With their first (and hopefully not last) solo album proves the almost 20-year-old Texan, she is one of the rising stars of heaven on pop and you lot will hear from her in the future so. The album is a more than successful blend of gentle ballads ("Some Kind of Miracle" / "The Trouble with Love Is" / "Anytime"), faster and popigeren songs ("Miss Independent" / "Low" / "Such a beautiful disaster ")), R 'n' B ajar numbers (" What's up Lonely "/" You Thought Wrong ") and songs that you can not fit into any of the known categories at first sight (or on first hearing) ( "Just missed the Rain" / "Thankful"). While the album is really good, but nothing beats live recordings of Kelly's' performances, because only there one recognizes its really fantastic voice and their entire range. Unlike other artists in this industry Kelly convinces particularly by its live performances and proves that she is more than a mere pop-product of a successful TV show. Of course, on the album, the already known title of her, "A Moment Like This" and "Before Your Love", but in a slightly different form. Nevertheless, even these titles distinctive and go directly from the brain to the heart or in the faster numbers in the legs. Kelly Clarkson is thus a name you should remember, but probably you will not get around in the next few years in the pop world to their name and with their first album "Thankful" they need not hide behind the well-known names in the industry.
