Album Review: Leona Lewis - Christmas With Love

UK X-Factor progeny Leona Lewis' festive offering wraps a mix of seasonal standards and originals. When the jingle bells ring and Motown hips swing (on One More Sleep and Wizzard cover I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday), Lewis is as fun as crackers with corny jokes. The serious ones (O Holy Night, Ave Maria) are as exciting as unwrapping a gift card, and Lewis sounds like she's simply trying to please granny, despite being in possession of one of the few X-talent show voices actually worthy of a successful career.
