1 | All's well that ends well | After waiting for months to get this album I was a little disappointed with the opening track "Invisible". It didn't sound like the Clay we have all come to know and love. The first few tracks sounded a bit "over-produced" and lacked the style that makes Clay special, but as the album progresses, so do the quality of t... | positive |
1 | Wonderful Debut! | After listening to the entire CD about 6 times, I am completely in love with each and every song! I have to admit that wasn't my initial feeling after the first listen, but these songs (and THAT VOICE) just grow on you. I can't get enough of it. My favorite is the title song.I agree that I'd love to hear Clay make a CD... | positive |
1 | Multi platinum CD!!!!! | I love every song on this CD. It's an exceptional change from the nasty, derogatory music being churned out by the cookie cutter pop stars. Clay Aiken breaks the mold and amazes the mold maker. He delivers to the heart. Each song touches you on a very human level. True to himself, this is Clay. | positive |
1 | His Angelic voice shines thru! | I HIGHLY recommend this album for ANY Clay Aiken fan! I have watched Clay from day one, when he entered that room with Simon, Randy and Paula, and declared himself the "American Idol". In my opinion, he IS the American Idol! I could not wait for this album to be released and I am NOT disappointed! The first three songs... | positive |
1 | CLAY IS THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO MUSIC | From the very first time that I heard Clay sing on AI2, I was in awe. I fell in love with him. I am drawn to him like a magnet. When this CD came out, I got it right away. In a few days I knew every song by heart. This is a great CD. Clay really shows what he has got and man does he got it. I recommend this CD to every... | positive |
1 | Go Clay Aiken!! | This album is awesome. It has something for everyone. Pop and a little R&B. Even though Clay did not win American Idol, he lost over Ruben Studdard. Hello! How could he have? He has more music selections and styles than Ruben ever did and besides, I like Ruben and I like his album "Soulful" but, Ruben, you can do bette... | positive |
1 | It's all based on what you like... | Personally, I find the reviews on this site to be Clay haters arguing with Clay fans, and vice versa. What I think needs to be done, is take a step back, and look at this CD in a different way.Do you like this CD? Obviously if you hate Clay, there's no way you're going to like this CD and that's that. If you love Clay,... | positive |
1 | Best Pop Album - Best Male Vocalist | Ignore the people who say that he should have sung more adult songs. These are ADULT songs. I appreciate the tone of the album. I'm glad that the CD is filled with new material. IT'S GREAT!!! I think the album has the ability to appeal to all ages if you have an open mind. It's not bubblegum music. IT'S THE REAL DEAL!T... | positive |
0 | DoNt BuY ThIs Cd | this cd got more credit then it should of........in other words this cd sux...when i watched american idol he was the worst person on the show....i was so glad he didn't win he has no talent.....but when he started making an album then i was even more disapointed because he didn't even win and he has more fame than Rub... | negative |
0 | The End of Music | The entire concept is just bad. I don't care how much this guy whines about his hard life, he's not deserving. He is wasting tons of record label space that could be occupied by true, creative, artists. The whole idea of a country picking the next big pop star from a TV show is just sad. It's a shame children will grow... | negative |
0 | OH NO CLAY | Yes, there is no question about Clay's talent. That's a given. However, this album just doesn't show it. His singles were fabulous and then they disappoint us with this album. You can't even tell where one song ends and the next begins. It's all the same stuff. C'mon now~give the man the songs that he is so capable of ... | negative |
0 | Disappointing and Drab | I'm a big American Idol fan so I bought this CD. But if you are not an obsessed die hard of Clay Aiken...you will be disappointed. I think he should accentuate the twang some more and go after a country audience. This CD was nothing but schmaltzy, drab, and mediocre. So don't listen to all the raves without realizing t... | negative |
