No offence, BUT...
What was the point in this? I mean we all agree he gave us a song and dance with the Album the first time around, but I don't think anyone is going to buy another copy - especially if the songs are well below average, and one is a remake of Picture Perfect which wasn't one of my favorites in the first place.
To be honest, artists should not bother re-releasing their albums, just start to work on creating new music. People want something fresh, I thought it was fairly obvious.
I'm not going to be 'sad' and compare this with Rihanna's CD re-release because there's no point. However, I will go on to say that she had 3 fresh songs on there, which made it worth purchasing. But her album was fairly weak the first time around - so I guess its all 50/50 really.
Also, putting additional footage of the concert on the CD is not going to boost sales. I'm sure you've heard of YouTube by now, or even release a Concert DVD???
Initially, I was going to give this a 1 star because it is pointless, however I enjoyed the initial album; with songs such as 'Lottery', 'Throwed', 'I'll Call Ya', 'With You' and especially 'Down' - amongst others, this was my fav. album of the past winter.
