Measure of a Man by Clay Aiken (CD, Oct-2003, RCA Records USA)

Why did I buy this one? I had this one and lent it to my mom and so needed another one! Originally? Because Clay's someone all generations, both genders and pretty much any "type" of person can enjoy, believe it or not. Regardless of stupid 'net "chatter", I have yet to meet ANYone who has actually listened to this CD who has not liked it, and Clay. He has a beautiful voice, unually well-controlled vocal range, and this particular CD has a great song selection for him. The arrangements knocked me out - very professionally done. Even his new CD of love songs can't hold a candle to this, as it's more like nice covers whereas this one sounds more like breakthrough songs (even the hidden Solitaire). and, the new one's backup vocalists, added duet vocalist, and musical arrangements and also mixing are all inferior to Measure's. Clay is unusual, adept, smooth, and really loves what he does and does so well - and it's obvious on this CD. Don't listen to any nay-sayers - just give this one an honest spin, more than once if necessary - he's worth it. Listen carefully to the timing, the mixes, the background vocals, all of it. This is a job well done and somehow doesn't come off like just some marketing "perfection" or "creation" - he's the real deal.

Clay Aiken's debut... I wasn't sure what to think, I tried to stay away from American Idol records but when I heard "Invisible" on the radio, my resolve melted and I purchased the cd... and I'm very glad I did :).

Clay has a beautiful/powerful voice... unlike some artists out there, he's truly talented. He puts his heart and soul into each and every song... There isn't one song on this that I hate.

Once he draws you in, you won't let go :).

No offense to Ruben fans, but I believe Clay should've won the contest.

I couldn't recommend this CD any higher, I believe Clay will be around for a long time to come :).

This cd is definitely worth a listen! I knew I had to buy it when I first heard "Invisible" on the radio. His voice is so breathtaking.

There is not a song on this cd that is bad, all of them are excellent. This is something that you can just listen to over and over again.

If you already have this cd I would encourage you to get his cd single with the song "Solitaire" on it. It's just beautiful. He hits a lot of great high notes with perfection. Plus the song itself is beautifully written.

I love Clay Aiken. It arrived promptly without any incident. Seller was careful with shipping. Thanks.

I bought this cd because I liked some songs on it. I gave it a an average because I felt it was just average. I didnt like all the songs on it. Though I enjoy the sound of Clay Aikens singing voice.

I wanted the Clay Aiken CD but I didn't want to pay full price and I wasn't picky about buying a used one. The tape came perfect as advertised and I just love it. I am buying many CD's on ebay this way, now.

This a wonderful cd! Clay Aiken has a voice that is like no other! If you have not given this rare talent a chance,you owe it to yourself!

thanks, cd plays great, thanks for the quick shipping...A++++++ would buy from again, no problems at all

Soothing music. This was the first release which I didn't have. Clay has improved with each release.

When I first saw Clay Aikens compete on American Idol I loved the way he sang and have since then loved his music. Every time a new album of his comes out I will probably buy it. I really do thing he is a good singer

I looked for this cd and could not find it. I like Clay Aiken's singing and the cd was in good condition.

I already had this one, and had almost worn it out! The price was great, and combined shipping from the seller on a few items I wanted help make the sale. Ebay rules!

I absolutely love this cd. This man has a GREAT voice. Recommend this cd. I definitely will be buying more cd's from this artist. Check it out!

Clayy aiken should have won end of story.
If only for this album. The songs are chamring and catchy.
its almost guaranteed ur heart will flutter.

I had wanted this CD for a long time and when I saw it on Ebay the price was terrific so I indulged myself. The CD was exactly as described on Ebay. The transaction went smoothly and the seller was terrific. No problems whatsoever!!! LOVE IT STILL !!!!
Thank You Ebay for being there !!!

I love Clay Aiken. This is a great CD. I bought this to replace a CD that was lost. I love all the emotions in his music.

Clay Aiken's first CD is a joy to listen to. He will develop into quite the vocalist. An enjoyable and relaxing sound. Music that can touch your heart. I'm not a fan of American Idol, but this is an artist that will be around for a long time.
