To begin, no, Dianne Warren didn't write these songs. They're weak attempts at the style, maybe rejects written by Dianne wanna-be's ( a medical condition, itself, for sure ).
The songs are typical top-40, space-taker bland. The kind that an emotionally-attached, sentimentalist view will see as stellar, but an objective view would cast aside as pure radio fodder.

Don't get me wrong, Kelly has a wonderful voice. It's just a shame the material they gave her.
First listen, the production sounds shoddy at best as well. The vocal on "Before Your Love" sounds like stiff, hollow cardboard stapled to a karaoke backing track. "A Moment Like This" shines a little better, but still sounds destined for the land of late-night adult-contemporary sandwiched between two Phil Collins songs.
Please, she won the contest. Give her a chance. Don't ruin her dream by trying to do an immediate popularity cash-in or by turning her into the next Saline Demon ( one is bad enough, thanks).

It is obvious why America chose Miss Kelly Clarkson as the first American Idol. Her stunning voice was the best of the competition and she puts it to use in her first 2 songs. A Moment Like This and Before Your Love. The songs are very sweet and to the point, but with Kellys vocals they become soaring powerhouse ballads. Her voice is so beautiful, natural, and effortless. We have not had such a lovely voice in music in quite a while and the songs here are a nice change of pace from the rap/hip-hop/rock music getting airplay. Hopefully her entire album will be just as wonderful, and hopefully the industry won't snub her come Grammy time just because she was the product of a television show. In my opinion Kelly should win Best Female Vocal Performance. A wonderful new talent that deserves all the success that comes her way.

This single is amazing! It shows off her voice so much! I totally love it! I wish though that Kelly's album showed off her voice as much as this single dose! But Kelly Clarkson is one true Diva! I want her to win a grammy so bad! And she should have won that Grammy she was up for! Kelly Clarkson will always be a diva of American Idol, and beyond! I give her single 5 stars, and her album 5 stars!

It's not her fault...
The only reason i give three stars because she has an incredible voice. i am hoping her debut album has more edge and more soul then these boring love ballads. Read more

Great Voice, but songs lack novelty
When I first heard For A Moment on the radio, I thought it was Mariah Carey's new number - for a while. Read more

Simpleton Hour
It is not that often where the music in the industry really needs a tune up by a certain artrist, a certain time frame, or a certain style of movement on Top 40 radio. Read more

Wonderful Voice (but just so so songs)
Kelly has the voice of the title she has been given: that of American Idol. However, the music -- namely the lyrics -- carrying her through the portal of stardom is marginal in... Read more
