Title: Much better than expected
Review: I wasn't expecting much when I bought this album, but it's actually quite good! While the songs themselves are mostly forgettable, there's no denying that Kelly Clarkson has a fantastic voice. The album is extremely eclectic -- there's gospel, R&B, pop, rock, even a little coutnry -- and Kelly jumps from genre to genre flawlessly. She manages to successfully sell even the schlockiest pop ballads (see "A Moment Like This") with her voice, her technique, and her emotion/passion. She really elevates the otherwise bland material on this album. Overall, I find "Thankful" very enjoyable if a little generic. It's definitely worth listening to, and if Kelly can get better material for her next album, it will be just amazing.