0 | HAHAHAHAHAHAHA | I'm sorry if any of you teen enjoy this lispy southern high school reject like 'em but i think it's all crap...don't get me wrong, i appreciate all forms of music and clay does have an ok singing voice but his style belongs on broadway doing a musical...he would be the BEST Sandra Dee on Grease i'm sure...it's funny to... | negative |
0 | Broadway Clay | I still do not understand how this guy is getting more attention than the winner of AI, but that said, how can anyone listen to this CD and not think that he has a voice for Broadway and only Broadway. He punctuates every single syllable, lighten up Clay!The music on the CD is catchy, but the voice behind the music is ... | negative |
0 | WIMPY!! | Sorry Clay, I kept an open mind...but this CD is a corny, wimpy collection of out-dated pop. Clay should have stayed the red-haired, freckle-faced, 4-eyed christian singer that he once was. They have turned him into to a blonde, spiky haired howdy doody. My friends and I say......"CLAY NO WAY"!!!!! | negative |
0 | This cd proves why Ruben won | This cd is hurrendous. Ruben is SO much better. Want a good cd - check out soulful. | negative |
1 | Outstanding CD: Measure Of A Man by Clay Aiken | To me, nobody sings better than CLAY AIKEN. His voice is so entertaining and enjoyable. CLAY AIKEN can sing anything. This CD is my favorite CD that I have ever owned. Please buy it!!! | positive |
1 | To The Stars | I can't get enough of this CD. I play it every day, many times a day. I hear the next single will be "The Way" with "Solitaire" on the B-side, both perfect choices. Clay's voice gets more unbelievably beautiful every time I hear him. I was worried about this CD catering more to what passes for popular music today, but,... | positive |
1 | CLAY is FANTASTIC!!!! | What a GREAT cd!!! I love listening to Clay over and over and over again!! WOW!!! Great job!!!! Thank you so much for making this cd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | positive |
1 | Great for a first album | I love all the songs on the album and its a great first album. I feel the song "touch" is probably my favorite and then the next would be "The Way" and both would do very well on the charts if released as a single. Clay definitely does sound different than A I and in some aspects I miss that amazing vocal range he has ... | positive |
1 | The New Voice | Clay's debut cd is a fine first effort. However, it would have been a steller debut had more of the songs sounded a little more different from each other. At first listen it was hard to know when one ended and one started. Also, I was hoping for at least one roof shattering over-the-top showcase for that powerful voice... | positive |
1 | I enjoyed myself completely!!!! | I listen to this cd last night, and I have to say that I think its very good, especially for a first full CD. Mr. Aiken could sing my grocery list and I would be in heaven. Yes, there were a couple of songs which didn't immediately hit me, but with a couple of listens under my belt I enjoyed the heck out of this CD. I ... | positive |
1 | GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!!!! | Did I mention GREAT? Clay does such a wonderful job on this album!! I love it!!! All of the songs are so well sung, and the music is GREAT!!! I am so happy, I will be buying more for Christmas Presents for my friend and my kids teachers!! My 8 year old daughter loves Clay and she wants her own cd and poster!!!! Thank y... | positive |
1 | Don't skip over any of them!!! | I often buy Cds. In almost all cases I will skip over a few songs that don't appeal to me. This is the first cd in a very long time that I can actually say I like all of them. Even though this cd is considered all "pop" it has a continuity to it that doesn't happen very often. Each track is unique. There is an easy flo... | positive |
1 | This CD is AWESOME! | The first time I listened to this CD, I was a little disappointed because it wasn't really the same type of thing that Clay was doing on American Idol. I've listened to it non-stop despite this fact, and I have to admit it - I love it! There are some really cool songs. I love upbeat "Invisible." "No More Sad Songs" is ... | positive |
1 | This cd is awesome! | Forget those bad critics' reviews. This cd is awesome. It's trendy without being too overly-commercial. The songs are great, and for once it's nice to have a pop album out there that's not all about who's sleeping with who and all that stuff. The songs have some powerful meanings behind them and were well chosen. (For ... | positive |
