Review: Just when I was beginning to enjoy her music I find out that her sales are dropping and she’s canceling tours & rejoining AI tours. Maybe she’s doing something right and all those hard of fickle listeners have moved on. Maybe.

She’s embracing her rock side and trying to carve a notch out for her third album. This album is OK. Not the best rock album I’ve heard but also not the worst. The hottest song out is her single Never Again. Like Underwood she’s seeking out revenge via video and it looks good on tape. Now like I advise the rappers and hip hoppers, please ladies let’s keep this on wax. The video sold this single, now can the music sell the album?

I’m going to say kind of. Not all the songs come hard as this one but even ballads can get at you. These aren’t doing it for me. The previous albums had a bit more material but then again Clarkson was breaking away from the Lollipop image of an Idol winner. Now that we have five other Idol winners and a truck load of runner-up & stand-bys running around is the steam running our on the first winner?

Well on June 26th Clarkson might have One Minute left to shine. Good luck and my your accountant invest well for you.

One or two songs sound like Never Again but then again I’m listening to this at 2am…

Hopefully Clarkson is in the studio finishing the real album. Maybe this was something to keep people talking about her. Well it’s working so far.
