Jaci Velasquez (born Jacquelyn Davette Velasquez on October 15, 1979) is an American Contemporary Christian and pop singer.
Velasquez released her first CD album in 1996, and five of the songs on that CD became #1 hits, the album was later certified Platinum.
Velasquez was given a chance in 2002 to act in her first Hollywood movie, Chasing Papi.

Previous Velasquez albums were driven by her sultry voice perfectly paired with classic ballads like “God So Loved” and "Adore".
Jaci’s signature voice is reduced to a grainy, strained whining that’s hard to listen to without wincing.
However, Jaci is trying to do things with her voice that it isn’t made to do.

 cMusicWeb.com: Beauty Has Grace
Velasquez was thrown into the market and rose high on the success of ballads like "On My Knees." Besides Rebecca St. James, Velasquez was one of the few teenage singers to make it big since the Amy Grant extravaganza.
Velasquez now boasts a successful Latin career, romance and marriage, acting experience, and a personal record label (ever heard of a 25-year-old CEO?) But not all is cherry pie in the sky for this girl-turned-woman.
Velasquez no longer sounds like a solo act; the music stands out enough to become "The Jaci Velasquez Band." This will probably never happen, and the instruments remain polished where her vocals do not, but these tracks are definitely more rock-driven with a tint of blues/jazz.

 AskMen.com - Jaci Velasquez
Velasquez does not have one outstanding feature; instead she has quite the package from her beautiful dark hair down to her long legs.
Aside from two Grammy nominations and a Billboard award, Velasquez boasted two simultaneous No.1 hits on both Latin and English charts: "Como se cura una herida" and "Adore." That's proof of her ability to cross over from her Spanish roots and appeal to all audiences with her catchy pop songs and powerful ballads.
Jaci Velasquez has proven since the release of her first independent album at the tender age of 14 that she is not some passing fad to be forgotten.

 Jaci Velasquez - BIO / ChristianMusic.com
Call it one of the hazards of life as a Christian musician, but Jaci Velasquez also seems as ready as ever to tackle the expectation of artistry as ministry and the confines of a somewhat scrutinized personal life which seems to come with the territory.
Velasquez recalls her stints on stage with her father and his travelling ministry and remembers with a hint of laughter that she actually was called on to preach to the audience as often as she was called to sing.
A new book written by Jaci throughout the whirlwind of her lack year releases in May. The book, entitled Heavenly Place, was yet another chance for Velasquez to share more than just music with her fans.

She is a confident woman who stands strong on her talent in the entertainment business and has fought through many obstacles of being a successful individual facing challenges in her professional and personal life.
Another collaborator on the album is Birmingham, England native Michael Clark who co-wrote with Jaci the first track on the album, "I'm Not Looking Down," and sang with her on the pop/rock worship song "Tonight," which explains the desire to live in a world free from chains and escaping daily into God's presence.

At home, Jaci started singing almost at the same time that she babbled her first words and, in front of an audience, when she took her first steps.
Jaci’s artistic capacity could not go by unnoticed in other parts of the world, and in 1998 the ground was laid for her crossover into the Latin market.
The moment could not be more opportune: Jaci has come to put a stop to the explosion of sensual images and aggressive lyrics that have taken over the medium in the last few years.

Velasquez even shows a gritty side on "Child of Mine" and "Show You Love," revealing a raw power beyond her more tempered efforts.
It seems like Jaci's trying to find her sound, her uniqueness, and we see flashes of it as well as "more of the same." "Crystal Clear" is the better CD.

Jaci Velasquez already has traveled a road decorated with Dove awards, record-breaking sales, and millions of fans.
But it's most interesting characteristic is the juxtaposition of the rousing instrumentation against Velasquez' sobering message to a younger woman, warning her to slow down and trust in God.
What Jaci needs, though, are some songs that will challenge her teen listeners (me included) to take a stand--songs that will address specific issues that we face today (and we all know there are plenty of them).

 Jaci Velasquez - a Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
Eager not to disappoint either club, Velasquez belts out Latin-flavored pop laced with Spanish lyrics, but carrying a Gospel message on the opener “Escuchame (Listen To Me).” She revisits the Latin-flavored sound on “You Don’t Miss A Thing,” but never quite gets the fully authentic Latin pop sound that was present on Llegar A Ti.
The real test of mettle will be the album where Velasquez really stretches her lyrical and musical limits and swings for the fence instead of going for the safe base run.
After winning over the AC Christian market with her Heavenly Places and Jaci Velasquez cd's and then making a hit in the Latin music market with her Legar a Ti disk, Velasquez combines the influences of both with eleven songs that are upbeat, joyful and make "crystal clear" the source of her joy.
