Music Review

Pop sensation Justin Bieber has released his first Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe," just in time for the holiday season. The album features Bieber's take on Christmas classics such as "Silent Night" and "The Christmas Song" (featuring Usher) sprinkled among a few original songs entitled "Christmas Eve," "Mistletoe" and "Drummer Boy" (featuring Busta Rhymes).
Before listening to this Christmas album, I was definitely a hater of the Biebs. But after experiencing the magic Justin Bieber brings to the holiday table with his sultry yet heart-felt Christmas album, I will admit that I am a head-over-heels Belieber. Bieber's versatility as an artist truly shines throughout this album, from his rap about impoverished families in "Drummer Boy" to his innocent crooning in the Christmas classic "Silent Night."
My favorite track on the album - a song that I honestly listen to about three times a day in preparation for Christmas - is "Christmas Eve." Bieber's voice, which has taken very kindly to age, literally seduces the listener while still making them excited for all kinds of holiday cheer.
This album is a must-have in any collection of holiday music.
