American Idol Season 4 - The Showstoppers
By:
List Price: $7.99
Amazon Price: $0.10

Few would risk making guarantees when it comes to a hodgepodge of a disc like Showstoppers, but one thing is for sure: it's bound to become the only CD in your collection you bought knowing full well you would have to hold your nose through certain tracks. That, of course, is the fun of the American Idol franchise: You may love Carrie Underwood's rootin'-tootin' version of Martina McBride's "Independence Day" but loathe Anthony Federov's syrup-soaked rendition of the '80s chestnut "Everytime You Go Away"; you may swoon over Bo Bice's Grass Roots-style vocal on the Gavin DeGraw hit "I Don't Want to Be" but find yourself making the gag-me gesture when Mikalah Gordon steps up to the mike for a Streisand-aping take on "God Bless the Child." Call it a lowbrow musical twist on the famous theatrical formula "You will laugh! You will cry!", but instead of laughing and crying you will love and hate (then again, laughter and tears could enter into the equation after a close listen to Constantine Maroulis's "My Funny Valentine"). The final cut, an ensemble number, puts this amateurs' jumble into perspective: given the right producer, anybody can sing, even those Simon Cowell would sooner see at a cut-rate karaoke bar. --Tammy La Gorce

Well produced and great sound.
Some of these Idols can sing. What ever you think of the show, you can't take that away from them they have great voices. The CD is great and gives a great range of songs and voices.

American Idol Season 2: All Time Classic American Love Songs
By:
List Price: $13.98
Amazon Price: $0.49

Amazon.com
Interested in visiting your favorite contestants from the second season of American Idol? Then this is the album for you, but be forewarned that something is lost in the translation from the small screen to the compact disc. Simon Cowell's scathing comments and Paula Abdul's head tossing add to the human drama; without those visual embellishments, the recorded version falls flat. Sure this is a talented bunch, but the material is mundane, with few of the finalists straying from the traditional arrangements. But when they do, it's sometimes worse. Ruben Stoddard's rendition of the Carpenters hit "Superstar" reeks of misplaced sincerity. The best cut on the disc is Kimberly Caldwell's throaty cover of Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly With His Song," which gives the song some well-needed grit. And while Julia Demato's voice is no match for Etta James's full-bodied version of "At Last," Demato gives the classic a fetching kittenish spin. --Jaan Uhelszki

List Price: $13.98
Amazon Price: $1.16

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
2 Artists Shine on This Album
Those 2 artists are: Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson, they are just amazing. Latoya London is good, but more than slightly boring. Diana Degarmo is alright, but makes up for it with personality-plus. The rest of the group are DUDS, sorry. Get Fantasia's album, and wait for Jennifer's to come out, which I'm sure will be soon.

Tomorrow is Independence Day. And Independence Day is a uniquely American holiday. It commemorates the day on which our Founding Fathers, after more than a year in the Continental Congress debating the issue of independence from the British Crown, finally compromised, and one by one rose to take the quill pen in hand in order to append their signature to the document written by Thomas Jefferson, our Declaration of Independence.
