WOW! YAY! This is going to fantastic! I heard one of the songs on this album from a compilation CD I bought at Target by NBC and I was blown away! The beauty of it actually made me cry and I am not a crying kind of person. I'm rushing to by this one!

After hearing "Mary did you know" off this new Christmas Album, I can hardly wait for the album to come out. He has the most amazing voice I have ever heard.

It's like a dream come true to anticipate a Christmas album from Clay Aiken. His beautiful voice singing classic Christmas music will be something I'll treasure for years to come.

Listening to Clay sing " Mary Did You Know?" was like listening to an angel sing from the heavens! His voice is that "angelic"; he is truly gifted, a voice that comes around once in a decade. Thank you Lord for this gift that You have bestowed on us. This Christmas CD is one that will be enjoyed for seasons to come I'm certain!

I am so psyched about this CD... I've been looking forward to another Clay CD since his first came out - this is going to be amazing!

I was able to hear snippets of "Mary Did You Know". *Thud* If every song is as HALF as good as MDYK, this CD will just be the epitome of Christmas music.

I cannot wait for this C'mas CD. From what I've heard so far, it will be magnificent! What a voice this guy has! The day will come when we will say, "What would C'mas be like without Clay's music!"

Having heard Mary Did You Know confirmed what I already knew. This guy has a great voice that sings most anything really well. I watched the Christmas show last year and thought he did a really good job on there as well. My girlfriend really loved the song he sang on there and is hoping it will be on this CD. We are definitely looking forward to it for ourselves and as Christmas gifts for the rest of the family. They have also been extremely taken with his voice.

We are so happy Clay is doing a Christmas Cd. His voice is just so wonderful. He has a way of going deeper into your soul with each new song we hear. Amazing, just an amazing voice, but we can not forget what a beautiful, wonderful, caring, humble, and giving person he is. It is a nice change from the cookie-cutter of the other singers. Clay made his plans, but he gave God the eraser to change it. We are glad he listened.

Cannot wait for this album!!! I've heard one track - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? - & snippets of several others - & it is all any of Clay's fans could imagine! Recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, produced by a Grammy-winner, this is going to be one classy holiday treat that everyone will be listening to for yrs to come! When I saw how wonderfully he hosted & performed on the American Idol Christmas show last yr, my first thought was that by this time next yr, Clay will have his own Christmas special - & thanks to NBC it is happening!!! This will make a terrific gift for everyone on your holiday list! And I get to see him live with an orchestra, too!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!

A year ago, Clay had recorded "The First Noel" on the American Idol Compilation Christmas Album. Ever since I first heard that I have been wishing for a full album of these beautiful and heartwarming Christmas songs from Clay. This year, we not only have been gifted with "Merry Christmas With Love", but a holiday TV special on NBC, and a five-week tour with a symphony orchestra presenting this glorious music. What a magnificent Christmas we will have. Thank you, Clay.

Clay Aiken has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. This album will be an absolute treasure. I still listen to "The First Noel", which he recorded last year, all year long. It takes my breath away. I can't wait for this CD.

If you love Christmas music, you will love this CD. After hearing Clay sing many Christmas songs, including "Mary Did You Know" which is on the CD, I can't wait. His beautiful voice and strong faith will make this CD into a classic.

This is going to be one GREAT Christmas Cd!!!I bought the NBC Sounds Of The Seasons at Target just for this one song. Mary Did You Know is so beautiful! It touches my soul,and brought tears to my eyes.I cannot wait to see the NBC Clay Christmas Special or to see him sing the CD live in Cleveland on Dec.21st. I already have bought my tickets. This is the best Christmas gift Clay could have given his fans. Thank You Clay!!!!!! Now I have to go listen to it again! It's just totally beautiful, Haunting and touches my Soul.

I cannot imagine a better thing to have. I heard Mary Did You Know and my heart swelled. To hear Clay sing is the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, but not sure how my heart can take Clay singing about my Savior. I go see him live in December (my 3rd time). He is wonderful, awesome, amazing period, but if u can imagine it, he is even better in person.
Clay, thank you for all that you have given to your fans and the rest of the world helping children.

Clay's rendering of MDYK is breathtaking - his voice is pure - his talent amazing. I wanted a Christmas album the moment I heard his "duet" with Bing Crosby - I was disappointed that it wasn't included in the album, but will just have to listen to the download on my computer. In the meantime I've preordered 5 copies of the Christmas cd - everyone on my list will be getting one - and I think they'll be lucky indeed! I expect them to finally understand what it is I see in this young man. It'll be about time too.

Love when Christmas comes early and this year it is starting on Nov. 16th - I;ve heard MDYK a ton of times and love it just as much as I did the first time I heard it - I can;t imagine how much I;m going to love Clays voice singing O Holy Night - I know I will end up in tears and it will be worth every one of them

I Can't Wait for CLAY'S CD to come out in stores so I can be one of the First in line to buy His CD. I am sure it Will Be A Wonderful CD with Clay's Beautiful Pure Voice coming out of it. I Love You Clay and keep up the Great Work! I Can't Wait to get Your book as well the same day. I am Excited and looking forward to Clay's Joyful Noise Tour coming up with an Orchestra. That will be FUN!

I am so excited to hear all of Clay's Christmas CD. I bought "NBC Sounds of the Season" when I heard Clay had a song on it. The song was "Mary Did You Know". When I heard it the first time it brought tears to my eyes and chills throughout my body. I have listened to it on repeat for days and am still getting chills. What a voice!!! This Christmas CD will be a classic and will spread Christmas love throughout the holiday season for generations to come. Thank you Clay. Don't forget next year to make another one with more Christmas songs. We have to hear you sing them ALL!!!

Thank you, Clay, for this Christmas CD, Merry Christmas With Love. I have never heard the song Mary Did You Know and it brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard him sing it. He has a grammy winner producer for this album who knows how to capture the amazing quality of his voice. I can't wait.

Today I heard Clay Aiken sing one of the songs on his up-coming Christmas Album. I foundthis at Target (here he sings MARY DID YOU KNOW on the third tract of a special DVD put out by Target) NBC Music for the Holifays. Mary DID YOU KNOW is one of the most beautiful and gently/loving Performances I have ever heard. When this album comes out I know RADIO PLAY will be bombarded by fans and listeners alike. There will be no getting the "dodgeing" (from the station to play it). Fans and listeners will demand it, However, if you decide not to play it (even with the overwhelming requests). I would ask that you just play it for yourselves. YES, it's that good.
