Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson Reviews

Now I liked Miss Independent when it first came out, but never bothered to seek out any of Kelly's music. Until Breakaway. This was the first Kelly Clarkson album I bought, basically on the strength of the singles, especially Since U Been Gone and Because of You. Since then I have listened to it constantly. Track Listing 1. ...  Read the complete review

Kelly Clarkson has enjoyed success over the past couple of years since she launched herself into our musical lives on American Idol. Breakaway, her second album, features a number of singles as well as album fillers, and is a solid start to a promising career, attempting to break free from the shackles of Idol. It's not perfect, and there isn't a ...  Read the complete review

This is by far my favourite Kelly Clarkson album. I have every every album by her so far. Her first album, just after winning American Idol back in 2002 didnt really do a lot for me, a bit too cheesy and 'pop' for my liking. I guess she didnt really have a big say in what she recorded back then. Good news is, her style seems to have changed. Now ...  Read the complete review

This album just summed up my college days. every track on it was one you could sing along too, and after kelly's debut offering, was slightly unexpected. throughout the album is great vocals, catchy riffs and memorable choruses. track by track: breakaway - the first official single from this album - ...  Read the complete review

This album is one of my favourite albums by far. The songs are extremely catchy and powerful and what is best about them is that you can really relate to the feelings and the emotions that Kelly Clarkson sings about. The powerful songs are however a little bit more biased towards negativity as there is not so much good feeling in the album, ...  Read the complete review

It was in the Summer of 2005 that I first heard the song 'Since You've Been Gone' and it was immediately that I fell in love with it! This was the first time I had heard of Kelly Clarkson , and I decided there and then that I would have to get this album. So there and then I ordered ' Breakaway' , Kelly's latest album at the time, from Play.com ...  Read the complete review

This is the second album from Kelly Clarkson (the first ever American Idol winner), and her first album to really take off in the UK. I bought this album several years ago, and it is still one of the most played albums on my iPod. 1. Breakaway The album's title track was never officially released as a single in the UK, but ...  Read the complete review

Kelly's second album, and you can see her beginning to pull away from the image she was given after being crowned winner of American Idol, two years earlier. This album is better than her first, combining radio-friendly pop with songs that are a little deeper and darker than anything we would expect from Kelly; the epitome of the fresh faced, all ...  Read the complete review

Kelly Clarkson is by no means small, she is one of the most well known US singers having won the first series of American Idol and having sold a couple million records and won a couple of Grammys. It's the voice - the emotive meaningful voice that Kelly is able to use to go accross to the listener and reach them. The album is filled ...  Read the complete review

Simon Cowell was asked on the most recent series of American Idol who had the best singing talent, America or England. There have so far been 8 series of American Idol and I believe 3 series of X-Factor and a few other shows before that. If you look at the talent that we have apparently produce, Shayne Ward & Leona Lewis, yes they are good ...  Read the complete review

Just like the UK and most of the world America has a thing about finding 'the next big thing' in the music business via a television show and oh wait it has Simon Cowell on board too. JOY! Although this isn't a review of American Idol - the program in question it is fundamental that I explain that the artist who recorded 'Breakaway' actually ...  Read the complete review

...Introduction... Kelly Clarkson was the first winner of American Idol and released her debut album Thankful in 2003 to a great reception in the pop world. With Breakaway her second effort she wanted to develop her sound to make a more varied album which was more focused on the songwriting. I saw Kelly Clarkson live in ...  Read the complete review

When Kelly Clarkson won American Idol, I didn't notice. I'm not interested in those kind of programs, or the contestants. I thought that they only produced good looking singers who couldn't write a decent set of lyrics for toffee……How wrong was I?! Kelly Clarkson is no talent-less pop Princess, she can write her own lyrics, she truly has a ...  Read the complete review

I've not heard Kelly Clarkson's first album, but i bought the second, and it's defenitely worth buying! I bought this album whilst on holiday with my stepsister for around £13.99. I'd heard her single "Since you've been gone" on the music channels a lot of times, and i couldn't stop singing it since. Looking her up on the internet after ...  Read the complete review

When Kelly Clarkson first hit our radios and televisions, it was as the winner of American Idol. That alone suggested she would be a one hit wonder, or a singer of nothing other than chessy pop songs. And while i personally love those kinds of songs, in todays music industry they don't have a lot of credibility. But with this second album, ...  Read the complete review

It's easy to look at Kelly Clarkson for what she supposedly is; a manufactured pop puppet. The winner of the original American Idol, Texan native Clarkson showed enough diversity (and more importantly, quality) to burst the reality bubble and produce a rather decent debut album, entitled 'Thankful'. Despite leaning heavily on the idea of the ...  Read the complete review

Kelly Clarkson first shot to fame as the original American Idol back in September 2002 which then fuelled the craze for England’s own version of Pop Idol and X Factor. At just 20 years old it was a massive accomplishment to fight off every other wannabe in America to become the public’s first choice. Breakaway is her second album having been ...  Read the complete review

Some say she sings like Avril Lavigne and they are pretty much right, especially with the track behind these hazel eyes. I actually thought that it was Avril. And I love Avril’s music. This album has the upbeat pop tunes on, the feel good songs to bring you up when you’re feeling down, and then the slower, sadder, more depressive songs on. This ...  Read the complete review

Having enjoyed her debut album, “Thankful”, I was at a loss to understand why Kelly Clarkson wasn’t a success in the UK. After all, she had a sound not dissimilar to early Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, who were both big stars. Even more than this, she won the first series of “American Idol” which, given how well acts like Girls Aloud have ...  Read the complete review
