This isn't a very nice review.  All the others I've seen have been fairly positive.  And RS liked Kellie's.  Called it "surprisingly good".  Here's the review:

Two stars (out of four):

Idol rocker does go quietly into his career as a recording artist

"The debut from fromer American Idol semifinalist Chris Daughtry makes one thing clear:  Homeboy loves to rock.  Unfortunately, Daughtry shares a weakness for emotional overspill with his fellow Idol alums.  He wields his gruff, hair-flailing voice like a spandex-clad star on mammoth arena fare like "There and Back Again" and sleazy near-metal songs such as "What I Want," a rave-up featuring Slash on guitar.  But Daughtry gives in to bombast on a series of giant, aching near-ballads, including "Over You" and "Gone," a dark, Nickelback-worthy cut that includes lines like, "The day you turned on me is the day I died."  Daughtry gets points for not courting to soccer moms, but just because he can howl like a mother(edited) doesn't mean he's not a cheeseball."

The (edited) is...well you can figure out what it said.  Pretty harsh from Rolling Stone.  I suspect Chris' fans aren't happy with this.  Oh God...you know we'll be up in arms over any negative Katharine reviews so...I guess this is good to see.  I'm sure someone out there will be knocking Kat.

 


"I saw Katharine McPhee when there were about 12 contestants left on American Idol. She blew me away. I loved her grace, her style, her poise, her voice and her hair! I wanted her to be the face of Sexy Hair because she represented everything that I had in my head for the brand: youth, beauty, talent, class, a young sophistication, and sexiness." -- Jim Morrison, CEO of Sexy Hair Products.

Rolling Stone is the CD-buyers "bible". People rely heavily on their reviews and they carry a great deal of weight with the artists. This review is a bit harsh, but would tempt some to try the CD. We had better be prepared for some negative reviews of Katharine's CD; a review is only one person's opinion and you. can't please everyone, but it is to be expected no matter how great the effort will be. Rolling Stone pans Chris' album, but it sold 301,000 physical copies the first week.

This isn't a terrible review. Unfortunately coming from AI, they're all going to have to prove they aren't "cheese." The fact that they acknowledged Chris can really sing is at least something.
