  1. Her voice, at times raspy, at times beautifully sultry, is a potent reminder of why America embraced her.
  2. A sharp, versatile modern pop record, showcasing her voice, to be sure, but being much better than expectations, much better than the scores of flop diva records that cluttered the pop landscape in late 2002.
  3. There is an army of producers, songwriters and guests that make Thankful's mom-approved hip-hop beats and love songs feel as contrived as Clarkson's perfectly placed highlights.

    Very good album. The standout track is by far 'Just Missed The Train'. Too bad her sophmore effort couldn't be as good as this Very good album. The standout track is by far 'Just Missed The Train'. Too bad her sophmore effort couldn't be as good as this outstanding album. I hope she returns to this music really soon, because this whole rocker-chick thing isn't workin' dude! Full Review »
