What's Left of Me (2006)

Details Release Date: May 09, 2006; Lead Performance: Nick Lachey; Genre: Pop

With a teasing title to court the tabloid-addicted, the ex-Newlywed's 12-track, one-note whinefest What's Left of Me calls to mind the Backstreet Boys' recent attempt at vanilla-pop pain — but with an unbecoming infusion of rage. He bitterly commands his ''mystery'' lady to burn, steal, bleed, beg, and crawl to ''see how it feels'' on the cornball Corey Hart-ish rocker ''I Do It for You.'' But all the real-life divorce drama in the world can't hide what's really left of this boy-band survivor: remarkably bland and replaceable vocals.
