Negative Positive
Title: lots of potential, but...
Review: There's no denying Kelly has great vocal chops. Unfortunately, no matter how well she sings, there's only so much she can do with material as weak and generic as this. These songs could have been given to any flavor-of-the-week pop singer. Kelly has a unique, Southern-soul voice that recalls great singers from the past like Aretha Franklin and Dusty Springfield. Given the right material, she could make an album that stands up to those artists' classics. This isn't that album. It may sell a ton of CDs, but unless she records songs that will stand the test of time, she's going to be just another quickie pop star. She deserves better.
