Title: Not "electrifying" Clay, but "electrified" Clay
Review: The most enduring criticism of "commercial pop" music is that by the time the producers get done with their electronica and multiple tracking, the singer gets lost in the shuffle. Such is the case here. The Clay Aiken with the dazzling talent and soaring high notes that we loved on American Idol is buried in a sea of "production" so that the album becomes another of so many that literally "anybody" could have sung. I guess we'll have to wait until he's proven he can sell enough "commercial mainstream" to take the "risk" of a "Broadway" album, or to sing the the hard-to-sing oldies that he became famous for on AI.Love ya Clay, just not this album.
Is the review positive or negative?
