4.0 out of 5 stars Actually Quite Good!, April 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: American Idol season 3: Greatest Soul Classics (Audio CD)

If nothing else, buy this CD to hear Camille. Her track is surprisingly good. John Stevens' voice sounds very rich in his track; it was a good choice for him. But, frankly, they're all good. I agree with the other reviewers that the ensemble track is a real treat -- it definitely proves Fantasia's and George's vocals are the most powerful (not even sure I can distinguish anyone else).

Most of them perform as expected. The greatest surprise is Camille Velasco, who does a really wonderful job here in contrast to her disappointing numbers on the show.

I wish them all luck as they embark on their respective music careers.

This review is from: American Idol season 3: Greatest Soul Classics (Audio CD)

I am not going to compare this season to any other because it has been very different. The worng poeple have gotten voted off multple times( Amy and of cource the amazing jennifer hudson). The guys this season have not been very good, and some of the poeple whom showed be in the top 12 were not(like nicole tieri). However this cd is really good so here is my review of each song.

1. Chain of Fools - Fantasia Barrino - Honestly she does not sound very good on this track. Sometimes i really like fatasia and sometimes i think she sounds like macy and on this song she sounds like macy gray alittle to much for comfort.

2. Me and Mrs. Jones - George Huff - Oh Huff you picked the worng song. His voice does not sound very strong and his personality does not come thru.

3. I Heard it Through the Grapevine - Diana Degarmo - Diana is my favourte in the top 5 right now, she is young yes, but has a amazing voice and is a great performer but this song doesnt show that. Dont get me worng she does a great job on this song and her voice is strong but i just dont think it showed off all her talent.

4. If You Don't Know Me By Now - La Toya London - Wow!!! Latoya did amazing! She sounded like a pro on this track and sang it flawlessly.

5. Neither One of Us (Wants to be the First to Say Goodbye) - Jennifer Hudson - AMAZING!! Jeniffer was the best singer in A.I.3 but was voted off because poeple are stupid, and to me this track will just show you what you are missing.

6. You Make Me Feel Brand New - Amy Adams - When i first heard this song i had to see who the singer was and i couldnt beleave it was amy. I wasnt a huge amy fan when she was on the show, though she was good, but after this song i am a huge fan!

7. (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay - Matt Rogers - Why would he sing a song george is known for singing? It just doesnt make sense to me. It sounds just ok, nothing special.

8. Midnight Train to Georgia - Jasmine Trias - I was very surprised to hear this track by jasmine, she really did a great job and had alot of passion, good for her!

9. My Girl - Jon Peter Lewis - Again why would he pick this song when john stevens is known for singing it. It just doesnt sound very good. His voice is to deep to sing this song the way it was ment to be sung.

10. Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do) - Camile Velasco - Major props go to camile! She really had to prove herself to people on this track and she did. Her voice came off very strong and you could her the passion in her voice.

11. Betcha By Golly, Wow - Leah Labelle - This is the best track on the album, and the biggest surprise. I did like leah but i didnt think she was as good a singer as this. Her voice is very strong and beautiful.

12. You Are Everything - John Stevens - Ok people i know he is a nice guy but does that mean he can sing? Well maybe. I was excpecting this song to really sound bad and....well it didnt. His voice came off very soothing, very frank sanatra-ish. Thats the only kind of genre he can sing, which is ok.

13. Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Ensemble - This is not a ensemble song! It came off very scattered and just wasnt a good song for everyone to sing.
