Michael Buble Christmas Album Review

Posted on Tuesday, November 29, 2011 in Jazz Music

Michael Buble has really taken a liking to recording Christmas albums. This will be his second Christmas album, ‘Let it Snow’ was his first Christmas album released back in 2007. Now, Buble is trying it again four years later, covering all of the best Christmas songs. Does he deliver? Well let’s take a look at some of the tracks on the album.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas:

Buble does this classic Christmas song justice and really delivers a great vocal performance. He keeps the song simple and makes sure that the only distraction is his voice.



White Christmas:

Shania Twain sings along with Buble in this song, yeah you read it right, Shania Twain! What a way to make a comeback, huh? Her voice is beautiful in this song and dare I say she outshines Buble? Hm, I’ll let you be the judge.



Santa Baby (Buddy):

This track is one of the best on the album, I am sure this will be one of your favorites as well. Buble puts his own flare on this classic song and I think I like it better than the original! Who wouldn’t want a Rolex for Christmas?



Jingle Bells:

The Puppini Sisters team up with Buble in this track and for me it just does not work. Jingle Bells is one of my favorite Christmas songs, but to me they did way too much with it. The melody seems out of place, the Puppini Sisters are too loud in the song and Buble is hardly even noticeable.



Silent Night:

Buble does this song justice. I am very critical of ‘Silent Night’ covers because it is such a precious and beautiful song. It’s important to just focus on the lyrics and Buble does just that. I am not saying it’s the best version of the song, but it is definitely top-notch.



Blue Christmas:

The best track on the Album, in my opinion. His voice was made for this song and he gives Elvis Presley a run for his money for the title of, ’Best Blue Christmas Cover Ever.’



The album is jam packed with a total of fifteen Christmas classics. If you buy any Christmas album this season, I would highly recommend that you buy this one. It would make a great stocking stuffer, or it would be great to turn on during your Christmas party.
