When it comes to being a skinny, big-smiling teen-ager who can whip pop music fans into a frenzy with a mere toss of his excellent curls, let's face it: Corbin Bleu has competition. If Bleu is not the only TV-launched singer to revitalize both leave-in conditioner sales and puppy love in 2007, though, he is the only one with a shot at being taken seriously by critics. Another Side, his first album post-High School Musical and Jump In!, the Disney Channel movies that made a household name out of him (at least in households inhabited by 8- to 15-year-olds), is pretty much what you'd expect--a high-energy hybrid of pop, R&B, and hip-hop. Consider "Push It to the Limit," the song that propelled the Jump In! soundtrack and closes this disc, an on-ramp to the bubbly Bleu sound. Don't discount what separates him from the pack of post-Disney Channel singers wishing upon stars for pop-chart domination, though. His vocals, a pleasing mash of Michael Jackson and Jesse McCartney, make him a contender for a long-term career in music. --Tammy La Gorce

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun album!, October 1, 2007

Corbin Bleu's first album is surprisingly fun and catchy. I liked both Deal With It and Stop back to back. The album has a strong consistency, though it does wear thin after track 8 before picking right back up in the end. Corbin has shades of Michael Jackson in his singing and his falsetto sounds quite good. All this from someone who didn't watch High School Musical. He sounds good on his own away from the movie. These songs have more muscle than some teen pop and match well to Corbin's style. They definitely make you dance!

My son is a really big Corbin Bleu fan and refers to him as "the cool guy." This CD is the main one he likes to listen to while riding in the car.

I am the mom of 2 sons, 10yrs & 12 yrs old who love the Disney Channel. We bought this album after seeing Corbin in Concert. The album is well produced, and well if your kids are a fan of Disney and High School Musical --this album is a plus to have. The songs carry "good" messages, you don't have to worry about the lyrics. Corbin Bleu is a 'clean cut' role model for my sons, and I patronize his products. And, I enjoy listening and dancing to the music too!!
