Taylor Hicks - Taylor Hicks
2007-03-27 01:19:00
The least you can say about Taylor Hicks is that he's not like prior American Idol champs: he already had almost a decade of gigging in bars when he won the fifth season in 2006, complete with songwriting experience, an ability to play harmonica and guitar, and a pair of self-released albums. On his major-label debut, the Silver Fox settles in a plush, comfortable sound framed by vintage-sounding soul and R&B, as well as classic rock--it's comfort food for the ears. The one thing that's not here is Hicks's first single, "Do I Make You Proud." Other than that, the songs are a well-balanced mix of oldies (Marvin Gaye's "Wherever I Lay My Hat"), newbies that sound like oldies (Rob Thomas's "Dream Myself Awake," Bryan Adams's "The Right Place"), the obligatory Diane Warren ballad ("Places I've Been"), and some party-fun anthems ("The Runaround," "Heaven Knows"). This last track actually is one of two paying tribute to Hicks's patron saint, Ray Charles--it references the piano r...

Kellie Pickler - Small Town Girl
2007-03-20 19:53:00
This debut album by the small-town girl with the big, powerhouse voice showcases two distinctly different sides of Kellie Pickler 's music. The hard-riffing uptempo material recalls the heartland rock of Bob Seger and John Mellencamp, with Pickler providing a good-ole-girl twang. Among the highlights are the emancipated strut of "Red High Heels," the playful humor of "Things That Never Cross a Man's Mind," and the tomboy bluesiness of "One of the Guys." Yet the American Idol finalist turns pure diva on the over-the-top balladry of the album's other half, with swelling strings and arrangements that overpower rather than enhance "I Wonder" and "I'm on My Way." On such cuts, producer Blake Chancey (Dixie Chicks) never gives Pickler a chance to show the subtlety and nuance that makes music more an art than a competition. - Reuben K.Songs on Album:1. Red High Heels2. Gotta Keep Moving3. Things That Never Cross A Man's Mind4. Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You5. I Wonder6. Small To...

Katharine McPhee - Katharine McPhee
2007-03-11 20:26:00
Katharine McPhee has a cloudless voice and a warm, wide-eyed Alice in Wonderland quality that won her swarms of fans on American Idol's fifth season--if Simon Cowell had a ready antonym for "ghastly," there's little room for doubt about which contestant he would have applied it to. While debates over whether McPhee's considerable grace and talent should have won her the TV competition rage on across the Idol-viewing landscape, one thing's certain: she's made a debut album good enough to render such determinations meaningless. Katharine McPhee is an R&B-leaning pop disc that pulls the urgency and tenderness out of her voice and pins it smack in the center of each song. The slickly produced opener "Love Story" displays a certain swagger, and "Not Ur Girl" and "Open Toes" follow it up with still more spunk and attitude (something some McPhans asked to see more of on AI). If there's a crisp, smartly maneuvered Christina Aguilera-meets-Beyoncé-and-Mariah sensibility at work in tho...

Elliott Yamin - Elliott Yamin
2007-03-11 20:12:00
Thankfully, Elliott Yamin 's in great voice on lead single "Movin' On," a kiss-off to a fickle lover that could just as easily be interpreted as a message to all those major-label execs who failed to snatch him up after his third-place finish on Idol's fifth season. The song's got a '70s, smooth-jazzy vibe that vaguely reminds me of "Just the Two of Us," but I don't think it would be totally out of place on today's pop radio, either. All in all, a very wise choice, especially considering the other two Elliott tracks being previewed at AOL include the far less hook-y "You Are the One" and a drippy inspirational ballad called "Find a Way". - Michael SlezakSongs on Album:1.

American Idol Season 5 - Encores
2007-03-09 19:32:00
The rumors were true--as a showcase for raw vocal chops, American Idol has gotten better every season. The good news for buyers of American Idol Season 5 Encores, then, is that to a one, each of the dozen tracks collected here is easy on the ears: Kellie Pickler's Patsy Cline re-do, "Walkin' After Midnight," clip-clops along with a pleasing North Carolina sweetness. Melissa McGhee proves she was voted off too early with the belt-a-holic opener "What About Love," and Kevin Covais makes a case for his inclusion on a future Disney soundtrack with the wistful "When I Fall in Love." If this disc launches thousands Web discussions, though--and it probably already has--it'll be for its final-fiver selections.Paris Bennett's "Midnight Train to Georgia" singlehandedly snaps preconceived notions about the show's talent caliber, even if you're not familiar with the spunky 17-year-old singing it. Chris Daughtry's "Wanted Dead or Alive" may not have a lot on Bon Jovi's version, but it sh...