1 | CLAY AIKEN IS AMERICA'S IDOL: IDOL FOUND...GAME OVER | Clay Aiken is indeed America's Idol, regardless of the outcome of the American Idol TV show. Everybody knows CLAY AIKEN actually won the competition, and his records sales, fan base, and popularity prove it. Clay Aiken is extremely talented and has proven that he is able to do a whole lot more in the entertainment indu... | positive |
1 | Clay is fantastic | I love all the songs on this album and that is saying a lot for me because I am very critical of much of the music that is out there these days. Clay sang his heart out on these songs and I especially liked The Way and I Will Carry You. I hope some of the other songs besides Invisible get some airplay. Love that Clay..... | positive |
1 | The best album ever | Clay Aiken and the team at RCA have outdone themselves with this album. It is the most enjoyable Pop album I have ever listened to. This music and Clays voice cover every good emotion one can think of. The arrangements are superb and Clay's voice --well I just can't find enough wonderful adjectives to describe how I fe... | positive |
1 | I LOVE THIS CD! | I love all of Clay Aiken's Music. I don't understand why he didn't win American Idol since he sold quicker than Ruben and I believe he made more sales too. I love his voice and it's magnificantly captivating from the first word of every song. I'm trying out for American Idol this year and hopefully I can live at least ... | positive |
1 | Amazing Voice, but kind of Generic | Don't get me wrong; Clay has an AMAZING voice. There's a reason this guy was #2 on American Idol. But his songwriters need a shot of creativity. His lyrics, though heartfelt I'm sure, are about the same generic topics that every pop star sings about: love and loss. These are generally great topics, but not when it's th... | positive |
1 | Absolutely Fantastic! | No skippers on this cd! I want to listen to every single song--each one is better than the next! This has got to be one of the best cd's I've heard in a very long time. I hope this is just the first of many cd's in my Clay Aiken collection. I'm very impressed. | positive |
1 | Im a Claymate! (not really, but i still love this CD) | Clay's CD went double platnum the first week- that really says something about it! I bought this CD the day it came out and i love it! Invisible is an awesome song.. and it is something different for Clay's voice. The Way is another one of my favorite songs... This is the Night is still one of the best songs on the CD ... | positive |
1 | Appeal to all audiences! | Besides being a very talented vocalist, Clay Aiken shows he is versatile and in-tune with today's music. This easy-on-the-ears music will make you get up and dance or reminisce with a smile on your face. I can honestly say there isn't a song I do not like, and this artist will be around for a long time to come. | positive |
1 | one of the best CDs of the year | This CD is the best! I purchased it today at a local store, and I have listened to it 4 times already. All the songs on this CD are awesome. Clay has the best voice that I have heard in a long time. I LOVE YOU CLAY!!!!!! | positive |
1 | Awesome Album! | This is an awesome debut album. Every song is better than the next. This CD is a must have! Order your CD today. Clay is bigger and better than American Idol. He is the new king of pop! | positive |
1 | Clay Aiken | When you're truly looking forward to a CD being released, you can build your hopes up so high that you feel let down when you finally hear it. My expectations for this album were not met - they were exceeded!! Every time I think my love and respect for Clay can't possibly grow any further, that's exactly what happens. ... | positive |
1 | Different. | Measure of a Man isn't a typical CD, in my opinion. Clay can sing very well, and strong background music isn't needed to cover up anything. The lyrics are clean, beautiful, and well-thought out. I think the CD is brilliant - a very nice change to the usual stuff that comes out. | positive |
1 | AN OUTSTANDING CD FROM START TO FINISH | WOW!! This cd is outstanding from start to finish! Every song is great! I can't even pick one song that i really don't care for. Good job Clay....your first cd is worth 5 STARS. Buy this today! | positive |
1 | Clay delivers! | Clay delivers on his Freshman CD. His voice, choice of songs, and his interpretation are all inspired. Anyone who would like a refreshing change from what is usually played on the radio today would be well advised to purchase this CD. Clay is currently appearing on several venues, including the World Series and the Ame... | positive |
