so this is what 'suck' sounds like. the album leaked last friday and all the rumours about it being a hitless collection (that label boss clive davis tried to have re-recorded) is true. it's a real shame since i do count myself as a fan of kelly. but nothing on this album has the immediacy of a 'since you been gone' or the dramatics of 'because of you'. like i said, a real shame.
UPDATE: turns out kelly clarkson had issues with the release of her album too. she just sacked her manager jeff kwatinetz (who was rumored to be pressuring kelly to release the album as soon as possible in order to coincide with a summer tour). read all about it from US weekly.

you're an idiot.
the album doesn't suck one bit.
go clean out your ears.
oh goodie! hate mail!
if this person can come back and tell me how musically this album is good, then please do so.
i didn't hear anything worth remembering.
just recently found your site while looking for the new rilo kiley on hype machine. spent some time this morning reading through some of your archives. really, really, have enjoyed your blog.
in defense of kelly, can i ask if you heard the actual album or the verion leaked to the internet last month? i'm pretty sure the leak didn't include "chivas," a hidden track that's the best thing on the album, by far. sure, it blatantly cribs the intro to the pixies' "where is my mind," but its bluesy-acoustic style -- and, dude, the lyrics! -- are worth a listen, i think.
i've linked it here, along with "irvine," another favorite from the (admittedly disappointing overall) album:
