Free Music Notes for Katharine McPheeFree Music Review: One of the most Underrated Albums Ever Hit: 5 StarsI don't watch Idol and didn't know who Katharine McPhee was until I caught The House Bunny on TV one night. She sang a song at the end, and I thought...I think singing is her thing (her acting was cute though). I put it out of my mind until I decided to Google her and found she had released two albums already! I have to say that I was a little apprehensive about this particular one giving a few of the recent reviews and the fact that it doesn't seem to have sold too well, but after listening to it...I am quite SHOCKED at many of the comments. This album is amazing! It's not just pop/R&B, but it has some amazing ballads with soul and emotion. She covers a lot of genres with ease, and I guess I like that eclectic quality to this bunch of songs. And her voice is out of this world. She's a mixture between Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, and Sarah McLachlan. Very unique. My favorite songs are Neglected, Everywhere I Go, Ordinary World, and Better Off Alone (I'm a sucker for the soulful ballads). Hopefully, she'll find great success with the new album, and people will revisit this lost gem!
Free Music Review: Horrifyingly Awful Hit: 1 StarsShe's a pretty girl who proved she can sing, yet this is an unmitigated disaster. No wonder she was quickly dropped by her label. Blame half the problem Kara DioGuardi who has yet to discover that most good songs need, oh, I dunno, a melodic line. Here's some advice: Katherine, stop trying to be a warmed-up version of Beyonce or Mariah, find music that isn't insipid retreads of others, and carve your own niche. You deserve better.
Free Music Review: :(:(ew... Hit: 3 StarsStars are so depressing lately. she is really pretty, she has a good voice, but she likes to wear immodest clothes. 'open toes' is a cute song but with some suggestive themes, like flirting in her miniskirt and putting herself above everything else. 'love story' is a sweet song, but the music video is horrible. And more than gross, it's just plain wierd. Call me conservative, but i don't care for plunging necklines, shortSHORT skirts, and some of the other themes in this album. She sang 'Connected' in Barbie and the Diamond Castle and that's where i heard of her :0)
Free Music Review: Hot!!! Hit: 5 StarsWow! I never watch American Idol but maybe I should! I heard this artist on the House Bunny Sountrack and googled her immediately. I liked what I heard to buy the album and it is so worth it! From the first track to the last, there is something on this album for everyone, no matter the gender, race or station in life! Her voice is so full of soul! I am impressed and look forward to future albums!
Free Music Review: Hmm... Hit: 2 StarsThis album is very ordinary, Pretty conservative and very predictable. These songs are all drab for the most part. Sounds too much like Danity Kane's stuff and it's not creative. The beats are all average, the lyrics have all been sang before by someone else. It's just not a FUN or interesting album. No Pop/Rock, No Electronica, No FUN just plain and simple RNB songs with a subtle Hip-Hop undertone that you can get from Jordin Sparks, Pussycat Dolls, Fergie and so on and so forth. However I must admit I like 4 out of the 12 songs here. "Each Other" "Everywhere I Go" "Over It" & "Open Toes", RNB tends to be the least fun of the music genre's to me unless the vocals are superior. The four songs in which I mentioned all showcase Katharine's vocals really well. They're typical RNB songs like Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" "Don't Forget About Us" or Usher's "Let It Burn", Ya Know those generic winded down RNB songs that everyone sings, But I must say I was captivated by her vocal performance. "Open Toes" is an upbeat song that most would play on their way to the club. Sounds exactly like something from Danity Kane's first album, It would not be out of place- But once again her vocals are really nice. I love the pace of the song and how she sings it. Overall this album is a little too generic for my taste, It's not soulful, It's not anything special, It's very BASIC/Very Average. There's not much appeal within this album. RNB fanatics will take to this album really well or if you're not too picky about what you listen to i'm sure it can be fair... Maybe
