A Thousand Different Ways, the follow-up to Clay Aiken's chart-burning debut Measure of a Man, trots out the kind of material a fleet-voiced former American Idol contestant can't help having a field day with: Aiken's version of Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" is bathed in a smoothness that renders it arguably better than the original; his step into Celine Dion's shoes for "Because You Loved Me" sees nary a stumble (no easy feat, considering it's a vocal obstacle course of a song); and his cover of Paul Young's '80s classic "Everytime You Go Away" comes across as a clean-sounding, much-needed update. More proof that Aiken ain't fakin' when it comes to being a stylish interpreter comes courtesy of his convincing carry-off of Dolly Parton's sweet "Here You Come Again," but where he'll earn the most merit points for this disc is with its four originals--"A Thousand Days" especially. Aiken has the kind of voice that makes listeners want to scoot close to the speaker. He may be a softy, but when it comes to trapping raw emotion in song, he's become a mop-topped man of steel. --Tammy La Gorce

Amazon.com

The project, Aiken's first outing since 2004, combines 10 cover versions of well-known songs from the '70s, '80s and '90s with four brand-new songs. The album is a follow-up to Aiken's debut set, "Measure of a Man," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart and is certified triple-platinum, as well as the platinum-selling "Merry Christmas with Love," the best-selling holiday album of the 2004 season.

5 out of 5 stars WOW!!.......2007-07-07

Amazing vocals! This CD is great! He breathes new life into the songs that have been played over and over again on the radio. His new songs are great too!

5 out of 5 stars Clay does Covers and is AWESOME again!.......2007-07-06

For whatever reason, there are those in the industry that think doing an album of mostly "covers" isn't legit or even cool, but Clay has proven all naysayers wrong. This album is very smooth, powerful in its delivery, and every cover is better than the original, in my humble opinion. And A Thousands Days is beautiful original piece. I didn't understand the way radio stations work so was very confused why none of these tunes were ever played on our local (Denver) radio station, especially on the station that plays all love songs late at night.... kinda sad in my opinion that songs aren't played on the radio like they did in the old days....by what the listeners want and request! Clay's CD deserved lots of air time but was ignored by those who dictate what we hear on the radio. Clay has a beautiful voice and a masterful delivery of his music and he will be around for a very long time. He's still my favorite American Idol contestant and I believe I speak for many folks! Buy this CD and you won't be disappointed!

5 out of 5 stars I love Clay.......2007-07-03

I absolutely LOVE Clay Aiken and have nothing bad to say about him or this album. I was glad that he released a new album after much anticipation and it was well worth the wait.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty good.......2007-06-16

I really enjoyed Clay's first album...every single song. This one is good, but I would have preferred more original songs instead of mostly retreads. I think a 2nd album for an artist should not be re-makes, so although I liked it, I was a bit disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars An Unexpeted Winner!.......2007-06-13

I bought this album, because I enjoy Clay's voice, but I was a little adamant about the covers concept when I first bought it. That was until I actually listened to it. I couldn't believe how songs that I had heard so many times before, could sound so new and refreshing. They really do a good job of changing up the songs and making them new, while still staying true to the great lyrics and great melodies. A great example of this is Broken Wings, which was changed up and given a fresh, new, etheral sound to it, and sounds just amazing! What really got me was that Clay puts so much emotion and passion into each song. Each song is jam-packed with raw emotion, and you can really see what he is feeling, which is really something. The four orignials on the album are also great. A Thousand Days is classic Clay, and mixes well with the album. Lonely No More which was cowritten by Clay is also great, and the other too songs These Open Arms (written by Bon Jovi), and Everything I Have are also wonderful songs. In the end I realized that even though most of these songs were covers, it didn't matter. I ended up loving the album anyways, and it really showcases Clay's voice in a great way. You should try it out!

