Jessie J "This Christmas Day"

I would be remiss to neglect acknowledging the talent Jessie J possesses before I briefly review her Christmas Album. Her voice can tango with some of the best vocalists around, and inadvertently pays tribute or leads me to recall the stylings of Whitney Houston, Ella Fitzgerald, and even Aretha, but to be Franklin: the name pops in my head, but there was not a performance that reminded me of her.
She can also be quite creative in the studio, but on this album she plays it safe. We have the swingin' sounds, timeless, to lift up your spirit in time for the holidays, but you cannot help but hear de ja vu, only because you may have heard this a numerous amount of times by a plethora of artists. I will say that there are a few songs that stand out: her eponymous original, and "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer/Jingle Bells" medley; the second half of the latter is the more creative half, but the ode to that red-nosed hero serves as a pleasant balance between honoring the canon, and shifting the course before it travels farther toward favor than expected.
