Yep he is trying to be the sister sisters on half the songs and it waaaay to over produced. Half the time he sounds like a robot which im guessing is not the aim here?!

What's with all the covers. Poor Joe well & truly stitched up by Cowell.

Why is he autotuned when he so obviously doesn't need it? They've completely effed up his career. I'm so disappointed.

I'm guessing the song 'Wide Awake' is a Ryan Tedder song? Sounds like one of his. Surely people are sick of his style now?

This album is very bizarre. Not sure who this is going to appeal to.

I like some of them. It's a decent effort and at least it was different to what people thought it would be.

Oh dear, I wasn't expecting greatness, but this is just rubbish. Couldn't they have come up with something better than these generic poppy throw away sound alike songs. So disappointed as I really rated Joe on X factor, and he's such a good natured guy.

(Amazon have removed the samples)

Here's a YT link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X53LTvKIeTw


They're really ruined Joe here...

None of the preview links are working I'm actually quite interested in hearing this now, despite not liking Joe on X Factor. Ambitions and Real Late Starter are both great songs, so if the rest are equally good, it could be a really strong album.

Sounds very disappointing tbh, I'd prefer it if he went the direction of Ambitions the whole album, not obscure covers of minor hits in the US and UK

What were the covers (apart from The Climb and Ambitions)? None sounded familiar to me, although I wasn't paying much attention.

I honestly think this album will have similar sales to Leon's. I just don't know who Joe will appeal to.

Real Late Starter is a Nerina Pallot single taken ffrom her album "The Graduate" - it wasn't a hit unfortunately

I can't believe he's covered Nerina Pallot - I really like Nerina.

None of the samples work and the YT links are all coming up as "private".

I'm really curious to hear this album - i know the single is horrendous, but i'm still open to the album.