No one will lament the passing of the boy band phenomenon; now the American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken has released his first album. He's picked up right where 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys left off, not only borrowing Andreas Carlsson, the Swedish songsmith who penned some of their biggest hits (also using the services of other well-known popmeisters like Desmond Child and Cathy Dennis), but turning out the same type of impeccable over-produced and seamless creations that the Orlando pop mafia rode up the charts at the dawn of the millennium. Several years into the new millennium it seems like there's still quite a bit of life left in that zeitgeist, since Aiken's Measure of a Man debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. Well crafted and well sung, but at times lacking discernable personality or endearing idiosyncrasies, many of Aiken's tunes sound the same, whether he's lamenting the lack of love in his life ("Invisible"), reveling in it ("Perfect Day"), or supporting his fellow man ("I Will Carry You"). As a made-for-TV pop star, it'll be interesting to see how Measure of a Man measures up in the years to come. --Jaan Uhelszki

1 out of 5 stars I'm not one to usually complain, but this CD sucks!.......2007-06-21

Why did I buy it, you might ask? Because Clay has a wonderful voice, that's why! I heard Bridge Over Troubled Water and was blown away. I had to have this CD. But it's garbage. I thought Jewel's Pieces Of You CD was bad. At least she had a couple of songs that saved it from being a pointless, mindless waste of time. This CD has one and I mean ONE song that is tolerable and that's Measure Of A Man. But to be honest, I didn't sit through one song here because I couldn't. The lyrics that they had written for Clay were OK but none of it seemed believable when he sang to me. Nothing. OK, maybe Invisible was but I still didn't like that song either. I have no problem with adult contemporary (if that's what you call this) because Mariah used to do wonders with it. However, Clay didn't pull it off at all. And this CD barely does anything to showcase his voice. All there seemed to be was mindless, pointless dribble coming from the stereo for the twenty minutes I spent skipping through this CD. It is completely unlistenable!

You can buy it, but don't say I didn't warn you!

5 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!!!.......2007-05-11

I love this cd. Clay Aiken is wonderfully talented and has an awesome voice. I highly recommend this-all the songs are great!!!

5 out of 5 stars This artist has been horribly mis-managed........2007-04-08

Clay Aiken is truly a gifted singer and entertainer. He has such a fantastic voice and mesmerizing stage presence. The only reason I can see as to why he isn't more popular or releasing new material has to be because of poor management. He needs to clean house- fire all his "people" and start over from scratch. He deserves better- and so do his legions of loyal fans.

Having now gotten off my soapbox, I can now offer up my opinion on this album. I must say that this is a great debut album. Clays vocals are showcased very well and several of the songs really touched me deeply. Having had a similar "non-relationship" with my biological father, I can only imagine the pain and regret he feels when singing 'Solitaire' and 'Measure of a Man'.
I highly recommend this to anyone- whether you're an Aiken fan or not. But having listened to his great voice, I don't know how you could walk away and not appreciate this man's talent.

5 out of 5 stars CLAY IS A-OK!.......2007-02-05

I LIKE TO LISTEN TO SONG SAMPLES BEFORE I ORDER ANY CD FROM AN ARTIST I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH. LIKED CLAY AIKEN'S VOICE. THIS IS A GREAT CD. I HAVE TWO CD'S OF CLAY, AND LIKE THEM BOTH.

4 out of 5 stars I Must Commend Clay For Not Going Hip/Hop.......2007-01-16

This guy is much wiser than the other American Idol folks. He knows his voice, obviously likes a good lyric and melody and didn't want to waste time putting a lot of "fillers" on his album.

Obviously, the record companies convinced both Fantasia Barrino and Ruben Studdard that they MUST be hip/hop in order to sell records (forget the fact that they can REALLY sing!) Their albums sound just like the rest of that boring hip/hop junk. What a shame!

Hip/hop wasn't what got them the title of "American Idol". I remember one contestant who came out and did a hip/hop number and was promptly voted off the next week. AI always chooses strong songs that make sense, not the moronic hip/hop stuff. Hooray to Clay for knowing his voice and keeping his taste in tact.

Back in the days when the forces that controlled television actually cared about art, it was perfectly normal to see original plays and live musical performances right in your living room. In 1950, Menotti was commissioned to write an opera for television, and on Christmas Eve, 1951, Amahl and the Night Visitors was performed by the NBC Television Theater. This recording, under the composer's personal direction, was made a few days later, and it remains the definitive version, even though the sound is very dated and rough in places. This story of a poor shepherd boy's encounter with three kings and the miraculous healing of his crippled leg when he offers his crutch as a gift has captured audiences around the world ever since its premiere. Its charming mix of tuneful melody, dancing rhythms, delightful choruses, humor and poignancy, and an English text makes this work immediately accessible to audiences of all ages and musical tastes. --David Vernier

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars My favorite Christmas music.......2007-05-13

Having seen the original TV production of Amahl as a kid, I have very fond and tender memories of this story, and I find the music to be absolutely delightful - profound but in a very accessible and somewhat playful way. This recording brings back the spirit of Christmas to me instantly!

