    Appalling that people still laud an admitted child abuser. Kelly Clarkson should be locked up in prison for beating up her children. Unbelievable! #MuteKellyClarkson

    A tiring and generic album coming straight from America's favorite racist. Yay.

    This was so disappointing to me. Kelly Clarkson is way better than this. She should go back to music like Walk Away and Behind These Hazel Eyes. Horrible.

  1. She just tries it all, co-writing six of All I Ever Wanted's 14 tracks-- and stumbles only rarely
  2. All I Ever Wanted is a masterful rapprochement with the mainstream, full of cheerfully ear-snagging tunes, inventive production, exhilarating vocals and enough inherent Kelly-ness to put aside fears that her label bosses implanted blond electrodes in her brain to make her behave.
  3. As a product that needs to sell it fits the bill perfectly - there are at least five potential top ten singles here--but as an album, the whole thing feels precision tooled, vacuum-packed and strangely lifeless.
