Title: Clay's voice shines through
Review: Reading the reviews it seems that many are based on the like or dislike of Clay or the continuation of a Ruben/Clay competition. Get over it! Ruben won the AI contest, they are both talented singers and their styles are different. That said, my critique of the album is that the songs are a little weak, overly orchestrated in some cases and some hokey instrumentals in other cases. Clay's voice, however, shines through and overcomes the weak material and the little time that was taken to put the album together. If you are sentimental and romantic at heart, like ballads, like to sing along, love Clays voice ... or any of the above, you will like this album. It just makes you feel good. Despite its shortcomings, I couldn't give it less than 4 stars since I love it and listen to it at least once a day. My favorite is The Way co written by Enrique Iglesias and hopefully we'll see some more like this on the next album ... stronger songs to match the depth of Clay's voice.
Is the review positive or negative?