5 out of 5 stars An unsung genius.......2007-04-10

Giancarlo Menotti slipped peacefully to his rewards recently after having composed some of the finest music of the last century. Although an Italian native, his ability to place English words in his vocal works in exactly the right places to allow singers their best production, he is still not performed often. His story lines are always poignant, whether for opera or ballet and his orchestral works strike at the emotional heart of the listener while giving the performers great opportunities to shine. His Christmas opera, "Amahl and the Night Visitors" was first telecast with a brilliant, wonderfully cast and directed group of singers and dancers and was an immediate success, scheduled to be repeated the following season. Only one copy of the tape was stored and, incredibly, was "accidentally" erased, before the second telecast. It was necessarily recast in the role of Amahl, since the first young boy's voice had changed. This is the result of that recasting, with the rest of the amazing singers and new boy recreating a blessed and beautiful masterpiece. I regret that the same care was not given to the visual aspects in the second, hastily produced telecast.
In my opinion, this creation should be lovingly produced every year!
I am a grateful singer of his works.

5 out of 5 stars Amahl and the Night Visitors made our Christmas very precious!.......2007-01-20

I grew up listening to this operetta and it was so exciting to find it again and make it a part of my family's traditions. This is an excellent recording.

4 out of 5 stars Mother, Mother, Mother Come With Me..........2007-01-13

It's as good as I remember from my own childhood, and I was AMAZED when my 5 year old son DEMANDED to hear it over and over on our recent trip to Minnesota. Now, weeks after we've packed away our Christmas CD's, my son STILL sings out from the other room "Mother! Mother! Mother come with me, I want to be sure that you see what I see!" whenever he wants to show me something. I'm glad that such a wonderful piece of our culture has been woven into the consciousness of yet another generation.

5 out of 5 stars A must have.......2007-01-10

My earliest childhood memories of Christmas always include Amahl. My parents saw this the first year they were married and it became a tradition to listen to it after that.

It has become the cornerstone of my families holiday celebrations.

Clay Aiken may look wide-eyed and unassuming, but when it comes to figuring out what his fans want for Christmas, he's got it all figured out. On Merry Christmas with Love he so cannily anticipates the musical sugarplums dancing in the heads of his devotees that you half expect him to climb down the chimney and hand-deliver it. Key to the dozen-song collection's appeal is its straightforwardness: Parting ways with the sea of celebrities who use holiday discs as an excuse to cut loose, Aiken banishes irony and coyness so absolutely here that certain carols--the medley "Hark the Herald Angels Sing/O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Silent Night" especially--take on church-like tones; expect tree trimmers to put aside their tinsel and contemplate the meaning of the season. Yet don't expect them to miss out on any merriment. On less chestnutty selections like the ballads "Mary Did You Know" and Celine Dion's "Don't Save It All for Christmas Day," Aiken lets it rip, reining in a passion and pure-heartedness so believable that fans will wish he, rather than the guy in the red velvet suit, were Santa Claus. -Tammy La Gorce

Absolutely my new favorite Christmas cd. My entire family enjoys this, and every song is perfection! It's amazing how this young guy crept into the music scene (through American Idol-and he should have won it as every one out there knows!!!) and has blown everyone away with his awesome voice. Please buy this cd; it will become a tradition in your home during the Christmas season!!

5 out of 5 stars Glorious Voice!.......2007-02-06

What Clay delivers in this album is better than anything Santa can bring: A glorious voice that makes the songs, mostly Christmas standards, seem new again. His voice soars on "O Holy Night" and "Don't Save It All for Christmas Day." And yet, the chills one gets from listening to these songs sets a contrast to his "chilled-out" version of "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" Yes, it's cool. The album is an eclectic mix of traditional religious carols, traditional seasonal songs, and the up-to-this-album little known "Merry Christmas With Love."

Great CD. What a voice!

5 out of 5 stars Top of the line.......2003-06-17

This CD, along with Watching the White Wheat, is consistently a top seller on the group's US tours. Solid musicianship, great passion and emotion brought into the singing. There is some instrumental work done on this disc, but it doesn't overpower the singers.

