Can't wait for My December.
There's been so much publicity for it... it's going to be a really personal record. Quite rocky but still a lot of variation.
Kelly said it's totally different to Thankful and Breakaway. She didn't want to stick to the same formula as Breakaway... even though her record company really wanted her too.
Simon Cowell's had his say aswell...
Quote:
Simon Defends Kelly
The ''Idol'' judge tells EW in no uncertain terms that Clarkson's earned the right to call the shots on her new CD, ''because Kelly will be here for 30 years''
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SIMON COWELL:''Kelly is not a puppet; she does not like to be told what to do. She could have gone the easy route, which is, you go with ['Since U Been Gone' producer] Max Martin — it's a guaranteed success. She made it absolutely clear that she wanted to steer the musical direction on this record. You just gotta say, 'You know what? This girl has given us millions and millions of sales.' You've got to give her that opportunity. If it works out, fantastic. If she then decides she wants to do a pop album, every good writer and producer wants to work with her. Because Kelly will be here for 30 years. She has one of the best pop voices in the world right now. What she sold in the U.K., Europe, Asia had nothing to do with American Idol. It had everything to do with the fact that she made a great record and she's got an incredible voice. She's not a girl who got lucky in a talent competition; we got lucky to find her.''

I love that last line!
