American Idol Christmas: Paris Bennett "A Royal Christmas"
If you are looking for a more urban/R&B holiday album, you might like Paris Bennett’s A Royal Christmas.
Mind you, there are tracks that diverge from Paris’ style such as "12 Days of Christmas" (which is more of a throwback to the sounds of yesteryear) and "Away in a Manager" (has a real jazz influence to me). There are some originals too so, if you enjoyed Paris on the fifth season of American Idol, you might really enjoy this!
Here is the track listing:
- It’s Christmas Time
- 12 Day Of Christmas
- Away in a Manger
- Deck the Halls
- God Rest Ye Merry
- Holiday Shuffle
- Lil’ Drummer Boy
- Not Alone This Christmas
- Silent Night
- Auld Lang Syne

Paris is back on the right track with this Christmas album. Vocally, she does very well on this album and that is especially shown in tracks like: Deck the Halls, Little Drummer Boy, Holiday Shuffle, and Silent Night. The jazz influence is a nice touch to this piece which gives the album a fresh and spirited vibe. I highly recommend for jazz and rnb lovers.
