Editorial Review:
Mariah Carey, Merry Christmas
Description of Merry Christmas:
She's been hailed for her multi-octave vocal range--a tool that sometimes detracts from her pop recordings, but actually works quite beautifully in the context of this charming holiday collection. Fans will surely approve of Carey's renditions of slinky secular songs like "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)" and a nicely subdued "All I Want for Christmas Is You". But where she really surprises is in her unadorned delivery of traditional carols, highlighted by "Silent Night" (which she sings quietly, avoiding the temptation to wail those high notes) and "Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child". Merry Christmas is a must for die-hards and a pleasant surprise for the unconverted. --David Sprague

Great Holiday CD 
2009-10-14 - Purchased this for my grand-daughter and enjoyed it as well. I highly recommend this CD. Joy to the world!
Ah Mariah
2008-12-13 - Does this woman know how to sing a song the way it was written? Just sing it and it will become your own, woman. You don't have to add 50 notes to every note written just to show off your voice. This has got to be the most annoying CD every produced. I returned it.
The best Mariah album and one of best X-mas releases 
2008-02-28 - Although I was not following Mariah's career as close as I used to at the time of this release, I was very excited when I learned that the X-mas videos were going to be available for the first time on DVD (or in any format really). I give 5 stars to the Original Album and performances of the original songs. But I really did not like much the hip-hop versions of some of the songs and the animated videos. Otherwise this would have been a perfect package. But I guess they wanted to portrait Mariah as she is now and not the adult contemporary artist she used to be. My only major complaint is the quality of the new booklet. It seems that they lost the original artwork masters because the new booklet was obviously a copy of one from the old CD and the new track information was just added on the blank spaces because it is much darker in color than the rest. Hopefully next time they will have more consideration in doing a quality booklet, Mariah deserves no less.
Merry Christmas requires some work!
2008-01-08 - One side worked fine as a normal CD.
Then I tried the other side, and was disappointed at first to find that the "videos" were only one picture per tune.
Only later I found that there really were some music videos on the disc, but it takes a little work to find them with the menu system.
So there are really (at least) 3 different ways to play this disc!
I liked the music.
