Free Music Notes for Thankful

Free Music Review: Thankful for Clarkson
Hit: 5 Stars

1. The Trouble With Love Is: honestly, this song was not initially one of my favorites. It took a while for me to get used to listening to it, and to eventually to like it. This song, currently Clarkson's third single, top 10 MTV TRL, does showcase her vocals. Her strong clear vocals are clearly demonstrated within this song. Not only that, but having co written this song, shows some of her aesthetic talent. Will eventually get good.
"My heart keeps calling, and I keep on falling..."
4/5

2. Miss Independent: the first single that was released and was highly successful as it was the song that started the success of "Thankful". This song's lyrics are very catchy, as the chorus is very edgy and `rockish'. Having Co-Written this song with Christina Aguilera, Kelly has made this song one of her trade marks. Very catchy bass and great bridge.
"When Miss Independent walked away, no time for love that came her way..."
5/5

3. Low: another rock inspired song that showcases Kelly's vocal talents. This is Clarkson's second single release. It wasn't that successful with the musical audience, but I still very much like it. I enjoy the electric guitar in this piece that creates a pulsating tune. I think there is intelligence musical ornamentation within this piece, which can be small and less detailed, but if you pay attention you can hear it.
"I've walked out of this darkness, with much sense of regret..."
5/5

4. Some Kind Of Miracle: another song that took several times for me to like. Although this song was "boring" to me, it has a very catchy melody that just stuck with me until I eventually enjoyed it. The music is very soft and is given emphasis with the beating of the drum and the bass. Great vocals.
"You came and gave me the love that I need"
4/5

5. What's Up Lonely: This song, is catchy, but not as all others. Of all the other tracks, I would think this is my least favorite. The music-drum beat, bass line, etc. and the singing becomes very redundant and becomes boring after a while.
"Just when I think that you're gone, you're in the mirror looking back..."
2/5

6. Just Missed The Train: I very much like this piece. This song has a very catchy chorus. The vocal painting does help create much more dramatic pose to this piece. This song does truly portray Clarkson's vocal abilities. The instrumentation is very nice and creates a nice feel to it, like the intro with the guitar. The song starts of soft, and then becomes much edgier.
"Be quiet angel, don't make a sound ..."
5/5

7. Beautiful Disaster: this song is something I would classify as something that is more of a teen musically structured song. This song is good, but does not compare to many other songs on this track. The instrumentation though is great.
"He's as damned as he seems, and more heaven than a heart can hold.."
3/5

8. You Thought Wrong: this song feature Tamyra Gray, the fourth to last to be eliminated within the AI series. This song is rocky and devotes much vocal abilities. In this song, both showcase their talents, competing to reveal the strength of each voice. Both, Clarkson's and Gray's, vocals compliment each other as they become quite unified during the chorus, and as well as abstract during the verses and add libs. Catchy and great.
"You thought we didn't know, you thought we were in the dark..."
5/5

9. Thankful: is another track that isn't quite catchy on the first listen. It took a while before I caught onto this song, although I must admit that the melody is memorable. This song has nothing to do with being thankful for being the AI winner, but rather for that someone. This song is full of soul and showcases the strength in her voice. Okay, but I would prefer other songs over this.
" You know my soul, and everything about me there's to know..."
3/5

10. Anytime: definitely one of the best songs on this track. It is a nice ballad that isn't too slow. The instrumentation, the vocal layering, helps create great dramatic pose within this song. Originally sung by Mary Griffin, Clarkson does a wonderful job by adding her vocal strength and emphasis to creating this piece of her own. Great song.
"Anytime you need love, baby I'm on your side..."
5/5

11. A Moment Like This: this song has started her career. Although have been released as a single, this piece is surely welcome within "Thankful". This supposedly is a New Mix. The mix is very subtle, even hard to recognize. The only difference is the extra layering of instruments that help to create a more emotional feeling, although very subtle. Great track, great singing.
5/5

12. Before Your Love: is from Kelly's American Idol released single, the second one I would say. This is one of my favorite song from Kelly Clarkson. Again, this is another that was newly mixed. In this piece, the changes are very subtle once again. Besides the new layered instrumentation, there is also some different vocals added, like at the very end of the piece where "Your" is re-edited. The end, "Love" is poorly edited as you can hear such dramatic different volumes. I much recommend the single version over this one.
2/5

Almost reaching the 1000 word limit, all I have to say is Buy this platinum CD. It is great and shows the versatility of a great performer. Expect more from Kelly Clarkson.
