Query: WOW - I spent $15 on this?

I purchased this CD expecting a modern interpretation of classic Christmas songs. Unfortunately, the CD falls flat. The best way to describe the music is "Lounge singers performing in an ABC Christmas special". An example is "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" by Bethany Dillon. It sounds as if a Marilyn Monroe impressionist is performing the song. And when you think it can not get any worse, David Crowder sings "Feliz Navidad", a rendition that is so bad it deserves to be on Saturday Night Live as a comedy sketch.Not every song is a flop. "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" by Third Day is a surprising standout. It is creative, innovative, and offers a modern sound to a traditional hymn. The Natalie Grant interpretation of "Joy to the Word" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" by Rebbecca St. James also deserve honorable mention.But the other 27 songs could be used by the US military to torture enemy combatants.
