Kelly Clarkson (Official Thread)

http://graphics.sonybmg.com.au/cdcovers/medium/82876745532.jpg

There have been threads about her, but nothing significant, so I think it's worth making a true "official thread" for her. Breakaway is definitely one of my favorite pop albums of the decade, and this year's All I Ever Wanted was also very solid. Her voice is just wonderful.

No Tim, my life would suck without you.

Kelly Clarkson owns so hard.

[KellyGleason]

Huge fan

IMHO one of her best live performances ever:

flawless vocals.

My point exactly bro, my point exactly. "yeah, you suck the life out of me"-Muse. Definitely heard that as something else the first time through.

Probably this FANTASTIC a capella version of "Behind These Hazel Eyes" that I found. I will have to find it again...

Which word did you hear wrong? I don't get the joke, which may be a good thing.

A capella, huh? Sounds delightful.

[KellyGleason]

Probably this FANTASTIC a capella version of "Behind These Hazel Eyes" that I found. I will have to find it again...There was an acapella version of "Because of You" but really it's just the studio recording without the instrumentals. It's AMAZING and if you have one for this song please post it! :)

suck sounded like another delightful four letter word

Oh. Duh. Should have known.

That's a shame. Even if you're not big on pop music, Kelly has an amazing voice.

Chick rules.

Indeed she does. I've been on a good Kelly kick lately.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Indeed she does. I've been on a good Kelly kick lately.
Her last album was a little disappointing, though.

[xJesusFreakx]

Her last album was a little disappointing, though.

All I Ever Wanted? It wasn't as good as Breakaway, but I thought it was enjoyable enough and certainly a step up from My December. I really like "My Life Would Suck Without You" and "Long Shot."

[mulcahy67]

all i know is whenever my girlfriend pops on my girlfriends Ipod i dont hit skip.

so go her.

Not to mention Already Gone and IDNHU

Also, "Whyyawannabringmedown" is so delightfully ridiculous, lol. I can see someone else not liking it, but I love it.

Vintage Kelly. Also one of my favorites:

To me, that song is basically Kelly Clarkson meets RJA's You Better Pray.

I still haven't gotten around to picking up her first album. How would you rank it with her other three?

To me, that song is basically Kelly Clarkson meets RJA's You Better Pray.

Yeah, except "Whyyawannabringmedown" is a lot more fun and has much more emotion to it. "You Better Pray" sounds ridiculously dull and half-hearted, to put it nicely, but I can really imagine Kelly having a heck of a good time singing that song.

Her voice sounds so less mature but when you compare the albums you can see how talented she was from the start!

[kearn1tm]

Tim, you're far too nice for the rest of us assholes on this site, and lord knows I love Since U Been Gone, but this thread gets 25 posts and one of the godfathers of Hip Hop can't get more than two?! Philistines, the lot of you!

The lot of you!

...but Since U Been Gone is damn killer.

I can imagine it her having a blast with it too, but that doesn't make it good (imo).

And, for me, it's Breakaway > My December > All I Ever Wanted > Thankful.

Ha, sorry? Which thread do you speak of? I'll go breathe some life into it if you'd like, even if it's just my typical, "Huh, sounds good. I'll have to look into him/her/them," post.

[bladerdude360]

Haha glad to see this thread was made. "My Life Would Suck Without You," "I Do Not Hook Up," and "Whyyouwannabringmedown" are all jams on the new record. She has an incredible, powerful voice. I am a fan of Kelly Clarkson for sure.

Leave it to me to shamelessly promote female pop artists/performers I love, lol.

[NateFoundGlory]

I'm not going to be that douche that just likes her because she's hot (but she is damn beautiful...), I like her because she's actually a legit artist with an amazing voice. Bravo on the thread haha.

[imahoodlum]

I can't deny this girls singing talent. I've been known to like some Kelly Clarkson from time to time. I owned her first album after she won American Idol and I loved that shit so much.

[spunkmastaflex]

well, she still may be cute still, but fyi shes a pretty big girl now

and i do like her music, i have all of her albums lol. Shes freaking awesome and her new cd is pretty good too

[Chromefox]

Ahh, Tiny Tim. You and your poptarts.

[Knatuhlee]

"from justin to kelly"
what a movie.... what a freaking movie.

[xJesusFreakx]

Ahh, Tiny Tim. You and your poptarts.

Don't you mock my Kelly love!

[katyara]

My favorite song by her is "Addicted"

[xJesusFreakx]

I listened to My December for basically the first time since shortly after buying it, and I couldn't get more than about halfway through. The only standout songs are "Never Again," "Sober," and "Irvine." The only significant shortcoming I can think of for that album is the lack of memorable choruses, but for this kind of pop music, that's crucial.

[IWasaCamera]

All I Ever Wanted > Daisy
Yep.

[KellyGleason]

One of the groups covered here on that a capella sing off show, and I feel as if they butchered it.

