52 Kelis

Niklas from Gotheburg, Sweden thinks that Extra Ordinary Love song was for Britney's In The Zone album, just with some diffrent lyrics, because Darin is a boy, which may have been fixed by Robyn and Patrik Berger. Niklas also thinks that Max and Rami and Robyn wrote some other songs that didn't make it to In The Zone and another could be Celine Dion's Love Is All We Need. Very interesting!!!! Thanks Niklas!

81 Simple Plan  
82 Skye Sweetnam This album is fantastic! This is the best Idol album I've heard. To me this album is very Justin Timberlake in Sexyback mode but way better!
83 Solid Harmonie
84 Stanfour Of course I love Extra Ordinary Love and I think it would have fit in perfectly with Britney's In The Zone, but Darin sings it so great so I'm not complaining. I love also love Saturday Night - very upbeat and funky. Homeless is a sad ballad and very dramatic which is classic Jorgen Elofsson. Everything But The Girl is also fantastic. Well, I just love this album.
85 Sugababes
86 Taio Cruz
87 Taylor Swift I'm guessing for the song Saturday Night that P. Alderheim is Per Aldeheim and that the r is a typo. It is produced at Maratone, so it's gotta be?
88 Tobias Regner

Overall this album is actually pretty good. One of the best 'Idol' cd's I've listened to. Highlights are:

Stand By Me - a perfect pop song (but not bubblegum)

I Can See U Girl - one of the best pop songs I've heard for a long while

Encore Otra Vez, I More Time - a mysterious ballad

Give It To Me, The Anthem, What is Love, The Way I am, What You're Made Of - uptempo songs

On True Flame (co-written by Jorgen Elofsson) - a sweet ballad

Coming True (co-written by Jorgen Elofsson) - typical Idol ballad - very dramatic!

Note: This cd is pretty hard to find on an English speaking website that sells Cd's. I bought mine from www.gemm.com
