Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
It's difficult to conceive of a less imaginative project; song selection, arrangements, even album title all emanate from the stock Yuletide script. Then again, Christmas isn't about innovation, is it? It's about smiles and curling up by the fire and listening to the same songs over and over. For those purposes, McBride's holiday offering will suit you just dandy. Her lovely voice is capable of enormous power and delicate nuance. Dennis Burnside's arrangements don't match up in most cases, although the perky, harp-filled "Let It Snow" and the dark-toned "Away in a Manger" and "What Child Is This" are more attractive than the others. Still, even McBride's substantial pipes can't rescue this record from the doldrums; it overtly distances itself from the whole of her country-music roots. --Marc Greilsamer

Looking for a straight-ahead Christmas record, no gimmicky seasonal songs or original songs trying to sound like classics? Look no further than Martina McBride's White Christmas. It's so completely straight and narrow that the music doesn't even sound country, country-rock, or anything but a very predictable slab of easy-listening pop--strings and all, safe as milk. McBride's not out to sell anything but the songs, all 10 of them, including such staples as "The Christmas Song," "Away in a Manger," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," and... you get the idea. Deep? Not particularly. Surprising? You be the judge. McBride's not blessed with a terribly distinctive voice, and the arrangements are more faithful to the original versions than swans who mate for life. --Martin Keller

Customer Reviews:

A beautiful Christmas album!.......2007-04-10

Now, just because Martina McBride sings country music doesn't mean this cd is in any way country - It's not. It's a great classic Christmas cd with all the classic Christmas songs! Martina sounds amazing on classic songs such as "Do you hear what I hear", "Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow", as well as "Away In A Manger". My personal favourite though is "Silent Night" - one of my favourite Christmas songs, and Martina makes it sound like a beautiful lullaby. A great cd to listen to by the fire while wrapping presents!

The Best Ever.......2007-01-19

I was looking for a Christmas CD - and I needed to look no further than this CD. My husband does not care for "country" music - and even he enjoyed it! It has music you've heard of - not like some of those compilation CD's. I recommend this CD to anyone who wants to hear good Christmas music.

Christmas Album.......2007-01-11

I think this is the best Christmas album I've ever purchased. Every song is beautiful.

Best Christmas Compilation Ever!.......2007-01-10

Martina delivers Christmas with no frills in this wonderful CD. Her crystal clear voice is a true match for these Christmas classics. She doesn't try to put her own spin on the songs, she just sings 'em like they should be sung! Listening to the CD inspired me to buy tickets to her Christmas concert tour, which was the best gift to myself in years!! In the words of my 5 year old, "Martina is just awesome"!

A CLASSIC!!.......2007-01-09

I am not a country fan, but this already one of my favorite holiday CD's. Her voice is smooth and beautiful. It is a classic to be enjoyed for generations.

For right-minded buyers of the reissued Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack, the odds of disappointment are about as remote as Miss Piggy's chances with Kermit. If you loved the movie, you will love the loopy mayhem of the Muppet Brass Buskers ("Good King Wenceslas"), the cartoonish malice of the black-hearted misanthropes Marley & Marley ("Marley & Marley"), and the hope-swollen harmonies of Tiny Tim and Family ("Bless Us All"), Muppeted here to hilariously humble effect. If, on the other hand, your interest in this disc has more to do with its inclusion in the way-narrow Christmas-record-for-kids category--if the spirit of the season doesn't extend, for you, to the magic of the Muppets--you may want to keep browsing, as it's a soundtrack first (overture, instrumentals, and all) and a Christmas CD second. That's not to suggest you're stuck with an un-fun disc should it land on your holiday stack without a prior screening, though. Miles Goodman's score sweeps and inspires, and certain tracks--"One More Sleep 'til Christmas" and "Fozziwig's Party"--are future classics. (Note to the right-minded: After a misstep on the original release, Martina McBride's version of "When Love is Gone" is back.) -Tammy La Gorce

Finally released.......2007-05-23

If your Christmas isn't complete without listening to this music, this CD is a must buy. The audio quality is excellent despite the age of the film. Michael Cain and Belle come out crystal clear in their solo and ensemble work. The surprise of this album is the inclusion of two tracks (one by Beaker and Bunson and one by Scrogge's primary school teacher) that are not in the film. They are fun but unexpected. I could only ask that the CD last longer with such beautiful traditional music, but alas there is no more music to include. Maybe they could market Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island together in the future?

Good CD.......2007-02-14

My wife has been looking for this soundtrack for years. We were very happy to find it and get it so fast. This has some of the best music ever written for a movie.

the muppet christmas carol cd.......2007-01-19

Amazing the songs are so cleaver and i have bee waiting for this for a long time, it has been out of print great cd and the movie is so awesome!!

Holiday Classic with Kermit , Miss Piggy, and Michael Caine.......2007-01-12

The score from The Muppet Christmas Carol is full of the spirit of Christmas. The familiar story by Dicken's is given new life with the great score (mostly written by Paul Williams). Great energy is relayed to the listener as Scrooge (Michael Caine)is painted in words and as Bob Cratchet (Kermit the Frog) sings with his co-workers 'One More Sleep 'Til Christmas'. The love song duet between Scrooge (Michael Caine) and his fiancee during a ghostly vision brings great pathos to the character. For lovers of the Muppets and or Dickens, there is no better way to enter into the spirit of the season.

Awesome.......2007-01-08

These are some of the most heartwarming songs. I even find myself singing the ones about poor Mr. Scrooge.

Sweet Nightmares!.......2006-11-16

I am a huge country music fan, and I love traditional Christmas songs; but Martina pretty much ruined these nice songs! She sounds like a drunk skunk who just finished another bottle of beer and a cigar! If you want nice Christmas music, try Ralna English, Lynn Anderson, or Dolly Parton. Martina is just some Wanna Be star that really isn't anybody. It beats me why a bunch of fruit cakes buy her albums, go to her shows, and get in line for autographs (She'd have to pay me to take a copy of her autograph!) SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Perfect!.......1999-04-07

This is one amazing disc! She shines and I love it

martina's enthusiasm covers this genre extremely well........1999-02-17

I was reluctant to purchase another Christmas album but I had recently become a fan, after purchasing Evolution, with the beautiful song, Valentine. My enthusiasm was greatly increased when I watched the White House Christmas Show. Her rendition of "The Christmas Song" was beautiful.

I waited patiently for her to perform and I was not dissapointed. I am now a loyal fan, forever.

MARTINA'S VOICE IS SO POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!1.......1998-12-01

I bought this CD the day it came out and have listened to it daily since then. She sings all of the classic Christmas songs and does an amazing job. This is one of the best Christmas albums I've ever heard.

Powerful!.......1998-11-29

Martina sings the classics like no one else! She has a voice that will simply give you goose bumps every time you listen. If you love Christmas music, this CD is a must (whether you're a country music fan or not)!
