RichardRJun 26, 2007This album severely lacks hooks. Clive was right in saying the album lacks hits. However, its personal and unified and showcases Kelly the artist. Hopefully she'll grow with her next record but untill then, this won't be getting many spins from this huge Kelly fan

jakeKJul 2, 2007My december is a strong overall album. Kelly's stunning vocals shine through all 14 tracks.

Jun 24, 2018This is her darkest album to date. Very risque and artistic. She went against her label and although it didn't pay off with the public response, it is a great album and adds to her pop-rock status.

Sep 9, 2017A generic pop star trying to be a rock god? Still laughable after all these years.
Honey, turning the guitars up to 11 won't make your album as rock as the rest. -

LindajJun 29, 2007Bought this album yesterday. Not impressed. There seems to be something missing. I expected more from Kelly.

JoshKJun 30, 2007The only songs on the album worth listening to are Be Still and Irvine. The rest is crap. I wish she would realize that she is not the writer that she thinks she is and get some help next time. She has the chops, but come on, this is embarassing.

CarolynM.Jun 30, 2007Sounds like a 7th graders diary to me. Kelly really needs to figure out who she is. Pop one minute, wannabe Rocker Chick the next, and now thinking of Country? What's next?

MarieWJul 1, 2007This is not entertaining at all. Singing about yourself and what you want is great, but listeners want things that appeal to them as well. She is not producing a CD for herself so she should remember that. Seems the negative comments are definitely not being posted here.

ChrisHJul 5, 2007Artists should grow, not decline. This is terrible; there is no growth, only deteriation. Save yourself the money and avoid it. Save yourself the time and do not download it. And save your ears and change the channel if it ever starts playing.

DonWJun 29, 2007Pretty bad with lots of shouting. Dark and gloomy. Just too revengeful and spiteful, yet also childish and immature. Basically a mess.

JanJun 29, 2007I tried to listen to it but they all sounded alike. I just wish she wouldn't scream. I miss the happy Kelly.

SeymourB.Jun 29, 2007Wow. What happened to you, Kel? You should have listened to Clive. He's going to be even more pissed that he has to send payola checks when he hates the album so much. He will punish you even more than he already has. That's what you get for calling him "dude." Jeez, Kelly, get your head out of your fat keister.

Beckyl.Jun 29, 2007Breakaway was enjoyable and fun!! But MD is full of tepid lyrics and over the top screaming! This album is full of unforgiveness and revenge.. my 14 and 12 yr old daughters say..let go of the grudge already Kelly..

suezyWJun 29, 2007Sorry but I don't like the CD at all. The songs have no real melodies,hooks and the lyrics are just all over the place. I won't be buying it.

ShullyA.Jul 1, 2007Uneven and unfinished. Too long.

GingerJ.Jul 1, 2007I liked a few songs on this CD but for the most part bleh.

tammyp.Jul 9, 2007Kelly has a great voice, she needs to stay more comtemporary and leave the writing of lyrics to someone else.

JoeyMAug 30, 2007I am a huge fan of Kelly's previous work...but I'msorry...she took such a big risk by releasing this album....now she must pay the price its such a vengeful album...though i loved 'yeah' and 'one minute' there the only decent uplifting songs...the rest is a complete misery fest I'm sorry but what a complete letdown 2 breakaway.

She writes in bland generalities... and uses her opulent voice as a battering ram.
-
Kelly Clarkson's darker, more personal, riskier third CD.
-
There are no hooks, nothing to suck in the many adults that liked Clarkson's first two records.