1 | WOW | I've been flipping through the songs on Clay's CD that I just got. Wow~ I still can't get over his amazing voice. If you are thinking about getting this CD, DO IT~~! The lyrics are awesome and the whole CD is fantastic! | positive |
1 | The BEST! | I absolutely love Clay's new cd!!! It is a great mix of music...something for everyone...and Clay sounds GREAT! It's sure to be a best seller. Those of you who haven't listened to it and aren't fans, open your minds and give it a try. You will be pleasantly surprised and I bet you will really like it! | positive |
1 | Clay's the real winner!! | This is the first album I have truly enjoyed for many, many years. I loved every track. They gave me chills and tears! He is destined for greatness. Expect this album to top the charts for months and set all kinds of records!! | positive |
1 | Clay is awesome! | I will keep this short....Buy this cd then go out and buy the single with Clays version of Solitaire. Both this cd and the single are unbelievable!Happy listening. | positive |
1 | The Best Voice and CD ever | This CD is pure gold and I recommend this masterpiece and it soothes the ear and soul. It's the best CD ever and he should have won the competetion. If you don't like him you will because this CD will make a fan out of anyone, this artist should winn so many Grammys and I hope he does. | positive |
1 | Loved It! | I have looked at quite a few of the reviews posted here. I bought this CD and have thoroughly enjoyed it. It is so refreshing to hear someone actually singing a tune instead of screaming, rythmic talking or hurling obscenities. I have a very varied taste in music and appreciate, country, pop, classical and even quite a... | positive |
1 | Sensational! | This young man is the greatest voice to come along since Sinatra. For a first album . . . or for a fiftieth . . . this one has it all! Best of all the Idols and a great talent . . . he should become a mega-star! | positive |
1 | In regards to: "Clay's Claymates Attack" | Everyone could go round and round whether Clay Aiken's CD is worthy or not but it all comes down to ONE thing...we all have our own opinions on music and the types of music we choose to listen to. As for radio stations denying playing any of his songs....well, just one little tidbit to think about...there are some song... | positive |
1 | This guy measures up! | I bought this CD for my 12yr old daughter who is a big fan of Clay Aiken, and I have to say that I'm hooked as well! How refreshing it is to hear a performer that isn't a pig..., foul,violent, druggie or has sold out to the recording mecca's! Easily the best new artist I have heard in years,Clay's "Measure Of A Man" de... | positive |
1 | Clay Measures Up! | This CD is composed of 12 wonderful pop ballads, that exploit the breadth and depth of Clay Aiken's amazing vocal talent. From the opening song, "Invisible", to the pop-country tune, "The Way", the Beatle-esque "Shine", "This is The Night", and the final song, "Touch" (suprisingly, a Justin Timberlake-style song which ... | positive |
1 | AMAZON.COM IS BEING UTTERLY IRRESPONSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! | I don't understand how Amazon.com can allow "reviews" with vulgarities and obvious intentions to slam the artist rather than reviewing the cd, to be posted. Is this how Amazon.com wants to be portrayed? Trashy because it allows trashy "reviews" to be posted. This is outright irresponsibility especially when children ma... | positive |
1 | Very strong debut from the man with that powerful voice | Finally, after over a decade of lackluster singers, Clay Aiken has arrived! His debut album, Measure of a Man, is unarguably one of the best albums of 2003. This album does not disappoint from the opening song to the last. Clay delivers every song to near perfection. His powerful instrument, his voice, resonates throug... | positive |
1 | Measure of a Man by Clay Aiken | This album is all we have been waiting for and can be listened to by all. I bought enough to give for gifts and didn't even wait for giving them out, just had to let everyone hear them NOW. All the ages, from pre-teen up to this older lady love this man, Clay Aiken and his high ideals show through. We appreciate as fan... | positive |
