Clay Aiken - Measure Of A Man - Cd
Amazonレビュー
No one will lament the passing of the boy band phenomenon; now the American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken has released his first album. He's picked up right where 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys left off, not only borrowing Andreas Carlsson, the Swedish songsmith who penned some of their biggest hits (also using the services of other well-known popmeisters like Desmond Child and Cathy Dennis), but turning out the same type of impeccable over-produced and seamless creations that the Orlando pop mafia rode up the charts at the dawn of the millennium. Several years into the new millennium it seems like there's still quite a bit of life left in that zeitgeist, since Aiken's Measure of a Man debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. Well crafted and well sung, but at times lacking discernable personality or endearing idiosyncrasies, many of Aiken's tunes sound the same, whether he's lamenting the lack of love in his life ("Invisible"), reveling in it ("Perfect Day"), or supporting his fellow man ("I Will Carry You"). As a made-for-TV pop star, it'll be interesting to see how Measure of a Man measures up in the years to come. --Jaan Uhelszki

どの曲もハズレはありません。
特にTHIS IS THE NIGHTは初めて聞いたときには鳥肌がたったほどです。
こちらは輸入盤には入ってませんので日本版の購入をお勧めします。
確かに彼の良さをすべて引き出している曲ばかりではないですが、デビューアルバムが故ではないでしょうか。手に入れる価値はあると思います。
本当にいい曲ばっかりはいってます★☆
声もいいですっ(*^▽^*)
早く、日本に来日して歌ってほしーo(>▽<)o
特にinvisible&This is nightが好きです★
"Invisible"などのPOPナンバーから"This Is The Night"などのバラードまでを歌い上げる歌唱力は抜群。そのせいか英語の発音も凄く聞き取りやすくて洋楽初心者の人にもお勧めだと思います。"Invisible"のサビ…"If I was invisible, then I could just watch you in your room(俺の乏しい耳にはそう聞こえる)"を和訳すると『ちょっとえっちぃ…』と思うのは俺だけか?これからの成長が非常に楽しみなNew Singer!!
あった歌があまりに少ない。ロックテイストが若干強いすぎでエイケンの声をたのめない。しかし、バラードや低音で歌う曲は最高ーー
NEWアルバムの曲のwhitout youはエイケンの声を意識した
ロックバラード的で良かった。今後も売れることは間違いない
(will yungに勝るかどうかはまだ微妙?)
「アメリカンアイドル・シーズン5」のオーディションでは思いっきりクレイを意識して見事に撃沈した勘違い野郎がいましたが(笑)、これもやはり番組や彼の影響力があるからこそなのでしょうね。

Bien qu’acheté sur le tard en ce qui me concerne, cet album reste toujours aussi efficace et limpide, bien des années après. L’univers musical est très cohérent, très orienté Pop, de la première à la dernière chanson du disque, soit 12 au total avec celle mise en bonus, « This Is The Night », qui est le tout premier single de Clay, lorsqu’il est encore finaliste d’American Idol. S’en suivront le premier single officiel de l’album, sorti après la fin de la saison 2 de l’émission, « Invisible » véritable morceau pop à la dynamique imparable, qui fera un véritable carton, que ce soit en termes de ventes et de représentation à la télévision du chanteur ainsi que les deux autres singles « The Way » et « I Will Carry You », deux titres très puissants, qui sauront mettre en valeur sa voix si particulière.
Car on en vient à ce qui reste la force principale de Clay AIKEN, sa voix unique, capable de toutes les variations, doté d’une très solide signature vocale, il livre une interprétation saisissante de chaque titre qu’il fait sien, dégageant un rendu passionné ainsi qu’une émotion palpable.
Les autres titres de son album tels que « When You Say You Love Me », « Shine » ainsi que « Touch » dégagent des mélodies entrainantes, qui se révèlent très efficaces.
Les chansons « No More Sad Songs », « I Survived You » et « Perfect Day » apparaissent avec une légère teinte de Rock, chacune à leur façon, la première bénéficie de guitares électriques et d’une batterie pour donner encore plus de puissance aux arrangements musicaux, la deuxième ajoute des chœurs supplémentaires, qui viennent augmenter l’énergie déjà présente et la dernière présente une mélodie très rythmée, avec un refrain très accrocheur.
La seule ballade s’intitule « Run To Me », elle commence doucement et monte en puissance progressivement, accentuant encore la maitrise vocale de Clay, dont la voix rend une interprétation pleine de passion et d’émotion.
Enfin, « Measure Of A Man » qui donne aussi son titre à l’album, révèle une mélodie entrainante, dont l’énergie augmente en puissance, jusqu’à la fin de la chanson.
