You know, the albums made with musicians who actually knew how to play. Max Martin is a ****ing genius!I also like the old school rock stuff too.

I'm sure there's many people here who hate Backstreet Boys too, but I actually think the songwriting and production are top notch. I just think that most people (especially here) are going to slam an album just because the artist in question didn't have to "pay their dues". There's a song on Kelly's album written by John Shanks who I think is an absolute awesome songwriter/producer. I think it's much better than her last album. She had also expressed intentions to record with. ![]() In early 2003, Kelly began working on new material for her second studio album which followed her successful debut album Thankful while co-headlining the Independent Tour with Clay Aiken (the runner-up from the second season of 'American Idol'). But if your not into hooks and pop music, then I can see how someone would hate it. Breakaway is Kelly Clarkson's sophomore album. After a bunch of rather blah mainstream pop albums, including a glut of half-baked AmIdol projects, this is a nice, low-key relief.Actually I like the LL album. Clarkson may be a fine ballad singer, but what gives Breakaway its spine are the driving, anthemic pop tunes like "Since U Been Gone," "Walk Away," and "You Found Me." These are the numbers that sound simultaneously mainstream and youthful, which is a hard trick to pull off, and they are the tracks that illustrate that Kelly Clarkson is a rare thing in the 2000s: a pop singer who's neither hip nor square, just solidly and enjoyably in the mainstream. While there may be one too many ballads here, they often are very good and sometimes are excellent, like the light, layered, yearning title tune. Since Clarkson is a better singer than Simpson - not only does she possess more chops, but she has more on-record charisma - she can sell the material even when the slow tempos in the middle of record drag its momentum she prevents the songs from sounding too samey. This time around, the dance-pop elements have been almost entirely stripped away, and the record instead is a rock-influenced, MOR pop affair, not entirely dissimilar to Ashlee Simpson's Autobiography, only a little bit smoother and not as heavy on guitars. Happily, Breakaway delivers on that promise. Da da ra ra ra ra ra / Da ra ra ra ra ra / Da ra ra ra ra ra ra / Da ra ra ra ra ra ra / Da ra ra ra. So, her second album, Breakaway, released late in 2004, was a pivotal moment for her, a chance to prove that she was not a one-hit wonder, a chance to prove that she could have a real, vibrant career. While the dance-pop and adult contemporary ballads on that record were fresher than the music on AmIdol, Clarkson still hadn't escaped the show's shadow entirely: since it was a hit so close to her time on TV, it was easy to pigeonhole her as simply a creation of television, not a popular singer in her own right. Kelly Clarkson was the first American Idol winner and the first vocalist to achieve success, but her 2003 debut, Thankful, didn't completely define her outside of the parameters of the show. ![]()