1 | What a talented man! | This is an excellent album and the music has surpassed my expectations of Clay Aiken. He gives out his heart and soul in each one the songs. This is one album that can put a smile on my face and it gives me joy. It is fun and spirit lifting to listen to this album, "Measure Of A Man." "Invisible" is my favorite with ma... | positive |
1 | One More Comment | I have already rated and reviewed this album...........the best one of 2003!! But I have one more comment to make to the person that said great singers are only those who write their own music and lyrics. Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley............shall I go on?! They didn't write hardly any of their music.... | positive |
1 | Incredible | This CD is undoubtedly the most impressive CD I have heard in years. Aiken truly delivers on his debut album. A great mixture of ballads and Pop/Rock songs make this CD a must-have. Aiken's voice is crisp and clear, flawless and fresh. He certainly has proven he can sing anything given to him.It's great to finally have... | positive |
1 | Clay Aiken Rocks!!! | I LOVE his new album! I knew that there was no way he could disappoint with a voice as beautiful and as powerful as his! MY FAVORITE SONG IS "THE WAY"!!! I hope RCA makes this his new single! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE every song on this CD. I have never been so pleased with an album in my life. I totally respect Clay ... | positive |
1 | Bravo!! | Although I am not one to normally take the time to share my opinion on things like this, I would have to say I feel I wanted to add something to the list of rave reviews. I love this CD! Although I agree that I would have liked more than twelve songs, the songs included are wonderful! Sometimes with something new you a... | positive |
1 | BREATHTAKING | Clay and his songs have to be the best of the best that we have had in YEARS. I can even listen to music now with my children and grandchildren listening and don't feel ashamed. Clay Aiken is truly a breath of fresh air, a new lease on life and we all should be PROUD that finally, a true , non-tattoed, non woman chasin... | positive |
1 | STILL THE BEST | I have reviewed this album before and have not changed my mind at all - it is absolutely the best music out there. Clay has everything going for him. Eclectic - I and 8 other members of my family will join you in Glendale. | positive |
1 | Measure of a Man | Fabulous CD for first timer Clay Aiken. Incredible voice and music will appeal to all age crowd. Congratulations Clay.....you deserve the best!!! | positive |
1 | A Rising Star | You know that an artist is popular when he garners so many reviews from so many people that love and hate him but this guy is a rising star!It took a lot of guts to get up in front of a panel of judges to audition for American Idol and then even more guts to sing in front of Simon and the rest of America!This album con... | positive |
1 | A TRUE ARTIST CLAY AIKEN | I BOUGHT THIS ALBUM AS SOON AS IT HIT THE STORE AND AS SOON AS I LISTENED TO IT I LOVED EVERY TRACK. IM SICK OF LISTENING TO THE STUFF THE DISC JOCKS THINK ARE GOOD SINGERS. RAP AND THE YELLING AND CURSING FOR SHOCK VALUE TO SELL SOMETHING AND CALL IT TALENT. I LIKE ALL TYPES OF MUSIC AS LONG AS THE SINGING IS GOOD AND... | positive |
0 | DOESN'T MEASURE UP | This CD disappointed me. I was expecting more from Clay but I guess this is what happens when you rush your work. I hope his next one is better because this one sucked. | negative |
0 | Not even one star to be honest | This is just an album full of oversung sappy, cheesy lyrics. Horrible production from the AI machine. Where do they find these songwriters?And could Clay over enunciate a little more?Yes, he won't sing about sex, but he's singing about being invisible and watching someone in their room. <@@> Scary! | negative |
0 | Worst recording to come along | in a long time.This has got to be a joke. Please don't wasteyour money on this CD. It's not all what somereviewers on here are saying it is. They areobviously Clay's fans trying to convince the worldthat he has a golden voice. The guy can sing, butbelieve me so can a lot of people. He released thisthing too soon and sh... | negative |
0 | Absolute Rubbish | On behalf of Randy-Paula and the producers of american Idol I humbly apologize for besieging America with this crap. | negative |
0 | Invisible is the only worthy song | This CD is just full of rockish country same old stuff. I really do not think clay makes a good pop star at all and this CD proves it. | negative |
