All Is Well - Songs For Christmas Reviews

• WOW!!!

  This is a fantastic little Christmas album! Too bad there are only 4 songs - it leaves you wanting more. Clay's vocals are absolutely gorgeous. The arrangements are beautiful, but don't overpower the stellar vocals. The only mistake? Limiting the number of copies available.
  
  

• LOVE IT!

  I would never have been able to get this excellent album by Clay if not for a couple of wonderful friends who tried fervently to get me one. I love this Christmas album as much as his first Christmas album. One of my complains is that it had only 4 songs. I would have loved another full Christmas album by Aiken. My biggest complain is that there were so few copies produced. There are many fans that I know of who wanted this album but cannot get it and this has led to opportunists selling this cd at ridiculous prices. Can't more be made available from the label?
  
  

• Simply breathtaking!!

  I feel so lucky that I was able to get this CD!! This is Clay Aiken doing what he was born to do. All of the songs are beautifully sung, but "All is Well" is absolutely amazing. I don't know of any other singer with such a vocal range who could even begin to do that song justice. This CD is a treasure and makes me hope that Clay will give us more Christmas music in the future. This one is sure to become a classic that will be played long after the Christmas season has ended.
  
  

• $23.00 + for a 4 song CD?

  I totally agree with "acrl" how can anyone justify putting this up for sale for more than $10 the day it came out. Who in their right mind would pay that much for it? That being said, this far too brief recording is a fantastic holiday follow-up to Clay's tremendous Merry Christmas With Love. O Come, O Come Emmanuel is totally changed from the traditional. My one qualm (other than length) is the choice of My Grown-Up Christmas List. It is a glorious rendition, but it seems that most singers today have a recording of it. Happy Holidays to all (even to the Scrooge who wants to make a profit from the recording...Bah, Humbug!!
  
  

• Music is wonderful, opportunists aren't.

  I love this CD. And wish they'd pressed more for retail sale. But I hate that a disc that sold for less than five dollars in the stores is now being sold for $13 + another $3 for shipping. Unreal. I cannot imagine that the seller is anyone remotely a fan of Clay or his voice, or he/she wouldn't be trying to make such a shameful profit.
  
  
• Incredible and Amazing
  By A298PC298T5LKK on 2006-12-06
  This Christmas CD is a masterpiece and is a must-have for music lovers that long for incredible and amazing vocals and beautiful instrumentation. Clay Aiken has the most powerful, brilliant voice I have ever heard by a pop male singer, and he is so musical in his delivery of the notes. This Christmas CD, along with the "Merry Christmas With Love" CD by Clay Aiken are necessary for your collection.
  
  
• Beautiful!
  By A3GR42OXD7EB8I on 2006-12-14
  Love all the songs, but I bought it for "All is Well, and "Emanuel." Surprisingly, I really like his take on "My Grown up Christmas List." The first time I heard that song was by Kelly Clarkson and I loved the way she sang it. Now I love it by Clay too. I would highly recommend this cd, but you won't be able to get it. It's all sold out. My sister heard mine and wanted it. I went back to the Walmart and they were gone.

  Clay's Brand New Christmas CD: All Is Well is amazing!!!!!!! It features the songs from Clay's Joyful Noise Tour 2005. It features the songs All Is Well,Christmas Waltz, O Come O Come Emanuel and of course My Grownup Christmas List!!!!! This CD was flawlessly produced. It is amazing!!!!! My favorites on this CD are All Is Well and My Grownup Christmas List!!!!! Clay's vocals always seem to get better and better on each CD he makes. The glory note in All Is Well is held for 8 sec. I really love that glory note!!!!!!

  I love, love, love this CD! I understand there is a shortage. Is there any other way it can be purchased (besides Wall-Mart, who has not stocked properly for the demand)?

• This is a gem
  By AWWMIR9YLQX5Z on 2006-12-06
  I found this EP with great difficulty as there appears to be a limited number available. It is absolutely beautiful. Clay is at his very best here with the Xmas songs that he loves so much. The title song gave me chills. I wish Amazon would stock it so that I clould buy some more for gifts.
  
  
• Awesome
  By A303DDU2N3HRT5 on 2006-12-06
  This is just an awesome little CD. Clay's voice soars right to your heart and the songs are an excellent choice for his voice.
  Love it!
  
