Is It Claymation?

R.D. Heldenfels of the Akron Beacon Journal says Clay Aiken is on a roll, “but at some point, to give us a measure of the man, he needs to put his own stamp on music.” He writes, “You could spend the rest of your days performing. I keep imagining you in a big-budget Broadway musical. You can probably sell lots of CDs, no matter how unmemorable they are. And this is where we face your problem. Even to some of your fans, ‘Measure of a Man’ is faceless, unmemorable pop. It could have been recorded with the same power by singers dropped much earlier in the Idol process.”