0 | Disaster | It's easy, there're only a few possibilities why you like this album:1. You're a little gal in your early teens, and u think he's, well, cute.2. You know zilch about music. You're trying to be a victim of the mushrooming commercial music that I'm so sick of.Did u ever feel a rush of blood oozing to your heart. NO? Then... | negative |
0 | I'll tell you why he's bad! | Clay Aiken... why is he so big? Answer: he was on American idol. Did he win? Answer: No! Then why is he bigger than Ruben? Answer: it's a miracle! Number one, you have to admit, he looks sort of like a clown. Two, even his feet are huge! They look like a joke. But, I realize that this has nothing to do with his singing... | negative |
0 | UH OH | UH OH CLAYMATES!!! Clay's album has fallen out of the top twenty sellers on Amazon.com!!! Quick, better buy ten more copies to get him back up there! Because we all know you can judge the greatness of a record by how many copies get sold. (NOT!) | negative |
1 | FANTASTIC!!!!!! | I love every single song on this album...he sings with such emotion and power. I haven't heard a voice like his in my whole life! | positive |
0 | I was a Clay Fan | I was a Clay Fan until I hear this karoake music. This album does not take any chances with this self imposed pop idol. Hecame in second and now I can see why. | negative |
0 | Simply bad music | Clay Aiken has talent does he? I've got an idea... maybe he could put his talent to good use and make real, interesting music. Sounds good to me; I don't know about you. Oh well, just another failure in popular music today. I guess there's nothing to be done. | negative |
0 | Very disappointing | I really hoped this would be fabulous, but it just isn't. All the songs sound the same. Same tempo, same back ground and back-up. RCA or whoever told Clay to sing all the same type of songs was way off base. When done live, one song only, then Clay does come through as we know him. Where is "Unchained Melody"? One of t... | negative |
0 | Sorry, but... | The measure of a man is more than three inches!!This is manufactured pop music. It has no soul. It was put together by a studio to be sold to the masses... It was purposely designed to be offensive to no one, therefore it was put in a box. Did Clay write these songs? They all follow the same pop music formula... Amateu... | negative |
0 | Lepo..... | In Hawaiian, this means Dirty, dirt, or filth, I think this word best describes this album. I bought this album thinking I would hear a wonderful singer and voice, but the only thing I can say is that screaming monkeys at the zoo sound better. All of his songs sound the same, kind of like a broken record. "Invisible" a... | negative |
0 | Too syrupy | Reminds me of buble gum pop too much. I hate it. It was one ofthe worse cds ever. I am gonna sell it and get my money back. | negative |
0 | Only Enjoy hearing him on TV | I really like clay Aiken but I found this CD "Measure of a Man" very boring. I was quite disapointed with some of the songs and the album in general. I enjoy watching and listening to Clay on the TV. I also think he is a very sweet man and I like his singing just not this CD. | negative |
0 | clay hot man | Dear Mr.Clay,You CD is a great CD. You voice is plesant to here. You very talentd singer. You hot man and not fat like the Rubin dude. I wish you look and hope make another grate CD soon. You win all Garmmys. Bye bye. | negative |
0 | What have they done to this poor man? | The first time I saw Clay on American Idol, in his audition, I said to myself "theres the winner". The first time I listened to Clay's album, I said to myself "theres a winner who has been turned into a junky commercialized pop-culture phenomena, exploited with traditional sappy songs that were handed to him by writers... | negative |
1 | The best CD in years | I have read all the reviews, but did not write until I read Jaan's review. All I can say to the so called music critics and Jaan, GET OVER IT, Clay is here to stay. It was very obvious from Jaan's review that he/she is a fan of ?????? and someone wants to hurt sales of Clay's upcoming new release.Measure of a Man is wo... | positive |
0 | depressing, clay should rethink his songs | my wife and I bought this cd over the weekend and the one word that comes to mind is depressing. It has none of the great tunes I expected from the likes of clay. he was always known for his use of ballads, but come one, how many songs does one need about losing your love or making it on your own without you....blah bl... | negative |
