My-My; December is Looking HOT!


Kelly Clarkson-My December
5.5/5
Okayy, 5.5 is not exactly possible, but because this is my favourite album EVER, it has to be possible. So, with that being said, My December is the third of Kelly's releases. It is obviously the best, with Thankful getting a 2/5 and Breakaway getting a 4/5. Kelly has evolved from American Idol puppet, to creative, stand-alone music star. This CD is filled with amazing tunes that you either want to:
Rock-out to, slowly lighten up and sing, or just bop your head and listen.
The CD has an edgier side to it, attracting a more rock-based populous of fans. The first single is a bit of a sample of the new direction, "Never Again" has a rock-ish tone to it and brings powerful lyrics and vocals. But, if you really want a taste of Kelly's CD, you have to listen to "Sober", the next single, which does not attempt any rock whatsoever, but instead, has a light beat, POWERFUL vocals and lyrics. It is truly an amazing song, so stay tuned on the radio for it, or request it f you're dying to hear some softer Kelly before you buy the CD. No pop fan can resist it. The next singles are "How I Feel" and "One Minute" (not confirmed but 90%); How I feel is light/fast, so it represents that "bop your head" side of the CD. One Minute is like rockish techno, it's interesting but does not fit well with the CD, representing nothing, it is sort of an interesting way to drag in more fans. I really think the next 2 singles should be either: Judas, Maybe or Haunted; because those 3 songs are clearly the stand-outs among the CD. Judas and Haunted are rock-ish, and Maybe is soft, soulful and beautiful (just like sober). The further the singles, the less we should talk about them, so I would like to tell you ALL, to buy this CD, whether you have illegaly downloaded it, or whether you have been listening to it on a website. JUST BUY IT. If Kelly gets enough sales here, she will make more songs by herself, that means creating amazing music on every CD, wouldn't that be better than another Breakaway? (Also, there are a few hidden tracks in the ACTUAL CD as well)
Best Songs (In order):
1. Maybe
2. Sober
3. Haunted
4. Judas
5. Can I Have Kiss
6. Hole
7. Be Still
8. Irvine
9. How I Feel
10. One Minute
11. Yeah
12. Don't Waste Your Time
13. Never Again
Kelly is finally becoming an amazing songwriter, we all should praise her and hope we don't have to wait too long before the 4th cd....
