Talented Clarkson Plays It Safe In Her Debut, 'Thankful'

[angel1982]

Julia Ziegler of the Penn State Collegian reviewed last season's 'American Idol' champ Kelly Clarkson's debut album 'Thankful'. Ziegler writes, "A lot of the album has an R&B feel to it ('Some Kind of Miracle' and 'What's Up Lonely'), but it doesn't push her voice to its full capability. The other half of the songs remind you of songs you would hear playing in the background of a movie about a girl taking a long road trip by herself ('Just Missed the Train' and 'Beautiful Disaster.') -- all good to sing along to, just not that challenging to sing."

Personally, my favorite tracks on Thankful were the songs that she didn't overdo the vocal acrobatics. Actually, I thought the control and restraint Kelly showed in some songs really proved that she's more than merely a power belter. She's a versatile singer who doesn't need to sing at the top of her lungs all of the time to prove what an extraordinary voice she has. :)

Eh, but if she thinks Kelly isn't using her voice to it's full capabilities, so be it. I don't really agree with her though. :p
