 JESSICA SIMPSON "REJOYCE THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM" Dec 15, 2008
I own 3 Christmas albums, "Merry Christmas" by Mariah Carey, "Joy: A Holiday Collection" by Jewel and this album by Jessica Simpson. Mariah Carey's voice is outstanding on her Christmas album and Jewel made a brilliant traditional style Christmas album. Jessica Simpson has made a brilliant Pop album, it's very catchy and would fit well for a Christmas party, her version of "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" is an uptempo track that is alot better in my opinion than the original, her voice (contrary to what some people have said) is whispery on some songs (a bit like Mariah's whispery style of singing) but it is fantastic on "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)," "O Holy Night," "What Child Is This" and "Breath Of Heaven (Mary's Song)" - I would actually say that "Breath Of Heaven (Mary's Song)" and "The Little Drummer Boy" are the two best songs on this CD, I'm not a fan of Ashlee Simpson's music but her and Jessica do a fantastic version of the song, the drums are brilliant. Jessica also co-wrote "It's Christmas Time Again" which stands on it's own as a great Christmas song. Like Ashlee Simpson, I'm not a fan of Nick Lachey either, but him and Jessica do a great job of "Baby It's Cold Outside" - she also has another two uptempo songs with "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" (which has a Swing sound to it) and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is has a Gospel choir that just goes crazy towards the end.
A fun, catchy Pop Christmas album, there's nothing "classic" like Mariah's album or traditional like Jewel's, but it is a good album that people should give a chance.

 Happy Homogenized Christmas! Nov 29, 2007
It's a perfectly plain and digestible Christmas album, just don't expect to be moved. You're better off with Mariah Carey's "Merry Christmas" instead.
The best example of how bland this album is her and ex-hubby Nick Lachey's version of "Baby it's cold outside."
It's just about the deadest rendition of this song ever. It's a nuanced and funny song that's she turns humorless and forgettable -- no easy feat. Listen to just about any other version and you'll see, I recommend Brian Setzer's duet with Ann Margaret.
Do yourself a favor and look for a Christmas album that's a little more heartfelt.
 What a stinker. Nov 11, 2007
Rejoyce: The Chirstmas Album by ditzy Jessica Simpson is the worst Christmas-themed cd I have ever heard, and I am serious here guys! The only breathtaking song is Little Drummer Boy, a duet with her sis Ashlee, and you are not gonna believe it but Ashlee sounds better than Jessica on this track! Poor Jessica's voice is too breathy, flat, and just annoying. Jessica has never sounded this dead on an album, what happened to that girl who could belt her heart out? She does a cover of Amy Grant's Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song) and she does not pull it off like Grant's verison. Jessica really messed this up, all the other songs sound hideous, hopefully Jessica won't release another X-mas cd ever again!

Good song choices, wrong voice Oct 06, 2007
I love the songs that were on this cd and thats why I bought it. However she over does many of the words in the song turning a listener off. Nick and Ashlee both do good jobs which saves her in some of them. Would not recommend, rather go with Trans-Siberan Orchestra.

 Nice transaction, horrible CD Jan 19, 2007
No problems with the sender. Very nice and without issues. The CD however, was terrible. I bought it for my fiance and I dont think she listened to more than about 2 songs.
