Talk:Why Wait (album)

Should Ken Barnes's review even be here?
Kristy Lee Cook, Why Wait: * * -- Musical wallpaper

Cook’s signing to 19 Entertainment and Arista Records (where she spent about six months as a teen) ranks as one of American Idol’s great mysteries. After all, the woman gave some of the most disastrous performances in the show’s history, ones Simon Cowell described, not inaccurately, as “whiny,” “terrible” and “horrendous.” Working with Brett James, who produced Jessica Simpson’s latest and co-wrote Jesus, Take the Wheel, Cook avoids the kind of embarrassments she visited upon the viewing public on an almost weekly basis last season. She does, however, return to her strength — a cover of Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA. That, plus the year’s pettiest country single (15 Minutes of Shame) and eight songs that could form the foundation of a mediocre Lorrie Morgan album, brings to mind one of Cowell’s more generous assessments – “musical wallpaper ... you notice it, but you can’t remember it.” We should all be so lucky. — Brian Mansfield

Ok look at this despicable review. This guy is talking about her past in idol and none on her current album. It is pretty much clear that he didn't even listen to all her songs. 2 stars simply means substandard and I am 100% sure her album is no where near substandard. We should call this a professional review? I can find a better and comprehensive review from a casual buyer. This review should not be here at all cost.
