Just a Love Song... Christian Bautista Live!

Just a Love Song... Christian Bautista Live! is the first live album by Filipino singer Christian Bautista, released on January 24, 2007 in the Philippines by Warner Music Philippines. The album is composed of nineteen cover versions of songs from the 1970s up to the 1990s. It was recorded overnight at Teatrino, Greenhills, backed by basic rhythm section, a grand piano and a string section, while being watched by an audience composing of specially invited fans. It was released both in the Philippines and Indonesia on CD and DVD formats. To date, the album has been certified platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry.

A "Special Christmas Edition" of the album was released in October 2007, with a new track list. Five additional Christmas songs were included plus the standard edition of the album.

Background
Initially, Bautista refused to create a whole revival album, saying "I (Bautista) didn’t want to seem to be jumping on the bandwagon [...] it was time for me to offer something new at this point (for his fans)".

A brainstorming session was then made between him, his managers and his record label, after which the final list of tracks for the album was made.

Reception
Commercially, Just a Love Song... Christian Bautista Live! is the weakest-selling album by Bautista, though it still managed to reach platinum status by the PARI. On March 11, 2007, the album was given a gold record award on ASAP '07 for selling more than 15,000 units in the Philippines.

Critically, the album received favorable reviews. Resty Odon of Titik Pilipino gave the album four out of five stars, stating "In this live recording, he works on romantic tunes and tries earnestly to tug at the memory's heartstrings". However, he disliked the fourth song, "Beautiful in My Eyes", and thought it was out of Bautista's upper register range. The review ended up with Odon, saying " All in all, though, this is a memorable recording for this artist and especially his fans.
