While Kelly Clarkson’s last album Breakaway is my most played album of all time and on my list of top albums, her latest My December fell short of achieving the same status in my iPod. While many singers trying to distance themselves from the label Pop by diving into R&B, Punk Rock etc. Kelly was pretty comfortable of being in the pop category and her last album really was an awesome pop album, not so much with this new one. Even if you didn’t read the gossip page but just by listening to her new album you can just know that she experienced an ugly breakup and pour all her angry into her music. I always favorite lyric over melody when listen to music, but here she so desperately trying to express her anger and heartbreak that it overwhelm everything, especially the melody of all the songs are not as strong as the last album. It’s like the balance is lost between lyric and melody that all I heard was words. Not to said it’s all bad, there’s a few songs that somehow achieved the balance – such is the case of “Never Again”, which become a catchy song that I like a lot. But the album as a whole was somewhat disappointing consider how much i like her previous ones. Then again there are still good gems within, angry chick music definitely come in handy when you are upset. There’s this one song that is very much how I feel right now – and the title happen to be How I Feel.

Oh, I’m getting tired of believing
Even sicker of pretending
That it’s not so bad, just wait it out
Oh, I think you’re feeding me lies again
The only good man left wasn’t him
And that’s how I feel right now so just let me be
Let me be

It seems every time I find a good man
He’s got a good little wife
I’m not jealous but I won’t lie
I don’t want to hear about your wonderful life
And babies everywhere I look
Trophy wives with their little black books
At this rate I’m gonna end up alone
It’s probably all my fault, all my fault

Oh, another dead end:again

Oh, I’m getting tired of believing
Even sicker of pretending
That it’s not so bad, just wait it out
Oh, I think you’re feeding me lies again
The only good man left wasn’t him
And that’s how I feel right now

Bitter pill that I’ve swallowed
Just how low can my heart sink
Fairy tales from so long ago
Save them for someone that’s not smart enough to know

‘Cause I, I’m getting tired of believing
I’m through pretending
Yeah I’m broken and sad so I’ll sit this one out
Oh I think you’re feeding me lies again
The only good man left wasn’t him
And that’s how I feel right now

How I feel right now
How I feel right now
How I feel right now
Let me be
