Re: KELLY CLARKSON - PIECE BY PIECE THREAD

Oh God! This is officially the end of Kelly Clarkson.

She needs to go get in shape and go back to upbeat pop!!! Not fatter and "soul." Lol

She has completely lost her way as an artist. She can sing any style she wants to and she has over the last few years - pop, rock, ballads, country, Christmas and now soul however her last two albums (not including the Xmas album and Greatest Hits) have been such a mixed bag.

When you think about it "Breakaway" and "All I Ever Wanted" have been her strongest albums start to finish as they were consistent in sound the whole way through and in a sense so was "My December" although not an overall great album.

"Stronger" was a mixed bag and besides the title track and about 3 or 4 other tracks it was poor. "Piece by Piece" besides the title track was absolutely soulless. No identity and generic especially the awful "Heartbeat song". The videos have been absolutely dreadful for nearly a decade now. The only thing that remains is how likability she is and the fact she has one of the best voices in the industry that can move anyone like the American Idol performance. She needs to put that passion into her music again.
