5.0 out of 5 stars Silver and Gold has the "Right Stuff", November 1, 2004

When I think of the name Vanessa Williams it is synonymous with class, grace, eloquence, drive, determination and sheer talents. The girl has gone from Syracuse to Broadway and didn't miss a beat. Not to mention a Tony nod for "In the Woods". This lady presence commands and receives respects from fans and critics alike. One would expect another secular cd from this beautiful creature since it has been a while; however, once again V. tackles another Christmas cd. I would be the first to say, "I am not fond of Christmas music". I mean how many ways can you sing "Joy to the World" which by the way is one of the fine cuts on this cd in which she teams with Brian McKnight". Nevertheless, V's rich smooth voice makes even the most boring of Christmas songs delightful to listen to. Each cut from beginning to end is well done and has a wonderful music arrangement. Because her voice is not overpowering, she is able to interpret each song beautifully without going over the top or over singing. This is a wonderful collection of old staples and some fresh new ones. I highly recommend it for your holiday gatherings or just chilling alone. I am truly a fan for life.

We have waited for SEVEN years(!!!) to get her new recording album. And now, Vanessa's back and better than ever!
"Silver & Gold" is a treasury of Christmas blessings in variety. Vanessa once again shows her range and talent in her singing career. "Silver & Gold" is a great Xmas album, just as good as her last one "Star Bright".
The title single "Silver and Gold" is elegant and beautiful tone that Vanessa's good at. "Joy to the World", a duet with Brian McKnight is so fresh and new, they both give terrific voice performance."Rise up, Sheperd and Follow" is the powerful Gospel taste to show Vanessa's soulful voice. We can also remember the R&B diva via "December Lullaby", a great great song!There's also some Jazz songs in this album, Vanessa's Favorite music style.
Welcome back, Vanessa!

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome Back!, October 17, 2004

For the past 21 years, I have followed this strikingly stunning woman that I have EVER laid my eyes on! You see, she is now a true music legend! She has gone from Miss America to A First-Class Pop-Diva and a well-established QUEEN! She has really saved us with her best work yet-Her 2nd Christmas CD, and I'd hope her next one will be a Smooth-jazz album, which happens to be her penchant. Not bad for a woman who is still selling PROACTIV at 4 am in the morning!
