 | | Clay Aiken, the runner-up on the second "American Idol", released his first album, "Measure of a Man", a mere five months after the close of competition and two and a half months before the winner, Ruben Studdard, released his record. |
 | | Clive Davis, smart man that he is, decided to play up Clay's MOR bent on "Measure of Man", never pushing Aiken toward club-ready dance cuts like "Miss Independent," or trying to approximate the sound of the Matrix or Neptunes on any cut. |
 | | Even so, it's perfectly suited for this safe MOR album, and while none of the songs really catch hold, it doesn't matter since the sound of the record is pleasant and perfect for radio, which will please both the preteens and housewives, which is all "Measure of a Man" needed to do, anyway. |
