Product Review

It's hard to fathom a 16-year-old singing with the presence that Jaci Velasquez has on Heavenly Place. Then again, she is no ordinary teenager. This 1996 debut by the gifted Christian-pop star landed numerous awards and was the fastest-selling solo debut in Christian-music history. It won't take long to figure out why when you hear "On My Knees," "Shelter," and "Un Lugar Celestial," which showcase Velasquez's voice as being mature beyond her years. There's a depth and richness that emanates from each carefully recorded track, thanks in large part to producer Mark Heimermann. The young Velasquez blends and transcends each aural backdrop provided. You want cool? Check out the mystical "Baptize Me," easily one of the best CCM tracks of 1996. --Michael Lyttle

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good cd by Jaci, May 3, 2000

Well, Jaci Velasquez is one who's voice you cannot comprehend. Even though Heavenly Place isn't as good as her next self titled album, you can't blame her. She was just getting started. Her voice is way beyond her years, and this cd proves it."If This World" Most of Jaci's songs you'll find ethier have a na na, doo do, or la la starting it or in it. Take for example "We Can make a Diffrence" and "Glory". Anyhow, this song had a good message. Pretty ok."Un Lugar Celestial(A Heavenly Place)" I love this song! I'll put it as #3. Her voice is great on it. Great title."Flower in the Rain" In the beginning of the song, it probebly sounds pretty dull. But amazily it turns into a pretty ballad. One of her great slow songs."On My Knees" This is #1. The musical background on this one is amazing. They shaped this song perfectly for Jaci."Shelter" Her duet with Chris Rodriguez on this...Read more

I read all of these reviews so I could decide which of her albums to get if any at all. It seemed like for every review that declared her first album best there was another vote for her second. Finally one review stated the difference that solidified my decision: "The first album was more acoustic." So I bought it. The cost of the CD is worth the knot-in-the-throat song "On My Knees." However, I happen to LOVE many of the other songs which are written with a spiritual depth and maturity, and sung with a crystal clear, powerful voice that could make anything sound good. "I Promise" is gorgeous and about saving yourself for marriage...'So I promise to be true to you, to live my life in purity, as unto you, waiting for the day when I hear you say here is the one I have created just for you.' Most of the songs on this CD have inspired melodies, where the next note is a surprise and so perfect that the musical arrangement seems like it has...Read more

Heavenly Place has been one of the most striking CD's ever. Her music conveys Gods love, mercy, and everlasting power. She has been an admirable guidance for our youth. Our youth group at Christian Tabernacle absolutely love her and her music. Her music has inspired me in a way I could not begin to describe. The lyrics of her songs touch my heart every time. Thank You Jaci for your devotion and love may God Bless you and your family.
