content: This album is almost completely different than Kelly's second C.D., for she seems to use a soulful style of singing on Thankful that she pretty much has abandoned on her followup album. There are (regrettably) few high-volume energetic tunes like "Since U Been Gone" on this album, with most of the songs being soft and relatively too simple. One of the exceptions is the hit "Miss Independent", the best track in my opinion. This tune has a unique background beat, soulful lyrics, and a loud, majestic chorus. It would seem that this debut album features a completely different side of Kelly than is on Breakaway, preferably the less desirable side. I wouldn't recommend this album also because it's not satisfyingly intricate, and has few likeable tracks.I recommend:Miss IndependentLowBeautiful DisasterYou Thought Wrong
