Blake Lewis-A.D.D. (Audio Day Dream)
American Idol was really looking down at the start of 2006, especially when Chris Daughtry's elimination infuriated over 100,000 fans and had them all boycotting the show. The show went on, however, as it should have, because we wouldn't have had talent in the next year. Which was creatively found within Mr. Blake Lewis. His beatboxing and smooth pop voice was a breath of fresh air within the stalement that Taylor Hicks left behind. Blake's self-esteem and great creativity allowed all the "youngins" to vote for him; but only to get him to 2nd place when he threw the competition in the end, trying to allow Jordin to win so that he would get a better record deal-which he did! "Audio Day Dream" is definately one of the coolest CDs to listen to, and is truly a competitor when it comes to BEST CD OF 2007. The music is fresh. The music sounds so much like a bunch of my favourite artists combined. The CD kicks off with a random intro which is kind of unnecessary, but flows into the single which we mostly know (playing on the Reviewin the World MyPod). Then we get a fresh and sassy beat from "Gots to Get Her", which is a truly stand-out track that the CD produces and invigorates the body with fresh dance tunes. "Know My Name" is next, which features newcomer Lupe Fiasco, who gives it a nice "will.i.am" touch. The song is still quite great though. "How Many Words" comes next, which is also good to listen to, and yet again, freshens up the CD. Followed by "Surrender" and "Hate 2 Love Her" which both sound sort of similar, but still pack a big punch on the CD, "Surrender" being one of my favourite songs. Than comes "Without U", which has a nice tone, but takes some getting used to. After that quiet tune, we jump into "Here's My Hello" and "What'cha Got 2 Lose" which are both 2 of my favourite tracks on the CD because of their upbeat and vibrant tones. Than comes a beatboxer track known as "She's Makin Me Lose It", which is poppy but as one of the most amounts of beatboxing on the disc, making it the best dance song. "BShorty Grabs Mic!" is next, and is the first track to fail in my eyes. The song is all beatbox, but sounds kind of retarded. I'm pretty sure that it is freestyle. The next 2 songs "End of the World" and "1000 Miles" are really good tracks, but thy don't stick into your head. Than finally "I Got U" is a catchy tune which sounds very radio friendly and catchy. Than there's a useless outro. But no one cares for those things.
Overall, this is a FANTASTIC CD- miuns the intro, outro and B SHORTY GRABS MIC! crap.
BEST SONGS: Gots to Get Her, Here's My Hello, Surrender, What'cha Got to Lose, She's Makin Me Lose It
