Kelly Clarkson - My December

So much so that with My December she ditches her Idols roots and actually tries to reinvent herself as Alanis Morissette's socially conscious little sister. Hell, she's even dragged Stooges’ bassist, L.A. punk legend Mike Watt into the moping mix.

Unfortunately for Kelly it takes more than just a brunette makeover, an aging punk buddy and lyrics boiled in a teen angst bag to pull off real rock rage. On wannabe hard rock aerobic workouts like "Never Again", "One Minute" and "Haunting" she sounds like a miffed cheerleader who didn't make the team.
Even worse, she's plain whiny on dear diary confession "Sober" and nauseatingly tipsy on Janis Joplinesque kiss-offs like "Chivas". It's enough to make you wanna blast out "Breakaway" at her and tell her to cheer up and get over herself.
