About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Whitney Houston delivered One Wish: The Holiday Album, her first Christmas record, a year after her 2002 comeback, Just Whitney. If it seemed like that record played it safe, that's nothing compared to One Wish, which is the straightest adult contemporary record Houston had released in years. Of course, holiday records are the last place anybody would want to take a risk, since they're designed to be nice, pleasant mood music and this suits the bill nicely. The clean, pristine production, heavy on synths, sounds as if it was cut in the late '80s, yet it's also strangely spare, often being no more than a synth and a drum machine. Still, it's a sound that's well suited for Whitney and her thoroughly predictable set of material (the title track is the only new song, then the final two songs are recycled from the soundtrack of The Preacher's Wife). Ultimately, One Wish is the kind of album that may only appeal to a fan of Whitney who has already yearned for her holiday album, but for those fans, it will be satisfactory.

December 03, 2006: Whitney hits some strong notes on this album! O Holy Night is a standout, with a very beautiful neo-operatic style and classic arrangement Little Drummer Boy is great fun and charming she gets funky on Deck the Halls and her older classics from Preacher's Wife sound great and inspirational! A must have for any serious collector of x-mas music!

December 03, 2004: Ever since I first heard Whitney, she was my favorite singer. If this album was the first Whitney I heard, I would not have gotten every album of hers that I could.
