Beautiful Soul

From: $11.97

Jesse McCartney is so pinup-ready, so boy-bandishly appealing in that shaggy-sweet kind of way, that anyone older than 17 will likely be rolling their eyes at him. You know what comes next: they shouldn't. In a classic case of can-that-many-teenage-girls-be-wrong?, McCartney's solo debut sparkles—the danceable tracks call to mind Michael Jackson in his early '80s heydey, the ballads reek of Babyface, and the rest rolls up Hall & Oates, Craig David, and flecks of Usher into a rib-sticking concoction anybody with an ear for pop will want to swallow whole. It's not exactly brain food—the tracks he co-wrote, including standout and opener "She's No You," "What's Your Name," and "That Was Then," are little more than smooth, shiny come-ons telling high school girls what they want to hear. And there's no denying the disc is front-loaded, with the relationshippy stuff starting to wear as track 12 approaches. But despite those things—and despite the name he's made for himself on TV (first on All My Children and more recently on WB's Summerland), which will only add to his early panning among "serious" listeners—Beautiful Soul sets out plenty of reasons to believe that this heartthrob, no matter how long his tousle-haired beauty holds up, has got soul to burn. --Tammy La Gorce

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 21, 2008 Type: User Review jesse mccartney, great debut

the young boy bands may be long gone, but its good to see a young man like jesse singing love songs, his slower songs are better than the uptempo ones, "beautiful soul" is good but not my favourite, i also liked "becuase you live" and "shes no...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 15, 2008 Type: User Review fine album from a rising star--BRAVO, JESSE !!!

Beautiful Soul is one heck of a wonderful album by Jesse McCartney. This kid's got more talent in his pinky finger than more artists have in their entire blood stream! The songs are really very good and this makes a fine introduction to the...

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 12, 2007 Type: User Review One of the absolute cutest male singer-songwriters out there. 3.6 stars

This is an OK effort. But I feel that it lacks something. The vocals are pleasant. Sometimes a little too nasally. Other times, not. And The Stupid Things is a remake right? I know that in the previous year Robin Thicke released it also on A...

As a 50 year old mother of two girls who are major fans of Jesse's, I found this disc to be full of soft, sweet melodies that are easy to listen to and even easier to appreciate. Jesse has penned tender love songs that are what really melt a...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 30, 2006 Type: User Review Jesse, my man

I really like this CD. Like, really, a lot, A LOT! Jesse is a good singer, even if his voice is maybe a little nasal-y at times. I like the style of his songs, too. Some are kind of pop mixed with R&B... it makes me think of Get Out (Leave) and...
