Negative Positive
Title: Great voice. But....
Review: Let me start of by saying that Kelly Clarkson is by far my favorite former-Idol. She's easily got some of the best pipes out there. I eagerly anticipated her first release (which I loved) and even fell in line when she seemingly changed stylistic directions with 'Breakway' - one listen to 'Where Is Your Heart' and I just got it.However, this right here, this hook-free, jumbled mess called 'My December', never should have seen the light of day. It's unlistenable. I certainly understand artists wanting to challenge themselves, whether it be through songwriting or production, but her vanity clearly got the best of her and her label had every right to be concerned - from beginning to end, this cd is..well, it's just bad. Painfully bad.Am I still a fan of her voice? Absolutely. I think everyone's entitled to their musical equivalent of 'Ishtar'. But after this turkey of a project, I probably won't be so eager to run out and snatch up her next release without some serious forethought.
Is the review positive or negative?
