Storm [Digipak] - Chris Watson & B.J. Nilsen

Advantages: 'With You', 'Damage', 'Fallen Angel' + many others
Disadvantages: 'You', and that's about the lowest point really

...the pictures of the cute couple, scroll to the bottom of my review, but be sure to rejoin me for the second paragraph once you're done. 'Exclusive' is the follow-up to Chris Brown's self titled debut album, and whilst this album did not have the same shock and awe factor that there was such a talented 16 year old around, the album did chart at #4 in the US charts - down two places on his first album. As far as us not recognising the young American's talents, this is representative of a #31 placing in the UK charts upon the global release in November '07 - that is also down two places in the UK chart to his 2005 album. Christopher Maurice Brown, who shall be turning 19 in May, does not have one of the most noticeable stage names in the industry now, but as an R&B singer there is no larger rising star that can lay claim to his dancing, acting...

Advantages: Nice voice. Acts his age.
Disadvantages: Bland at times. Pointless remix.

...Chris Brown serves up a fine album which bodes well despite the lack of similar tracks to his hit single "Run It!". Chris seems aware of his audience and never strays far from what a teenage girl would like to hear - which is probably its worst quality. From listening to it just once through you get the impression that Chris is around purely to make money.

Advantages: what a voice, great song writer
Disadvantages: none

...I only heard about Kurt Nilsen when I caught him on 'world idol'. he stood out from the rest immediately with his rendition of U2s Beautiful Day. He may not be the greatest looking artist (but neither are many others) but he has a GREAT voice and turns out he is a good song writer too. I bought this album in HMV for £3.99 and I was pleasantly surprised. I will get his other album 'I' which has his hit single 'she's so high' on it and 'Beautiful Day'. He deserves to be a big star , he is a great talent. I'm not a fan of the 'Idol' shows really and only watched it by accident but I'm glad I did. at least one good singer/songwrite has come out of them!!!... Read review
