CLAY AIKEN IS THE BEST
920151
I fell in love with him when he first auditioned on American Idol 2.  I was praying for him the whole way through and was disappointed when he lost to Ruben.  But his sales prove that he should have been the American Idol.  I bought his CD the second day it came out, I had been waiting for it for so long and I was not disappointed at all.  He sounds wonderful and it feels as if he's singing only to you.  If you have a good ear and know good music when you hear it, this CD is for you!!  There aren't many good singers left so I'm thankful he's blessed with this gift.

I have been a fan of Clay's since season 2 of "American Idol" began.  When I saw his performance of "Solitaire" on the show, I thought it was stunning.  I remember saying how I wished he would've been able to sing the entire song.  As soon as this single came out, I bought it.  Words truly cannot describe how beautiful it is, but I'll try to do it justice.  The song keeps building until the last minute, and the song erupts into the best performance I've heard from him.  The power, strength, and passion behind the words is the most breathtaking thing I have heard.  Clay fans, and those who aren't Clay fans but love music, you all owe it to yourselves to listen to that song.  I recommend this to anyone and everyone.

What can i say but perfection.  The Way a beatiful song and well done, but the song that got me the most was Solitaire.  Utter perfection!  And then that glory note, he held it for 16 seconds!  BEST song i have heard him record!  Even if you are not a clay fan you must hear Solitaire and you will agree that is is superb! Give it a try.

Let me begin by saying, yes i am reading the book and so far am almost through it all. I can safely begin writing this review. If you are an avid Clay Aiken fan like myself, do not second guess yourself. Buy this book. It's an emotional, life changing sentiment that i find hard to put dowm. Clays describes his childhood so vividly, that you feel like you are vicariously re-living it with him. It showcases some of his ups and downs, along with his rise from American Idol, and down to his humble hometown roots. Clay has undoubtably captivated the world over with his unique syle and this book will definetly seal his reign as one of the most intriguing popstars ever. I feel like I know the real Clay Aiken.

YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME CLAY...WELL DONE.

First of all I just want to state that Clay was my absolute favorite contestant on American Idol 2, but that aside...These are two of the best songs out right now.  Clay's voice is borderline Angelic, and I can't get enough of him.  I can't wait for his debut album, but till then I'll be playing "This Is the Night" till the cd wears out.  The song is so romantic! And Clay's voice still makes me weak in the knees!

This CD ranks among my top five.  James Last and Richard Clayderman  make a great team. Beautiful, soothing music.  I love it.

I read somewhere sombody called Clay Aiken "Barry Manilow with less talent".  Anyone who thinks that needs to have their ears cleaned out.  My dad has Ultimate Manilow.  I went and compared Barry Manilow to Clay Aiken and there is no comparison.  The just look a little bit alike.  Clay Aiken has more powerful vocals and a very strong voice.  He is one of the best vocalists America has ever seen.  Pick up a copy of this cd and spread the word! It's so amazing

The Way isn't my favourite song on his album, but presumably most people buy this single for Solitaire. If you liked how he sung it on American Idol you will absolutely love this. It's beautifully sung as one would expect from Aiken, but the production is also very good. Also, if you have heard this song on the radio, at five and a half minutes this version is actually quite a bit longer. I would recommend this even if you don't usually buy singles.

Clay Aiken is the greatest and after I watched him all the way through American Idol I knew I had to have his Christmas album.

This is a must-buy CD for everyone with good taste in music! The best one I've bought in years. His voice can be so soothing and powerful at the same time. This CD is full of emotion and I can really feel it. I love "Run to Me" a lot, I'm always speechless everytime I hear it. Other songs are great and catchy as well. I can't wait for Clay's next Christmas or any album. As for the review, I don't care much about it, jaan whatever can quack however she wants, it is us, THE TRUE FANS, who will determine the success of MOAM.

This cd is wonderful. Clay's voice is so beautiful and the lyrics and music to these songs are very profound.  The title cut "On My Way Here" is just beautiful.  Clay's voice is a gift.

This album is phenomenal!  Yes, there is a song or two I sometimes skip over, but that is just to get to MY favorite ones.  What I don't understand are the Clay lovers that come here to review Ruben's cd negatively.  Grow up already and stop hating on the man!  He won! Clay lost! Get over it and be fair. The man can SING. Beautifully.  Period!  Not since Lauryn Hill's Miseducation have I had so much trouble deciding which song to put on repeat on my player.  As a matter of fact I think I will go put the CD on now.  Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! You won't be disappointed!

I am transfixed by the sound of Clay Aiken's voice on "Measure of a Man".  As a person who spends her day ensuring the integrity of numbers and looking at paper for hours on end, I found Mr. Aiken's debut album stunning and refreshing to listen to.  The album is a portrait of Mr. Aiken as an individual and as a new recording artist.  From his ability to convey the emotion in the lyrics of "The Way" to the sensual sounds of his voice in "Touch", Mr. Aiken has raised the bar for the debut of recording artists...he is truly a maverick in an industry that doesn't always know what to do with uniqueness.  Congratulations Mr. Aiken for retaining your uniqueness and great sense of humor in dealing with the media.  America has witnessed the unveiling of a new brand product:  Clay.

Clay delivers a fabulous cd. Thankfully he has wonderful songs to showcase his voice. This album is not a kitchy "American Idol" cd but a full blown showing of this young man's amazing talent. This is the best cd I have bought in several years. It is for teenagers to us older generations. Well done Clay. You did it!!!

This album seems to be a wonderful mix of what his audience from American Idol has come to expect of Clay Aiken's rich and  powerful voice and new melodies, some with a rock edge, that depart from the ballads and standards that he sang on the show. His ability to deliver emotional performances is a given and Measure of a Man continues to provide a wonderful ride through songs with enough longing, romance, and excitement to satisfy anyone with an ear for a pure and stunning voice that seems to mirror the man. It is hoped that this debut is the first of many albums to come as Mr. Aiken continues to grow, evolve, and shine as a recording artist.

Finally, we have some new music from Clay Aiken. His voice shines on this song. His producer has let us actually hear his smooth vocals and I thank him for that. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the tracks. The album seems to be an eclectic mix.

Clay shines with his performance of Solitaire.  If this doesn't bring Neil Sedaka to tears, I don't know what will.  Clay's performance on AI was awesome, but this one puts the icing on the cake.  Clay is phenomenal.  I highly recommend the purchase of this CD.  It is worth every dime.  Kudos to Clay for a job extremely well done!
