Shayne Ward

Shayne ward's 2nd album is FANTASTIC ! OMG his vocal range ! I m amazed ! love " breathless"," until you " , " you made me wish " m & so many more !! a must listen album after his successful debut album : thats my goal !

I purchased the CD for the single Breathless and found that most of the songs were great!

This is an awesome CD. I don't know why he does not come to the US. His voice is amazing and the talent is awesome. Shayne is a true singer and artist. I think every song on this CD is GREAT!

Shayne Ward's newest album makes no pretense. Brit pop as you expect it to be, with its upbeat tempo and cliche lyrics, this album is my new guilty pleasure.

After falling in love with Leona Lewis, I decided to give another X-Factor contestant a chance and don't regret it one bit. Shayne Ward has a wonderfully refreshing voice and can hit those high notes without skipping a beat. If your a fan of nice, mid/up-tempo jams, this album is definitely for you.

1. No U Hang Up - A nice electro/synthesizer beat on this song will have you tapping your feet from the first note. A great opener.

2. Breathless - A great love song about a lover leaving him breathless. I love the subtle beats that carry this ballad along. Shayne's voice is nothing but emotion on this song.

3. If That's OK With You - An upbeat song that's as fun as it is catchy. This song would make a perfect American summer jam. It has that "sunny" vibe to it.

4. Damaged - When Shayne starts this song off with that high note without making you cringe, you begin to see why this man is pure talent. When the reggae vibe kicks in you almost forget he's singing about getting "damaged" from a past love.

5. Stand by Your Side - Not really a fan of this song. It has a really 80-ish vibe in my opinion, not that I don't like that. Maybe I just don't like this song in general. Decent song, but dismal compared to the rest of this wonderful album.

6. Until You - A sweet mid-tempo ballad showcasing Shayne's beautiful voice.

7. Some Tears Never Dry - A really good up-tempo song with a great beat and catchy chorus. Its lyrics describe two lovers that seem to be "falling out of love" but he just wants another shot at it.

8. Melt the Snow - One of my favorites on this CD. The subtle, bouncy electro-vibe to this mid-tempo song about watching a woman in a bad relationship from afar is excellent. A great song, hands down.

9. Tangled Up - The "other" song on this album I just can't get into. This song has a disco feel to it that just doesn't seem to find it's way into the flow of this record. Honestly, I've not finished this song from start to finish.

10. Just Be Good to Me - A decent song with a nice up-beat tempo about loving a girl with a not-so-great reputation. Not one of my favortites, but it's still good.

11. U Got Me So - I hate to say this, but this song definitely has a "Justin Timberlake" sound to it, but not a bad way. It works. It's got a nice up-beat R&B feel to it that really works with Shayne's higher pitched vocals. I really like this song.

12. You Make Me Wish - Starts out with some synthesizer and builds into another nice up-tempo jam about seeing a woman and then wishing he didn't have a girlfriend anymore.

13. Tell Him - Starts out with a really nice piano run and turns into a really good classical sounding R&B song (is that possible..classical R&B) about a cheating woman that hasn't told her current lover about it......yet.

All in all, this album really showcases everything that is good about Shayne Ward. It's a crying shame he's not had any stateside success. Pick this CD up and you won't look back.

Shayne has a outstanding voice, each songs in this album are beautiful. Enjoyed from the very beginning to the end. Everyone love real music, love beautiful melody and touching words should love this CD.

All i can say is the guy can sing. I heard the Over The Rainbow and i was pretty much hooked from the jump. I actually felt it when he was singing and when Shayne hit that high note. I was like yes this guy is for real. The cd is on point for the majority of it. Only two songs that i didnt really care for out of 13. So that should tell you that its a pretty good cd. The songs are soothing and just give you good feeling not only about them. But about the person singing them. His debut is a pretty good one and look forward to more of what he has to offer in the future. I believe he has another cd coming out sometime this year if i'm not mistaken.

But as it stands right now...check this one out. It will keep you more than occupied for quite awhile.

This is a way above average debut album for a youngster like Shayne. I do not skip a single track when I play this cd - and I play it often. I own 1,500+ CDs including Operas, Piano Concertos, Trance, Country, and a lot of Foreign Language music. Shayne Ward has a great future ahead of him - if he can stay in good management's hands. My favorite tracks are #3 "Stand By Me" & #11 "Better Man". If you like the music and singing of Irish Band "Westlife", you will be ecstatic about this cd - buy it!!!

