Kelly Clarkson’s Debut Seems Too Crafted

Ariel Ronneburger of The Cornell Daily Sun reviewed last season’s ‘American Idol’ champ Kelly Clarkson’s debut album ‘Thankful’, giving it 2 1/2 stars. Ronneburger writes, “Clarkson’s debut just seems too crafted by music industry bigwigs; the obvious commercial drive behind her management affects both the sound and lyrics. While ‘Thankful’ shows there’s no question about Clarkson’s credibility as a gifted vocalist, the entire CD has the feel of a sweet Texas girl being shoved into the spotlight — from her airbrushed image on the cover to the carefully crafted sure-to-be radio hits.”