To correct Mr. Beamer's statement in his review, the KS have indeed been doing pop and all genres of music since their founding in 1968. In fact, it was the inappropriateness of singing pop and light music with the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, that led a small group to branch off and sing all genres of music, including pop, on their own time ... this leading to the founding of the King's Singers.

5 out of 5 stars The King's Singers in their element.......2001-09-28

The King's Singers got started a few decades ago doing exclusively classical material, and most of that was pre-1700. Now, many years on, (and after several changes in the group's membership) they have long since branched out into pop and other genres.

This CD (along with another similar one, "Watching the White Wheat") really show off their UK roots, with English, Scottish, and Irish folksongs. The arrangements are mostly quite good, and all the performances are excellent. Deserving of special mention are: (on the slow, poignant side) "Annie Laurie", and "The Ash Grove". [Note: the arrangement of "Annie Laurie" heard here is different from, and I think inferior to, the arrangement they did on an old out-of-print LP called "Atlantic Bridge", where they did both Britsh and American folksongs -- that LP is Highly Recommended (if you can find it -- good luck!)]

Anyway, back to the review: on the up-tempo side, two very fun tunes are "Going to Towyn" and "Mairi's Wedding". For you singers out there, the score for the latter is available in a 3-part arrangement, and is rather easy to learn.

5 out of 5 stars Pure Artistry.......2000-12-09

I bought this CD after seeing the King's Singers in concert. Everytime I listen to it, it takes me back to a magical evening, and a magical place- the British Isles. These songs are beautifully arranged and sung. I never get tired of listening to these timeless folk songs that have been weaved into the cultural fabric of America and others around the world.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely beautiful!.......2000-08-25

The cracked, maimed, and scuffed CD case that I am looking at right now is in itself testement to the addictive qualities of this recording. I have had this CD for almost a year and it has wandered the country with me (we just got back from No. Cal. ;) I listen to it almost every night before I go to sleep. The beautifully blended harmonies on this CD are gorgeous and I have fallen completly in love with the countertenor voices. All of the tacks are wonderful but my favorites are (#2)The Skye Boat Song (listen to this while reading Diana Gabaldon!) (#4) Annie Laurie (#6) Danny Boy and (#17) Eriskay Love Lilt. *Whew* that was hard, I can't pick my favorites easily. Buy this CD for it's gorgeous cover and fall in love with the music!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2000-05-18

I love this CD, the arrangements for these folk songs are superb. The songs picked are fun and beatiful representatives of English Folk songs. One of my favorite CD's.

5 out of 5 stars Great, but TOO MUCH BACKGROUND.......2006-06-10

I rated this CD a 5 only because of Clay. However, the background music is entirely too loud and strong and it overpowers Clay's voice. I was especially disappointed when, after watching American Idol, Clay hit that last note at the end of the song with such power it gave me chills. I expected to hear the same on the CD. Not so. The musicians literally drown him out. Love Clay, but the background music is just too much.

5 out of 5 stars A Retrofit of This "Bridge" is Inspiring.......2006-01-19

Clay Aiken takes this old classic from the treasury of Simon and Garfunkle and turns it into a near-hymn. Beautifully arranged and backed up by a full choir, this is a welcome addition to any collection.

5 out of 5 stars Clay's singing is awesome!!! Long analysis of arrangement........2005-08-28

Hi. Thank you for reading my review out of 2000+ others.

I give this recording 5 stars simply for the wonderful singing of Clay Aiken, which we all agree is amazing and beyond reproach. How did this guy remain anonymous so long until Idol discovered him? Well, even later rather than sooner, it was inevitable that talent this huge would "make it."

However, the reason for this review is to critique the arrangement of "Bridge," and I'm sorry to say that it comes up a little short.

I'll give the arranger some points: The arrangement is original and unique, and it's ambitious. It tries to be better than the original, and it almost gets there. But because of a few flaws it falls down and I'll label it "bombastic."

Problem #1: The build doesn't work. A typical pop arrangement starts off quiet and simple, and gradually builds to a hopefully shattering climax. The gradual build is key to triggering the "goosebump effect." You are enjoying the beautiful quiet verse and as the arranger steps it up just a notch, say by adding in a second vocal voice or introducing the strings in the second verse, your subconcious recognizes that build and thinks "Man, this is getting better than I expected. If it was great in verse one, and it's better in verse two, I can only imagine how good the final verse and chorous are going to be, and the finale is going to be incredible! And with that intangible and unproven expectation your imagination gets captured and everything comes together. However in this arrangement the arranger blows that and instead starts off from the first with an overly rambunctious loud choir and driving drums. He then continues to interrupt the build by turning the voltage up and down throughout the song. Loud intro, quiet first verse, loud chorous, drop it back down for the third verse, then turn it up again for the end. The end result is boring and a "just more of the same" effect.

