I love Jewel's version of The Christmas Song

Sleigh Ride is a fun one, too!

I'm looking forward to this! Mister and I will try out our cool new digital TV recorder on this one.

I didn't like the last Christmas cd.

She has such an amazing vocal range and it's totally lost on that cd.

Yes! Yes! A thousand times YES!!!

I much prefer "Joy". Her voice is amazeballs on that CD.

I watched the whole thing today. I wouldn't have known any of them were country since they were singing Christmas songs. Thankfully!

And I would love to hear Jewel and Jennifer Nettles sing together. Jennifer has a really powerful voice. I've seen her once with Sugarland (free tix - don't normally do country) and I'm actually going to see her solo next month. Her solo stuff is much less twangy, so I'm excited. Anyway, I think they would sound wonderful together. Wish list.

I watched everyone on mute.

I thought Jewel was good, it was cute, but just - eh. I used to love when she did Christmas songs, because she used to really let go and power it out. And not over-sing. It takes such incredible control to do that. But she plays it safe so much now. Maybe it was the show. You know, you get a shmuck running audio and they don't know what to do. It was nice, I guess I expected more. I expected that range that makes me cry. Again, I think I expect too much.

We listened to both a few weeks ago. Let it Snow got put away after one listen. With the perspective of a couple years since its release, the kids album influences are just glaring on that one. But Joy...we love the hell out of it and it's in the CD player all the time. EXCEPT:

Rudolph (and Nedra). HATE.

So much so, that I ripped the CD and burned a new one after shooting Rudolph off of it and into the center of the Sun. Much better now. I should have done the same with I Wonder as I Wander but it just scraped by while I wasn't paying attention, and Face of Love is so gorgeous it overcomes the presence of Nedra.

Everything else on the record?

Hi, Randy!! Nice to see you!!!!

Hi, Randy!

I like that version of Rudolf

Same! I actually really like the songs Jewel sings with Nedra on this album.... and I don't think I can stop now!
I wonder how Jewel feels if and when she hears herself singing with her mother. Does she turn it off? Break down and cry? Laugh it off? I wonder....

She did a Christmas, Austin City Limits...I think, somewhere around '99. She had those brown suede pants on...she sounded angelic, but man did she look pissed. I always liked the Letterman version of "Face of Love", sans Nedra.
