Track List & Review

​​​
In the title song,
Yes I Am - [ORIGINAL SONG]
First performed on the Grand Final Show of Australia's Got Talent, Jack showcased his songwriting ability to prove he has got talent, which he then won the Australia’s Got Talent contest, The song is soulful and expresses a lot of meaning. Jack says the song is about "his journey, love, relationships etc." However one section of the song is purely directed to his mother. There was a controversy questioning how they introduced Jack by claiming he wrote the whole song himself. Jack wrote the lyrics to 'Yes I Am'. Whether or not Jack wrote all the entire composition is unimportant, because it’s a brilliant piece worthy of the AGT first place prize!!

And I Am Telling You, I’m Not Going
Jack performed a cover of this song for the Semi-Finals on AGT as well as the Decider. It is a song from the Broadway musical Dreamgirls, about a singer in a girl group who refuses to leave her manager/ex-lover behind. Jennifer Hudson is the original singer of the song. Jack’s version of the song is vocal dynamite! It’s uncanny to hear a boy sing with this range and power, with both a male energy and a feminine precision. Some complex passages at full capacity are astounding.

Set Fire to the Rain 
Jack performed a cover of this song for the Finals on AGT. He really made it his own with starting on a different key and also inco-operating a key change. It I​​s a recent chart hit by the one and only amazing British singer, Adele, which many singers have covered. What I found notable here was the vocal exactness, the careful styling. Jack’s voice has a surprising masculine quality here. We hear a kind of rough pavement on the vowels, which gives this cover his personal touch.

Who's Loving You?
​​Jack performed a cover of this song the day after he won the AGT competition on Channel 7's Sunrise as well as being a guest performer on the X-Factor competition. Possibly the most famous version of this tune was by The Jackson 5, but it’s been sung by many well-known artists like The Miracles, The Supremes and The Temptations. Jack truly put an amazing effort into the cover and has done a brilliant job at showcasing those high notes.

Because You Loved Me
​​Is a Celine Dione cover in which Jack demonstrates his ability to hold high tones at near perfection. This is a fine, sensitive cover.

River Deep, Mountain High
​​In 1966 Ike and Tina Turner had a hit single called River Deep, Mountain High — a song with a big swinging beat. Jack throttles this out like a seasoned artist, confident of his abilities. The lyrics have been amended slightly, of course, to suit a male singer. The cover is simply fantastic!

Think
Jack was a guest performer on the X-Factor competition and performed a cover of this song as a medley with Who's Loving you?. ​​This song is the famous R+B hit from Aretha Franklin‘s 1968. Again, the lyrics have been changed in places to fit Jack. He simply brilliantly roars through this song, making it sound like an uncanny anthem of boyish freedom.

Hero​​
Jack performed a cover of this song on Channel 7's Sunrise the day after he won the AGT Competition. Mariah Carey‘s Hero is maybe her best known hit, re-recorded after the 9/11 attack. Jack does it extremely well, fine lilting vibrato facets are impressive here in the crystal clear lyrics!

Glitter in the Air

​​is a more contemporary piece by Pink, which presents Jack with a less strenuous assignment. This song is in a more Pop-Rock style, however the cover is beautifully sung.

I have Nothing​​
One of the covers Jack is most well-known for as he sung this as his audition for AGT. Whitney Houston‘s 1993 powerful ballad about commitment to one’s lover, is another excellent R+B cover. In this song, we hear the fullness of Jack’s voice. There is a richness, a sweetness, but also a gutsy masculine boy sound.

Fly! - [ORIGINAL SONG]​​
A mixture of R+B, Hip Hop and Pop — that’s Jack Vidgen’s original song Fly. With an almost effortless, clear and powerful voice, Jack shows us why he’s chosen to be a stylish young R+B artist. With his special voice, its a smashing original-my five star song on the album

Loving You
Jack first performed a cover of this song on Sunday Night. The song was dedicated to his mother as when they were younger Jack and his mother would sing this song together. ​​In 1975. The cover is a little different to the original Minnie Riperton version, however it is equally as amazing and the meaning behind it is so special, Jack's mother would be so proud!

Yes I Am is an impressive album which showcases Jack Vidgen’s extraordinary singing talent. It’s no wonder his rapid rise to popularity has followed. I highly recommend the album.
