Breakaway

This is my favorite CD of Kelly’s so far. She has an incredible range and such pure talent!

I have been a Kelly Clarkson fan, since I accidentially heard her sing "I Surrender" in AI season 1. I had thought that AI was a joke, but I thought if there are other people that sound like this girl..well, maybe I need to watch it. Alas, Kelly is definitely the best of the bunch. I did like her debut album, mainly because Kelly has an incredible tone quality to her voice and you want to hear it regardless of what she is singing. BUT, this album is INCREDIBLE. I thought I would enjoy this, but I found song after song, that I was seeing a whole new side of Kelly Clarkson. Maybe more of the real Kelly... I have to say I'm glad she went this direction with her 2nd album. She really proves she is an all around artist and she can sing any musical genre. I think we may see the masses really wake up to the real talent in this girl. I would be very surprised if this album doesn't have at least another 4 number #1 hits on it (Breakaway already hit #1 on all the charts). If you like: Avril Lavigne, Tori Amos and Evanescence this is your CD.My favorites from the album so far are: Since U Been Gone (has a great hook and a bit of an '80s sound), Behind These Hazel Eyes (rich with meaning), Because of You (haunting and full of depth), Addicted (my favorite, feels a little like Tori Amos, but better), Walk Away (funky and retro, nice addition to the album) and Hear Me (Kelly's anthem). It also has a live version of Beautiful Disaster that shows how powerful she is singing live.All in all- 10/10 probably my favorite album in the last couple of years. Get this CD, this will be the album that makes her more than the original AI winner. She has her own musical voice and wow, I have been waiting to hear a voice like this paired with songs like these for a really long time. A+

Kelly Clarkson really needs no great introduction. Having soldmillions of records worldwide,[This album alone 12 million plus]she is a force to be admired. Mr.Bassman Randy Jackson, one ofthe judges on American Idol knew this after Kelly auditioned,with her voice only..no music![You can watch her audition onYou Tube]She has a powerful voice that hypnotizies some folks. Kelly canrock with the best, and slow it down for a ballad/romantic song.The record Company RCA put their might behind her, along with MaxMartin the producer, and of course Clive Davis. Later it would beSony and Walt Disney that wanted a slice of the cake; but the earlywork is much better. Like this CD?Then came the similarities between Kelly and Avril Lavigne, alsoon RCA/Arista. Well, Avril did co-write the title song for thisalbum along with "Since you been Gone." Therefore nothing seemsamiss with their musical relationship."Breakaway" features outstanding production, and loud musicians.I would have replaced the drummer. His technical skills were notreally in vogue with Kelly and the rest. So...let's give Kellyfour stars based on her terrific abilities to get out of Texasand sing her heart out.Kelly really did "Breakaway".Think I might drive to Texas and see if I can find another Kellyin a small town. Or is that simply duplication, or impossible?

If you've read the reviews, you know you can't go wrong with this fantastic album. I'm still not sick of it, probably never will be. But in this review I want to simply shower this superb singer with high praise. Kelly's talent is IMMENSE and knows no bounds. Her voice is at once honey dripping over sand, falling over gravel, then back to her soothing, clear tone, but with a sound and an edge that is extraordinarily unique and unsurpassed. Beautiful, one-of-a-kind vocals. The end. She can rock, croon, ballad, pretty much anything. And her techique is virtually flawless and natural. Kelly is a SINGER, not a run-of-the-mill pop princess. This woman is still in her twenties. I can't wait to hear what lies ahead! Voices like hers are rare indeed, and come around maybe a few times in a century. I told a friend back in 2004 that I believed Kelly Clarkson may very well become the next Streisand. I'm not comparing her to Streisand, not at all. I'm simply trying to say that this is a HUGE talent that will be with us for many years to come. If you haven't heard her yet, and you appreciate fine vocals and amazing talent, no matter what your age, I can't urge you enough to listen to and fall in love with Kelly Clarkson, possibly the best vocalist of this century - so far.

Great rock album! This version had a second disc whose mixes are more hip-hop than rock. I prefer the first disc myself, but can see where at a club the hip-hop version might play better! It seems the American version never never had the extra hip-hop version disc (disc 2), only this one from what I can tell!Here's what on the discs...Disc: 11.

Este álbum de Kelly, Es mi favorito, sin mencionar que es el álbum con el cual me enamore de ella, el artwork del álbum es muy bonito, comparado a la versión nacional, de verdad recomiendo mil veces mas la importada.

Album is amazing, the songs are great! Love it! But I'm giving less stars because Amazon did not send over the original album and instead sent a fake rip off.

je suis une grande fan de Kelly Clarkson et cet album est à avoir absolument. que le soit fan ou pas d'ailleurs

5 étoiles : changement de style pour Clarkson avec cet album. Après le R&B de Thankful, la chanteuse se lance dans le pop-rock, un style lui allant à ravir ! D'ailleurs, les ventes le montrent...

One of the best album about Kelly :) It's entertaining and you wanna move and dance on all the songs ! lot of rock baby
