A MUST BUY!!!!!

"I can honestly say that I am not a person that gets "star-struck" by artists, so I find myself in a very unique position here. When Clay Aiken sings "Solitaire" it goes straight to the soul. Absolutely incredible ---- you HAVE to listen to this song to believe it! Since singles are relatively inexpensive, you definitely owe it to yourself to pick up a copy TODAY!!!! You will agree it was money well spent - I'd bet the farm on it."
CLAY AIKEN THE NEW POP SOUND

"I BELIEVE WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW POP SOUND OF TOMORROW. THE PURE SINGER, WITH NO SPECIAL SOUNDS OR COMPUTER GENERATED NOISE TO CHANGE HIS VOICE. JUST BEATIFUL PURE MUSIC LIKE IT SHOULD BE. I THINK THIS GUY HAS A VOICE THAT CAN MAKE YOU FEEL IT TO YOUR SOUL. THIS IS ANOTHER POWERFUL AND TOUCHING SONG AND CLAY AIKEN HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST AWESONE SINGER IN MUSIC TODAY AND THESE 2 SONGS THE WAY & SOLITAIRE PROVE HIM TO BE JUST THAT."
Clay shows the other Idols The Way to sing

"The Way isn't my favourite song on his album, but presumably most people buy this single for Solitaire. If you liked how he sung it on American Idol you will absolutely love this. It's beautifully sung as one would expect from Aiken, but the production is also very good. Also, if you have heard this song on the radio, at five and a half minutes this version is actually quite a bit longer. I would recommend this even if you don't usually buy singles."
The most moving piece of music I have ever heard

"Yes, I am a Clay Aiken fan, so of course I knew I loved "The Way", but I had to have "Solitaire", after hearing Clay sing a short version of it on American Idol last season. After listening to it for the first time, I am completely, utterly blown away. I got chills, tears in my eyes, and even my husband seemed very moved (although he'd never admit it!) The range, power, and beauty of Clay's voice is simply unparalleled by any other "pop" star out there today. Everyone should do themselves a favor and buy this single, sit back for a listen, and prepare to be affected in a very deep and powerful way. Bravo!"
REVIEW CD - NOT BASH ARTIST

"I am amazed at the hate that is directed at this fine gentleman, Mr. Clay Aiken. I love the talent, the voice, and personality of this man. However, our place here is not to evaluate who Clay is or what kind of a person Clay is. We are here to review an album, not to use this opportunity to bash him. So having said that, I wish to still maintain that this single, which includes the songs The Way and Solitaire is an excellent cd and Clay's performance on these two songs warrants more than 5 stars."
