CHRIS DAUGHTRY, "Daughtry"Read reviews on Katharine McPhee's latest and more right here.
He said: With more than 2.5 million copies of this disc sold, Daughtry is surely the valedictorian of last year's class. Staying true to his rocker roots was a smart move, and his gutsy vocals give muscle to the hit "It's Not Over" and the gritty "What I Want." Still, the disc also points up the problem I had with Daughtry on "Idol" - a failure to bring much distinction to his songs. But since the guy's disc has already gone platinum, does he really care what I think? 3.5
She said: The fourth-place finisher's debut effort is rock solid and likeable on the first listen. Daughtry's voice ranges from hard and loud on "What I Want" to honey-dripped on this season's "Idol" elimination ballad, "Home," and "What About Now," probably my favorite cut. It's no wonder that the CD's first release, "It's Not Over" quickly rose to No. 1. Yes, it is that good. Hard-rock purists might dismiss the entry as not distinctive enough, but I brand it near-perfect. 5
ELLIOTT YAMIN, "Elliott Yamin"
He said: Yamin channels his inner Donny Hathaway on this super debut. The funky "Movin' On" and the soulful "Wait for You" are made all the sweeter thanks to Yamin's honey-coated vocals. But dawg, what's with the words "train wreck" peppered throughout several of the track? 5
She said: Not being a big fan of vocal runs - it's like nails on a blackboard for me - I wasn't a supporter of Yamin's R&B "Idol" stylings. Still, I found his CD more likeable than expected. I wasn't enamored with his cover of Donny Hathaway's "A Song for You," but the upbeat "Alright" was a pleasant surprise, as was my other favorite cut, "Find a Way." 3
