Search - Emily Osment :: All the Right Wrongs

Fantastic! The only really mature album from a Disney star.

"I'm 26 and I'm I guy. Not one of those that can't stand the ever popular Disney style pop, but still one of those who doesn't like it to much. I have to listen to it because I have a lot of fans in my family. I find the "soundtrack" stuff - like the Hannah Montana CDs something for small kids only, Miley Cyrus's Breakout & new EP are much better and easy to listen. Demi Lovato's, Ashley Tisdale's & Selena Gomez's CDs are completely not my style, just way to loud pop-rock material. And Vanessa Hudgens songs are something I can't stand. So I was less then thrilled when another "Disney star" made a CD. But I had some hope's as this one was not under the Disney label. And it really is a blast. The songs are more rock with a bit of country then pop and appeal more to people of all ages. Also the texts don't show the work of the same crews and censors over again. I was very sad, when Demi Lovato chose to make CDs under the Hollywood Records label instead of following her own more rock sound. Emily didn't make that mistake and followed her own path. And the effect is great. People of all ages should enjoy this EP. Let's hope the upcoming album is just as good."

Amazing EP

"In Hannah Montana Emily plays Lilly who has NOO singing talent whatsoever, what I don't get is how the producers could hide her talent but showcase lame-o Mitchel Mussos! Emily is an amazing talent! Having had a hand in the writing of all the tracks on this EP! There is infectious pop and even a little country represented here! I Love "I Hate The Homecoming Queen"! She is a teenager with great potential, and a great voice! She should not be missed!"

My Thoughts on "All the Right Wrongs"

"When I first saw Emily Osment's CD, I was curious. After listening to the songs, I can say that it was better than I thought it was, however...



Okay, before I get to the actual CD, I want to comment on Emily's voice. While it isn't terrible, it's not very pleasing either. All the songs she sings are sort of in the same range and it doesn't take too much vocal ability to master them. Second of all, her voice is pretty weak, which I'll elaborate on later. I'm in a choir, and though I think her voice has improved, some of the songs like "Hero in Me" or "I Don't Think About It" just don't sound good. Plus, I think it's a mistake to constantly put harmony on a CD. It sounds good at the right parts, but when you put it in all the time, you can tell that the artist needs it to sound better.



All right, on to the CD:



"All the Way Up" - 3/5: I'm not really sure why this is the first single, because it's not that catchy and I find the lyrics rather shallow. I enjoy songs with meaning and "It's my life and it's a riot/Come on baby you can't deny it" is just... well... I hate to say it, but a bit pointless. Also, the way she repeatedly sings "All the way up" grates on your nerves after a while. I can see why kids like it though, since it's a guitar-driven track with a beat.



"Average Girl" - 2/5: Ahhh, another break-up song. I don't have anything against break-up songs, but when they get too angst-ridden or sappy, it's just not cool. However, I will applaud her for the different-sounding-country-like track. Her vocals are not bad on this track, just average (pun not intended). The lyrics are a bit annoying, though.



"Found out About You" - 3/5: This one's actually all right and the piano part at the beginning is catchy, but again, the break-up theme gets tiring. But I think this is one of the best performances of Emily's vocals. Still, overall not a stand-out track.



"I Hate the Homecoming Queen" - 1/5: Now this is the track that I truly despise. I know that seems dramatic, but I find this track really childish. The lyrics are just teeny-bopperish and pointless. Okay, I know I'm going to get slammed for this, but I hate it when people curse in a song for no reason. Sure, it's not terribly offensive or going to scar your kids for life or anything, but I just find it embarrassing. Same thing for "Found out About You". However, it's not the reason I hate the song, I just don't find the melody or lyrics pleasing.



"You are the Only One" - 3/5: I guess this is a love song, and once again, the beat is catchy at the beginning. But Emily's weak vocals get lost in the chorus and it gets slightly repetitive. It's an okay song, one of the better ones on the album.



"What about Me" - 4/5: This is the best song on the album. The chorus is very catchy and the lyrics are more meanigful. Vocals are okay, again, not great, but it's one of the best she's done.



All in all, this album was all right. Emily is definantly better than other Disney stars musically, but if she wants to achieve real success, she's going to need to work things out vocally.



Final score for album:



Originality: 3.5/5

Vocals: 2/5

Catchiness: 2.5/3

Overall: 3/5
