Big fan of Vonzell Solomon - Since I m a big fan of Vonzell, I ve bought every Cd she s put out, and I found this great Christmas song she covered, it s possibly the best thing she s done, it s called Breaking For the Holidays and she sings It s gonna be a Cold Christmas and it s the sweetest christmas song ever!Breaking For the Holidays
Good Group - I remember this group being a good group. This was a good CD and most of the songs were good. The stand out songs were Independence Day, Part Time Lover, Total Eclipse of the heart by Carrie Underwood, Nikko Smith and Jessica Sierra respectively. Best of my Love was weak considering that Vonzell Solomom was one of the better singers this season. Constatine s arrangement of My Funny Valentine was hidious especially if you ve heard Stevie Wonder s version and Chaka Khan s version.
3 3/4 stars, actually - By Far the best-sounding group song from any season, When You Tell Me That You Love Me, is enough reason for me to give this album a good review. You also have Carrie Underwood in her element, and the 2 runners-up Bo Bice and Vonzell Solomon are very good as well. Nadia, Jessica and Scott are also good. I really wish that they would have done away with Mikalah and Lindsey, but oh well. Not too terrible. :)
A Good Album From (Mostly) Good Artists - I liked AI season four. Here s my grade for each one of the tracks.Carrie Underwood Independence Day This is Carrie at her best. She was the first country singer to win American Idol and this track shows why. ABo Bice I Don t Wanna Be Bo had a really great voice. He was actually my favorite in the competition. But this wasn t a good song choice. I much prefered his versions of Vehicle or Whipping Post. Still, Bo does great on this one too. A-Vonzell Solomon Best of my Love Vonzell had a lot of charisma, but I was not crazy about her voice. But she does surprisingly well here. I guess she sounds good recorded. AAnwar Robinson A House is Not a Home Anwar had a great voice and proves on this track that he should have stayed longer. ANadia Turner You Don t Have to Say You Love Me Nadia s blusey voice nails this one. I really hated the arrangement, though. B+Nikko Smith Part Time Lover Nikko does great on a hard song. What more can I say? A+Constantine Maroulis My Funny Valentine Agian, I hated the annoying arrangement, but loved the vocals. BJessica Sierra Total Eclipse of the Heart Jessica does beautifly on this rock classsic. A+Anthony Fedorov Everytime You Go Away Anthony is somewhat weak on lower notes, but he covers it well. BScott Savol Agianst All Odds Very monotone, mediocre vocals. Scott just isn t that good. Still, he tries, and for that he doesn t fail, but instead gets a D.Lindsey Cardinale Knock on Wood Lindsey does okay. The arrangement is great. CMikaylah Gordon God Bless the Child Mikaylah has a nice voice, but the arrangement is just stupid. B-Everytime You Say You Love Me This was pretty ok. C
a good cd - My favorites are Jessica Sierra, Nikko Smith, Vonzell Solomon, and Carrie Underwood. They were really good on this CD. The good ones are Anthony Federov, Bo Bice, Constantine Maroulis, Lindsay Cardinale, and Anwar Robinson. They were good but not great on this CD. The ones who weren`t so good were Scott Savol, Nadia Turner, and Mikaylah Gordan. They were bad on this CD. Overall this is one of my favorite Idol CDs.
