Considering the long, pain-staking process in selecting the nation's Pop Idol it seems a little impetuous to rush release the finished product with The Big Band Album--but at least public interest is still riding high. Will and Gareth's singles were quick and simple with record-breaking results but listening to this release you can't help wondering if they should have spent a little more time rehearsing and recording it.
Thirteen tracks of big band standards feature the 10 finalists of the show each doing their bit. Will, Gareth and Zoe each get an extra slice of the pie and lucky for them as Will's performance on "Beyond the Sea" pales in comparison to his second effort just as Zoe's fantastic "I've Got You Under My Skin" trounces her slightly disappointing "Get Happy".
For a cynic it would be easy to knock the pop idols as it's almost a national sport but they all prove they can sing with Darius, Aaron and Hayley turning in some great performances but for the most part they have been let down by poor production and the recording standards of a karaoke machine. Robbie Williams came under a lot of criticism for what people saw as his butchering of classic numbers on Swing When You're Winning but Pop Idol's Big Band Album is way short of the mark set by Robbie showing that you can't rush a project of this size and expect the same results. --David Trueman
