Title: Solid debut effort from the "skinny white boy".
Review: Don't take offense at the title, Clay Aiken called himself that in his first audition for American Idol. That was also when I first noticed his amazing voice.His debut album is full of catchy pop tunes. My favorite tracks are "the Way" (lovely ballad) and "Measure of a Man". My main quibble with the CD are the preponderance of 'love' songs. I realize that Aiken has quite a female following, but I like to hear songs about other subjects. After a while, the lyrics begin to sound the same. I'm a melody freak though, so I don't place as much emphasis on lyrical content. How many ways can one sing "baby"? It's a good first effort and I look forward to more variety from Aiken in the future. His beautiful voice deserves only the best.
