Constantine Maroulis

“EVERYBODY LOVES”

myspace.com/constantinemaroulis

Former “Idol” finalist Maroulis might be better known for his hair than his vocal chords, and “Everybody Loves” won’t change that. Lyrically shallow (do we need more “na, na-na-na’s?) and musically adequate, “Loves” is the type of mid-tempo tune that rockers like Bon Jovi leave on the cutting-room floor. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just bland. And that’s almost worse than bad.
