Free Music Notes for The Way / Solitaire
Free Music Review: "The Way" to find "Solitaire"
Hit: 5 Stars
"The Way" is going to be the 2004 Prom date and most requested song for wedding receptions. The message conveyed so perfectly by Aikens emotional and soaring vocal delivery, is absolutely heart wrenching. The words are memorable and they convey complete longing and happiness for the love that he has found.
The "flip side" presents the incomperable "Solitaire" which Clay sang on American Idol sending the entire audience into chills and tears of joy. He presents this song as a gift to his fans who he credits for his super stardom today.
A gift it truly is! It's difficult to describe the perfection of his voice as he reaches down to the lower register or soars high in glory notes. He is pure gold.
He tells a story of lost love as he reaches out and grabs you by the heartstrings with such incredible emotion!
You will want a couple of copies of this CD. One for home and one for the car or office. Absolutely A+! Aiken plus!
Free Music Review: Five Stars isn't enough!
Hit: 5 Stars
First the A side: I loved 'The Way' when I first heard it on the album, loved it more when Clay performed it on t.v., and am really looking forward to hearing it on the current tour. Although the video isn't being shown in Canada yet, I have seen it once and am eagerly awaiting more. Clay dedicates this song to his fans - it is a beautiful, beautiful expression of love sung by one of the most compelling voices heard today.Now the B side: 'Solitaire' was an incredible performance on AI2 and I honestly didn't think that there could be a better version. Thought that maybe he should not record it, but leave that AI performance to stand alone. Was I ever wrong! This is the song that should earn Clay a Grammy nomination!!! Words cannot describe how incredible his rendition is or how it will make you feel.
I do wish Clay was being played on the radio more, but next payday will buy a CD player for my car, so that problem will be solved.
Free Music Review: A Masterpiece!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have to admit I own Clay Aikens CD Measure of a Man and really enjoy it but was not prepared for his version of Solitaire. I have never liked the song so I expected not to like this version either. Was I ever wrong, the song just blew me away I still have chills from listening to it over and over since I picked it up this morning. This young mans voice is truly amazing, what doesn't show in his CD you can definatley hear in Solitaire. Clay Aiken proves he is not just a product of a reality TV show but a true artist, I seldom have this kind of a reaction from a song but this song is truly a masterpiece. Mr. Aikens wide range and powerful vocals really come through, I am very impressed. If this song doesn't receive a Grammy nod then I have will have serious doubts about the music industry and what they concider art.Truly an amazing version of Solitarie. Neil Sedaka should be very proud that his song has found the person that was meant to sing it.Free Music Review: A Masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
I truly believe that Clay Aiken is destined to be the greatest singer of his generation. This is a magnificent recording. As a true Clay fan from his first note on "American Idol," I have continued to marvel at his amazing gift. "The Way" is an expressive and beautiful song. But "Solitaire" is truly a masterpiece.
I expect Mr. Aiken to have a long and productive career, and I eagerly await his next project. "Solitaire" has set the standard. And, as challenging as it may be to equal the brilliance of this record, I believe that in the future Mr. Aiken will exceed all our expectations.
In addition, I highly recommend seeing and hearing him perform live in concert. His charisma, personality, and extraordinary voice make him a real showman. I would say that "it doesn't get any better than this," but I might be wrong. I think that Mr. Aiken will continue to get better and better.
Free Music Review: The best voice to come along in a very long time.
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this recording. The Carpenters' version of Solitaire is excellent, but Clay's interpretation is certainly its equal. Clay has the best pure pop voice to come along in a very long time (unfashionable in this age of fakes and lip synchers -- just let them try to sing anything acoustic, which most of them couldn't do at gunpoint!). As a singer, I can appreciate what a rare gift he has, and he does a wonderful job communicating the emotion in the song as well. Don't hesitate to buy this single -- you won't be disappointed. And to those of you who used this space to bash him: first of all, are you singers yourselves? Didn't think so. And why did you buy his CD (if you actually did buy it) if you hate him so much? You're just putting money in his pocket, and he's laughing all the way to the bank. Finally, you haters should really learn to write a coherent sentence; if you ever reach that point, you just might have some credibility.