0 | Bland pop crossed with Broadway wannabe | While I love a few tracks on this CD and admire the writers and producers involved (Darren Hayes, Desmond Child, Cathy Dennis, Danielle Brisbois, Aldo Nova), almost every song sounds the same. And Clay has this annoying habit of "finishing" each and every song as if it were performed live. Maybe it's just me but I kind... | negative |
0 | Very Disappointed | I just purchased the new Clay Aiken CD and I don't think I have ever been more disappointed in my life. I feel like this man's beautiful voice is no where even near 10% of what it is capable of on this album. Most of the songs don't even sound like him. I have waited for this to come out because his voice sends goosebu... | negative |
1 | Vocal Excellence | "Measure Of A Man" is an unbelievably good CD. Clay continues to prove that no matter what song he sings he makes it sound great.This Album is a perfect twelve for twelve with all twelve recordings on the CD being excellent.If you are a fan of great music and vocals you will want to get a copy of this superb CD!!!!!!!!... | positive |
1 | an enjoyable pop album | In all honesty I'm not a fan of the whole American Idol thing, but I did get sucked into AI2 just a bit. Yea for Clay! Moving on.This is strictly a pop album. No earth shattering lyrics, but plenty of catchy tunes and choruses. Clay does a wonderful job of singing this material. In a way Clay reminds me of Rick Ashley ... | positive |
1 | As expected | Not sure what all the negative responses are about. Are you listening to the same CD that I am? This CD is awesome. There isn't a track that I don't love. If folks wanted to hear remakes of old songs, then they need to buy the American Idol CD. Clay outdid himself with this CD and I look forward to the next one. Now wa... | positive |
0 | Hun, Clay is sooooo lame | Hun, the CD is nothing special. It is not an essential CD like the Beatles, Supremes, or Aretha. He will be a one CD hit wonder huns. | negative |
0 | a singer who knows music | I thought I would give my ear to the sample cuts from this cd of Mr.Clay Aiken and I must say that I am so glad that I did not go and waste my money on the total cd. Clay, darling, the cd is bad. Do not believe the 5 star reviews that you have recieved. These people don't actually know music and they are not being sinc... | negative |
0 | Tedious debut | Silly, syrupy lyrics throughout and, surprisingly, the vocals are completely uninspired. This can't be what Aiken wanted. | negative |
0 | Not a pop singer | Ditto ats27. Clay's voice is indeed beautiful, and he has magnificent range for lead vocals in a broadway musical, or for easy listening. Tone him down, he is not a pop singer. Stop trying to make him something that he is not. Clay, Harry Connick Jr. did a magnificent job just being himself, and so will you. That is, o... | negative |
0 | What did they do to him??? | After listening to the first few songs of the album I've been waiting months for, I had to look and make sure I picked-up the right one. It doesn't even sound like him, which is ironic since most of his audience liked him for the way he sounds!!! The songs could use some help, but at least they used songs by serious so... | negative |
0 | Big let down | I expected better from Clay. This CD is just an example of Clay not being Clay. Why change? You have a great broadway, caberet voice Clay. Stop screaming and please step away from the pop music. It just isn't you! | negative |
0 | What a shame! What a waste! What sabotage! | This CD is a spectacular disappointment. Clay has a huge, pure voice, and this CD works hard to cancel it out. Overproduced and underbalanced, every song is marred by a pervasive, tinny whitenoise, as if the drummer was told to keep the cymbals hissing through every song. This fuzzes up Clay's pure, clear tone, and can... | negative |
0 | How embarrassing. | I have never bought a worse record. (And I have about six or seven hundred in all.) His voice has been produced out and the songs are as unmemorable as they come. Absolutely horrible.Whoever is handling his career - which must be over after this fiasco - has taken a perfectly decent singer and turned him into muzakChri... | negative |
0 | Not a Good Measure | I will prepare myself to face the wrath of other Clay fans, but I think this CD is a disappointment.Clay's voice has been watered down on most of the tracks (about 3 of them sound something "like" Clay).
