Aaron Carter Album: “Most Requested Hits [Japan Bonus Track]”

Awesome. Here are my ratings, ten the best, 0 the worst.

1. Aaron's Party (come get it)--Fun. This is really funny and I like it. 9

2. I Want Candy--Young Aaron at his best. Another fun one, but better than Aaron's Party. 10+!

3. That's How I Beat Shaq--So-so. The intro music is really annoying, but for kids 6 or 7, it's good. 7 1/2

4. Oh Aaron--I have mixed feelings about this. This is the funniest, cutest, and most innocent that you will get in pop, but No Secrets is abominable on the chorus! 9

5. Not Too Young, Not Too Old--Perfect song for ages 11-14. His rapping is smooth, perfect. 10

6. I'm All About You--Yes, fans! Aaron sings ballads, too! And beautiful ones. THIS ONE ROCKS!!! 10+++

7. Leave It Up To Me--It's a lot like No. 5, so I like it, but the lyrics are a bit arrogant, like "Mom & Dad, they're getting on my nerves..." But good. 9

8. Another Earthquake--Good AARON!!! This is alright. 8 1/2

9. To All The Girls--One of my favorites. THAT IS SAYING A LOT!!!! Beautiful song. 10+++

10. Summertime--I don't really like the Baha Men, except for "Who Let The Dogs Out." But they make it interesting. 7 1/2

11. Do You Remember--Beautiful, Aaron. Luv this 1. 10

12. America A O--BEST PATRIOTIC SONG THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!! THIS ROCKS!!! 10+++

13. She Wants Me--The lyrics at the beginning are funny, but I don't get the rest of the song. 8

14. One Better--ANOTHER FAVORITE!! THIS IS NO DOUBT THE BEST!!! 10+++++++++

15. My Shorty--I like it. 8 1/2

16. (bonus remix)--It's a remix of my most recent favorite. Luv this 1 2. THIS ROCKS!!! 10+++++++++

This is a great sampling of Aaron Carter's recordings on Jive Records. I have been a fan of Aaron ever since I first heard the song "Aaron's Party" on the "Now 5" compilation. Many of the best songs from his previous three CDs are included, along with four new tracks. There are two versions of "One Better". Track #14 features a piano and string accompanyment which allows us to hear Aaron's voice in the forefront with minimal electronic processing. The hidden track #16 has a heavier accompanyment. The bass and rhythm are more predominant, with additional guitar and keyboard embellishments. The two versions sound quite different and I enjoy both. Track #13 is the Aaron and Nick Carter duet "She Wants Me" from the "Twister Moves" game. It is a playful exchange between two sound-alike brothers fighting over the same girl. Track #15 is "My Shorty". There are some strange popping sounds at the beginning, presumably to simulate the sound of a phonograph record. Aaron's vocal is a fast staccato with several background singers delivering the line "My Shorty" in harmony. About two minutes into the song it sounds like Aaron is singing "My Shorty" into a bullhorn. This track is quite complicated from a production standpoint. The lyrics are quite a tongue-twister and Aaron delivers them articulately. I understand this song was recorded by another artist in the past. It would be interesting to compare the two versions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I gave this CD five stars based solely on its merit, not taking his other factors into account. There was supposed to be a bonus DVD included with this CD, based on information posted on Aaron's official website back in October 2003. Many of his fans were disappointed that the DVD was not included and that the record company had forgotten to inform the website operators that the DVD would not be part of the package.

This goes back down the years of Aarons CDs. It has some of his old songs, that show how he used to be, and they show how much hes matured with what he sings about, and how his voice has matured. The three new tracks on it are- "She Wants Me" Which is a song with his brother, one of my favorites. "One Better" Which Aaron had a hand with in writing, which is my favorite song of all time. "My Shorty" Which is an amusing song to try to understand. All in all, this is a must have for Aaron Carter fans.

Aaron Carter has such youthful energy, enthusiasm, and his songs reflect it all... I just enjoy them, plain and simple. The best of his last three CDs is on this album, and were pretty much the songs I would have chosen had I been the record compan exec who produced it. With a bonus duo on the CD with big bro Nick, it is a great buy for anyone who loves solo male pop music.... plain and simple!

SUCH A GREAT CD!HE`S EVERYTHING!A GREAT RAPPER,SINGER,AND JUST A GREAT GUY!MY FAVORETE SONG ON THIS CD IS ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE!IT`S SO COOL!AARON CARTER SOULD MAKE MORE CD`S!
