Free Music Notes for The Real Thing

Free Music Review: Excellent Debut Album!!!
Hit: 5 Stars

I can't believe that the liars and crooks have been out since Tuesday spamming this album. That hasn't gone unnoticed. They need to give up and go away. Because this is a GREAT CD. Clive Davis put together an excellent album for Bo. The producers and songwriters did an AMAZING job. This album does represent the real Bo. I'm tired of reading manufactured commercial hate. Half the people writing negative reviews have never listened to the album. Reality, if I hadn't known about Bo being on American Idol I would probably like this album even more than I already do.

I hope the people writing all of these nasty 1, 2, and 3-star reviews get a dose of their hate back at them. I hope they suffer beneath their own misguided and angry words. I don't understand why people will sit here for hours and write fictitious reviews just to bring someone else down. The only thing you have to blame Bo for is recording a GREAT album. This CD was never supposed to be "Southern Fried" Bo. People need to stop assuming that's what he wanted to record. All of the producers working on this album are great Pop/Rock producers. Many would be fighting to get songs from any of these people.

It's ridiculous for people to keep shoving all of their lame 1-star reviews in everyone's faces. Screw free speech. If you just want to write a review that's entirely false, then do it on your own time. But intentionally sabotaging someone else's career with lies is inexcusable. I've never written a 1-star review for any CD on this website. Why? Because I choose to review only the things that I like. I have no desire to take away someone else's right to form an opinion about the product themselves. I think buying the CD or listening to it on like AOL Music is the only way to form an accurate opinion. Unfortunately, even a good review can never due justice to the entire product. Sadly, some people will believe hate reviews and allow them to cloud their judgment. If you don't like Bo, then I say fine and move on. Stop being jealous haters.

Bo has every right to record the kind of album that he wants. If he didn't like the songs on the CD, I'm sure he would have spoken up. But obviously each one of these songs made the cut. Bo doesn't seem like the kind of guy who could be forced into doing much of anything. Bo is more than just an Alabama Southern Rocker. People keep trying to box him in and label his talent as either this or that. It's irritating that people are penalizing Bo because he didn't make their kind of album. Guess what, folks? He was never supposed to. He was supposed to make HIS album and this is it. If you want your album of what you think he should have recorded, then you need to get yourself a record contract and get in the studio and see if you could sell all of what you're crapping about.

I'm embarrassed for the fan wars that have resulted due to American Idol. I'm embarrassed for the fans still participating in them. I feel sorry for people who genuinely lack the intelligence to move on. No wonder the Idols have had such a hard time winning Grammys. Who wants to get in the middle of this middle school playground fight that goes on each year when the CD's are released? A respectable industry website predicted that Bo might be #1 next week and all of the haters came out with a vengeance. Whether he tops the charts or not, people need to give the hate spamming a rest. I can't believe how many people have made a career out of this. Even worse, I can't believe this website allows it. Personally, I'm tired of hearing all of these competing so-called opinions. I just want to listen to the album and make my own judgment. I recommend that others do the same.

Bo Bice, American Idol darling and Alabama babe magnet, had to have known he was taking a risk in naming his debut full-length The Real Thing. Up until now, those who weren't fans of the show and were introduced to Bice's heart-on-his-sleeve brand of southern rock through either his fall 2005 guest spot on Carlos Santana's All That I Am or his chart-topping turn on the single "Inside Your Heaven," also from 2005, may have been tempted to write him off as reality-show riffraff. The Real Thing--thanks in no small part to producer Clive Davis as well as Bice-boosters Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi, Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), and Ben Moody (Evanescence)--redeems the hirsute, hard-charging rocker. Bice steps lively through a cavalcade of soaring guitars and top-drawer hooks, and he doesn't skimp on the belting--hear it on the full-flame lament "Nothing Without You" and also "Remember Me," an insistent rant sunk chest-deep in sincerity. If Bice sounds less earthy here than he did on the show--onstage he recalled the singer from the '60s band the Grass Roots to eerie effect at times--few will be disappointed. This is modern music with a Southern-man twist made irresistible by a bare-it-all guy who means it. The real thing, in other words. -Tammy La Gorce
