I was drawn into the phenomenon that is American Idol from day one. After watching all those hopefuls (and hopeless) winnowed down from thousands to a very deserving top 10, I feel like I know every one of the performers on the "Greatest Moments" CD. When I received the CD (a day before its release date -- thanks, Amazon.com!), I immediately threw it into the player and sat down for a critical listen. Here are my thoughts on a track-by-track basis. (The opinions expressed below are solely those of me!)
1. (You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman - Kelly Clarkson. Marvelous, but she doesn't go for the two-octave jump that she did during the show (which is just as well, because my dog probably couldn't take it!).
2. Respect - Kelly Clarkson. Good, but the song got worn out during the finals.
3. For Once In My Life - Justin Guarini. He has such a pretty voice, but the emotional depth is missing during the first half of the song.
4. Get Here - Justin Guarini. His signature piece -- no room for improvement! I would probably listen more to a Justin CD than a Kelly CD because he's so sooooothing!
5. Piece Of My Heart - Nikki McKibbin. Better than I thought it'd be. She cleans up real good! :)
6. A House Is Not a Home - Tamyra Gray. She was my favorite, and I will definitely buy her CD when it comes out. Amazing.
7. Lately - RJ Helton. I don't think he deserved half the criticism that he received. He has a fine voice and a very nice delivery. (We won't talk about his dancing skills.)
8. Ain't No Sunshine - Christina Christian. Definitely a standout performance.
9. If You Really Love Me - Ryan Star. Eh. The song showcases her lack of range -- great down low but missing the important upper register.
10. My Cherie Amour - A.J. Gill. In my opinion, the weakest vocally of the finalists. There's just nothing there!
11. I'll Be - E.J. Day. A very nice tenor when he's not going over-the-top with the vocal gymnastics.
12. Easy - Jim Verraros. Why oh why did they have him sing this song? It's so boooring! I never thought he was as bad as the judges did, but then again, I didn't get to hear the rehearsals!
13. California Dreamin' - The Finalists. Definitely improved from the show version. No fake strummin' on the guitar by A.J. this time!
14. A Moment Like This (Bonus Track) - Kelly Clarkson. Boring song, great voice.
15. Before Your Love (Bonus Track) - Kelly Clarkson. Ditto.

The tape was a gift to my daughter. It arrived in good shape and works just fine.

I have always been a huge fan of American Idol, and was very thrilled to have them release a CD with studio versions of their "best" songs. The song selection is kind of weird, because for some of them, I thought they sang other songs better.
1. "(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman" by Kelly Clarkson: Awesome, she sounds great and she's always been my favorite. This song started her popularity. 5/5
2. "Respect" by Kelly Clarkson: OK, this song was performed quite a few times on the show, she sounds great, and it sounds like she's having fun with the song. The sad part is it is a little over 2 minutes long, so short! 5/5
3. "For Once In My Life" by Justin Guarini: He sounds really good here and I really, really like this track. I didn't really like Justin but once I heard this, he is pretty cool in my book. 5/5
4. "Get Here" by Justin Guarini: I am sorry but this song bores me to death. It has nice singing but its so long and its frankly very boring. 2/5
5. "Piece of My Heart" by Nikki McKibbin: Apparently, when she sang this, she wasn't voted into the bottom three. I don't remember, but yeah, it's nice, rock is not my kind of music, but it's nice to listen to once in a while. 3/5
6. "A House Is Not A Home" by Tamyra Gray: Very good voice. I remember when she performed this, Paula cried and Simon told her it was like Whitney Houston. There's a lot of emotion in this song. 5/5
7. "Lately" by RJ Helton: He sounds good, but the song bores me. The first few times I loved it, but it's really getting old. He's very talented though. 4/5
8. "Ain't No Sunshine" by Christina Christian: I find myself skipping this song. I never thought Christina was that great, but she has a nice voice. Unfortunaely, that freaking vibrato got to her... ahhh I remember when she sang "When a Man Loves a Woman" it nearly killed me! Anyways... I'll give this a 3/5
9. "If You Really Love Me" by Ryan Starr: Or Tiffany Montgomery, if you're her mom. She sounds really upbeat and into it. Though she stills wears those horrible ripped up outfits, she is a good singer. 4/5
10. "My Cherie Amour" by A.J. Gil: Ah, the lil' boy bander. He is a real cutie and he was only seventeen on the show. he had a very nice voice for a 17 year old. He sounds like a little boy on this song, and it's so cute! But, when he goes "La la la la" it sounds really weird and... I don't know. 4/5
11. "I'll Be" by Ejay Day: His face scares me, and I didn't remember him, or I didn't see the one episode he was on or something. I am not feeling this at all, he sounds like a girl and he sounds very disconnected to the song. People think he sings really great, but he sounds like a girl. 2/5
12. "Easy" by Jim Verraros: I remember him in the top 30 and his glasses and his funny little faces when he sang. Umm, well, I have found myself skipping this...... 2/5
13. "California Dreamin'" by all of them: Nice, they sound like they're having fun. I remember when they sang this in front of the campfire... hahaha what will they think of next 5/5
14. "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson: Lookee here, a "bonus track" you can buy on a [money] CD! Well yeah, it's a good song, questioning lyrics (is it about a boy or the show?)but hey Kelly can make any song good. 5/5
15. "Before Your Love" by Kelly Clarkson: pretty much same as above. Luckily, the lyrics are clear here, and they're sweet. 5/5

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on April 3, 2007
今では、日本でもそのファンを増やしつつあるアメリカンアイドル。プロ級のパフォーマンスと歌声で初めて番組を見たときは興奮しました☆このCDは第一回目のアイドルたちのCDです。アイドルたちの中には今をときめくケリークラークソンがいます。・・が、私のお勧めはタマイラ=グレイです。彼女は第二のホイットニー=ヒューストンと言っても過言ではありません!!そのほかにもカリフォルニア・ドリーミングなど、日本でなじみの深い曲も入っているので、誰にでも楽しめると思います☆ぜひ、この機会にアメリカの素人(もうアイドルですが・・)たちの実力の高さを感じてみてください!!

去年の12月号のSEVENTEENを読んでてKelly Clarksonの事を知ったんやけど、このCDは買う時まで試聴した事が無かったんで彼女がどんな歌を歌ってるとかは全然知らんかったにゃ いざ試聴してみたら、バイト先の店内の有線でよく流れてる曲やったのさ すごい歌唱力やなぁ、これ一体誰が歌ってるんやろう・・・って曲かかる度に思いはしてたねんけどね 試聴に感謝 ボーナストラックとしてKellyのシングル2曲入ってるし!Kellyのみならずこのアルバムかなりイケテルし!ホンマに!
