5.0 out of 5 stars A great surprise!, May 24, 2006

This review is from: American Idol Season 5 Encores (Audio CD)

this cd has some very nice vocals on it...i don't think any of the tracks are bad... my favorite and the strongest track imo is Moody's Mood For Love by Elliott Yamin... he has a remarkable voice and shines on the track...chris daughtry's vocals on Wanted Dead or Alive shows why he will be a great rock artist..The 3 that surprised me the most were not my favs on the show.. Ace Young sounds just great on Father Figure,, Melissa Mcghee sounds just fine on her track and i really liked Lisa Tucker on Signed, Sealed, Delivered.. weakest track is by katherine mcphee but its not awful, just a tad shrill... Paris and Mandisa have strong vocals also and have a great musical future ahead of them...

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars are due to Elliot's song, May 24, 2006

I am pleasantly surprised by many of the songs on here. Funny thing is the people who I wasn't too enamoured with are the ones who blew me away. Ace and Melissa "wowed" me with their performances. Bucky's version was awesome too! I will definitely buy a CD of his.

The top artist is Elliot as far as I am concerned. His song gave me CHILLS and I keep listening to it over and over. It's a travesty that this soulman isn't our 2006 American Idol. He is MY American Idol and he has a fan for life.

I also have to note that the other songs are all great with the exception of Kevin and Katharine. Will be skipping past those.

4.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best AI compilation CD to-date, May 23, 2006

This review is from: American Idol Season 5 Encores (Audio CD)

It's no secret that this year's crop of "unknowns" have been the best of all the seasons. The show's maturity has a lot to do with that. I've listened to snippets of the other previous season's compilation outings, and they pale in comparison to quality of the vocalists from this season (with few exceptions). My most favorite track is Elliott Yamin's "Moody's Mood For Love." Simon Cowell was right on the money when he complimented this gentleman by stating that he is "the best male vocalist [the show] has ever had." Elliott's vocal genius and mastery are evident in this track, and there is no doubt in my mind that this "blue eyed soul" should would be signed to a contract very soon. My second favorite is Taylor Hicks' "Taking It To The Streets." It's easy to overlook Taylor's rich voice from being too distracted by his at times strange stage histrionics. When listening to his voice only, it is clear why this soulful gentleman is in the Final Two. All of the other tracks are enjoyable (again, with few exceptions) but were not as standouts as these two tracks were. Overall, a great CD to own (or download).
