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 Album October 25, 2005

This has got to be one of the best Christmas albums ever made. Every track on this CD is spectacular and Mariah performs these tracks without changing them too much from the original classics so anyone who listens can really appreciate them. The DVD side of this is also very enjoyable, along with the new version of Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. I didn't think it was possible for even Mariah to do a better rendition than the original album version. The new version is very soulful and sounds old school, like something The Jackson 5 would've performed.

The legendary Mariah Carey's updated version of Merry Christmas is nothing short of astonishing! On the second disc she updates her now classic performances from the album's original 1994 release. Her vocals are amazing and sound as good as ever as she takes these songs into the stratosphere. Mariah's singing is inspired and she demonstrates that even after 15 years in the music business she is still reaching new highs in artistry and vocal performance. Mariah has taken the best, and best-selling Christmas album ever made and made it BETTER!!! With her enormous talent fully on display, Mariah delivers a CD that is her perfect way of saying "Merry Christmas" to us all.

Received this today, from Amazon.com from my friend Chellie, for Christmas, from my wishlist. I'm so happy to have it because of the 2 bonus tracks and the wonderful, magical videos on the DVD side. I never realized the CD was re-released in DualDisc format until 1 month ago. I've already got the original 1994 release, which has been played so many times, it's glowing. Every year, Mariah Carey puts me into the spirit with her many styles of Christmas songs. Whether it's a gospel delight, a love ballad or a traditional Christmas song, this album brings nothing but holiday cheer to my life.
CD AUDIO SIDE:
01- Silent Night
02- All I want for Christmas Is You
03- O Holy Night
04- Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
05- Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)
06- Joy To The World
07- Jesus Born on This Day
08- Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
09- Hark! The Herald Angels Sing/Gloria In Excelcis Deo
10- Jesus Oh What A Wonderful Child
Bonus Tracks
11- God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
12- Santa Claus is Comin' To Town (Anniversary Mix)
DVD SIDE:
Features: All 12 Songs in Enhanced PCM Stereo + 8 Music Videos
01- Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town <> (Animated Video)
01- All I Want For Christmas Is You
02- Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)
03- All I Want For Christmas Is You (J.D. Remix ANIMATED)
04- Joy To The World (Celebration Mix Video)
05- O Holy Night (Live)
06- All I Want For Christmas Is You (Black & White Video Version)
07- Joy to the World (Live at St-John The Divine)
The Booklet features the same photos as in the original 1994 release + additional info at the back for the DualDisc version. The Jewel case packaging for this item is slightly smaller than the original version, making it a nice collector's item.
Customer Notes:
- The Audio side of this disc does not conform to CD specs, therefore will not play on SOME CD and DVD players!
- FBI Anti-Piracy Warning: Unauthorized copying is punishable under federal law
- DVD Video
- NTSC Format (USA and Canada + Others)
- There is only 1 Disc in this package!!!
- When you insert the Disc with the green side up, it is for playing the DVD
- When you insert the Disc with the red side up, it is for playing the CD
- Due to the disc being double sided, it's fragile and highly sensitive to fingerprints & dirt/grease
The sound quality is clear & crisp and makes the CD a joy to listen to, even after 12 years. The CD should play in a SONY discman...given it's a newer model of discman. Some portable CD players may not be able to play it because the technology wasn't the same as now.
Upon viewing the videos, I realized just how much love & devotion Mariah puts into her singing and her onstage performances. And the home video footage in the videos is really special because we see Mariah behind the scenes, rather than all glitzy and in front of the press. Anyone who buys this item will like it more, even if they were disappointed because of some small things like songs not being included, or the CD not being expanded enough.
It still makes a lovely Christmas gift and it will continue to brighten up your Christmas holiday each time you listen.
Best Christmas CD on the PLANET!!! December 10, 2005

One high note from Miss Carey, and your skin then becomes covered with goosebumps. What a rare talent Mariah has, there is truly no one on this planet who possesses the vocal prowess of Mariah Carey.On this album her voice pierces you like a lighthouse guiding ships to shore. Her talent and voice is so amazing it could light a dark room, and this album displays it. Fans, and non-fans a like will love this Christmas Cd. Whether its Silent Night that warms your soul, or Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child that will have feeling like you just stepped out a church. All of the songs are spectacular, but wow, O Holy Night, leaves me speechless...at when she sings, "...ohh night devineee" she jumps two octaves and sings a C7 which is remarkable. People can say what they want about Miss Carey, but you cant deny that superb instrument!
You will not be disappointed by this Album, its amazing. The Dual Disc comes with God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and and new mix of Santa Clause is Coming to Town.
