Thankful May 27, 2008
After listening to the Leona Lewis cd, I decided to give Kelly's debut another listen so that I could compare the two singers. The two main differences regarding the two are that we, Americans haven't gotten to know Leona in the same way that American Idol allowed us to get to know Kelly. And second, I personally felt that "something" when I listen to Kelly's cd - I feel her soul & belief in her songs (even the cheesy ballads) while I felt nothing while listening to Leona's disc.
The songs on this disc are a mix of rock, pop & r&b which was a good way to display her vocal ability and appeal to as many fans of American Idol as possible. My favorite tracks to this day are:
WHAT'S UP LONELY - good contemporary pop 'n' r&b track
JUST MISSED THE TRAIN - beautiful lyrics matched with her vocals, this is a really pretty track
MISS INDEPENDENT - this is still a great catchy pop track
YOU THOUGHT WRONG - excellent duet with Tamyra (wish they'd work on another track together soon)
THANKFUL - I love the simplicity of this song, she doesn't oversing it
SOME KIND OF MIRACLE - I love the choral arrangement of this soulful ballad
The other songs I like are: THE TROUBLE WITH LOVE, LOW & A MOMENT LIKE THIS - all really showcase her vocal ability but I guess I'd heard them so much that I'm kind of burnt out on listening to them repeatedly.
I'd recommend this disc to any fan just to compare how far Kelly has come as an artist.
True, enduring talent... Mar 27, 2008
Kelly is one of the singers that will likely be around for the long-haul. She's truly gifted, and able to adapt her voice to the music that she is presenting. Her main weakness is that she is singing a lot of music that other people are writing. I want to see her develop her writing gifts.

 Great CD!!!! Dec 02, 2007
Kelly Clarkson is a great artist! I don't know why she doesn't like this album or MISS INDEPENDENT that song and this whole cd is great. I actually don't like her newer stuff i don't think that it is as great as her first!!

 One good song Nov 26, 2007
One good song: The trouble with love. And I already had it on the Love Actually soundtrack. Kind of a waste. I should have listened to the puking sounds my son makes every time Kelly Clarkson is mentioned. But that one good song is so good I hoped she had some others. Good voice, lots of talent. Rotten material. Aretha Franklin didn't get where she is by choosing bad songs. I guess that's the difference.

Low
What's Up Lonely
Thankful
Doesn't Hurt, Doesn't Help:
Anytime
The Filler:
The Trouble With Love Is, but it's still not terrible

Overall, check out Breakaway and My December first, but also look into this one, because it definetely is a solid debut.