Oh and to keep the mood in this thread, <3KellyClarkson

[xJesusFreakx]

I guess that a capella version of "Behind These Hazel Eyes" never surfaced?

[KellyGleason]

It's not a capella, it's merely the studio version with the instrumentals taken out. I think the one for "Because of You" sounds a lot better:
vBFSMna9KPY

[xJesusFreakx]

That's less exciting, but still neat. Her vocals on "Because of You" are so splendid.

[KellyGleason]

The one of "Never Again" is fun. I think that's an extremely underrated song.

[xJesusFreakx]

I like the song, but it's one of the few from the album I can enjoy.

[WhoSaidThat?]

The one of "Never Again" is fun. I think that's an extremely underrated song.
I'd argue that My December as a cohesive whole is underrated.

[KellyGleason]

I'd argue that My December as a cohesive whole is underrated.I'll agree with this.
It's sad that this whole album was defined by the failure of that single.

I actually won tickets to see her live a couple of years back. I saw her at Jones Beach Theatre which is an outdoor theatre on the water. She was outstanding.

[Troggy]

I like the song, but it's one of the few from the album I can enjoy.

Last I checked I liked 'Sober', 'Irvine' and 'Can I have a Kiss?'

I need to get back to some Kelly soon, she has been lost among some of the other things I have been addicted to (Goldfrapp).

[xJesusFreakx]

Last I checked I liked 'Sober', 'Irvine' and 'Can I have a Kiss?'

I need to get back to some Kelly soon, she has been lost among some of the other things I have been addicted to (Goldfrapp).

I agree with all of those besides "Can I Have a Kiss," but that's just because I don't know that song; I always lose interest before it. I only know "Irvine" because I've gone out of my way to listen to it because of a recommendation. Since I agree with the others, though, I expect to agree with that one.

I think the primary thing holding My December back is the lack of memorable choruses. The rest seems to have potential, but that lack causes the songs to run together and be unmemorable and boring. Would you agree with this assessment?

Crap, still need to check out Goldfrapp. It's been longer now, so you probably can give a better answer than before: What one album of hers would, in your opinion, be the best to start with?

I completely agree. The reason I single out 'Can I Have a Kiss' is because I DO like the hook on that one. It is one that stuck with me. It could stand to be polished up a bit for sure. If they had given it the production that her professional records get, I think it would have been great. Oh, and you know, I do have a fourth song on my iTunes from that record, 'Maybe'. Unfortunately this record isn't really a 'grower', the rest of the material just isn't that good.

At this point, I would say just go in order. I had thoughts at first about them being better or worse but I listened the heck out of the first three records and they are like my childrens right now. Can't play favorites. Each one is pretty significantly different than the others, so you may or may not like all three. Felt Mountain is very surreal, sounds kinda like Portishead at times, mostly slow songs, probably their 'best'. Black Cherry is a mix of the ballad style from the first with the glam/dance/sexyness songs that they made a lot of on BC and Supernature. Supernature is their most immediate and poppy record. It's a little more inconsistent than the first two, but I still really like it. From what I have heard, their fourth album Seventh Tree is a huge departure from all three of the other records, and it just depends on who you are as to how much of it you'll probably like. Their new record is out next year and it's gonna be dancy, so I hope it's good :3

Maybe some track picks will help you out:

Felt Mountain: Lovely Head, Paper Bag, Utopia, Horse Tears
Black Cherry: Crystalline Green, Tiptoe, Strict Machine
Supernature: Oooh La La, Ride a White Horse, Koko, Number One

A pop album shouldn't be a "grower."

Maybe that's an ignorant thing to say. Pop music can certainly have depth that takes some time to take in. However, if there isn't some level of immediate satisfaction, for a genre I understand to be based pretty strongly in accessibility, there's probably something wrong.

Thanks. When I'm not in class (last day of semester, w00t), I'll have to check those out. If I dig something, maybe I'll have to go bump that thread.

[ChelseaRiane]

I feel like she gave up. The last few live performances I've seen she hasnt looked good and her performance in genral was average. We all know shes capable of much more. She is still my favorite Idol though

Nope- It's "Behind These Hazel Eyes." If I can find it, I will certainly post it :)

[KellyGleason]

She makes good music overall, but I thoroughly enjoy her ballads. She just has such a powerhouse voice!

[xJesusFreakx]

Bump because going over three months without some Kelly Clarkson discussion is just wrong.

[WhoSaidThat?]

I listened to AIEW a few weeks back in its entirety. It turned out to be a lot better than I remembered. Still, there's a few items on that album I could do nicely without. But her voice is at least as good as it's ever been.

[cshadows2887]

Saw this bump coming. I think I should listen to one of her albums in full at some point.

It's not as good as Breakaway, but it was nonetheless a nice return to form after the fairly weak My December. The highlights are definitely worth the price of admission.

Haha. Understood. I listend to Relient K btw. It was good, but it didn't like a fire under me. It was good enough to merit more listens though.

