Kelly Clarkson: My December review
With all the bad things happened to her lately (row with BAD MAN Clive Davis, bulimia, sacking her own manager etc. etc), it couldn't get any worse with her first single, 'Never Again'. Well, some would say it wasn't that bad, considering 'Never Again' was in the top 10. But then again, it disappeared as quickly as it being introduced. Just like that. Yes folks! It has been kicked out of Billboard to 40 for allegedly lacking of air play.
CAN IT GET WORSE?
OK, Let's face it. I love Kelly Clarkson's album namely Breakaway, her sophomore effort. But I didn't like the first one though. More like a cheesy-retarded compilation of pop songs for tween. A manufactured songs that choking you to the bones. But that was half expected I guess, seeing where she was coming from. But breakaway really did define her as a true artist. And then came My December.
Oh, my! Oh, my! I don;t know how to put this, but I couldn't be biased and yet I hate saying bad things for this albums. I mean, when I first listen to it, I have a strange feeling. I don't know. A deja vu, perhaps? Like listening to ColdPlay's X$Y album, or Radiohead's. It does take time to go to your veins and to like the album.... Heeee!
Yes. true. I'm little disappointed when I finish listened to the whole song.s To those who waited for Breakaway version 2.0 (like myself! heeee again!), they are going to be in a deep schmuck. Not that this album doesn't contain Since-U've-been-gone-type of songs, but that soft spot in Breakaway has been replaced by angrier, darker, edgier songs. More mature and more personal.
And so, I was disappointed and kind of understood why the BAD MAN wanted to hack 5 of the existing songs in this album. But i tried to listen to it one more time. And one time became two times, two times became three times and so on. Last I knew, I've been listening to it for non stop now. It kinds of grow inside you. And once 'My December' gets to know you, it will not release you. Here is review of the songs in My December:
1. Never again - I think this is Since U've been Gone version 2. Angrier. Don't mess with Kelly Clarkson! - 10/10
2. One minute - It has this dance-tempo feeling to it. Nice. - 8/10
3. Hole - You've got to listen to this. This is by far, the most cool rock song ever sung by a female artist for a long, long time... for that, I'm giving 10/10
4. Sober - I like the songs but have my reservations on the repetition chorus here. Great second single. Mellow 10/10
5. Don't waste your time - Okay. you keep on tapping your feet listening to this 8/10
6. Judas - I hate it at first but now it seems I couldn't get enough of it! haha! Got the feel of 'Walk Away' and 'Gone' from the sophomore album. - 10/10
7. Haunted - Evanescene-like songs but way better! Some people would kill me of giving only 9 instead of 10 heheh! 9/10
8. Be still - The slowest track in My December - Okay 8/10
9. Maybe - I like it! Cool! 9/10
10. How I feel - I thought this is the most cheesy song that Billboard really like! Heee! It should be the first single 10/10
11. Yeah - Haven't sunk in me. YET. - 7/10
12. Can I have a kiss - Some people really love this songs. It's okay for me 9/10
13. Irvine - What can I say. This is the most saddest song I've heard in a year! The emotion is very raw and you could almost see Kelly cries while singing this! 10/10
14. Chivas - LOL. This is so fucking cool. 10/10
Total - 91%
There, my review. I couldn't find Because of you version 2 here, but I do find something else, more personal, more better. Some people say this is her best work yet. I don't know but i agree this is a near perfect album from Kelly Clarkson!!! You could almost relate it to yourself. And I kind of agree why she chose to stick with her guts than listen to bad music moguls!
Go and buy the album. worth it. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
