On this energizing collection of Spanish-language devotional songs, Texan singer Jaci Velásquez uses her deeply emotional, octave-stretching voice to spread the word to a whole new audience. About half the songs are translations of existing hits, from "God So Loved" to "On My Knees," "Little Voice Inside," and "I Promise," while the rest are new songs written in Spanish. The songs are fabulous, and they mirror the eclecticism of contemporary Hispanic sounds--from the amped-up Tejano surefire hit "Con Tu Amor," which will please fans of Selena, to the many lush ballads and the freestyle-inspired dance-floor rocker "Junto a Mi." --Mike McGonigal

5.0 out of 5 stars This Girl's Voice Cries out for mainstream success!, December 29, 1999

By A Customer

I love Jaci Velasquez. I decided to buy this CD because I've heard of her from a tv commerical and heard her somewhere else I can't recall. I was not disappointed. Her music and voice is so incredible. I am either dancing to the tunes of Con tu amor, Manantial de Caricias, or Junto a mi, OR I am moved by the beatiful melodies of Un Lugar Celestial, Solo Tu, De Creer En Ti (the best) or Dentro esta tu voz (the second best). I am not a listener of Christian music but I'm a huge fan of great voices and positive messages. Jaci Velasquez emcompasses both. Her voice rivals the Mariahs, Celines, and Whitneys of the world. I would love to see her get mainstream noteriety but I'm sure most of you believe a lot of her appeal is that she is not a mainstream singer. Still how long can a girl with this kind of voice go unnoticed? I found her. She's a revelation. This is my second Spanish language album after Selena's Dreaming of you. Dare I say it - This girl is better than Selena! No disrespect to the tejano superstar. All I can say is YOU GO GIRL!

5.0 out of 5 stars Latin Music With A Meaningful Twist: Jaci Velasquez!, October 3, 2002

By	LeRoy Walker-Sandoval "Buck" (Jerome, ID USA) - See all my reviews

I have always been a fan of Latin music, well, certain artists like Selena, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias, Jon Secada, and Gloria Estefan. However, none of them (no offense) can match up to the versatility and voice of Jaci Velasquez. Although LLEGAR A TI fits into the Latin genre, because of some of the music, it has a more meaningful twist than the rest of the above. Jaci proves to herself and all her loved ones that she has a purpose in doing in what she does. That purpose is to reach out to believers and unbelievers alike through witnessing for Christ, by music.

Her voice is outstanding on this CD! My all-time favorite song of hers is on it: the title track! The Spanish versions of "Un Lugar Celestial (A Heavenly Place)", "Look At What Love Has Done", "God So Loved", "On My Knees", "Flower In The Rain", and "Little Voice Inside" are just as beautiful as the English versions. The originals are living proof that Jaci loves God, and she loves doing music!

I pray that Jaci will continue to reach out to the Latin community with this "new" kind of Latin music in a very positive way, with both LLEGAR A TI and MI CORAZON! God bless you, sister Jaci!

5.0 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL CD WITH BEAUTIFUL SONGS!, December 12, 1999

By	"jsweed" (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews

I've been an avid Jaci Velasquez fan ever since her Heavenly Place CD and I think this CD by far is the best. Although it is in Spanish, its songs have a great message! Don't listen to the reviews with people putting her "secular album" down. I disagree with them. This CD is VERY inspirational with the meaning and hope of Christ tied into it. Everyone knows that if you want to share the message of Jesus Christ with others, you can't expect them to understand hardcore Christian music. You can only plant the seed. Jaci does a fantastic job with this, and you won't be sorry with buying this CD! Great new songs, some translated old ones. Her voice has matured so much! She sounds even more beautiful!
