CD Reviews
This Girl's Voice Cries out for mainstream success!

"I love Jaci Velasquez. I decided to buy this CD because I've heard of her from a tv commerical and heard her somewhere else I can't recall. I was not disappointed. Her music and voice is so incredible. I am either dancing to the tunes of Con tu amor, Manantial de Caricias, or Junto a mi, OR I am moved by the beatiful melodies of Un Lugar Celestial, Solo Tu, De Creer En Ti (the best) or Dentro esta tu voz (the second best). I am not a listener of Christian music but I'm a huge fan of great voices and positive messages. Jaci Velasquez emcompasses both. Her voice rivals the Mariahs, Celines, and Whitneys of the world. I would love to see her get mainstream noteriety but I'm sure most of you believe a lot of her appeal is that she is not a mainstream singer. Still how long can a girl with this kind of voice go unnoticed? I found her. She's a revelation. This is my second Spanish language album after Selena's Dreaming of you. Dare I say it - This girl is better than Selena! No disrespect to the tejano superstar. All I can say is YOU GO GIRL!"
BEAUTIFUL CD WITH BEAUTIFUL SONGS!

"I've been an avid Jaci Velasquez fan ever since her Heavenly Place CD and I think this CD by far is the best. Although it is in Spanish, its songs have a great message! Don't listen to the reviews with people putting her "secular album" down. I disagree with them. This CD is VERY inspirational with the meaning and hope of Christ tied into it. Everyone knows that if you want to share the message of Jesus Christ with others, you can't expect them to understand hardcore Christian music. You can only plant the seed. Jaci does a fantastic job with this, and you won't be sorry with buying this CD! Great new songs, some translated old ones. Her voice has matured so much! She sounds even more beautiful!"
Finally--Christian dance music in Spanish!

"I was delighted to find some Christian Spanish dance music--although there is great praise and worship in Spanish, there has been a shortage of danceable Christian music. Jaci does a wonderful job! And best of all, her pronunciation sounds native! In my opinion, this is by far Jaci's best album. I wish that there were more songs on the album like "Con tu amor," but the softer ones are nice, too. If you like Latin pop music but wish that the lyrics were less suggestive, this is the CD for you!"
New singer with great talent

"I heard the song "Llegar a ti" on the radio and really fell in love with it. It's MUCH better now that I have the cd. I thought I was only going to get one good song from this cd - but I was wrong. I hadn't heard of Jaci before, but when I heard some of the other songs on the cd, she quickly became a favorite for me. I've never been into Christian music, and I've never liked Salsa either, with Jaci's cd I enjoyed both categories. I haven't heard any of her english cds, but songs have more emotion, more feeling (Selena once said this also) in Spanish. I'm sure I will enjoy future releases from Jaci in Spanish. She's got great talent and I hope she continues to record in Spanish."
