Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The follow up to the original, this collection in many ways surpasses the initial effort. Duets seem to rule here, with Cyndi Lauper and Frank Sinatra double teaming on "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," while the irrepressible Ronnie Spector shares the mic with Darlene Love for a resplendent "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," and Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson give "Blue Christmas" a steamy and sizzling once-over. Vanessa Williams stops the disc, though, with her simple yet stunning rendition of "What Child Is This." The then-sign-of-the-times inclusion, Michael Bolton, offers a forgettable "White Christmas," but it's the only real clunker in the bunch. Always just a tad too country to make it as a cross-over artist, Randy Travis still makes "Jingle Bell Rock" his own in his smooth way. --Steve Gdula

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hope you had A Very Special Christmas.
This is my favorite of the series. Just the right combination of musical styles. Made the entire Christmas season enjoyable. It was a great hit at the parties, at home, and even in the car on those endless shopping trips.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classic songs by modern artists
This CD is great! I have always wanted to have Bon Jovi's version of "Please Come Home for Christmas", and I was pleasantly surprised with this album. I am an enthusiastic collector of Christmas music, and this album actually provided different versions of the classic songs, as well as some great originals.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A musical holiday extravaganza
I got this CD when it came out in 1992. This one tops the first CD with the red cover. 19 songs, most of which put you right in the holiday mood. My personal favorite tracks include:

Tom Petty - Christmas All Over Again
Luther Vandross - The Christmas Song
Frank Sinatra & Cyndi Lauper - S. Claus is Coming To Town
Darlene Love & Ronnie Spector - Rockin' Around the Xmas Tree
Vanessa Williams - What Child is This
Tevin Campbell - O Holy Night
Wilson Phillips - Silent Night

Most of the other tracks are okay. The last one by Sinead O'Connor is a bit unusual, but then so is she. Ironically, the year this CD came out, Sinead made headlines when she tore up a picture of the Pope on Saturday Night Live. I'm not sure if she ever recovered from that, publicity wise. But overall, a fantastic CD that I always listen to during the holidays. A MUST HAVE for your Christmas collection.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome!!
The music is just as good as I remember. Was in perfect condition as well! Very happy!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Terrific Modern Christmas CD
While I think both AVSC Cd's are pretty terrific, bringing old Christmas songs to whole new generations, I think this second volume is better performed , with a better selection. You just can't compare The Eurythnics singing Winter Wonderland to Luther Vandross's Christmas Song. And Ann and Nancy Wilson's version of Blue Christmas is now one of my favorites. Lot's of fantastic performances, puts me in the Christmas spirit every time I play it!!!
