Coming off being voted the overall winner of the AMERICAN IDOL TV competition, Kelly Clarkson had big expectations to meet once she hit the studio to record her debut. Luckily, it was one of those few instances where the general public threw their lot in with a genuine talent and as a result, THANKFUL turns out to be solid demonstration of Kelly's wide-ranging abilities. Pop guru Clive Davis oversees the proceedings from his executive producer perch and on the Mariah-like opener "The Trouble With Love Is" and the gospel-flavored Diane Warren-penned power ballad "Some Kind of Miracle," you can hear what Davis gleaned from working with prima divas like Whitney Houston.
The grande dame of reality TV also shows off her compositional skills on collaborations with fellow teen idol Christina Aguilera (a hard-edged "Miss Independent") and R&B smoothie Babyface (the soulful title track). There's even a duet with friend and fellow contestant Tamyra Gray on the sizzling "You Thought Wrong." Fans riding the Kelly Clarkson train from early on get their due as well, via new mixes of the genial Texan's double-sided debut single "A Moment Like This/Before Your Love" tacked on as bonus tracks.
Industry Reviews
...Clarkson glides through octaves with the masterful control of someone who's been doing this for decades... - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (04/25/2003)
3 stars out of 5 - ...Her high notes are sweet and pillowy, her growl is bone-shaking and sexy....THANKFUL is testament to marketable young ladies with more talent than artistic freedom...
