Kelly Clarkson in my opinion is the best female artist around. I say this for a number of reasons: Firstly she has an incredible voice; secondly, she expresses such emotion and feeling when singing and performing; thirdly, she has written some brilliant songs with heartfelt lyrics. There are many more reasons but I'll leave it at three for now!
Over the years she has gotten better and better. "Thankful" was a great debut album with nice songs, some of which had a more soulful sound. "Breakaway" was a brilliant album with a number of catchy songs and the album showed off Kelly's Rockstar side.
Finally, "My December" is a fantastic album as Kelly was able to write and co-write all the songs which are basically based on her life and story over the last few years. Since this album was very personal to her, she had the chance to explore different singing techniques and all the songs have a different vibe. The songs range from rock to alternative to slow ones and Kelly really got to show her versatility on here; it's outstanding!
In my opinion, the best tracks on this album are: "Never Again", "One Minute", "Hole", "Sober", "Judas", "Haunted", "Be Still", "Maybe", "Yeah", "Can I Have A Kiss" and "Chivas." So for 11 out of 14 (including hidden track) to be my favourite songs, is a great result.
I hope Kelly Clarkson continues to write songs, release albums and tour for years on end, because she really is an incredibly talented artist (I think she's the best). Rock on KC!
