Confession of a shopping diva

SAN JUAN - Humble, exact, brief and imposingly beautiful; that's Gloria Gaynor, one of the most famous voices and probably one of the first big divas of music.

With a gorgeous winter season repertoire taken from her 2008 successful album "Gloria Gaynor's Christmas Presence", including famous themes such as: "O Holy Night", "Christmas Prayer" or "Frosty the Snowman", the singer celebrated in her very unique way which is -as she confessed- her favorite season of the year.

"It's a big pleasure for me to be once again here in Puerto Rico. I love to sing Christmas songs, those themes raise my spirit and make me very happy", commented the diva.
