Kelly Clarkson, the toothsome winner of Fox TV's first American Idol competition shows that her prime-time win was no fluke. She blithely skips through octaves and genres like a seasoned pro, belting out power ballads like hooky "Low" and the Diane Warren-penned "Some Kind of Miracle," with the aplomb of Pat Benatar in her prime. Clarkson tackles the neo-gospel "Anytime" without flinching, then shows some dirty street cred as she growls through "Miss Independent," a song she penned with Christina Aguilera. But Miss Independent would be a gross misnomer; despite the fact Clarkson co-wrote four of the album's tunes. Clarkson not only had uber record exec/executive producer Clive Davis at her disposal, but an arsenal of producers and songwriters to make sure she didn't make a creative misstep. Despite Clarkson's sublime vocal talents, excessive gloss at times overwhelms the quirky charm and personality she displayed on Idol. --Jaan Uhelszki

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) Great CD!!!! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Kelly Clarkson is a great artist! I don't know why she doesn't like this album or MISS INDEPENDENT that song and this whole cd is great. I actually don't like her newer stuff i don't think that it is as great as her first!!2) One good song [Rating: 1 out of 5]
One good song: The trouble with love. And I already had it on the Love Actually soundtrack. Kind of a waste. I should have listened to the puking sounds my son makes every time Kelly Clarkson is mentioned. But that one good song is so good I hoped she had some others. Good voice, lots of talent. Rotten material. Aretha Franklin didn't get where she is by choosing bad songs. I guess that's the difference.3) A good album! [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Although not ast good as Breakaway or My December, this is still a decent album.The Great:You Thought WrongMiss IndependentJust Missed the TrainBeautiful DisasterA Moment Like ThisBefore Your LoveThe Good:LowWhat's Up LonelyThankfulDoesn't Hurt, Doesn't Help:AnytimeThe Filler:The Trouble With Love Is, but it's still not terribleSome Kind of Miracle, but it's still not terribleOverall, check out Breakaway and My December first, but also look into this one, because it definetely is a solid debut.4) Just OK [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Kelly Clarkson can hit the notes and do the typical vocal acrobatics but has hardly any depth to her tone and a very goaty, uncontrolled vibrato. She begins and ends phrases well but has trouble sustaining emotion in the middle of her phrases. Good beginnings, but I got tired of the CD after a few listenings.Fortunately, she is improving and her second cd, Breakaway, seems to fix some of the vocal problems of her debut cd. We'll see if Breakaway stands the test of time...5) Kelly Clarkson, Thankful [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Kelly Clarkson is a great singer, she totally rocks on "Miss Independant"and shows her much sought after talent on a variety of other styles of songs. I am very happy with the purchase of this CD. If you've heard any of her songs on the radio or t.v., you will enjoy it too.
