Cons: Some of the Lyrics are questionable? Are they up to par?
Kelly obviously knows how to make a good record! THANKFUL was amazing, and it was risky attempting to try and top that. She also took a very big risk by changing her style into more Rock, rather than Pop. This is one of those Albums that make you think "hmm...I don't know?" because it is difficult to attain the success she achieved with THANKFUL. But after listening to it several time, one may get attached and realize..."this is just as good as the first, if not better!" Every track on the CD is Phenomenal, but the tracks Breakaway, Since U Been Gone, Because of You, Walk Away, and Hear Me...personalize the CD, not only for Kelly, but for her listeners as well. People can actually relate to the songs. I personally believe that some of the songs had questionable lyrics. It seemed as if...some of the songs didn't flow, but her fantastic voice made up for that. The live rendition of Beautiful Disaster is wonderful and makes a great closing track for the CD. If you ask me...the Album is just as AMAZING as the first...and Kelly has proven she really is a musician. She couldn't "BREAKAWAY" from her Pop, American Idol reputation in a better way! ...

Pro Reviews: Breakaway
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Kelly Clarkson was the first American Idol winner and the first vocalist to achieve success, but her 2003 debut, Thankful, didn't completely define her outside of the parameters of the show. While the dancepop and adult contemporary ballads on that record were fresher than the music on AmIdol, Clarkson still hadn't escaped the show's shadow entirely: since it was a hit so close to her time on TV, it was easy to pigeonhole her as simply a creation of television, not a popular singer in her own right. So, her second album, Breakaway, released late in 2004, was a pivotal moment for her, a chance to prove that she was not a onehit wonder, a chance to prove that she could have a real, vibrant career. Happily, Breakaway delivers on that promise. This time around, the dancepop elements have been almost entirely stripped away, and the record instead is a rockinfluenced, MOR pop affair, not entirely dissimilar to Ashlee Simpson's Autobiography, only a little bit smoother and not as heavy on guitars. Since Clarkson is a better singer than Simpson not only does she possess more chops, but she has more onrecord charisma she can sell the material even when the slow tempos in the middle of record drag its momentum; she prevents the songs from sounding too samey. While there may be one too many ballads here, they often are very good and sometimes are excellent, like the light, layered, yearning title tune. Clarkson may be a fine ballad singer, but what gives Breakaway its spine are the driving, anthemic pop tunes like "Since U Been Gone," "Walk Away," and "You Found Me." These are the numbers that sound simultaneously mainstream and youthful, which is a hard trick to pull off, and they are the tracks that illustrate that Kelly Clarkson is a rare thing in the 2000s: a pop singer who's neither hip nor square, just solidly and enjoyably in the mainstream. After a bunch of rather blah mainstream pop albums, including a glut of halfbaked AmIdol projects, this is a nice, lowkey relief. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |
