AIKEN'S VOICE MAKES MAN MEASURE UP

Review by A.D. Amorosi

In the war of American Idols, the porcupine-haired Clay Aiken placed second. But the Southerner showed off a diamond-cutting, Broadway-ish croon that emphasized upper-range emotionalism over simmering soul.

Take that, Ruben.

Aiken's voice makes Man measure up. Despite overcooked production and contempo-pap songs soaked in lovelorn lyrics that portray him as "Invisible," Clay belts with an earnest schmaltz worthy of Ethel Merman.

It would've been nice if his sultry lower register had gotten more use. But the beat-heavy "Touch" and the piano-driven "Perfect Day" prove Aiken has thrilling chops. A little seasoning, some corruption - who knows? He could be as deliciously decadent as Rufus Wainright.   

 
ALWAYS AND FOREVER-UNCONDITIONALLY!!!
