Baron Lane: Carrie singing with Elvis is like peanut butter and jelly: perfect, satisfying, and it goes down easy.

They are both incredible artists, and there is no need to trash Carrie every chance you get.

Carrie sounds amazing, great review! I disagree thgat she is allegedly sometimes over the top and overbearing, as you called her.. That is simply not true! Otherwise, I love your review. Carrie is incredible in this song, and always.

Why is there so much Carrie hate by some of the commentators here? She is amazing, and the best vocalist to come to Nashville in a long, long time.

An Elvis Presley Duet,
Who would have known? It actually seems to be a good album with some real talented artists. Many top notch entertainers share the stage with Elvis and ring in the Christmas Spirit. Of course I am a bit biased, I love this gal. I absolutely adore her rendition of “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”.
She adds an ultra-sweet sound to an old classic.
Great job Carrie. Another fine example of talented singing. It breaks my heart.

As money making marketing gimmicks I find these types of albums to be deplorable in concept if not execution. To maximize sales of course the geniuses that think up these projects tap currently popular Top 40 mainstream country artists hoping their dedicated fanboys and girls will buy in. While someone who adores current airhead country, like say Alison Bonaguro, would probably love this album I’d much rather get a piece of coal (Kathy Mattea style) than this contrived fluff in my Christma stocking.

Definitely start with ‘Christmas Peace’ or ‘If Every Day Were Like Christmas.’

Underwood singing with a posthumous King is like a fried peanut butter and crap sandwich.

It’s miles more listenable than the duet with Martina, but I wish Carrie would have matched a few more of Elvis’ vowels in the end when they sing together. That’s like my #1 duets pet peeve.

The duet is not bad. But I though the whole concept was mostly pretentious.
Also appears that the screeching diva syndrome that plagues most of the “inferior artists” on the album is (mostly) in remission for the album.
But, is there a cure?

I like it. Her understated voice on this song is actually one of the more “organic” sounding duets on this album. Was the whole thing necessary? Probobly not, but the whole idea is definetly not as bad as it could be.

“Why do we need edited-in duets with inferior artists?”

What a nasty thing to say about Elvis! LOL!
