Breakaway [Content/Copy-Protected CD]

Well Kelly Clarkson has done it again with this CD. I think she has gotten even better over time since this CD came out. It was a good CD though & still sounds good today!

1.Breakaway: This is a cool little ditty; makes you want to take off in the car & head to the beach! Good pop tune!

2.Since U Been Gone: This song got alot of radio play here in Canada as well as the video for it. It showed her potential as a punk/rocker chick also even though it's a pop tune. She displayed she could be an American version of Canada's Avril Lavigne if she wanted to. I'm sure this track played in alot of high school dances & college dorms!

3.Behind These Hazel Eyes: This is Kelly pouring her heart out...letting us into her heart...showing the baggage that she holds onto. This is another great pop tune & was popular when it came out.

4.Because of U: I love this song. Such a touching heartfelt ballad which she is so gifted at conveying to the listener. My heart just breaks listening to this song...wishing that whatever transpired in her life that gave these lyrics their birth didn't have to have happened to her. But at the same time I'm sure writing this song was cathartic for her. Just outstanding vocally, lyrically, & conceptually.

5.Addicted: No one can tell the story of love lost, love's hurts and the repercussions of that like Kelly. This to me is one of Kelly's best songs. It has been on my favorite playlist since I got this CD and likely won't be going off of it in my lifetime. Cool overlapping vocals, and just insightful, self-reflective ability to understand one's emotions in the thick of it! 10+++++++++++++++

6.Where Is Your Heart: Another absolutely gorgeous ballad from Kelly. I love her soft vocals in this song...showing her range...with those breathy parts. The lyrics are just beautiful......and something many of us have said many times in one of those relationships that perhaps aren't healthy for us but it takes time to learn that......have to wait for the rose coloured glasses to be taken off!

7.I Hate Myself 4 Losing You: I love this track...such cool instrumentals in this....and she's so great at doing great rocky/pop vocals! Of course it's another love lost song...but so well written & performed...she kills the vocal on it!

8.Beautiful Disaster (Live): I loved this live version of this song. While I like the recorded version also I liked the feel of it done live. What a wicked vocal performance. The piano sounds so good in this song also.

These were my favorite tracks on this CD. After listening to this CD again to do this review I really recognize how good this CD was. Pick it up...you will be able to listen to many of these songs for decades; it's that well done!

This is an impressive follow up to Kelly's first album. 'Thankful' was a decent album but 'Breakaway' blew me away. I've owned it for over a year now and I still listen to it ALL THE TIME. It's just that good. It's on of those albums I'll never get tired of.

kelly did it again! AMAZING vocals!!! so beautiful and deep. her album is beautiful and raw. just like she said it! i love all her songs! she is exstremy talented! even her 1st album was da bomb! she will always be the true and fist american idol! no one can take her place! u go kelly!:)
