A Thousand Different Ways, the follow-up to Clay Aiken's chart-burning debut Measure of a Man, trots out the kind of material a fleet-voiced former American Idol contestant can't help having a field day with: Aiken's version of Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" is bathed in a smoothness that renders it arguably better than the original; his step into Celine Dion's shoes for "Because You Loved Me" sees nary a stumble (no easy feat, considering it's a vocal obstacle course of a song); and his cover of Paul Young's '80s classic "Everytime You Go Away" comes across as a clean-sounding, much-needed update. More proof that Aiken ain't fakin' when it comes to being a stylish interpreter comes courtesy of his convincing carry-off of Dolly Parton's sweet "Here You Come Again," but where he'll earn the most merit points for this disc is with its four originals--"A Thousand Days" especially. Aiken has the kind of voice that makes listeners want to scoot close to the speaker. He may be a softy, but when it comes to trapping raw emotion in song, he's become a mop-topped man of steel. --Tammy La Gorce

The project, Aiken's first outing since 2004, combines 10 cover versions of well-known songs from the '70s, '80s and '90s with four brand-new songs. The album is a follow-up to Aiken's debut set, "Measure of a Man," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart and is certified triple-platinum, as well as the platinum-selling "Merry Christmas with Love," the best-selling holiday album of the 2004 season.

 Disappointed in RCA....... July 3, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I loved Clay Aiken since his first audition with AI. The songs recorded here are some of my favorites and Clay's vocals are great but the sorry orchestra drowns out most of his voice and the quality of this RCA production is terrible! It seems to me that RCA cut corners and assigned the cheapest orchestra they could find and the recording quality is really sorry! I am so disappointed that RCA couldn't produce a better product as they afford other vocalists.

I don't normally like covers, but Clay Aiken improved on every single one of these songs - better than the originals. His voice is golden, his style is incomparable. Pick up all of Clay's CD's while you're at it :)

I am enjoying this cd very much. Clay's voice brings life to these familiar songs and makes them sound new. Very easy to listen to.

 Classic Love Songs June 14, 2008

Classic love songs never go out of style, and Clay Aiken has the pipes
to sing the mess out of them. His strong voice shines in Without You;
he can hit the hardest notes that most other pop stars simply can't.
My favorite so far is Broken Wings......The poem that runs through the song is just amazing.
