Description
The wildly successful TV show AMERICAN IDOL continues to bea source of material for hit albums. After the initial AMERICAN IDOL disc, and the solo debut of IDOL winner Kelly Clarkson, you'd think that might be the end of the story. What should come sauntering along to prove you wrong but the SEASON 2 disc, featuring another round of well-scrubbed, perfectly pitched young vocalists bent on winning the hearts and ears of the US, whether you're watching them on TV or just listening to them on the stereo or radio.
There's a theme to this collection: classic love songs. Accordingly, Ruben Studdard delivers an impassioned version of the Carpenters' "Superstar", Kimberly Caldwell lays her sensuous pipes on the Roberta Flack hit "Killing Me Softly", and Corey Clark takes atrip into '80s power-ballad territory with a full-bore takeon Journey's lighters-aloft smash "Open Arms". At first listen, it's hard to figure where the bonus cut, Lee Greenwood's country flag-waver "God Bless the U.S.A". fits into the concept, but that's presumably where the "American" part of the show's name comes in.