[cshadows2887]

To be honest, nothing jumped out at me. It was all really upbeat, pleasant pop/punk/rock. Which is why I think repeat listens, where tracks start to stand out, will probably make me like it more.

Oh, yeah I know what you mean.

So, it's 1:39 AM, and I have a class at 11, and I have something I haven't written for class yet. Oops. I'll do that eventually. Short term, I'd rather have Kelly in my ears; long term, I should get a good grade in this class; really long term, I'll still love Kelly, and I won't remember that assignment.

Your brain is too big picture for it's own good. Why not zoom ALL the way out and say "fuck it. I'm going to die eventually. Why do anything?"

[WhoSaidThat?]

I honestly enjoyed My December quite a bit. And it's my favorite behind Breakaway. Again, I'd probably give the silver to All I Ever Wanted were it not for all the missteps. I agree that there's some awesome cuts on there, but it just isn't working for me as a cohesive whole, you know?

[xJesusFreakx]

Your brain is too big picture for it's own good. Why not zoom ALL the way out and say "fuck it. I'm going to die eventually. Why do anything?"

Then I'll zoom out even further, to heaven, and realize, "Hey, there will probably be an eternal Kelly Clarkson concert up there. Might as well get a little taste of heaven while I wait."

I gave My December another shot maybe two months ago, and it was still dreadfully boring. Very few memorable hooks, and that's horrible to say about a Kelly album. I think I made it just over halfway through before changing it.

Yikes. I don't even feel that way about Thankful, which I haven't listened to in a while.

[xJesusFreakx]

Yikes. I don't even feel that way about Thankful, which I haven't listened to in a while.

I like "Never Again" and like two other songs, I think, but I can't even remember what those songs were right now. One was a ballad, and the other, I think, was at the end of the album. I literally couldn't remember half the songs I heard minutes after I was done.

I actually don't own Thankful yet.

[xJesusFreakx]

All I Ever Wanted is my jam. Particularly Don't Let Me Stop You. I'm really hoping that Kelly's able to release something towards the latter end of the year.

I heard that she's working on something, so it's possible, but since All I Ever Wanted is only a year old, I imagine it'll be another year before a new release drops.

[ChelseaRiane]

I still think she's the best thing to come from American Idol, hands down

Too bad they can't seem to 'find' anyone else D:

Maybe instead of cramming all their top finishers into styles that are already wearing out their welcome, they should try to find something interesting for them to do.

[xJesusFreakx]

"IT'S NOT OVER...!!"

Oh, Daughtry. I actually don't have a problem with him, but he's about as uninteresting as radio rock can get. He's basically at Nickelback level: If I hear a song, I'm not mad, but I'd never listen on my own accord. Enough letting him pollute this thread, though, lol.

I went to FYE today to see if they had a used copy of Thankful. No such luck. Breakaway used was $10, though, and My December was $5. So, they value the latter about half as much as the former. How generous...

[WhoSaidThat?]

I think that they have no interest in that as long as Idol maintains the most watched show on TV with what's currently working for them.

[Troggy]

Yeah, that's completely true. That last statement was more 'what I want' rather than what they 'should' do.

Also, My December is an amazing album which comes in second after, the pop behemoth, Breakaway.

Only just got around to listening to All I Ever Wanted. God her voice is great. Never a wrong mood for Kelly.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Also, My December is an amazing album which comes in second after, the pop behemoth, Breakaway.
Wouldn't use those words to describe either album, but yeah, My December is second to Breakaway.

[sarahmay]

Agree with "stevenisfading", Kelly's cover of Seven Nation Army is kickass!
I'm pretty much in Kelly withdrawal, I mean, it's great to listen to her older stuff... I just want some new material.

"Don't You Wanna Stay" with Jason Aldean is okay, but I want to hear some newwwww stuff.

[stevenisfading]

Wouldn't use those words to describe either album, but yeah, My December is second to Breakaway.
Why not? Breakaway had the career/decade-defining song Since U Been Gone and her radio airplay during that CD release was ridiculous.

[Dearbhla]

I love Kelly Clarkson, so much. Really want some new material though.

I can think of a P.O.D. song that many would claim "defined" their career. Would that make their album a nu-metal/rap-rock behemoth?

I'm with him on this one. That record is one of the best girly radio-pop/rock has to offer.

[Matthew Tsai]

There is something freakishly transcendent about "Breakaway." Can't. stop. listening. It's the perfect pop song.

[WhoSaidThat?]

No less than All I Ever Wanted (or at least, Thankful).

[xJesusFreakx]

My December is pretty lame. If you do give it a shot, pretend it's not a Kelly Clarkson album. I mean, it's weak even as a standalone album, but when you realize that album followed Breakaway, it becomes pretty inexcusable. There are a couple nice tracks, but I don't think they're worth the digging for. If anything, just hit up the opener and closer.

Used to be obsessed with her like 5 years ago! Massive fan of Breakaway. My December and All I Ever Wanted are okay, few catchy tracks here and there!

I seriously cannot wait to listen to some new material of hers!
