Hmm let's see

1. Kelly Clarkson Breakway - A+
I really love this CD. Every song is listenable, and I love the edgier side of her. I have about 5-6 favorites just from this CD itself. It's just amazing.
Favorite Song - Because of You, Hear Me, Behind These Hazel Eyes

2. Clay Aiken [/i]Measure of a Man[/i] - A
A very good vocal CD. I liked a lot of the songs as well.
Favorite Song - Run To Me

3. Kelly Clarkson Thankful - A
The singles were great, and I liked some of the other songs too, but there were some that didn't really hit me.
Favorite Song - Anytime

4. American Idol 2 Compilation CD - A-
Just a very very good CD. The thing was... the good ones were really good, but if they weren't good, they were bad (Kimberley, Trenyce, etc - I didn't really like theirs). However, it was a good CD overall. Everytime I listen to it, it brings back memories :D
Favorite Song - Killing Me Softly, On the Wings of Love

5. Diana DeGarmo Blue Skies - B
Vocally, it's great, but some of the songs are just... not in the ballpark. "Then I Woke Up" was just painful lyrically, but there are some good songs (Emotional, Cardboard Castles, Go on and Cry). I hoped for a bit more variety, or something similar to the early Christina Aguilera material, but it's a bit more focused on the lower demographic. She sounds great in every song, so that's a plus :). It's pretty good for a first CD.
Favorite Song - Cardboard Castles

6. Kimberley Locke One Love - B-
A good-ish CD. I liked "Eighth World Wonder", but a lot of the songs were just okay.
Favorite Song - Wrong

7. Tamyra Gray Dreamer - C+
I liked it for the most part, it was listenable, but I didn't LOVE any of the songs too much. It was good though.
Favorite Song - Star

8. American Idol 3 Greatest Soul Classics - C
The problem with this CD was that a lot of them sounded very karaoke-ish. Nobody really added anything to allow them to "own the song" (except for LaToya, Jennifer, and some of the others).

Eh. That's all I can think of right now.

Ok well, I didnt buy everyones albums, so Im just going to grade the ones I have. Also, tomorrow I am (finally!) picking up Diana's CD.

1. Measure Of A Man: Clay Aiken - A+
Favorite song: I Survived You
But, what did you expect, this is my favorite album ever :lol:
2. Breakaway: Kelly Clarkson - A+
Favorite song: Breakaway, Walk Away, Gone, Behind These Hazel Eyes
This is one of the best CD's ever and Im so glad her 2nd album wasnt a disappointment
3. Thankful: Kelly Clarkson - A
Favorite song: Beautiful Disaster (though nothing beats the live version), Miss Independent, Just Missed The Train
Baah I just love the whole thing!
4. One Love: Kimberley Locke - A
Favorite song: Coulda Been, Its Alright, Without You
I love this CD. I think the reason why its so great for a debut CD is because it was on a different label and she could be more of herself

Others:
Merry Christmas With Love: Clay Aiken - A+
Favorite song: Dont Save It All For Christmas Day
Ok, so Im not to big on the songs he chose, but he sang them amazingly, and seeing them sung live was just 1000x better

Favorite AI single:
1. BOTW/TITN - Clay Aiken
2. Dreams - Diana DeGarmo

Errm ok thats all I have -.-

I cant wait to get Di's CD tomorrow, and I kinda wanna get Josh's sometime because I love I Wanna Live
