I was watching a VH1 show today and was reminded of American Idol contestant Corey Clark during one of the segments. How easy it is to forget someone like him. Better yet, his debut album apparently only sold 9000 copies. What a kick to the groin that must have been. Or not. There’s a hilarious contest on his webpage in which contestants must create the craziest Corey poster they can. And, he’s still trying to hawk his tell-all book on there as well. What a life. Even better when your debut album goes into the bargain bins a mere two months after it’s released. But don’t listen to just my words. Dig some of these quotes from (mostly) obviously fake reviews on Amazon. The first one isn’t a fake, but is gut-bustingly good, anyway.
“Okay. Nevermind the ongoing debate over whether you like Corey Clark as a person or not. I am a fan of the show and therefore buy all the CD’s that the contestants release…I will buy any follow up CD that Corey puts out and hope I like it better. Whomever produces the CD should taylor songs to Corey’s strengths and vocal style. They just fell short this time.”
“It’s Too Little Too Late! Corey’s CD is being played on the radio as we speak. The one that seems to be most popular is Follow That Back with Kid. The video is being played on MTV now as well as other stations for Out Of Control and the young people LOVE IT!”
“Corey Clark is what is commonly referred to in the industry as a “triple threat”. He can sing he can dance he can write popular material. This point is evidenced in the fact that if you search Amazon for Corey Clark you will find him listed under POPULAR MUSIC. Popular! ”
“Sup to all true Corey Clark fans! If you ain’t heard Corey since the AI then you ain’t heard music! This 5-star extravangaza album signals a new dawn in the age of ryhtmic R&B soul music! It is as if Michael Jackson and Prince and had a love child and it was COREY.”
“Such quality is so nice to hear these days. I have been listening to a lot of new artist and Corey is the one! His music is unique yet pleasing to the ear. His voice is so clear and you can understand everything he is singing. The harmonies are out of this world. Wow! It’s been a long time since I have heard harmonies like these. Each song has it’s own agenda and they are all different. I can’t wait to see him on the grammy’s. So many big artists and musicians on this cd. Corey has it going on! Great job Corey. I recommend this to anyone who likes great music and vocals.”
“Who ever decided to help Corey put this cd together is a genius! SOOOOOO refreshing to hear real vocals for a change. I for one listen to this cd day and night. There are so many songs that are hit quality. I would like to hear more of him on the radio.”
