...sure how many times I need to hear some of those songs sung poorly, but it's great television. And the bottom line is, there are some really talented people. Kelly Clarkson is a really good singer. It's not the kind of music I usually listen to, but she's got a really good voice. It's nice to see someone make a career from that show...
...songs are heavy—see “Black Waves/Bad Vibrations.” This heaviness prevents the album from achieving the range of highs and lows that made “Funeral” so compelling. “Neon Bible” can be hard to listen to twice in a row, in part because it’s so determinedly somber. That one can get through repeated listens at all—especially with lyrics as bleak as “I’m standing on a stage / Of fear and self-doubt / It?...

That is, the album is still distinctively RJD2, but in his latest release the turntable auteur moves farther away from his hip-hop roots and toward a more indie sound.

...course, some of the repositioning was inevitable, and most of it was long overdue. Even if Bush and Cheney didn't want to listen to the polls on the home front, they couldn't ignore the few allies they had left overseas. Britain's Tony Blair announced a partial pullout from Iraq last month, and then moderate Arab neighbors in the region began to clamor for Bush to pull up before he crashed. On Wednesday, King Abdullah II of Jordan made an impassioned public appeal in a joint meeting of Congress for Washington to take the lead on Middle East...

The abductions were tragic - as anyone would know who has heard the elderly parents of abductee Megumi Yokota tell of their daughter, snatched near her home at the age of 13 by North Korean agents, never to be seen by her family again. But under Abe the quarter-century old kidnappings are increasingly taking precedence over the North Korean nuclear program on Japan's foreign policy agenda - and that is not healthy. His administration has connected Japan's tough sanctions against North Korean trade not to nuclear weapons...
