Product Description
From Amazon.com
No one will lament the passing of the boy band phenomena; now the American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken has released his first album. He's picked up right where 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys left off, not only borrowing Andreas Carlsson, the Swedish songsmith who penned some of their biggest hits (also using the services of other well-known popmeisters like Desmond Child and Cathy Dennis) but turning out the same type of impeccable over-produced and seamless creations that the Orlando pop mafia rode up the charts at the dawn of the millennium. Now two years later, it seems like there's still quite a bit of life left in that tired zeitgeist, since Aiken's Measure of a Man debuted at number one on the Billboard charts, even outselling Ruben Studdard's debut album, the man who beat him on the second season of Fox TV's talent search. Well crafted and well sung, but devoid of any discernable personality or endearing idiosyncrasies, all of Aiken's overwrought tunes sound disturbingly the same, whether he's lamenting the lack of love in his life ("Invisible"), revealing in it ("Perfect Day"), or supporting his fellow man ("I Will Carry You"). Aiken invests little real emotion in his delivery, instead homogenizing the whole process, coming across more like a made-for-TV pop star than the real thing. --Jaan Uhelszki

He's hot, but that's it!,
By Hot Rhonda "Hey There!" (Hmmm...) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Measure Of A Man (Audio CD)
(...) Too bad his CD sucks. The songs sounded like they were coming from someone who was about to be neutered. Next time skip the album and pose for Playgirl Clay!!!

oh please - the cheesiest, fame-seeking man in the USA,
By "iluvkanyewest" (london, uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Measure Of A Man (Audio CD)
this album could NOT be worse. There are many good singers that come out of the Idol shows - Kelly Clarkson has a soothing, big voice that gives me a shiver up my spine everytime; Will Young has an individual voice that really shines and impresses me; Tamaira Grey is not the best but still has an amazing voice; i think Guy Sebastian is also brilliant, so is Michelle McManus; and, of course, the new American Idol has - in the top twelve - at least six good singers: camile velasco & fantasia barrino are my favourites, and Diana, La Toya, George and Jennifer are also very impressive - but Aiken is not a breath of fresh air, his songs are all very camp and he thinks he's a unique man just because he's singing about love, but he is terrible. all the songs sound the same, and have way TOO much meaning, if you know what i mean. I am amazed at how many Americans buy his cd and think its good. your advice is to stay way away from this musical disaster.

Do me a favour!,
This review is from: Measure Of A Man (Audio CD)
The bloke might have a good or even great voice but this pile or arse does him no favours at all, Im afraid I have no respect for pop puppets who allow themselves to be pulled in all directions and sing dire crap like this. He would have done better for himself and have more credibility if he touted himself to the record companies and worked his way up the traditional way, appearing on American Idol is the lazy way to achieve fame. Youre better off listening to Robbie Williams, hes a guy whos been to hell and back making a name for himself and deserves respect.