  
  
• good Christmas EP
  By A3QYRODX1ZVUEZ on 2007-12-03
  This is a Christmas EP by Clay that was available at Walmart last year. On this one he sings four songs - "All Is Well", "Emmanuel", "The Christmas Waltz", and "My Grown-up Christmas List". Each song is beautifully produced, showcasing Clay's gorgeous voice.
  
  
• ALL IS INDEED WELL - WITH THIS CD!
  By A3LHQZXCE4UDCQ on 2007-12-17
  I found out about this CD last year after it had been released to Walmart as a Limited Edition EP, so I rushed over to my local Walmart to purchase it. Not only were they out of stock but they weren't even planning on restocking any more. I found this album on several websites -- but I couldn't justify plunking down $20 to $30 just to purchase a 4-song CD that originally cost under $5. When I finally found it through a seller on Amazon.com for just under $10, I nabbed it.
  
  It has turned out to be one of the best purchases I have ever made. Clay Aiken not only has a smooth, pure voice but his diction is impeccable and he sings these songs with feeling. I especially enjoyed the title track, "All is Well," a Michael W. Smith & Wayne Kirkpatrick classic. Clay puts a new spin on it, starting it softly in his lower register. When it comes to the climax, he jumps up an octave and soars to the high notes, sending chills up and down my spine!
  
  The next song, "Christmas Waltz," has been covered many times, from the Carpenters to Michael W. Smith, but Clay still knows how to take this classic and make it is own. The third song, "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," is a Steven Curtis Chapman arrangement which is very effective and beautiful. The EP closes with "My Grown-Up Christmas List," which was a tribute to his brother who was serving in Iraq at the time.
  
  Even though the price has dropped considerably since I purchased it -- and it is also now available on iTunes -- it was still well worth the price. In fact, I've listened to it a bazillion times (including 4 times before the month of December!). My only real complaint -- too short!
  
  I think this is one of the best albums Clay Aiken has made. See for yourself - buy this EP. You won't be disappointed.
  
  
• All is Well for Aiken and the Idols
  By A2E8KEZOTK35CD on 2007-12-20
  I agree, this is a definite must have. I think it makes a great gift! There's another option if you're buying this because you're an Idol fan, however. On Amazon, you can also purchase a karaoke device called Talent Challenge, which includes Clay Aiken's music. Here's the link: www.techtogo.com
  
  
  
• All Is Well is no longer a limited edition....thank goodness
  By A2Z92LL6CT332W on 2007-11-21
  Last, Christmas, I was fortunate enough to find a copy of this little gem at a local Walmart store. I was disheartened to learn that many people were not able to find copies of this particular EP. There are only four songs (hence, it is technically an EP), but, they are all wonderful selections. I love Clay Aiken's rendition of Grown Up Christmas List and Christmas Waltz is very good. The two songs I had never heard of, prior to obtaining this EP, were All Is Well and Emmanuel (actually, I had heard the old, classical version of Emmanuel). All Is Well is a beautiful song and probably my favourite. The range within this song makes Clay have to perform some vocal gymnastics. It is a powerful song that will give you goosebumps. The traditional version of Emmanuel has always been one of my favourite Christmas carols. I never thought that I would ever enjoy such a different rendition of this song - but I love it. I wish that Amazon would carry this EP, but, having said that, ITunes will be carrying it beginning December 4th - so it will no longer be difficult to find. I highly recommend that anyone who enjoys great Christmas music checks this very special EP out. I don't think anyone will be disappointed.
  
  
• Great little album.
  By A3H3VMHLC3KAD4 on 2007-11-23
  This is a wonderful little album.
  I was thrilled when I saw that it will be released through iTunes on Dec. 4, 2007. All Is Well and O Come O Come Emmanuel are amazing.
  
  
• Short, Simple, Sensational
  By A3OI4VE8FKV8HC on 2007-11-27
  This project by Clay Aiken is awesome. Yes, there may be only 4 tracks, but they are beautiful and make a perfect set with Clay's "Merry Christmas with Love". His voice is strong, emotional and flawless.
  
  
  
• AMAZING Little Christmas EP
  By A17EQ0WOU7QS47 on 2008-01-07
  I have said this before and I'll say it again, no one can sing Christmas music like Clay Aiken. This is a GORGEOUS little CD for the holiday season. Every song is filled with emotion and power. A must have for your music collection!
  
  
• America's Heart Throb
  By A160OPVEVJIV0E on 2008-01-12
  I've loved Clay since his beginning on American Idol. He has a voice that melts my heart and sends chills up and down my spine. To hear him sing will make you love him too.
