On his mature third album, American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken mostly sticks to the pop-rock songbook: over two-thirds of the 14 songs are covers of familiar pop tunes like Elton John's "Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word" and Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting." It's a power ballad-heavy set that plays to Aiken's emotive strengths, and the smooth arrangements effectively recast the occasionally cheesy originals. (For example, his version of Daryl Hall's "Everytime You Go Away" has a much less gimmicky setting than Paul Young's mid-'80s hit.) A THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS hints that Aiken's powerful pipes may result in more staying power than his Idol status would have previously indicated.
