I first heard her version of "Joy to the World" while watching The Preacher's Wife. I immediately tracked down the soundtrack, then found this album. I am a Christmas music nerd who reveres the classics by Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis, but I must say that Whitney Houston's version of Joy to the World and Who Would Imagine A King are the best versions I have heard - ever. You cannot hear her Joy to the World without feeling true elation, and you cannot help but feel hope while listening to Who Would Imagine a King. Truly touching!
This is a must have album for Christmas and throughtout the year!
Agile Vocal Runs

The last album where Whitney could still sing. The audible effects of smoking/drug use could be heard during certain moments on the album (rattling inhalations, rasp/edge on certain belts, and diction issues), but Whitney's agility and phrasing remained impressive. O Come O Come Emmanuel is an album highlight and Deck the Halls / Silent Night offers a unique uptempo mashup unlikely to be heard from other artists. The First Nöel has lead single polish. Joy to the World is an earlier cut from The Preacher's Wife where Whitney's voice was healthier and more robust than during her 2000's output. The rest is pretty standard fare with less inspired production choices.

If you are looking for an album that highlights Whitney's wonderful voice, ability to sing fantastic scales, and vocal control to hit wonderful clear notes than this album might be for you. If you are looking for recognizable traditional Christmas carols, don't get this album, keep looking.