Carrie Underwood - Some Hearts
2007-03-03 09:29:00
Would American Idol winner Carrie Underwood have landed a major-label recording contract without winning the hugely popular television contest? Probably. The big-voiced Oklahoman has the pipes, the look, the pedigree, and, most important, the emotional resonance to sustain a professional career. As an investment in her future, her label eschewed the easy path in putting out an album to take advantage of her publicity, going for a name producer, Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Faith Hill, Lonestar), to handle half the tracks. It also solicited material from the same top songwriters (Diane Warren, Brett James, Troy Verges, Rivers Rutherford) who stock albums by Hill, Martina McBride, Trisha Yearwood, and Wynonna. "Jesus, Take the Wheel," the hit first single, shows off the best of Underwood's power vocals, while the sexy rocker "We're Young and Beautiful" pulls her out of her ballad-heavy comfort zone, and her autobiographical "I Ain't in Checotah Anymore" bolsters her authenticity.

Bo Bice - The Real Thing
2007-03-03 09:15:00
Bo Bice, American Idol darling and Alabama babe magnet, had to have known he was taking a risk in naming his debut full-length The Real Thing . Up until now, those who weren't fans of the show and were introduced to Bice's heart-on-his-sleeve brand of southern rock through either his fall 2005 guest spot on Carlos Santana's All That I Am or his chart-topping turn on the single "Inside Your Heaven," also from 2005, may have been tempted to write him off as reality-show riffraff. The Real Thing--thanks in no small part to producer Clive Davis as well as Bice-boosters Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi, Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), and Ben Moody (Evanescence)--redeems the hirsute, hard-charging rocker. Bice steps lively through a cavalcade of soaring guitars and top-drawer hooks, and he doesn't skimp on the belting--hear it on the full-flame lament "Nothing Without You" and also "Remember Me," an insistent rant sunk chest-deep in sincerity. If Bice sounds less earthy here than he did on the...

Breaking For the Holidays - Various Artists
2007-03-03 08:55:00
Breaking For the Holidays is a collection of all-new recordings by 10 artists, the first seasonal release from New York-based Breaking Records. The album will be released Tuesday, November 21, 2006. The CD features eight-time Grammy winner Chaka Khan s inspired reading of the 1962 Christmas classic, Do You Hear What I Hear? along with heartthrob Ben Jelen, whose 2004 debut Give It All Away debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers album chart. He contributes a beautifully stripped-down version of Joni Mitchell's melancholy River. Two finalists from the nation's No. 1-ranked TV show, American Idol, also add to the festivities: Season four Vonzell Solomon percolates on the obscure chestnut, It's Gonna Be a Cold Cold Christmas, and season three Jon Peter Lewis delights with his Beach Boys-flavored original California Christmas. Entertainer Sandra Bernhard's Miracle of Lights, which features Iranian super star Sussan Deyhim, offers a long overdue Chanukah song with the potential...

American Idol Season 4 - The Showstoppers
2007-02-10 12:05:00
The Showstoppers indeed. All of these American Idol hopefuls sound terrific on this album; often a lot better than they did singing the songs live. But, that's okay, it's a fun retrospective of American Idol's best season yet. My favorite, Constantine Maroulis' "My Funny Valentine" shows the most originality and showcases his versatility. It's probably the only truly original presentation on the album. However, Nadia Turner's take on "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" really is breathtaking none the less; never did understand why she was knocked off so quickly. The group song, "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" is a nice song, but Vonzell Solomon is a bit too overpowering - Deborah GalanteSongs on Album:1. Independence Day - Carrie Underwood2.

I absolutely loved this CD. I feel that Fantasia took her time with this album and she was able to produce a number of very good songs. I loved the fact that she toned the screaming and relied on her actual voice to sell the songs. Her voice is beautiful. I feel that she believes in what she is singing and this is felt throughout the album. I liked this album much better then her first album. I really hope this album does well on the charts but even if it doesn't...oh well...her album was still good. And for those that are judging this album on her first single...you need to listen to the whole album and then judge. I must say however, i bought this album because of the first single which I love. - M. FequiereSongs on Album:1. Hood Boy featuring Big Boi2. When I See U3. I Nominate U4. Baby Makin' Hips5.

