly has a voice that transends generations. After listening to this cd, I'm sorry I ever doubted Mr. Huff. He indeed made the right decision. George definitely takes you to church on Go, Tell It On The Mountain. My only complaint is that the song was not longer. I was definitely clapping my hands and bobbing my head to this one. Listening to this cd, it is evident that George Huff will succeed at whatever genre of music he decides to sing. I could listen to Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas a thousand times and never get tired of it. His voice is so mellow, soothing, and relaxing. He does a beautiful job on it. On the Medley: Angels We Have Heard on High/Hark the Herald Angels, I found myself saying please George do a jazz album. This is truly a great first cd and just wets my tastebud in anticipation of for his full cd. If it is anything like the Christmas Ep, George Huff will be around a long, long time. This cd is highly recommended. Great job, George.

I was devastated when George Huff got knocked out of AI3 - he deserved to go much further than Jasmine Trias! But we're beyond that now. I love George's silky smooth voice with just a touch of gruffness underneath. And he does such a warm job with these Christmas classics, I can't wait to hear more from him!

One note - if you use Windows Media Player, the song clips may play out of order. You know you want to play them all anyway! ;)

I just love this entire EP and only wished it was longer. But now I have so much to look forward to when George Huff puts out his full length CD in 2005.

Each song is just better and better.

Go Tell It On The Mountain: GETS YOU OUT OF YOUR CHAIR AND CLAPPING

Silent Night and O Holy Night, are CHRISTMAS CLASSICS AT THIER BEST!!!

STANDING OVATION HERE MR. HUFF!!!!

I'm blown away by George Huff's voice. On Idol, we didn't hear the fullrange of his talent with those 2 minute renditions of songs picked by the producers. This album shows him to have an incredible range that is closer to Clay Aiken than to Ruben Studdard. While his music is definitely soulful, it's also pop friendly. On this, he turns in honorable renditions of Christmas classics such as "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" which is smooth jazzy and shows off his warm, husky vocals. Also interesting is the cool way producers Cedric & Victor Caldwell play the melody of "Me & Mrs. Jones" under the "Angeles Medley." It's very smooth and unique.

On "Silent Night" and "Oh Holy Night" Huff just plainly shows why he was the highest ranked male on this year's "American Idol." He belts the tunes without over-singing, providing the perfect amount of climatic drama without screaming into our ears like so many singers do today. Finally, George pays homage to his New Orleans roots with a bluesy, uptempo take on "Go Tell It on the Mountain." This five song collection and the low retail price guarantee that this will be a hit with Idol fans and all others who enjoy holiday music.

I thought George should've won american idol, but that's another story. His voice is so smooth, nice R&B style. He seems like a good kid too. I wish he made a complete Christmas album instead of the 5 song version and hopefully releases his own album soon. Love ya George!!! (Huff bounce) You've got TONS of fans, keep it coming, man.

George did a wonderful job on this ep....I am completely blown away.The medley is so awesome because it starts off with the me and mrs.Jones music and then it goes into this sort of popish sort of orchestra type sound.Silent night is nice and smooth.Have your self a merry little christmas is one of my favs.its just so smooth.I keep using that word because it is.O holy night has so much passion and emotion and he really shows his range.Go tell it on the mountain makes you get up and dance.I can really picture my self playing this around the fire place on christmas.Its so good I wish it was a full length cd...hahaha.I guess I will have to wait on that.

I was a fan of George during AI3 and expected that I might enjoy his Christmas CD but I was not expecting to like it this much. I really, really loved this CD. The first four songs are very soft and are just lovely while the last "Go Tell It On the Mountain" ROCKS! Thanks George, that was a nice little Christmas present! (sorry to underestimate you).

George Huff may not have made it past spot number 5 on Season Three of American Idol, but he certainly should have. He has now released "My Christmas EP" from Curb records, who wisely snapped up Season Two's talented Kimberley Locke. Huff sings 5 traditional Christmas songs, my favorite being "Go Tell it on the Mountain". Fans of Huff will be pleased with this EP and will support the knowledge that nice guy's may not always win, but they don't have to finish last----another AI contestant, Clay Aiken, can definitely attest to that! If you are a George Huff fan you will absolutely want to add this to your collection. If you are a lover of good Christmas songs, this one is for you too! I look forward to a full set of songs from him on a new cd!

Just my opinion, however. :-) George Huff has to be the most likebale, most marketable of the Idol finalists I've seen. This is a good effort, but as someone said, George can make anything sound good. I just hope he does a *real* solo project in the furture. He's a rare voice. Pick this up if you dig George...

All of these recordings have a peaceful reverece to them. My mind and heart are focused on Christ as I close my eyes and see what George must have as he recorded them. I see Angels and a Savior who is healing, majestic, and omnipresent. George is offering tenderness, Peace, and Hope. It's George sharing his song from deep within his soul. George adds a deep spiritual tone to these beloved songs and touches the core of my heart!
Go Tell it on the Mountain is my Favorite on the EP! Soulful, Gospel, it's a story, it's church, it's a smile and Joy! It's George! I am bouncing and singing with this sweet soulful voice. He draws me in and calms my spirit, ignites a passion for the reason for this season. I look forward to all that he will record in the coming months! You can rest assured I will keep coming back to listen and feel Joyful!