Problem #2: The choir is too rowdy and obscures Clay's voice. That is just not allowed!!! Not with *my* Clay Aiken. Turn them down and don't turn them up again. I am paying money to hear the star, not a bunch of nobodies wearing purple robes.

Problem #3: Here is the crucial mistake: The arranger fires off his finale fireworks too early and is left with nothing with which to blow me away. In the chorous just before the third verse, Clay's soaring voice jumps off melody and hammers a few impossibly high notes several intervals higher than expected and we get the "money shot." Not only that, but the arranger drives the point home with hammering orchestra hits, even slowing down the tempo. It sounds just like a climactic ending. But as Clay finishes it up, the rhythm section continues playing, drops the voltage way back, and introduces the third verse. Your subconcious reacts: "There's more? That's not right. They're not going to be able to deliver more than what I just heard. Hmmm, I'm skeptical. It's either going to have to be something so great that it's never been heard before in pop music history, or it's going to be a letdown." Then the final climax is very similar to the one we just heard, slightly better, but not enough to deliver that "shattering" effect. Instead it delivers a "more of the same" effect, it's a letdown, and that ruins the entire thing. The original arrangement carefully built up to that climax and that was really the payoff of the whole song. This arrangement fails in this most critical place.

As I was listening to this song for the first time, towards the end of the second verse I recognized where the arrangement was heading. I paused it and remarked to my wife: "I see where this is going. The arranger has stepped the intensity of this song way up and he is trying to outdo the original. Well, the original depended on the climax, and if this arrangement is going to beat that, it will really have to deliver there. We'll see if he can pull it off." I then resumed the play. I was surprised to hear those early fireworks, and then the end just couldn't deliver.

Problem #4: After all of that, the final straw is the contrived finale. Clay sings the entire song. The lyric is done. The high notes have been hit. The orchestra has hammered the whole thing to a close, Clay's voice exits and the choir comes in to clean up the mess and close the whole show down. But the arranger throws in a few pivot chords and brings it back one more time so that Clay can blow us away. Clay comes back in, causing yet another mood swing and another increase in voltage, and hits a few notes even higher than before. Finally the song ends. It's just too contrived and obvious.

Now there's no reason that mood swings, voltage fluctuations, early fireworks, etc. can't work in the hands of a skilled arranger, but to throw all the usual rules of arranging away like this is going to require real skill and genius to make it work. Unfortunately it's not here.

To tell the truth, I never have liked this song. For one thing, the lyrics don't say much. They don't tell a complete story. What is "silver girl?" Is that a plane? Or is that a hypodermic needle delivering a drug as some have suggested? I did some research but couldn't find an analysis of the lyric, though I did find lots of people saying this is excellent song. I have always felt that the main value of this song is Art Garfunkel's high notes at the end.

Flawed, but pleasingly ambitious, arrangement aside, one thing is for sure, Clay Aiken's singing is a ten. And despite the finale not bringing about the intended effect, the final high notes are simply unbelievable. Whoever thought that this nobody could hit all those notes? I think he compares favorably to Art Garfunkel, or even beats him by a good margin. That's huge.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect.......2005-04-05

During the finale to the second season, Randy Jackson, I believe, said to Clay that when he first heard This is the Night (prior to Clay's performance) he didn't like it. Then, upon hearing Clay sing it, with perfect vocals and impressive poise, he Jackson changed his mind. He said something like, "Dog, you made it your own." Even Simon liked it.

Then Clay sang Bridge Over Troubled Water. Simon and Garfunkel are no slouches, but Clay's live performance, I'm sorry to say, topped them, and for the first time, Clay didn't seem remotely awkward on stage. He was at home, this was his element, and he ended the song with such potent punctuation that I find myself choked up and speechless. He threw himself into that performance with more gusto than I'd ever seen him muster during the season - and mind you, I was rooting for him from the beginning, and even if he was awkward on stage from time to time, I really didn't care. Still, this performance was astonishing. Simon himself said, "I think with this song you may well have won this competition". I was surprised and disappointed that he didn't. It would have been nice to see Clay's face in the opening credits of the third and fourth seasons of American Idol rather than Ruben with his ridiculous hat. (Just doesn't look good on a guy his size. Sorry.)

