Kelly Clarkson - My December Review Summary

Few American Idol winners have seen the success and won as many accolades as the original Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson. success and won the praise as the original winner Kelly Clarkson can lay claim to. The community readily agrees that Clarkson’s third release My December, while dark and somewhat depressing, is probably her best album to date, with one reviewer stating that “Clarkson’s My December is one Depressing Listen,” while another exclaimed “[T]his album is my life in song.” Clarkson is widely praised for having written most of the (brooding) tracks on My December in her honest unpretentious manner. On this album Clarkson seems to be coming into her, owning who and why she is. Clarkson fought hard to produce an album that reflected her and My December opens a window into her soul. If you are a Kelly Clarkson fan you might also want to read what the community has to say about the one of the artists other albums, Thankful.

After six seasons of American Idol, the original Idol still tops my list. Sure, I liked Clay, Bo, JPL, Taylor, Chris, and even learned to like Carrie, but no one ever seems to measure up to Kelly Clarkson for me. She's the one that made me fall in love with the show; she's the one that first gave me... read full review »

There was no bigger guilty pleasure the last 2 years or so than Kelly Clarkson.  Armed with big pop songs with irresistable hooks, her sophomore effort Breakaway laid waste to the claim that albums don't sell anymore.  It also gave her a fierce independent streak that was only intensified during the...

This album is my life.  My favorite song is Sober.  It shows the pain and the triumphs I have overcome.  I love Can I have a Kiss.  It is a super song that I wish I could play for my secret crush.  This song has alot of interesting styles I never expected from Kelly but it's good stuff.  I would recommend anyone giving this CD a chance.

Even though she got a little angry at someone during the writing period obviously, at least she had the guts to connect to people on all the levels she can. Not only singing about letting your self follow your dreams, but feeling the anger when some one hurts you. She pulls off a great collection of song, and while a depressing cloud is cast over the album, she has a real sound and it's refreshing to see.

I listen to this album on a regular basis even when I'm working out.  Kelly has a wonderful gift in her voice and she does not disappoint.  I highly recommend everyone to go out and buy this album.....it's fantastic.  Her new album is coming out soon and I'm such a big fan of hers I can't wait to hear it.

Kelly Clarkson is an outstanding singer with a very unique voice. She has wonderful song writing skills and this is an excellent example. This as you can tell from the title is not an upbeat work but rather a darker, sadder side but it is still a good work and music to reflect and cry with.

The first time I listened to this album, "Never Again" was the only song that really stood out to me. After listening to it several times, the rest of the album sort of grew on me. It's very different from past Clarkson albums, but a nice change in my opinion.

My December by Kelly Clarkson is one of the best albums I've bought recently.  It's passionate, real, and original.  Her voice is amazing, and these songs will make you feel something for sure.  I never even watched American Idol, and I really enjoy this CD.  If you like this, I would recommend Pink, Inara George, and Aimee Mann.  Kelly Clarkson really breathed life and rock back into pop music with this album.  This album makes the rotation in my road trip music collection every time.  It's one of those albums that is worth listening in it's entirety for the sound experience, or to pick...

I thought Kelly Clarkson was very honest in this CD. She wrote based on life experiences and wrote completey from emotion.The music was a lot harder than her previous albums, it had more music to it. The tiltle of this album also related to the basis of her tracks. All of her tracks also made sense with one another, it wasn't just a radom collection of songs. Kelly Clarkson has always had a good voice but she sings with feeling on this album and uses her voice to convey what she feels instead of just singing as well as she can. It makes a huge difference to someone listenand saying that it's good... read full review »

Really love all the songs on this cd Kelly Clarkson - My December. The photos are really done well too. I love a great looking cd cover. It really helps sell me buying the CD. Kelly has always been my favorite American Idol. With this CD, I think she got to finally do what she wanted and its great! She didn't sell out to the record label. She has alot of talent and is super in concert. Hope she's always awesome.

On the cusp of her newest release, "My Life Would Suck Without You," you might wish to give this one a try when you buy the new one.  The last song on this CD is just gorgeous, "Irvine/Chivas."  I find this record was unfairly judged by the media and critics.  It really is much better than it was made out to be, and is by no means an underaccomplished work.

i like all of kelly's music.  she is a good performer.  her new song is great. i think she just is herself and does not try to be anything else.  her voice is strong and sounds great in almost all of her songs.  i'm glad she has done another album.  i haven't got to see her perform in person but would like to get the chance to.

She is the greatest artist to come out of  Tex since chili dogs. She has The best looks, voice, sound, style, she presents a product not of which is ever known before this album dropped. She has by far been a real Star That has not hit the peek of her gift for music She should reely be around for a very long time to come
