    I think Ace Young looks like Michael Hutchence of INXS when they were popular in the late 80s early 90s.

    He really came into his own following the show. Great job, Ace. Absolutely excellent album.

    (btw, the chorus to It's Not Over is actually the best - and catchiest - part to the song!)

    I just can't believe this guy isn't so popular. Imo, he's released the BEST album from ANY of the American Idol contestants. I just don't get it, this guy sings BETTER than the likes of Timberlake and has FAR better songs (a throwback to the 80's; when music was REALLY good!) and he's not getting recognized for it. Such a shame...what a waste of amazing songs that won't be heard. Addicted, The Letter, A Hard Hand To Hold, Fast Life and How You Gonna Spend Your Life - some of the best music I have heard this year. It kinda has the feel of an 80's Michael Jackson album at times - good stuff!

    Half of the songs are surprisingly really good. I can't stand a couple though, but this is much better than I would have ever expected from him.

    Aw I think ace is super cute! "Addicted" is really catchy and I think a great single for his new album. It's coming out soon so hopefully he'll get more street cred.

    i'm not a huge fan of his, i don't watch american idol, i just happen to hear about him from a fan, and he did write the chorus of it's not over he came up with it in 15 minutes, the melody was already there when chris sung it, ace wrote the words to the chorus.
