 Very pleasant surprise, November 18, 2008

I loved Clay on Idol and eagerly bought his first CD, only to be disappointed by the plastic sameness of the tracks (a problem with many Idol CDs it seems). His Christmas CD was, however, excellent, so I again ran out to get his next CD hoping for more of the same. Alas, it was a bunch of tired and bland covers, though his voice actually sounded OK on it. So when he released his latest CD a few months ago I didn't bother getting it. My mistake. I was given an iTunes gift card for my birthday and there was nothing I really wanted so in the end I downloaded Clay's latest album. Wow! Finally, good songs, varied songs, and a return to the voice I remember from Idol (well, almost). Since downloading it a couple of weeks ago I have hardly stopped listening to it, and it hasn't gotten tired yet. From the funky "Everything I Don't Need" to the mournful "Sacrificial Love" and the upbeat "Ashes," there isn't a bad song on the CD. I'm just sorry it took me so long to buy it.

Review of "On My Way Here", October 13, 2008

I feel this is a must have CD. Clay not only set the bar, but surpassed it as well in the making of this CD. It is made known by other reviews and interviews with Clay, the songs were hand-selected to represent Clay as well as provide a message not only to himself but others as well; a feat not easily accomplished, but nonetheless achieved. Clay delivers each song with much fervor and passion. This CD is one no music collection should be without. KUDOS TO CLAY, WELL DONE!!

If you are a Clay Aiken fan already from his American Idol days or just someone who appreciates a great signing voice, you need look no further than this new album, "On my Way Here". Say what you want about his personal life, the man has got a great set of pipes and shows on this new album the depth of his vocal ability. You won't be disappointed with Clay's new album. He is one of the best vocal artists around.

 It's Over For Me, October 3, 2008

I realized after listening to this latest CD that Clay is over for me. Not one song's lyrics "spoke" to me, and the singing and arrangements produced not one song I felt like humming afterward, even if I could remember it. Whether it's the writers or genre Clay is choosing, I feel his musical albums have become almost non-musical. His performances on AI were electric and memorable; this album is the opposite, and it's all a bit depressing for me. Fortunately I checked this album out from the library before spending any $ on it.
