Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Five volumes in 14 years would probably qualify these all-star benefit albums (Special Olympics) as a holiday tradition by now, even if all five have been hit-and-miss affairs. Still, the 2001 edition has a few more highlights than a quick glance at its offerings might indicate. Jon Bon Jovi tries to imitate Elvis on 'Blue Christmas,' and Darlene Love--surely as important a voice in the genre as Bing Crosby--falls short in her attempt to recreate her superior 1963 Phil Spector version of 'White Christmas.' Genuinely cool, though, are Macy Gray's jazzy 'This Christmas,' Eve 6's pop-metallic 'Noel! Noel!,' City High's hip-hop Christmas hybrid, and SR71's goofy take on Billy Squier's already goofy 'Time to Say I Love You.' Things get downright steamy--and Santa-sized--when John Popper meets up with B.B. King for the bluesy 'Back Door Santa.' --Bill Holdship Average Rating:
 Rating:  - excellantI ordered this at the last minute for a Christmas gift and it came in plenty of time and in great shape! thanks so much!

Rating:  - Good Christmas CDThis, like all of the 'Very Special' Christmas albums, offers a very fun alternative to the typical christmas song. This one definately favors modern rock, so if you're looking for Nat King Cole, break out your 45's and get out of here. Rating: - intelligent 30 somethingNo this isn't the greatest CD ever made, but there are many really excellent tracks performed by some of my favorite artists. If you are a fan of Natalie Merchant than this CD is a must have. That track alone is worth buying the whole disc. The rock version of the Chipmunk Song is also very cool. The rest of the CD is fun and enjoyable. I guess you must be young enough to enjoy the newer artists. I have the classic christmas artists versions as well, so it is nice to mix it up a bit.
