Although it was not truly a holiday showing it showcased the great vocal talents of the first three American Idols. The singing the harmonies the musicianship was outstanding and touching. The grouping of the three idols with different styles still made for truly enjoyable viewing. Kelly Clarkson shows her single style as well as her ability to sing the r&b style of Ruben and Fantasia. Ruben leads things towards a powerful and strong vocal trend by singing his great single I Need an Angel. Fantasia fresh off her American Idol win is amazing with heart soul and gospel tinged singing.I found the band and musicians and the backing choirs to be some of the best sounds on TV in recent years.
