Since U Been Gone..

Kelly Clarkson, everyone knows her as one of the only American Idols who ever made it big. Ruben who? She’s had many accomplishments; five top-ten U.S. singles, three number-one radio hits, and two top-five albums. She took home many awards for her singles off her album “Breakaway” from almost every award ceremony. There was no doubt about it that Kelly was making her dreams come true, and was the “American Idol”. But where did she disappear to? Already selling millions of copies of her first two albums, Kelly was expected to receive nothing but greatness for years to come. But everyone spoke too soon when she released her third album, written all by herself. Where she went wrong was not listening to Clive Davis’ advice on using the same producers as her hit album “Breakaway”. Since her artist independence and leaving Sony-BMG, she has done a complete 360. Kelly has gone from making millions to just a few hundred thousand an album! Her tour for her third album “My December” was soon cancelled due to no sales. The album was criticized and her own fans turned their backs on her due to the musical genre change she had made. She went from pop-rock to a more negative and dark side of music. I was one of the true fans who bought Kelly’s album and I loved every song on the CD, but that’s just my opinion. She wants to be her own person and make her own music and I completely respect her for that. She is a talented artist and deserves to be treated as one, not shunned because Clive Davis says so. Come back soon Kelly!
