Like flunking out of a junior college, making an album this soul-suckingly awful must have taken some hard work. Aiken and his handlers didn't just pick out any old Celine Dion or Bryan Adams song — they went straight to the bottom of the well and chose "Because You Loved Me" and "Everything I Do (I Do It for You)." Toss in some Richard Marx, a flute and a cheesy symphony and you've got the worst episode of American Idol ever.

“He Will Break Your Heart”

A lightly swinging Latin-influenced, almost cha-cha groove and close harmonies decorated Jerry Butler's early soul hit "He Will Break Your Heart," delivering a stately warning that his rival would never love his girl like he did. The melody came to Butler as he was driving on the highway from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Philadelphia with Curtis Mayfield, and as Butler told Rolling Stone, "I just sang the melody and Curtis put the chords to it." The song's premise, Butler added, "was something that I'd lived ...The lyric was an experience rather than a revelation. Whereas music is usually a revelation."
