1.0 out of 5 stars 1-1/2 stars -- Flop goes the weasel, January 28, 2006

I would just like to clear up something right away: I am not a Corey Clark hater. Although it's clear that he took the wrong approach in announcing the Paula Abdul situation, I really don't care whether or not he actually had relations with her (although the song about it, "Paulatics", is quite embarrassing -- for him, not Paula). All I care about is whether or not the music is good, and Corey's self-titled album proves that the music is indeed NOT.

The main problem with this album is, point blank, Corey cannot sing. In fact, the only song that's even tolerable on here is the very last one, "Bed of Roses". And except for that song and "Look What You've Done to Me" (a clumsy tribute to Beyoncé), everything on the album is about sex, and the lyrics are even stupider than the lyrics on R. Kelly's TP.3 Reloaded. Check "Out of Control", a song that made it obvious that Corey should never be allowed to write an entire song by himself again.

Most of the songs are pretty terrible, but lyrics especially fail in songs like "Cherry On Top", which has the chorus: "Ooh, like a cherry on top/Put your body on top of mine." There's also "Truthfully", which begins with "I want to be a part of your clothing/Preferably your G-string." (Seriously, ladies, would that turn any of y'all on?) And even when songs appear to be going well, they don't. "So Many Questions" crashes and burns beginning at the second verse, and the only saving grace to "Follow That Back" is a rap by Christopher "Kid" Reid (yes, you read that right).

Not even the remake of DeBarge's "All This Love" can save Corey Clark. People know who he is now, true, but this album is so terrible that it won't be long before it finds itself in the bargain bin along with Frankee and Young Rome's albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars KC Music, July 14, 2005

By 

KC Entertainment (Nashville TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Corey Clark (W/Dvd) (Audio CD)

I have been in the industry for some 35 years. After the last ten years of rap, cursin, killin, gettin my gat, hood rats. It's finally a pleasure to hear a young man with old school backing, singing beautiful harmonies, sweet messages and dynamite lead vocal ability. I have purchased 2 copies of Corey Clarks CD and I gave one to a close friend, who continues to thank me for exposing him to such a dynomite musical adventure. Don't get me wrong I'm not putting down the rap scene, because it has been a vehicle of financial security for so many young artists. It is so refreshing to finally hear a young artists mainly Corey Clark sing, harmonize and telling love stories. It gives music a refreshing new face.
P.S. Check it out for yourself. KC entertainment Music City, Nashville, TN

2.0 out of 5 stars Every song sounds the same..., January 3, 2006

This review is from: Corey Clark (W/Dvd) (Audio CD)

Every song on this CD seems to sound the same. It's like 15 tracks of the exact same song writing formula. There's a few songs that I liked, but nothing I plan to run back to anytime soon. Corey has such a great ability with his voice - to sing in a wide range, which makes me wonder why the heck he sounds like a woman on every song. He always had that great high register, yes, but he wasn't ONLY the high register on American Idol. This CD is very boring.
