"I am among those who wasn't thrilled with Paris' debut album. Since I love X-mas music, and at one time really liked Paris, I decided to get this one too. Generally I like X-mas music best traditional style, but here and there I hear another arrangement of something that I can enjoy just as much. So, Lil' Drummer Boy was surprisingly my favorite, what a fun arrangement! My other fave is Holiday Shuffle! Nice work, I dig this X-mas album!"
This is how Paris should sound.

"I don't know what they were thinking with Paris' debut CD, but THIS IS THE TYPE OF MUSIC PARIS SHOULD MAKE! Her version of 12 Days of Christmas is my favorite NEW Christmas song of the year and my favorite version of the 12 Days of Christmas. If her new CD (next year) will have sound like this, I'm all for it."

"I was looking for holiday music---new and old---to add to my collection. After searching Amazon for ideas, I came across this page and figured I'd just experiment (there were only two reviews). I'm not an American Idol follower, so that was the first time I recall paying any attention to the name Paris Bennett. Well, I put it in for a preview listen yesterday and have pretty much been playing it since.
I LOVE this project...and it was instant! It is so much fun to listen to!! I truly enjoyed the entire album. There were more traditional renditions of holiday classics: Silent Night, Away in a Manger, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and Auld Lang Syne. But Paris got some vocal play time in as well with 12 Days of Christmas, Deck the Halls, Lil Drummer Boy, and Holiday Shuffle. LOVED it from start to end. And props to her mom who co-produced and sang backup for this project...good for you!
Get it!! I think it'll be relevant work for many years to come."
Best Cd out there to get you in the holiday spirit.

"Paris Bennett is back, and this time, shes aiming to please her fans. "A Royal Christmas" is just the album her fans were waiting for. It combines chrismtas song and her jazz style - which leaves you wanting more! I highly recommend this album for anyone who wants to get in the holiday spirit, and enjoy wonderful music at the same time."
