Mind you, there are tracks that diverge from Paris’ style such as "12 Days of Christmas" (which is more of a throwback to the sounds of yesteryear) and "Away in a Manager" (has a real jazz influence to me).  There are some originals too so, if you enjoyed Paris on the fifth season of American Idol, you might really enjoy this!

Here is the track listing:

• It’s Christmas Time
• 12 Day Of Christmas
• Away in a Manger
• Deck the Halls
• God Rest Ye Merry
• Holiday Shuffle
• Lil’ Drummer Boy
• Not Alone This Christmas
• Silent Night
• Auld Lang Syne

American Idol season 5 contestant Paris Bennett has debuted on the Billboard charts. She’s #1 on the Top Heatseekers chart with her first album, “Princess P.” Paris is the 27th “Idol” singer to appear on the Billboard charts, and by capturing pole position, she gives the franchise its 122nd No. 1, counting all national, domestic charts compiled by the Billboard Information Group. The album is also on the Billboard 200 (#133) and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (#47).

“Bennett’s chart debut means that the season five contestants have now tied the finalists from season three for having the highest number of chart-worthy singers. Seasons three and five have both produced seven contestants who have charted in Billboard. The top seven finalists from season three have all charted, and the top six from season five, plus the contestant who came in eighth.”

Wow. I really liked Paris Bennett and was sad when she was voted off last season. At just 17 she seemed mature, innovative, versatile and talented. Now she just seems like a vengeful betch! She phoned into a Minneapolis radio show and said that she and some other contestants (likely other Idol “losers”) support the website VotefortheWorst.com in hopes of messing up the results. She added that they “want to see [Sanjaya] win because it’ll kind of prove that American Idol is kind of losing its taste” since “it kinda isn’t going for talent anymore and more for popularity” (wow, how articulate – she didn’t sound like an immature teenager at all. Note, this is not a dig at the many teens who can be amazingly articulate and bright).

Why are you doing this? Because you, uh, kinda, um, didn’t, um, kind of win? Wake up, Paris. VotefortheWorst.com has been around for a while and when people like you decide to do what some lame website tells you, it is you who are influencing votes – not the contestants, nor the real viewers. You had your 15 minutes already – your time’s up so move on…

Click to listen to her ridiculous call into the “Tone E Fly Morning Show.” Warning – listening to it may actually decrease your intelligence.
