AndyHJan 8, 2006A superb album that shouldn't be missed by fans of great pop music and/or excellent singing. This is a prodigiously gifted young lady who deserves her success and long may she continue.

SedaA.Dec 8, 2004Kelly is one of few "truly" talented performers left in the business. Her stunning beauty of voice and personality shines through everything she does. With the talent of Miss Clarkson, we can all to hope to see her around for a long time.

JDSep 2, 2005Very 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!

JasonCNov 5, 2006This is a decent album, but not really anything new or ground breaking. Why in the hell did Q magazine give this album a 20? lol! 20! It's not that bad even if you listen to it backwards.

RaghuMMar 22, 2005Its a great album and Kelly has proved that she is not another dissapointing prodigy.Miss Independent is the best of all the tracks.The others are nice and cozy.I recommend this to all folks fed up with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

JohnSep 18, 2003Great voice mixed with great looks. The songs on the album are mainly all very good quality and her powerful voice really shows in alot of the songs. A very good talent from a reality tv show.

Thankful is everything an American Idol viewer would expect from a debut album: the musical drama of Meat Loaf, Celine Dion, and the crew from Titanic, the R&B pyrotechnics of Whitney Houston, the (sub)urban melodrama of Mariah Carey and lots and lots of vocal gymnastics. That it all sounds like it came from a can is beside the point.
-
Despite Clarkson's sublime vocal talents, excessive gloss at times overwhelms the quirky charm and personality she displayed on Idol.
-
Her voice, at times raspy, at times beautifully sultry, is a potent reminder of why America embraced her.
