Sings America Reviews:
My first Dave CD!!! The "Knight Rider" sings these, and him along with these songs are awesome!!! 
2007-03-17 - I am a Knight Rider fan myself, and thouroghly enjoyed "Jump In My Car", so I just had to see if his singing was cheesy as some think, or if it was bad as some think!! It was neither cheesy or bad!!!! It was super!!!!!
Dave sings 15 songs sung from their original artists, but Davia adds lot's of enthusiasm!! A lot of the songs did sound like they were synthesized, but for some reason, I prefer synthesized music over the real thing...
I found myself tapping my foot to this guy, and thinking:: "I need to collect all of Hoff's CD's"!!!
I guess we all like what we like, and some people don't prefer Hoff, but I prefer him all the way after listening to this!!!! Very catchy, and makes me feel in a good mood!!
My favorite track was "County Roads"!! Denver was super, and Hoff does a rocking good job covering it for him!!! It may not be John, but David's tribute to a Denver tune is great!!!!!
Enjoy!!!!!!
Don't take this too seriously. 
2006-08-11 - I like this CD. You have to NOT take it seriously, though. To do so is silly. To like this album, one must have an appreciation for the obsurd. The singing is bad and the music is corny... but that's what makes this so much fun to listen to. I happen to believe that there's a place for really bad music. I'm a Gunther fan, and this ranks right up there with him on my top five favorite bad CD's of all time.
If you don't take this CD seriously, appreciate the obsurd, or are a Hasselhoff fan, then it's really worth buying. You'll have fun with it. I did.
Otherwise if you're not into wierd stuff, or aren't a Hasselhoff fan, don't waste your time.
Hasselhof Should Stick to Acting, Not Singing 
2006-08-03 - David Hasselhof sounds like a drunk man at a Karaoke Bar on Friday night. Come on, folks!! How can anyone tolerate the former Baywatch and Night Rider Star attempting to cover a Madonna Song?? Sheryl Crow's pop rock rendition of Guns and Roses "Sweet Child of Mine" was better than Hasselhof's rendition of "La Isla Bonita", and I'm a 80's Metal Fan. What's next, Hof- GNR's "Welcome to the Jungle" with a Barry Manilow/Vegas Lounge singer beat??
Perhaps the Germans like the Hof because he's comic relief after pounding one too many Hefeweizens at a Beer Tent. He also probably sounds good after popping shrooms or smoking some of that legal Amsterdam Marijuana.
At least all the women in Swimsuits made up for his mediocre acting in Baywatch. With this CD, there's no avoiding the Hof's washed-up Reno, Nevada Casino lounge act quality performance.
King David!
2006-07-25 - There are no words for the beauty, the wonder and the thunder... that is David Hasselhoff. King David wears his Gucci heart on his Armani sleeve in this blistering, musical tour de force. Has anyone ever sung Amazing Grace with such monotonality? And Forever In Blue Jeans so seared my soul that I doubled up on the Xanax even though my shrink cried, "No! No! No!" Still, I can scarcely see through my tears to write this.
Beethoven was OK, The Beatles had their moments, and Hendrix knew a thing or two about the guitar. But take it from me buddy, you haven't heard music until you've listened to The Hoff rip one off. The Germans know this, which is why they were so quick to snap him up when Knight Rider got yanked. In fact, his gutshot rendition of Deutschland Uber Alles was instrumental in bringing down the Wall and reuniting that ill-starred land.
We should count ourselves fortunate to live in a time of such genius. Long after the memory of lesser mortals, like Moses or Shakespeare have turned to dust, somewhere in the universe there will still be a cd of Der Hoffenpuffer bleating, Diese Boots Ist Macht Fur Marching.
Too bad there wasn't a duet with KIT...
2006-06-03 - Surprising is an understatement. While none of these songs are originals, Hasselhoff never-the-less brings each one of these "classics" to life in his own way. Unlike many celebrities who jump on the create-an-album bandwagon, the Hoff actually has some natural skill. I bought this album on a whim after seeing the Hoff on German TV doing an impressive showing of Rhinestone Cowboy. They love him over there, and this album was worth the price I paid... even if for nothing else but to say that the Hoff is part of my music collection.
