I love Ann Powers. I almost always agree with her reviews and think that she offers a lot of insight...I always walk away thinking something new about an album
after reading her reviews. Thanks so much for posting!

Yay, Ann gives Kelly another good rating. 3.5 out of 4!! (at first i thought it was out of 5)
Great writeup -- I especially love the last line. |

They made a correction in todays paper:
Clarkson album: In some editions of today's Calendar section, a review of Kelly Clarkson's "All I Ever Wanted" said it was her third album. It is her fourth. http://www.latimes.com/news/custom/corrections/la-a2-correx28-2009feb28,0,7712669.story |

I remember when Kelly put out My December, she would talk about how she has her "career" in mind, not just the present moment. I think that with the
release of this album, and the fab reviews it's going to receive, we will see where this logic pays off. If Kelly had put out a Breakaway Part 2 instead of
My December, I bet the media and public would care a lot less about Kelly as an artist and write her off much more easily. Kelly knows what she's doing.

Just thought I'd let you know the article has been updatted to correct the 'third album' mistake and change it to fourth.
Plus I love this review, and it's a reason to bump it. That's cool that Ann cares enough to correct her mistake.

Great review!!! I too thought the rating was out of 5 stars. 3.5 out of 4 is excellent, thanks Ann!!!
The "Idol" watchers and Top 40 listeners who made her a star in the first place want the perfect blend of sincerity and catchiness to lift their spirits during a year when nobody needs another breakup album.As much as I love Kelly's darker material, this is a really good point. Even for me personally, I appreciate the happier tone of this era...a really good pick-me-up. Clarkson, ever the overachiever, has delivered on all counts. "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

I thought Kelly was very capable of behaving when she wants to, sans electrodes and microchips.
As usual, an excellent review by Ann Powers, although she definitely pulled a Joe Biden with that third album thing. Now, what will that fat guy from the Chicago Sun-Times write? |
