She writes in bland generalities... and uses her opulent voice as a battering ram.
-
There are no hooks, nothing to suck in the many adults that liked Clarkson's first two records.
-
"My December" isn’t a shocking change of direction, though it’s also not very good.
-
"My December" offers an appealing if uneven snapshot of a girl with a big voice and big emotions who's in transition.
-
Moving further away from sugar-coated post-Idol fare, Clarkson steps up with more rockers and a few ballads that, while not all destined to be radio hits, are all convincing and emotionally bare.
-
An uneven album with some tremendous bright spots.
-
The tunes come up seriously short on choruses and heavy on the Alanis Morissette references.
-
Much of "My December" lacks the precisely engineered hooks that made Clarkson famous.
