All I Ever Wanted

 

 

Create your own review

Another good CD from the American Idol Pop princess franchise. One can so easily see why she won and why she's still regarded as the best winner to have come out of that franchise.

The songs that I liked are:

1.All I Ever Wanted: Obviously she decided to put out a CD that was more geared to acceptance by youth in the pop/dance construction to alot of the songs on this CD and this song is one of those. It is a song about the tug & pull of love which Kelly writes about alot and does it so well. I love the vocal..and the instrumentation arrangement of the song will get you up to dance as it works so well.

2.Already Gone: This song got alot of radio play when it came out & to me is one of my favorites on the CD. Such amazing lyrics & her vocal is just flawless. How does she reach some of those notes like it's just nothing! I loved the beats running through the song. The lyrics are of course about the eventual loss of love and the perspective of the person leaving the relationship.

3.Save You: I like the up & down flow of the vocals on this song. This is a song interspersed with a wide range of feelings about some sort of loss of a relationship that she wishes that she could have done more to keep. It attempts to show regret and faith in the lyrics. I just loved a piece of piano work done close to the ending of this song. I think they should have used that piano work as the actual ending for the song vs. the drums.

4."Whyyawannabringmedown": This song has a rock/punk sound to it. This was a real departure from Kelly's usual mix of ballads, pop & rock. I expected Avril Lavigne to jump out of the CD jacket on this one! It sure was a cool change-up!

5.Impossible: You wouldn't want the intro for this song to be your alarm clock song in the morning but it fits the song. I love this song and it got alot of radio play when this CD came out. This song is about someone who has a realization that sometimes the imprint of those that touch our lives, leave us with things about our own characters that we need to alter. This is true for sure & how cool that she has the intelligence to understand it. Her vocals on this are just wicked!

6.If No One Will Listen: This is one of Kelly's best ballads I think; an absolutely precious song. It demonstrates how gifted she is in her delivery of lyrics like this. This song is on my favorite playlist & will stay there forever I think; it's that good. Just expceptional!

7.My Life Would Suck Without You: This song will definetly give you your dose of "Let's hit the dance floor"! I can just see when this song came out how much the club DJ's played this one. It's a cool song to shake your bootie too! Ha! Ha!

8.Cry: This is for all you Kelly "Can't get enough of your ballads" junkie fix for sure. It is a song about when you have split with someone but then bump into them to me & the feelings that come up emotionally after such an encounter. You know that you aren't really totally over that love but attempt to act like it was nothing until your alone & then the tears just flow like a water tap.

This CD while not being my favorite Kelly CD is a great CD just the same. These to me are the gems of the CD that relate to my own personal preferences. For sure pick it up as it's worth it to have in your collection for all Kelly diehard fans!

Enjoy!

No critic could ever accuse Kelly Clarkson of being a one dimensional pop artist.

Following the ill advised & disastrous release of MY DECEMBER in 2007, Kelly returns to the fold yet maintains her integrity and remains rebellious in her musical approach to pop music.

This CD is more radio friendly than her previous 2007 release and thus inline with the expectations of her target audience.
The musical production found on this CD is a happy medium.
One can best describe Kelly and this CD as being the more composed version to another pop-rock artist ~ Pink.

ALREADY GONE, I DON'T HOOK UP and MY LIFE WOULD SUCK were, in 2009, massive global hits proving CLARKSON could bounce back into the TOP 40 fold yet remain innovative and assertive ~ a rare and unique trait amongst ex-Idol contestants.

Her vocals delivery is endearing yet unruly at the same time.
After auditioning the CD on multiple occasions, one will easily list this purchase amongst the best POP CDs of 2009.

I have loved Kelly Clarkson as a vocalist and writer for quite sometime and have all her albums. This album is definitely more popy than her previous albums which some people may enjoy. I personally like her My December style more than this album, however, there are definitely many hits on this album as well and it is a must have for any fan.