En conclusion, je dirai que cet album représente Clay AIKEN à son meilleur niveau. Son premier album est une franche réussite, très efficace et mettant superbement sa voix en valeur. Profitez bien des 46 minutes que dure l’album. Le seul regret est que cette version du CD n’inclut pas la chanson « Solitaire », présente sur la version US, qui est devenue la chanson « signature » de Clay au fil des années, tellement ce titre est magnifique d’émotion.
I am formally educated in music and vocal performance, and as a fellow singer, I can say that Clay has an absolutely beautiful voice. Unfortunately, this album doesn't flatter Clay's gift as much as it could and should. The songs are underwritten - the songwriters really let Clay down here, and it's a shame he couldn't get more of a handle on his own album. Many of them sound the same or very similar. I believe this kid has an amazing range of vocal talent hidden within, and he was very much let down by writers and producers just coming off of a bad guacamole binge or something.
Additionally, it is far too overproduced. I have listened to this CD several times, and have this vision in my head of Clay belting out the song gorgeously the first few times, but then being forced to do it again...and again...and again...until he was sick of it and ready to strangle himself out of frustration. I'd love to hear the 3rd and 4th take of each track. I've found links of his live performances, and he's wonderful. (Fear not, he is wonderful on this LP as well.) Somehow some evil producer sucked the joy out of him by making him rehearse this to death. He doesn't sound tired, it's just that sometimes the feeling behind the songs isn't there, and again, I wonder if it was pounded out of him by endless do-overs. It's a shame. I suspect that if Clay or an actually good producer were in charge, we'd have a different album here.
Still, Clay's voice is great, and this more than makes up for the overproduction and bad songwriting (btw, what is all of this against a "Broadway" voice? Is that so bad compared to other artists who cannot even sing, who shall remain nameless?). There are several really good songs on the album - "Invisible," while just a *tad* creepy lyrically, has a great hook and is fun to listen to while lending itself to lots of fun harmonies; I adore "Measure of a Man," which is one of the best-written songs on the album; "Perfect Day" is another fun listen; "No More Sad Song" probably gives us the best 'view' of his voice; and "When You Say You Love Me" is a subtle yet really terrific song (and ooooo, that voice!). I really wish this hadn't been made so quickly...something wrong happened here...Clay has an amazing gift, seems like a nice guy, and deserves better. If I were him, I'd be firing a few people for abject incompetence! I await his next album for the chillingly lovely voice, and with hopes for better-written songs and better production values.
Really, if you take nothing else away from this - Clay Aiken has an amazing, beautiful voice and that alone makes this CD wonderful. I just cannot get over his gift and its potential. I'd cheerfully cut a duet with him any day of the year!
Still, it seemed a bit like they were rushing to get this first album out and after the over-production on his single version of "Bridge" I had reservations about how much I would enjoy this one. Clay seemed to really shine on slow ballads, but I like fast, upbeat songs most, so hoped it would have a nice mix. Having spent a couple days almost non-stop listening to it, I can now say it does not disappoint at ALL! Not only does he have a very unique and powerful voice, Clay definitely shows he can do pop too! I am constantly amazed by the people that seem determined to put down this talented and wonderful young man, whether it's because he does not fit the music industries determination of what a singer should be, or merely because he has come to rise to fame from appearing on a TV show.
A quick rundown of the songs:
1. Invisible - Great start to the CD, a nice cover of this song and apparently will be the first single off the CD. The background vocals work nicely here.
2. I Will Carry You - I did not care as much for this ballad the first time I heard it on GMA, but it kind of grows on you. Definitely shows his excellent range.
3. The Way - One of my favorite songs on the CD. A great pop ballad.
4. When You Say You Love Me - Has an interesting country feel to it, but one of my favorites too, faster than most of the songs on the CD. Great to sing along with.
5. No More Sad Songs - Another slow ballad, I didn't care for this one much. If I skip any song on the CD it's this one. Just a little too cliche and nothing interesting about the song.
6. Run to Me - Of the ballads on the CD, this is probably my favorite. Really shows his power.
7. Shine - Another typical ballad. It's okay, but I would have liked something better here.
8. I Survived You - A more poignant ballad. He pulls it off nicely, I like this one a lot.
9. This is the Night - A great song, his first single from the show, but I tend to skip it as I want to hear the new songs for now!
10. Perfect Day - A little more "edge" to this ballad. I like this one a lot.
11. Measure of a Man - The title track has a bit of a religious feel to it, which is fine with me. I like it a lot, it's a very sweet song and it seems to be a bit of an anthem for him, as he insisted on it being the album title.
12. Touch - Ends the album with a more rock beat, an upbeat, dance song. Nice.
Overall, not many songs I really don't like, although I certainly have my favorites. A great first album, can't wait for the next!
