Free Music Notes for American Idol Season 2: All Time Classic American Love Songs

Free Music Review: Great CD for Idol Fans!
Hit: 5 Stars

0/5- Don't even listen to... Horrible...
1/5- Hate it
2/5- Not that good
3/5- Average
4/5- Great
5/5- Excellent

1. (5/5) "What the World Needs Now"- This is a beautiful song to begin with, but it really displays the different range of vocals in the top 10. Gorgeous song, Julia's endnote really ties it all together.
2. (4/5) "Superstar"- Ruben is a really cool guy and a good singer, but this cut of the song just didn't hit me as much as I would've liked... The intro alone takes 48 SECONDS before we hear Ruben sing AT ALL! It seemed a lot slower to me than his live version, but maybe I'm just out of it... Good song, but not as good as the live performance.
3. (5/5) "On the Wings of Love"- What can I say? I totally love Clay's voice. It's so gorgeous! He does an excellent rendition of this song... I was torn during the finale between the two of them... I wish Clay and Ruben could have both won... Clay did a lot of awesome songs so I wouldn't know if this is the one I would've put on here... It was beautiful though... I'll be the first in line to buy his album when it comes out!
4. (4/5) "At Last"- Wow... That's the best word I can come up with... Wow... Julia can sing... Quite a shocker... This is a really good cover I think, really good vocals. She should've sang this way in the competition... She would have got a lot further probably. The only reason I docked it from a 5 was because how tiring it gets to listen to after the billionth time around... But I guess that can be said for most songs...
5. (5/5) "Three Times a Lady"- To begin with, I must admit that my opinion is probably biased... I loved Josh from the first time I heard him sing... He's just so sweet and such a great role-model... I thought they should've picked a song he sang in the competition 'cause this was a bit slow, but it was still really beautiful.
6. (5/5) "Let's Stay Together"- As another reviewer pointed out, what IS Trenyce's last name??? Oh well, that's off topic... Really nice song, very catchy, my only problem is that it wasn't nearly as strong as the live version that I ADORED when I heard it on the show... Still really good though... I think Trenyce should've been 3rd...
7. (4.5/5) "Back At One"- I loved Brian McKnight's original version, and Rickey did a REALLY good cover... He sounded JUST like Brian to the point where it was SCARY! I think the background vocals were a bit annoying... A really nice song, but I wish he had switched it up a little...
8. (5/5) "Killing Me Softly With His Song"- I'll be honest, I really didn't like Kimberly on the show. At all... She seemed too much like a Britney Spears wannabe to earn much respect in my eyes and I wasn't heartbroken when she was voted off... But god... This song is fantastic... Words don't describe it... Probably one of the best songs on the CD. I feel bad for not liking her so much... If she had sang like this my 'tude may have been different...
9. (0/5) "Open Arms"- I HATE CORY CLARK! HE CANNOT SING! HE'S A THUG THAT BEAT UP HIS SISTER AND STOLE CLAY'S SONG! UGH! HE SHOULDN'T BE ON HERE 'CAUSE HE IS A DISGRACE TO ALL THAT IS IDOL! (I thought it was a girl on the opening vocals at first... That's HOW BAD he is...) Skip right over this one folks...
10. (4/5) "How Do I Live)- Decent song, Carmen is no Leann Rimes, but she seemed like a sweet girl in the competition. It gets a bit tiring, but she sang pretty well.
11. (1/5) "Over the Rainbow"- I am possibly the only girl in the entire world who could not STAND Kimberley Locke... That girl just got on my last nerve... This, like "Open Arms" is a song I skip over every time... I just hate her voice... She sounds like she's choking on a halibut... Trenyce deserved 3rd place... It should've gone to someone with TALENT!!!
12. (5/5) "Overjoyed"- Oh my gosh. This was another shocker. This song was GORGEOUS! I cannot get enough of it! I wish Charles had sang like this in the competition! The vocals were AMAZING! It convinced me that he deserves a recording contract just as much as Clay and Ruben... Make sure you listen to this one, you'll keep hitting the BACK button a few dozen times.
13. (4/5) "God Bless the USA"- Josh sounds sooo cute! Um... Yeah... ^^;;; Nice song, better live, but that can be said about a few of them... The girls part isn't as good as the guys but Trenyce was the only girl I really thought was good this year, so I may be a bit biased...

Top 4 Songs on CD:
"Overjoyed"- Charles Grigsby
"Killing Me Softly With His Song"- Kimberly Caldwell
"Let's Stay Together"- Trenyce
"On the Wings of Love"- Clay Aiken

Overall, if you GOT RID OF [...] CORY and added a Vanessa song instead, this is a REALLY good CD. Any Idol fan needs it just to relive the triumphs and tears of the most addictive show of the year...
