First of I have to say Michael Johns does not disappoint with this debut cd, this is a very solid effort and I commend him for it. This cd is amazing, and every song is worth listening to more than once.
Let me start off by saying that Brooke's official debut cd is great, and her voice is better than ever. I haven't posted this review yet because I haven't had the time and I'm also a little lazy about when I do post blogs in Idol's off season. I have already posted my breakdown on Daughtry's new cd so please feel free to leave comments. I got two other new cd breakdown's coming this month, Michael Johns and Jordin Sparks, and coming in November will be Carrie Underwood's, cd review of Play On. Then it will be time to move on to, Kris Allen, and Adam Lambert official debut cd's, and in december, Allison Iraheta. Now the track by track review of Brooke White's official debut cd.