I was very happy that Bridge Over Troubled water was included on this CD, although I must admit that I wish it had been the live performance. Still, while the live performance topped Simon and Garfunkel, the recorded version was still excellent and did Simon and Garfunkel proud.

5 out of 5 stars A Clay fan.......2005-03-16

Well, it seems a little silly to write a review about a song that has been out for several years and has already had 2,128 online reviews written for it. But, I am slowly going through my CD collection and writing reviews for everything I own. Anyway, I am a Clay fan and I loved this CD the minute I bought it. I went home and played it over and over. Clay did a smart thing when he remade "Bridge Over Troubled Water". Instead of mimicking Simon & Garfunkel's haunting original version, he turned it into a powerful, emotional, spiritual song and made it all his own. If you are gonna remake a classic, you gotta do something to make it better or why even bother. The new song, "This is the Night", is also good, but seems pale next to "Bridge". Clay has shown the world that he deserved to win American Idol instead of Ruben Studdard. He likely would have won, except for the fact that the producers did everything they could to make sure he didn't win. Anyway, Clay is getting the last laugh now.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE IT!.......2007-06-24

I would never have been able to get this excellent album by Clay if not for a couple of wonderful friends who tried fervently to get me one. I love this Christmas album as much as his first Christmas album. One of my complains is that it had only 4 songs. I would have loved another full Christmas album by Aiken. My biggest complain is that there were so few copies produced. There are many fans that I know of who wanted this album but cannot get it and this has led to opportunists selling this cd at ridiculous prices. Can't more be made available from the label?

5 out of 5 stars All Is Definately Well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-12-20

Clay's Brand New Christmas CD: All Is Well is amazing!!!!!!! It features the songs from Clay's Joyful Noise Tour 2005. It features the songs All Is Well,Christmas Waltz, O Come O Come Emanuel and of course My Grownup Christmas List!!!!! This CD was flawlessly produced. It is amazing!!!!! My favorites on this CD are All Is Well and My Grownup Christmas List!!!!! Clay's vocals always seem to get better and better on each CD he makes. The glory note in All Is Well is held for 8 sec. I really love that glory note!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful!.......2006-12-14

Love all the songs, but I bought it for "All is Well, and "Emanuel." Surprisingly, I really like his take on "My Grown up Christmas List." The first time I heard that song was by Kelly Clarkson and I loved the way she sang it. Now I love it by Clay too. I would highly recommend this cd, but you won't be able to get it. It's all sold out. My sister heard mine and wanted it. I went back to the Walmart and they were gone.

5 out of 5 stars $23.00 + for a 4 song CD?.......2006-12-13

I totally agree with "acrl" how can anyone justify putting this up for sale for more than $10 the day it came out. Who in their right mind would pay that much for it? That being said, this far too brief recording is a fantastic holiday follow-up to Clay's tremendous Merry Christmas With Love. O Come, O Come Emmanuel is totally changed from the traditional. My one qualm (other than length) is the choice of My Grown-Up Christmas List. It is a glorious rendition, but it seems that most singers today have a recording of it. Happy Holidays to all (even to the Scrooge who wants to make a profit from the recording...Bah, Humbug!!

5 out of 5 stars Simply breathtaking!!.......2006-12-07

I feel so lucky that I was able to get this CD!! This is Clay Aiken doing what he was born to do. All of the songs are beautifully sung, but "All is Well" is absolutely amazing. I don't know of any other singer with such a vocal range who could even begin to do that song justice. This CD is a treasure and makes me hope that Clay will give us more Christmas music in the future. This one is sure to become a classic that will be played long after the Christmas season has ended.

4 out of 5 stars There's a reason why Neil cried that night..........2006-10-12

"The Way" is a fine song, but... The real story in this single is Clay's cover of Neil Sedaka's classic 1972 song "Solitaire" (written and recorded in the U.K., then later released in the U.S. on his 1974 album "Sedaka's Back"). If viewers will remember during the 2003 season of "American Idol," when the "theme night" came around to Neil Sedaka's music and Neil was the guest judge (they've since done away with this practice), Clay explained that "Solitaire" was one of his mother's very favorite songs, and she begged him to sing "Solitaire" that night.

