陽光大衛私房粉絲網

這是個用基督教角度來看流行歌曲的網站，所以他們看大衛聖誕專輯的角度有點不一樣，他們說：

＃第二張專輯表現非常好

＃選曲相當多樣化

＃大衛選歌傾向聖歌，而不是流行聖誕歌

＃大衛法文，西班牙文都表現的很好

＃不喜歡最後一首Melodies of Christmas（還把歌名寫錯，不過這首是大衛粉絲票選最喜歡的歌之一哦）

＃整體而言，非常精彩，證明大衛是音樂界不可忽視的新聲音，美國選大衛做idol看來是選對了。

Thanks to Archuleta's stellar pipes, the season is merry and bright.

While a holiday album is still a rather curious choice for an artist's sophomore project, especially when the debut performed respectably like David Archuleta's did, traditional Christmas songs are actually a pretty great match for the American Idol alum's vocal range.

So perhaps, it really was a genius move after all.

But the proof's in the singing, of course, and Archuleta showcases tremendous diversity whether he sticks with tradition on the string-laden opening cut "Joy to the World" or gets a little experimental on "Pat-A-Pan," which is basically the French equivalent of "The Little Drummer Boy" tale. And while the thought of someone from American Idol singing in French might seem rather cringe-worthy, Archuleta actually pulls it off convincingly.

Equally captivating is another oddball choice, "Riu Riu Chiu," a rather somber tune that's sung in Spanish. But thanks to those smooth, polished vocals of Archuleta's, the song really sticks with you, even with repeated listens, which is usually a sign of its timeless quality.

Ultimately opting for more sacred than secular reflections of the season, "What Child Is This," "The First Noel," "Silent Night" and "O Holy Night" are all performed beautifully with fantastic arrangements to boot. But then again when The City of Prague's Philharmonic Orchestra is involved, how bad can a familiar carol be, right?

Sadly, the only misstep on an otherwise engaging yuletide effort is the track that Archuleta helped co-write, the title track "Christmas from the Heart." Not only do clichés abound in the ho-hum lyrics, but the song is ultimately so generic that it's hard imagining that anyone would experience any of those warm and happy feelings that good Christmas music usually conjures up.

But hey, one lackluster track out of 13 definitely isn't bad. If anything Archuleta's Christmas from the Heart proves yet again that he's a viable new voice on the music scene. Yes, for once, America seems to have gotten it right.
