The reviewer's complete disdain for Clay Gayken continues to amuse me.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
CLAY AIKEN
There is a line to be drawn with bad pop music. If
it's not at hearing high-pitched "American Idol"
runner-up Clay Aiken debase and disembowel songs that
didn't have that much going for them in the first
place, then where? His debut album, 2003's "Measure of
a Man," mainlined lite-rock cliches. Here, Aiken and
his new hairdo simply set the controls for sappy and
come up with their personal "Now That's What I Call
the Worst Music Ever 14," with covers of Richard
Marx's "Right Here Waiting," Foreigner's "I Want to
Know What Love Is," Mr. Mister's "Broken Wings," Bryan
Adams' "Everything I Do (I Do It for You)" and Celine
Dion's "Because You Loved Me." It's going to take
years of therapy and 500 consecutive hours of Dinosaur
Jr. to get over this one. -- Aidin Vaziri