I came across Shayne Ward as a fluke while surfing through myspace one day...and it was by far the best fluke I've had in a very long time. This CD is absolutely amazing... It is definitely one of those CDs you use for a romantic evening for two... I HIGHLY recommend it!

Shayne wards debut CD is a must have, he has an amazing voice and the songs are just very pleasant to listen to. i would recomend this to anyone

Very talented artist. WInner of the 2005 X Factor (sister of American Idol)competition in Great Britian. Great voice and super vocal range. His live version of "Over the Rainbow" is spectacular! His 1st single "That's my Goal" was number 1 quite sometime in Europe. This package inculdes a DVD set of some of his hits plus his 1st cd titled, Shayne Ward. Great songs on the cd. Some are remakes and done very well. I am sure we will be hearing much more from this talented young man.

A voice from heaven. This album is great. The DVD realy sold me! I'm looking to buy move of his albums.

I am extremely glad that I stumbled upon this gentleman's music! I have to admit to listening mostly to the first three tracks, but the rest of the album is just as great! The accompanying DVD is a bonus!!

This CD is awesome it has been so long since I love all the tracks on a CD, however this is so good. the only tracks I didn't 100% care for were the live proformance tracks, he was off key on the song I thought he whould nail "If your not the one". Since these were bonus tracks it won't effect my score especialy since it came with a great DVD of video's and a "Making Of". I wil be keeping a sharp eye out for more of Shayne Ward!

Let me tell you, Shayne Ward is just one of those pop singers who only go by looks, if he looked like shrek he would not be anywhere today, face it girls your only buying this because you fancy him.
Look at Justin Timberlake, where is he today, they go and move on, and thats what Shayne will do except alot faster.
This song is so rubbish, the thing I hate so much is that he didn't even write this!
So its not his own material, and let me take you in on a little secret he does not care about this song, its not like these lyrics mean anything to him, as he did not write.
And on "No Promises" thats even worse than this, yes he might of wrote it I don't know, but does the song have depth, or is it just a plain old expected pop song.
By the way it's the second one.
Shayne Ward has no protential, neather does anyone who comes of X Factor, its all just one big [...]

That he is the just winner of the X Factor award Shayne Ward has proved on the bigger stage. "That's My Goal" is a great track that reveals the degree of talent that this Manchester lad possess. This song clearly brings out the 20-year-old's ability out to the world.

So what is he is good looking. He is a talented singer and That's my goal is a positive and uplifting song. I can't wait until he releases a full album.

And this year's crud-fest winner, the person who received the most votes from every brain-dead glossy eyed plankton watching ..... who even CARES anymore?

Yet another drone pulled off the production line, this gimp being another in the long run of Inoffensive Handsome White Boys, aimed primarily at stupid people and, judging by the popularity of this single, there are an awful, awful lot of.

So let's talk about the single. With the exception of the excrement that was last years winner (Steve Brookstein, currently Missing In Action - yet another one-hit wonder who we'll never see again) first (and only) solo attempt - the dire Phil Collins cover, this is easily the worst actual attempt at a SONG yet.

Originally planned for Westlife, "That's My Goal" was panned and rejected by them (THEM! Westlife!) for being too weak, but it sure wasn't weak enough for Shayne Ward, currently number one for the fourth week running as I type this.

But what does that MEAN, exactly? I'll tell you - nothing. The general public are SUCH idiots, such pathetic, "tell us what to buy and we will" easily led cretins, that they would buy ANYTHING after seeing it on a reality program. Shayne Ward could have released a record of him whistling the Marmite theme and it would have gone straight to number one.

And it's going to continue, isn't it? This was a massive hit, the show was a massive hit, so we're going to continue to be bombarded with bland, generic singers and pointless songs like this. If you BOUGHT this junk, or if you WATCHED this junk, The Curmudgeon holds YOU personally responsible. You should be ASHAMED of yourself for bringing yourself down to the gutter masses, watching this easily-digestible pond-life program, and buying its cynical, disgusting products.

One day, I hope to live in a world where television is not swamped by reality television, where TV schedules and budgets are not ruled by programs aimed at the great unwashed, where the charts are not in the vice-like grasp of dire TV talent show winners (and losers). That, ladies and gentlemen, THAT, is my goal.
