I LOVE THIS CHRISTMAS ALBUM. THIS IS MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS ALBUM. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM TO ANY JACKSON 5 FAN.
We loved this album growing up with my siblings and cousins. I found this CD on Amazon and bought it immediately. Now I'm playing it the day after Thanksgiving for my son who's 3. He absolutely loves it just like I did when I was a little girl.
The best known song is their hit cover version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", but they also do the best version of "Up on the House Top" ever. This is a really great Christmas album. Of course, the ironic thing is that as Jehovah's Witnesses, the Jackson 5 didn't celebrate Christmas. It's got that funk/bubblegum sound that the Jackson 5 is famous for. The Jackson 5 were rightly known for the great singing of young Michael, but the songs that Jermaine sings lead on here are great, too. But if Jewish people like Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond and Kenny G. can record Christmas albums, so can Jehovah's Witnesses.
You can see that yes Michael was the dynamic singer in the group though the others were good Michael just shined on songs like Someday at Christmas and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. I was shocked that even though we owned the Temptations Give Love At Christmas (another five star great Christmas album) that we didn't own this one so I bought it last year for the first time. I was born in the 80s so this CD was before my time but my parents always played the Jackson Five's music for me. Everyone also knows their energetic versions of Frost the Snowman and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town and if you've ever heard them then you love em. It was only 8 bucks but boy was it EVER worth it. It easily became one of my favorite Christmas CDs and it showcases the Jackson Five at it's absolute best. The energy and beautiful vocals in each song will mesmerize you while filling you with the spirit of the holiday.I believe you are not celebrating Christmas nor is your Christmas music collection complete until you make the Jacksons apart of it. This is a must have for the holidays.
All of the brothers were talented, but Michael was definitely the superstar. Have you ever heard another 10-year-old with such an incredible voice. If the song, Give love on Christmas Day, doesn't impress you, you know nothing about music. He was only about 10 years old. Hell no. This whole album is great, the price is such a bargain too.
