    Jaded critics aside, music-luvvers will find much to move them out of their seats and onto the dance floor in CBTY; whether to shake their groove-thangs, do a solo show-off or hug-up with a partner and slow dance. This is music for grown folks!

  1. Doolittle is nothing if not steady, making all the right moves at the right times, sounding at once like a seasoned pro and someone who feels everything she sings while never forcing or faking anything out. It's one of the smartest, most likable albums from an American Idol alum yet.
  2. Doolittle channels Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin over live-band arrangements that feel fresh-faced and old-school at the same time.
  3. That her backup occasionally lets her down, though, ultimately speaks to how confident Doolittle sounds here. Coming Back to You is an impressive opening salvo--even without the "for an American Idol" qualifier.