Neil Sedaka is a very emotional man. He's been married to the same woman, Leba, for more than 40 years. He's got two great children that he adores--daughter Dara (with whom he had that great 1980 hit duet, "Should've Never Let You Go," and Dara is still a professional singer today) and son Marc. And at last count, he has three grandchildren.

But when something touches him, he shows it.

For only 90 seconds of a song that lasts about 4:30, Clay Aiken was able to take "Solitaire" and make it his own, and it was as if Sedaka had passed the torch of that song to Clay. The tears that Neil shed that night were genuine. His offer to produce an album for Clay notwithstanding, there was a real connection between the two.

Deciding to record "Solitaire" was a wise decision. Not putting the song on his album, "The Measure of a Man," was not a wise decision. However, bringing the song back as an off-CD cut and adding it as the B-side of "The Way" was a good decision, because people began buying the single not because of "The Way," but because of "Solitaire."

When it finally dawned on The Powers That Be--the record producers, the radio station promoters, Clay himself, etc.--to finally put "Solitaire" as the A-side of the single and promote "Solitaire" all by itself, it shot straight to #1 on the sales charts.

Clay Aiken--and Neil Sedaka--had a #1 song. For Neil, this was nothing new...but it was a great thing to happen to him in the 21st century. For Clay, savoring a #1 song is something he will enjoy for the rest of his life.

They're a great team. I hope they explore other songs together in the future.

I purchased this wonderful rendition by Clay Aiken to complete a display featuring all of Clay's recorded music. I already own this CD but wanted new and sealed for my display.

5 out of 5 stars New rendition of a popular old song.......2005-12-30

Although many artists have performed their own version of the song, "Solitaire", few have gained the acclaim by the song's composer that Clay Aiken did when he performed it on American Idol. "I've lost that song to you forever", Mr. Sedaka marveled.

From the heartfelt poignance of the words to the breathtaking "glory note" in this song, Clay Aiken totally controls the mood of this composition.

The accompanying track, "The Way", is taken from his multi-platinum first time album, "Measure of a Man". Hearing this song back to back with "Solitaire", is a complimentary CD that is worth having.

5 out of 5 stars Want Two Amazing Ballads? .......2005-06-17

You came to the right spot on Amazon. Clay Aiken has a powerful voice and you can hear this stunning voice so clearly on Solitaire, especially after four minutes when he sings out one note so strong it may move you to tears. I believe this is THE American Idol, regardless if he didn't win. I don't think there has been talent on American Idol even close to Clay's honestly. And I know people will disagree, but when I heard Solitaire, I knew this was my ultimate American Idol.
I do not mean to neglect The Way though, for this is a beautiful song as well that I love, although Solitaire is stronger indeed. Yet they both are amazing ballads and Clay's voice shines on both. If you love these two songs then go out and get his full c.d., because there are other songs worth recognition on his c.d. definitely. The problem is they didn't put Solitaire on his official album so I had to buy the single. Solitaire is worth the money though. You won't regret it! Clay is truly talented and I eagerly await more from him!

5 out of 5 stars Incredibly Gifted Vocalist - Terrific 2 Song CD.......2005-06-13

Clay Aiken performs brilliantly on this CD which includes "The Way" as well as the Neil Sedaka song "Solitaire". Clay is definitely one of the best male Pop recording stars in today's music market and is on his way toward becoming an all time great.

I can't believe no new Clay Aiken recordings have come out since December. Truly looking forward to the next CD.

I also highly recommend:

Those artist work just as hard as Led Zepplin or The Rolling Stones,who are played out. This CD is great, I'm 16 & I listen to Britney, Fantasia, & Mariah Carey (Who are all my favorite artist).

1 out of 5 stars Don't buy this CD.......2005-04-15

This CD is filled with the pop hits of 2003 and 2004. Almost all of them are not worth hearing more than once. The only reason you should ever buy this cd is because of Switchfoot's "dare you to move". So, instead of buying this cd, just buy "the beautiful letdown" by Switchfoot.

1 out of 5 stars The best compilation ever!.......2005-04-15

I love this CD! It has the best most talented bands and singers ever! Not only are the good bands only on MTV, but also Nick and every other kid network. I especially love the Clay aiken song; he's soooooooooooooo emtional and talented poseur bands like Fear Factory wish they were this good!!! It also has the bestest band of all times: Good Charlotte! Fo not buy any underground garbage, support the mainstream!
