"This is a wonderful mix of favorites that showcases Clay's magnificent voice, and that both established fans and casual listeners will enjoy. The sound quality is excellent and makes me wish all of his albums could be re-mastered!"
Perfect collection - Amazing price!!

"What an amazing treat this release is. There is no other artist that can take a song and make it his own with intense emotional readings and a vocal range that soars and has no limits like Clay Aiken. He has released some albums that display his true gift and versatility but as with any artist there are always standouts on each release.
Here we are given the very best of Clay Aiken and combined it produces a track list that is perfection. The greatest addition is his spellbinding rendition of BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS which before was only available as a single. To have that together with SOLITAIRE, THIS IS THE NIGHT and ON THE WINGS OF LOVE is amazing. Listening to a collection like this that spans all the years of his career shows strongly that he has only gotten better over time. The later tracks like ASHES, ON MY WAY HERE and THE REAL ME display the true musical craftsman Clay is as he makes each song a true emotional journey. And one of my favorites MEASURE OF A MAN is here as well.
I think that creating this PLAYLIST SERIES which will provide the greatest hits and best tracks of artists at a great price is a wonderful idea. If you were to download all these songs from their various sources and put them on an ipod or even a disc the clarity of each source would vary. Here we get all the tracks digitally remastered superbly for the greatest listening experience possible. This cd is a must have for all Clay Aiken fans but it also serves as a great introduction to anyone who wants to explore his music. I also highly recommend this cd to anyone who values true quality music for few artists possess the musical talent and interpretive skills of Clay Aiken.
Highly recommended."

"Nicely remastered. Sound is great, especially on the quiet songs like The Real Me and Something About Us. A great Walk Down Memory Lane for fans, a terrific best of to give a new fan or someone you would like to introduce Clay Aiken to. What a wonderful voice from someone so young. On the Wings of Love was recorded in 2003 when he was only 25!"
Nice Collection

"This is a nice collection representing Clay Aiken's recording career so far. I especially appreciate getting the remastered version of "On The Wings of Love" as I particularly like his version of the song. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is definitely much better than the original single. At this price, getting this collection of songs is a bargain. I highly recommend it."
Beautiful sound

"I played each song off of the original, then off the remastered CD. The remastered CD has a deeper, richer tone than the original, with different portions of the tracks getting a bit more or less sound than the originals. I loved Bridge Over Troubled Water when he performed it on American Idol, but on the original CD, who ever produced it, had the choir totally drowning out his voice in parts. Not so in the remastered version. "Mary Did You Know" and "Something About Us" are stunning and two of my favorites. The quality of sound on this CD is fantastic. I'm tipping my hat to those at Legacy for a CD with breathtaking vocals and sound."
