Disco de David Archuleta: “Christmas from the Heart”

I am almost afraid to write this review for fear it will sound like the biggest hype of all hypes. But honestly I have never ever heard anything more gorgeous than David's collection of Christmas songs here. I do not care what religion you are, don't even think about not buying this album. Seriously, you do not have to be a Christian, to love this music. It is a true masterpiece. And I do not say that lightly. David has managed in the most uncanny way to get inside each and every song and bring out the real Love that underscores them. I have had tears and chills throughout listening to it. His voice is an exquisite instrument and that combined with his ability to give new meaning to these songs, making each one almost like you have never heard it before, is quite an achievement. This is a word of mouth album. As the word spreads, I think it is going to explode onto the charts as one of the greatest Christmas albums of all time. I think most of us love these songs, especially at this time of the year. But this album is something else. It truly took me by surprise. It's almost like he showed me them as if I had never heard them before. David brings an energy here combined with his immense interpretive powers that transcends religions and genres. This music inspired me to write this review. It inspired me, also, to wish each and every one of you the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of New Years. Let's put it this way, I am now centered in the Christmas spirit. And it's not even Halloween yet. Given what is going on in our country, and all the hatred spewing and terrifying things we read about our economy and global warming and the terrible split between the right and the left, that is saying something. So again, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!! With heartfelt gratitude to you, David Archuleta.

David Archuleta's "Christmas from the Heart" is one of the most beautiful album I have heard in my entire life (and I'm 43 years old). I love each song! It doesn't matter nationality, age, beliefs; David's voice and talent has NO BARRIERS!!!! David's voice is OUT OF THIS WORLD! you can say that he is an angel singing. The arrangements are PERFECT! this album is truly a work of art! a masterpiece! David Archuleta is one of the most talented singers in the history of music! and he is only 18 years old. David is a music legend in the making!!!

Christmas From the Heart is breathtaking! You can definitely feel David's heart with each note he sings. The soaring vocals are exhilarating, but it's in those subtle nuances and quiet notes that will tug at your heart. David caresses each note and takes you on this spiritual journey with him. Even if David has never been your cup of tea, you should definitely give this album a listen. I'll bet you come away with a new appreciation for David and his music.

You probably wouldn't think a 30 year old Jewish male could get much out of this CD.

Although I am strong to my faith, I was deeply touched and inspired by this Christmas album. To be honest, I can not believe I even feel that way. It is almost like his voice can cast a spell on you in the most soothing wonderful way. Even though I am not part of the Christian faith, I was still able to interpret the message in my own way.

David would probably be very surprised to know the diversity of people he effects. I listen to a huge eclectic array of artists and no other has ever had this effect on me. Its really quite astounding.

Please buy this CD or download the MP3.YOU will not be sorry. David's voice is unbelievable. The heartfelt songs and how he sings them just surrounds you. I can't stop listening to these beautiful songs sung by the best singer I have heard in a very long time. He might be the best I EVER heard. English, Spanish, French and Latin. He sings in all 4 languages. I love that he has the true meaning of Christmas in all the songs on the album...100 stars David.
