Product Description

Kelly Clarkson could have played her American Idol-propelled career much differently, languishing in the role of dippy ingénue or shunting her musical development by leaning too heavily on overnight stardom. Instead she dug in her heels and allowed good sense (or a good manager) to steer, and somewhere Simon Fuller and the rest of the TV gang ought to be smiling. Credit Breakaway, which couldn't be more aptly titled--the sophomore set represents a seismic split from the thin if pretty stuff debut Thankful set forth. Here we encounter Clarkson as superstar, with the humility that made her likable on the first disc tucked tightly under her arm. First single and leadoff track "Breakaway" topped the pop charts on arrival, and its rock-friendly thumps, dips, and rolls don't wear out their welcome; they blend, instead, into the firestorm of beats and guitars that is "Since U Been Gone," another shout-it-out rocker. Those songs set the tone for the rest of the disc in all its fury: The innocence is long gone, numbers including "Addicted" and "Hear Me" say collectively, and Clarkson's of a mind to kick it. The big, expressive voice ringed by the occasional high-pitch trill--the one that prompted millions to get behind her on Idol--doesn't dip entirely off the radar, though. On "Where Is Your Heart," and the stunning live closer "Beautiful Disaster," it's there in full force--a hint, maybe, that despite the wide, smart career step Breakaway represents, her fans come first. --Tammy La Gorce

Ok, here's a perspective from a 42 year old man, now I have bought a lot of music,
everything from Blondie and Duran Duran to Placebo and Metallica, so you can see I have a fairly eclectic "if it's good then I like it" attitude towards music.
but then once in a while something amazing happens, along comes a new artist, seemingly out of the blue, that stops you in your tracks, I happened to stumble across "behind these hazel eyes' on some saturday morning kids show, "H0ly Cr@p what was that!"
I was instantly hooked, bought Breakaway that same day, what an amazing experience listening to that album for the first time ;)
I could list why I love this song or that song individually but that has been done here many times before,
let me just say in simple terms, this is the best album I own, out of several hundred!
Kelly Clarkson is not only naturally talented, but you can hear the dedication, the passion and the love for her craft as she wrings every ounce of emotion out of this outstanding album,
if you love good music of any genre, then there's a good chance you would love this too,

Well for starters, i'm a rock girl, so I wasn't expecting to like this album at all, but every single i've heard, i've really liked. Listening to the album is no dissapointment - nearly every song is brilliant, I could rate Kelly amongst my other favourite singers such as Sarah McLachlan and Aimee Mann. It's suprisingly mature songwriting, I was expecting vacuous pop music but it's emotional, passionate music that you can (try) and sing along to.
Definately going to be stuck in my cd player for a while, great album from Kelly Clarkson, not what I expected from a Pop Idol winner!

this album is excellant. i'm usually an urban lover but i heard this album and i was impressed by the 'adult' lyrics and the rocky (but not heavy) music. it's kind of like a p!nk album but less controversial lol.
all in all, kelly clarkson could of gone down the teen pop idol direction and quite frankly ruined her career whilst doing so but with this album im sure she'll be sticking around a bit longer and i look forward to her next release!
