Song Review: Melinda Doolittle - God Bless Us Everyone

American Idol Season Six's 2nd runner-up Melinda Doolittle has released her first Christmas song, "God Bless Us Everyone." This delightful holiday tune gets you right in the Christmas spirit as Melinda lists the joys of the season. Melinda's powerful voice shines throughout this heartwarming holiday ballad that has one important message, God bless us everyone. From the magical melody in the beginning to the classic "jingle all the way" guitar strum at the end, in my opinion, this song has the potential to become a hit this Christmas.

This song is available now on iTunes!

Album Review: Michael Bublé - Christmas


Christmas is coming early this year for Michael Bublé! The jazz-pop singer lent his voice to numerous holiday classics on his new album, Christmas, out today. This album features Christmas and holiday favorites with their own Bublé twist! Michael's take on these Christmas songs is intriguing yet delightful as his lovely voice is defined throughout this album. Some of the songs like "Holly Jolly Christmas" and "Blue Christmas" showcase Michael at his best, while other songs like his slower version of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" show Michael's fun and daring side. The album also features Bublé's original song "Cold December Night", a cute, pop song about Michael wanting a girl to fall in love with him for Christmas. This album is full of Christmas spirit in these joyful holiday tunes. I think it'll be a very Bublé Christmas!

Blast from the past: David Archuleta - Christmas From The Heart

It's safe to say that Christmas music comes early for David Archuleta, considering he's preparing to head out on his second Christmas tour and promote the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Glad Christmas Tidings CD he performs on, and today celebrates the 2 year anniversary of his Christmas album Christmas From The Heart.

Christmas From The Heart was released on October 13, 2009, selling 17,000 copies in it's first week. Filled with traditional holiday classics and joyful hymns, this album definitely shows off David's vocal prowess, as well as the apparent majestic tone in his voice as he belts out these Christmas tunes. You can just tell how much these songs mean to him, especially "Melodies of Christmas", the song David helped pen about how Christmas music is so important to the holidays.


Christmas From The Heart debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200 and #2 in Holiday Albums, behind Bob Dylan's Christmas In The Heart. Archuleta also paired up with singing sensation Charice on the classic "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas".
