Sooner or later, it seems, all of these artists who appear on shows like The Voice get around to recording some Christmas music. And that's usually a good thing for everybody--especially as the fanbase these artists build from the TV show seem to love Christmas music (and good for them). Chris Jamison released his holiday EP, "A Classic Christmas", in 2017.
Now, me, I pretty much just listen to Christmas music so I don't really know what else he's done. But, from "A Classic Christmas", I'd say Chris is at his best when he's singing blue-eyed soul. I also think he sounds better with less accompaniment and "production" (see the video below and compare to the one above). For the most part, he's a Pop singer. And there are so many Pop singers these days. And when some of those Pop singers are named Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, and even David Archuleta or Justin Bieber, it's going to be hard for Chris to get noticed until he comes up with something that sets him apart. A song, a style, a sound, a genre even. Something that makes him different. Just my two cents. But the dude can sing. Make no mistake, he's got the pipes for success. He's got time, too. He's still just 24. And, then again, he's currently working on his first full-length album...and that could change everything.
