5.0 out of 5 stars The Patti Labelle of Today, October 24, 2007

By	J. Vitelli "Jeff Vitelli" (philadelphia, pa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you follow Patti Labelle's career, you know she has gone through many different phases. I've read the other reviews of this CD and here are my thoughts...
Patti is 63 now, of course her voice is not what it was 10 0r 20 years ago. Every singer who ages has to adapt their style and the way they approach a song. With that said if you are expecting Patti's powerhouse performances from the 80's and 90's your not going to find them here. A woman's voice is not going to be what it was at age 40 or 50.
However that does not make this CD a bad one by any means. This is definitly a softer side of Patti Labelle that in my opinion compliments Patti's voice today.
Whether or not Patti hits all the notes she used to, she is a true artist in the sense that she takes a song and makes it her own. Her artistic ability is definilty showcased on this CD, it is interesting and shows yet another dimension of this incredible talent. Her voice is still beautiful and she sounds in good form on this CD.
I thought this CD was excellent and a HUGE improvement from "The Gospel According to Patti Labelle." It is well produced, well engineered and i think it has mass appeal. Patti proves you dont have to be loud to be soulful and Patti's voice on this production reminds me of Patti's time with Epic Records on cuts like "Find the Love". This isnt the first time
Patti has shown her softer side and made use of her beautiful "head voice".
This is definitly worth the buy for this christmas season. My favorites at first listen were
"Holidays Mean More To Me" "Its Going to be a Merry Christmas"
"Do you Hear What I Hear" and "Nativity". The best cut on the CD to me is
"Every Year, Every Christmas" there is no question, Patti is singing this one from the heart! My least favorite track was "What do the Lonely Do At Christmas".
Patti Labelle of 2000 may not be the Patti of the 80's and 90's, but to me this CD proves to me Patti is not going anywhere any time soon. She continues to adapt herself as her voice changes and time and time again proves herself as a true artist with many colors.
If you dont have it already, Patti's other Christmas CD "This Christmas" is also a must have.
Enjoy!

By	Rosilyn Dodson "PattiLabelle#1" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a must have for all Patti and fair weather fans. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis Really hit a home run with the instrumentation and Ms. Patti's voice is off the chart! Phenomenal This is the Patti i've been waiting for!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta Have It!, October 9, 2007

By	That Girl "Azi's Girl" - See all my reviews

This CD is absolutely phenomenal. You can play it all year round!!! It has remakes of songs by The Emotions and Luther Vandross, timeless classics with a spin that only Miss Patti could do, and original songs that are sure to be new classics. You'll definitely want 3 copies. One for home, one for the car, and one for work. Happy Listening!!
