For me. This is one of the best Christmas albums out there. She has that voice for Christmas music. It would be great if she recorded another Christmas album of fun songs, not heard before come on baby we know you can do it

Thought this was stellar but thought she only did a few songs on this...maybe 3..
Maybe I remembering it wrong
But I love the three she does
Amazing grace is beautiful
This was the first and for me the very best of this concept. Diana’s charisma and star power on full display, finding Dionne and Natalie a bit of a let down.
I could be biased of course.
A truly wonderful performance, once Supreme, always Supreme!

This has to be a million times more satisfying for her or any artist than standing on stage pretending to be singing to a prerecording. This is putting yourself out there.
So beautiful, so poignant. What can be said but bravo!!
[ just those spectacular dangling earrings and with nothing more jewelry-wise is stunning]
For me, one simple word sums this up, class.Quote:

BUT that was 30 YEARS ago and she wasnt even 50 - you cannot expect this kind of performance from an artist approaching her 80th birthdayQuote:

I realise the age of the video Paul and naturally wouldn't expect that of Diana today. However, I think she is doing very well for someone approaching 80.Quote:

At age 80 Smokey loves sex ..... Its his entire focus on his latest GASMS CD. Unless he's a predator using his place of privilege to entertain himself with women born of younger generations, I presume he means with women of his own age.
And that' s fine ....have at it "kids".
Just thinking out loud
What other songs would you like to have included in this collection??
My choices
Your love
Missing you
Going back
This Christmas
My favorite things
He should be gasming and blowing to his heart’s contentQuote:

Looking at the set list, each singer had seven slots to perform [including duets and medleys with all three].Quote:

there’s no doubt one of the most beautiful Christmas albums out there my only wish she would record a fun Christmas album just like CH ER one we think should want this for her children or grandchildren you can do it. I know you can. Your voice is still wonderful and beautiful please no soppy slow songs your voice is beautiful on dance, and I could be beautiful on dance Christmas songs do it for us crazy fans that’s all we ask
Speaking of amazing Grace,https://www.krwg.org/2023-12-24/how-...race-turns-250
“He Lives In You” hadn’t been written let alone recorded by Diana in 92.Quote:

Also the force behind the power what a great spiritual song include home and 99 1/2 won’t do
