Poor Kelly Clarkson. The woman tried to make an honest living by writing her own songs but just couldn’t make it in the pop world. It’s a bit unfortunate. I wanted her to emerge as a successful singer-songwriter. I really did. But I also missed the amazing pop hooks her “Breakaway” record perfected. So I’m glad Kelly has decided to come back to us full-force with the enigmatic “My Life Would Suck Without You.” At least she can rely on her vocal ability to bring life to the pop songs witten for her.
