<p>5/17/08: &#8220;The Guestlist&#8221; reviews &#8216;Break the Silence&#8221;<br />
&#8220;There are a couple really brilliant things about American Idol (please note the sarcasm). The first thing is that they really don&#8217;t give these kids a chance to hone in and perfect a sound because one week you can be singing country and the next week show tunes. BLAH!!! It is also nothing more than a popularity contest. Fantasia won the year that Jon Peter Lewis was on the show, but is that a bad thing? Fantasia has done all of nothing and Jon Peter Lewis just released what will no doubt be one of the most talked about albums of 2008 with &#8216;Break The Silence.&#8217; Point, check, and match to Jon Peter Lewis. What a great album. Right from the get go you find yourself tapping along with the adult alternative rock stylings (think Five For Fighting) that Lewis brings to the table. This trend in the music, although pretty prominent throughout the album is not where Lewis shines the most. Rather, it&#8217;s when he decides to tone the music down a bit and let his voice take care of carrying the pop driven songs like &#8216;Beautiful,&#8217; &#8216;Everybody Falls,&#8217; and &#8216;If You Don&#8217;t Mean It,&#8217; where you will be wondering just why it was you didn&#8217;t vote for this guy when you had the chance. Working with producer Chris Garcia (Santana) proved to be a good backbone to the album as Lewis shows a Santana type flare on the opening guitar riff on &#8220;Bridges.&#8221; This is one of the more complete albums I have heard from the Idol pack of runner ups and is sure to hit with folks across the board. A must have for fans of Maroon Five, Five For Fighting, Gavin DeGraw, etc…&#8221; &#8211; The Guestlist</p>