Fantasia Barrino - Free Yourself
2007-02-06 12:08:00
Fantasia really blew me away with this album,although she gets a lot of criticism about her voice,which to me sounds like a cross between Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child and Macy Gray. She can be sassy on songs such as "Free Yourself","Baby Mama" and "Ain't Goin'to beg",while she showcases her more softer side on songs such as "Truth Is","You were always on my mind".She gives a mind-blowing vocal performance on the inspirational "I Believe". This is a classic album. - LONWABOSongs on Album:1. Ain't Gonna Beg2. Free Yourself3. Truth Is4. Selfish5. Summertime6. Baby Mama7. Got Me Waiting8. It's All Good9. You Were Always On My Mind10.

2007-02-06 12:00:00
Diana DeGarmo's definitely is a powerful vocalist. If i did not get it wrong, she recorded this album at the age of 17. Years to come she will for sure be a really really impressive singer! This album did showcase the young energy carrying in her and contains some ballad to smoothen more this entire album. She handle both slow and fast songs just as well. The most outstanding tracks in this album to me would be Cardboard Castles, Emotional, Dreams, Boy Like You and Don't Cry Out Loud (A Better version in my own opinion) . With her great personality and voice, she'll fly high! Her potential is going to be FULLY shown in her second album. I'm looking forward to that! Hopefully there would be more ballad songs in her second effort! - JustinSongs on Album:1. Cardboard Castles2. Blue Skies3. Emotional4. Then I Woke Up5. All I Ever Wanted6. Go On And Cry7.

Latoya London - Love and Life
2007-02-06 11:52:00
Love & Life is a wonderful disc with a music for everyone. Scandalous and Appreciate will satisfy anyone who craves a strong beat, while Anything and More cater to the grown and sexy. It is rare to find a disc where you can easily pick 6 favorite songs. Latoya London 's voice shines on every cut, and her vocals and song selection far surpass her performances on AI. Contrary to other reviews, I think that the production is wonderful; not overdone like most of today's music. I had the pleasure of meeting her after a performance in NYC and she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She greeted anyone who approached her, gave hugs, let us take pics with a camera phone, and left us feeling like she was our favorite little sister; an awesome spirit and a wonderful talent. After seeing her live, I got the CD immediately and it is in my player right now. Real lovers of R&B will love this record! - R. PowellSongs on Album:1. Scandalous2. Every Part Of Me3.

George Huff - Miracles

During his run on American Idol, George Huff made us smile and laugh and cry, sometimes all at the same time! He appealed to the good in people and won over legions of fans, many of whom are still onboard the Huff train, finding their lives changed by having met this remarkable young man. But George is in the big leagues now, and his work will ultimately be judged by the people who buy music.Thankfully, Word Records is not leaving anything to chance, and is standing behind this release, promoting it through a series of mall shows throughout the country. George's fans have already spoken, but the key is to bring this CD to the attention of those who may not have been fans previously.George is a man on a mission, and that is, to spread the word of hope and faith to believers and non-believers alike. The nice thing about Miracles is that although the message is very evident, it is not a "hit you over the head" CD, and the music stands on its own merit. You "get" the message but can en...

George Huff - My Christmas EP
2007-02-06 11:32:00
George Huff will be remembered for his infectious smile as one of the finalists in the third season of American Idol. George's happy-go-lucky demeanor made him one of the fan favorites. George's first CD is actually a EP of Christmas tunes that makes one wish it had been a full LP. George's soulfully smooth voice and Gospel influence bring true hear to these seasonal songs. His silky voice reminds me of a young Luther Vandross. "Silent Night' is a particular favorite and "Go Tell it on the Mountain" could be a gospel classic for Mr. Huff. If I have one complaint its that the album is just two short and I would like to seen a couple more upbeat songs. Still, a wonderful debut for Geroge Huff! - Tim JansonSongs on Album:1.

Jon Peter Lewis - Stories From Hollywood
2007-02-06 11:15:00
Such an incredible album from Jon Peter Lewis ! There is honestly something great here to appeal to everyone. The songs range from the rock and roll/indie "Stories From Hollywood " and "What's Wrong," to the tender and romantic "Man Like Me," to the poetic and heart-felt "Turn To Grey," to the folksy, acoustic "Amanda Grace." But the key that binds all these varied songs together is Jon's marvelous and dramatic voice that conveys the perfect emotion for each song. Jon's low notes are truly splendid, and he sings everything with both clarity and passion. This is real music, not churned out, manufactured pop or mindless rock. Often, the songs portray an interesting drama, as in "Gypsy Queen" and "Man From Amsterdam." Drawing on influences that include classic rock and roll groups as well as recent indie bands, Jon develops his own unique style and sound in this extraordinary album. These songs will appeal to a wide spectrum of musical tastes. Buy Jon Peter Lewis's "Stories From Holl...
