These Are Special Times

[algorhythm]

Did u guys know that a Christian band covered Don't Save It All For Christmas Day? Their name is Avalon. In fairness, their version is good, too. Cos the arrangement is the same as Celine's. It like a male version of Celine, hehe.

Of course!

 

Jody McBrayer has absolutely one of the most beautiful and powerful voices ever.

 

I was seriously shocked when I saw that album for the first time and listened to it.

I knew that Janna Long from the group has been a Celine fan. She attended the taping of "Live in Memphis." Celine is one of her role models.

 

I've been a fan of Avalon's for seven years. I've seen them live.

They're actually coming to my city next month, but I'll be on my way back from seeing Celine in Vegas, so I will miss it. I feel a little bit uneasy because during Christmas time, they perform their Christmas songs. Unfortunately, Jody is no longer with the group. He has heart problems and has left to group to concentrate on his health, his well-being and his family.

O Holy Night, definitely by far is her best rendition. No one in the world couldn't have possibly sung it better than her did. This song is one of my favourites btw!

Yeah! I agree with you. Her rendition is the best ever. I've heard a lot of renditions. I do like hmmm... i forgot the name of the female singer. But I also like Mariah's rendition.

[nrcda88]

O Holy Night is definitely my #1 on These Are Special Times. Celine's version is soo powerful. These come after: Another Year Has Gone By, The Magic Of Christmas Day, O Come All Ye Faithful (another great rendition), Christmas Eve, These Are The Special Times & Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

yeah, Celine's version is really THA BEST! especially the part when she belted "Noel... NoEEEEELLLLLL!!!!"

[RLAAMJR.]

yEHA! yOU'RE RIGHT. i REALLY LIKE HOW SHE SANG THE SONG AND THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE SONG.

[Lawna]

I Christmas Eve

[RLAAMJR.]

All the songs in her These Are Special Times" album are all beautiful.

 

Ave Maria was really cool!

[WaterFromTheMoon]

does anybody know how many records of TASP were sold and what is the best selling christmas album of all time?

[medley]

I love the title track, Another Year Has Gone By, and The Prayer most

 

O Holy Night -- Celine Has The Best Live Version Of This Song

(You must listen to Xtina's trainwreak version i couldnt stop laughing)

lol yes, the version on christina's xmas cd is blech. she performed Oh Holy Night live at christmas in washington in 1999 though, and that performance was awesome (she sang it in a more traditional way too, not the messed arrangement on the album). i actually really like her version of TAST though.

Have you already listened to this Holiday Album this year??

I think I'm starting today

I waited til the December 1 comes, and now that's it!!

[karatedude317]

Another Year Has Gone By!! THE BEST!!

Do they ever play this song in the US during the holidays??

 

Yes, a lot of Celine's songs are played on U.S. radio from this album.

[RLAAMJR.]

Hmmm... you can check it in wikipedia though it's not reallt that reliable

 

But as far as i know, I think it was either Bing Crosby's album which is the best-selling Christmas album or was it just the single "White Christmas" which is the best-selling Christmas single.

 

Other websites stated it Mariah's Christmas album which is the best-selling Christmas album.

 

I haven't encountered a websiteor articles stating Celine's Christmas album is the best selling Christmas album, but one of the best-selling Christmas albums only.

[celinesounds]

always Another Year Has Gone By

[Terre]

I don't know which song to vote, there are so many songs that I love on TAST! Don't Save It All For Christmas Day, Another Year Has Gone By, Christmas Eve, Happy Xmas (War Is Over) and These Are The Special Times are my very favourite songs. Happy Xmas makes me cry almost every time I hear it.

[Cris77]

I adore this album. I have no doubt, my favourite is "Oh Holy Night" because it's so powerful and tender at the same time. It makes me cry everytime I listen to it. I can´t help it. I also like the rest of the songs particularly the Xmas song. Have you heard the french version? it´s so divine. I'd love her 2 French Xmas albums were remastered and edited on CD. It would be wonderful.

[RLAAMJR.]

We should all buy her Christmas album again. We should make it the bestselling Christmas album.

[algorhythm]

i can't believe O Holy Night is leading the poll! eheheh.. for me, her version is really the best! exceptional!

[RLAAMJR.]

Celine fans seem to prefer slow songs than the fast ones. "It's Christmas Eve" is at third place.

[gurinderfiles]

Oh, yeah. Definitely O HOLY NIGHT. Can anyone recall the opening song on her "There Are Special Times" TV Special?

[idroveallnight]

The Power of Love

[celinemanic]

Absolutely amazing, she is so captivating. God himself gave her the power! Oh Holy Night Video

[Orell]

There are so many good songs there, but I think

I would go with 'Oh holy night' because she shows

a huge diversity of her vocal abilities which is amazing!

[celinemanic]

Someone above mentioned that Mariah sings it also good. I think she only screams and tries to step on the right notes whispering on the low ones, and realizing that nothing else impresses the audience she makes a whistle note. Yuk. Celine's the best!!!

[gurinderfiles]

The Power of Love

 

That's what I thought. I'm actually thinking if it's O HOLY NIGHT or THE POWER OF LOVE. Thanks for reminding.

[RLAAMJR.]

Have you bought her Christmas album this Christmas?

[algorhythm]

not yet available

[Yangedd]

I voted "The Magic Of Christmas Day"!

 

It's my fave song from the whole album.
