I'm Glad It's Christmas

As a professional musician, I am horrified that this woman (Jessica Lowndes) is called a singer. Simply listen to her duet of Deck the Halls with Paul Greene and you know she is not. She cannot match pitch and maintain a key from one phrase to the next. Maybe this was because of multiple takes? If so, why was there no consistent key established? Shame on the music production team for allowing something so painfully out of tune to make it to the final version. Maybe they can't hear pitch either. My musician husband and I rewound the scene about five times with our jaws on the floor. Have never heard such an unprofessional final musical product in a movie, except where the singer was SUPPOSED to be awful, like Florence Foster Jenkins. And then came Joy to The World, which wasn't. Sad to build an entire movie plot around this woman singing, when she cannot. I scored as high as four stars only because Gladys Knight and Paul Greene CAN sing.

I'm Glad It's Christmas- was so enjoyable to watch & to have all 3 leads sing and sing together was fantastic!

This was not a typical Christmas cookie cutter Christmas movie! Don't understand the negative reviews? Please spread love not hate, especially during Christmas. The movie featured all new original songs. Beautiful voices and top acting from Gladys, Paul & Jessica. The chemistry between Paul Greene & Jessica Lowndes was pretty amazing. They were beyond adorable together. And how lucky are we to have THE iconic Gladys Knight in a holiday movie?! Such a blessing & gift, please watch feel good this movie! Absolutely loved the all the singing and would love to see more beautiful moments like these in upcoming Christmas movies.

The leads have good chemistry. I don't notice much age difference , imo, they look less than 10 years apart. I feel , that the film is just a vehicle for Jessica Lowndes singing. Her singing is very standard, at best. The male lead actually had a better voice. I guess because he is a man , they don't seem to care about his singing. He seems to sing a lot better and with more power. At times, the female lead is shrill, and even off key I'm not sure why the whole movie is just to compliment some girl singer with a voice that's not all that outstanding. It did feel less contrived than most movies of this type. I do think too much hyperbole was used in regards to the singing female lead.

I enjoy the Hallmark/GAC movies that have the actors singing or are instrumental. However, I do need to rant. This movie and Harmony of the Heart ends with Jessica Lowndes singing with another person supposedly in a duet. Both Paul Greene and Jesse Metcalfe are excellent and talented musicians and singers in their own right so why does Jessica need to sing soo strongly and loudly to drown them out. Especially insulting is her overpowering Gladys Knight in the last scene. JL already sang earlier bits in the movie so we know she can sing but it is pretty annoying when all you can hear in a duet or trio is her belting out as loudly as she can. Does she not know softly and harmonizing. Could be lovely scenes like in Country at Heart with Jesse Schram and Niall Matter, JS and Lucas Bryant. 7 because the story is appealing and Paul Greene is a good actor. Too bad he is no longer on WCTH.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! I absolutely adore Paul Greene and will watch him in anything he stars in, when he smiles his whole face just lights up and such kindness shines out, he makes me feel good just looking at him.

I didn't realize what a great musician and singer he is until this movie. The rest of the cast were all so highly talented especially Jessica and her beautiful voice! I really enjoyed all the music and singing it was festive, beautiful and fun! Loved seeing the incomparable Gladys Knight, she looked and sound fantastic!

I really enjoyed the storyline, it's not the basic Christmas romance formula we've all seen on Hallmark, no this starts out with him letting the girl know upfront that he likes her and really would like to date her, she also feels the same but because she thinks she might be leaving and moving back home she doesn't immediately act on her feelings. They both grow to care about each other while putting together a Christmas concert. Jessica has a huge choice to make... what will she do?? I'm not saying but suffice it to say I think they all live happily ever after! (As they should!) Everything was so Christmassy looking that it put me in the mood to get up today and start decorating my own home for Christmas!

I really enjoyed the movie and will definitely watch it again.
