5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas with Miss Ross, November 20, 2004

By 

Rod Reviewer (VA USA) - See all my reviews

Diana Ross and Christmas songs fit like hand in glove. The warmth, emotion and feeling that she pours into these songs make this CD perfect for this season. It is hard to believe or understand why this CD was never released into the mainstream market. I just happened to discover it in NYC several years ago, but I have still never seen it in any local music store where I live. I guess with all the Britney, Hillary and Jessica CDs on the shelves, the merchants simply couldn't make room for Miss Ross. What a shame that we are subjected to the likes of these wannabes, while true, vocal brilliance like Diana's seems to remain in the shadows.

In any event, if you like Christmas music and don't have this CD, click the "Buy This Now" button immediately! I promise you won't take it out of your CD player until after New Years!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very Special CD from the Supreme Diva, December 3, 2004

I was doing a search online to find some nice Christmas music when I stumbled upon this CD. I ordered it out of curiosity and have not stopped listening since. My question is, why is a CD this good so unknown?

I have heard Diana Ross sing before, but never had I heard her voice so clear and beautiful. All the songs are beautiful. When I listened to "What the World Needs Now", "His Eye is on the Sparrow", and "Overjoyed", I thought, this is some great stuff, but then I listened to "O Holy Night" and "Ave Maria", and got goose pimples all over.

It is really sad that this CD is not promoted for Christmas, but I am taking it with me to church for the entire month of December, and play one or two songs each Sunday so my brothers and sisters can hear such beautiful renditions of these Christmas favorites.

Well done Ms. Ross!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily Diana Ross' best CD of the 90s..., December 20, 2004

By 

JoJo (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Very Special Season (Audio CD)

A wonderful, first class CD by Diana Ross...easily the best music she made in the 1990s. The arrangements are classic, the songs are tasteful--in short, it's a perfect Christmas CD from start to finish, and Diana does everything right. My question is, why on earth was this not released in the U.S.? Is it too sophisticated for Americans? Since Diana Ross' recent lackluster albums were released in the U.S. (such as "Take Me Higher" and "Every Day Is A New Day"), why not release her best album from that era? Bewildering. And, to boost, those albums fizzled and were forgotten after three weeks...good Christmas albums like this one sell year after year after year, and become reliable catalogue items.
