2 Artists Shine on This Album - Those 2 artists are: Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson, they are just amazing. Latoya London is good, but more than slightly boring. Diana Degarmo is alright, but makes up for it with personality-plus. The rest of the group are DUDS, sorry. Get Fantasia s album, and wait for Jennifer s to come out, which I m sure will be soon.
Don t Waste Your Time On This - Amazon is selling this CD for .93 cents, but don t waste your money on it. For .93 cents I could buy a postage stamp and a piece of Bazooka Joe gum. This is nothing but karaoke music and you re way better off just downloading the songs from the original artists. And Leah Labelle should have been 2nd runner up on American Idol. She had charisma, style, and a voice. I m waiting for her album to drop. So skip this and wait for Leah s album to come out.
John Stevens,Leah,and Camille are the best on this cd! - Those are the best three tracks. Give these kids time, they ll blow you all away! I liked Amy on the show but her voice was too whispy and dragged on too long.
American Idol - I saw them in concert, the CD is tremendous. A must buy for anyone that follows the American Idol, or even for those that do not, great music, well done.
I love what American Idol has done for singing! - As a professional singer and Voice Teacher, I am so thrilled to see how American Idol has given the art of singing such a jump start in these last few years. These American Idol CDs and programs are filled with so much varying talents. From Hard rock to Country, America is becoming interested in identifying true talent. As an Opera Singer myself I can still enjoy the gifts of other genres and am sad to hear when others look down upon the show. Also, as a voice teacher of many styles I can t stress enough the need to my own students for them to develop themselves as a Complete Unique Package. Finding their own true niche and style including: voice type, genre, best repertoire, to the the right audition outfit. American Idol teaches the same theories. Be true to yourself and your voice to get your best shot at this business of singing. I am an advocat for AI and all shows that encourage the high developement of arts in America. We come from a society that watched sports religiously on telievision (which is great) but there are so many talents to support including singing out there amongst us. American Idol gives artists and viewers a fantastic opportunity.
