Music
Thankful
Released: January 2001
The credits read like a 'Who's Who in the Music Business,' provided names such as Diane Warren, Desmond Child, and Clive Davis ring your musical insider bell. There was no way that a television-developed musical discovery from the wondrously popular American Idol was going to be left in the hands of second-rate hacks. Get me Babyface Edmonds on the phone, and tell Corey Feldman to stay home! No, when 57 percent of the voting public order up 21-year-old Texan Kelly Clarkson as their queen for a night, you don't settle for obvious leftovers. Thankful is everything an American Idol viewer would expect from a debut album: the musical drama of Meat Loaf, Celine Dion, and the crew from Titanic, the R&B pyrotechnics of Whitney Houston, the (sub)urban melodrama of Mariah Carey and lots and lots of vocal gymnastics.

The Trouble With Love IsListen Written By: Kelly Clarkson/Evan Rogers/Carl Sturken
Oooh oooh, ooooh yeah, mmmm...
Love can be a many splendored thing
Can't deny the joy it brings
A dozen roses, diamond rings
Dreams for sale and fairy tales
It'll make you hear a symphony
And you just want the world to see
But like a drug that makes you blind,
It'll fool ya every time
The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn't care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See, you got no say at all
Now I was once a fool, it's true
I played the game by all the rules
But now my world's a deeper blue
I'm sadder, but I'm wiser too
I swore I'd never love again
I swore my heart would never mend
Said love wasn't worth the pain
But then I hear it call my name
(The trouble with) The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn't care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See, you got no say at all
Every time I turn around
I think I've got it all figured out
My heart keeps callin' and I keep on fallin'
Over and over again
The sad story always ends the same
Me standin' in the pourin' rain
It seems no matter what I do
It tears my heart in two
(The trouble with love is) The trouble with love, yeah
(It can tear you up inside) It can tear you up inside
(Make your heart believe a lie) Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
(The trouble with love is)
It's in your heart
It's in your soul (doesn't care how fast you fall)
You won't get no control
(and you can't refuse the call)
See, you got no say at all
(The trouble with love is) Oh, yeah
(It can tear you up inside)
(Make your heart believe a lie)

Miss IndependentListen Written By: Christina Aguilera/Kelly Clarkson/Rhett Lawrence/Matt Morris
Miss independent
Miss self-sufficient
Miss keep your distance, no
Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her throne
So, by keeping her heart protected
She’d never ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in love
What is the feelin’ takin’ over?
Thinkin’ no one could open the door
Surprise...it’s time
To feel what’s real
What happened to miss independent?
No more the need to be the missus
Goodbye, oh you
Will love, will love this too
Little miss independent walked away
I’m so glad I finally feel...
What is the feelin’ takin’ over?
Thinkin’ no one could open the door
Surprise (surprise), it’s time
To feel (to feel) what’s real
What happened to miss independent?
No more the need to be the missus
Goodbye, oh you
Will love, will love this too...

LowListen Written By: Jimmy Harry
Everybody’s talking
But they don’t say a thing
They look at me with sad eyes
But I don’t want the sympathy
Its cool you didn’t want me
Sometimes you can’t go back
But why’d you have to go and make a mess like that
Well I just have to say
Before I let go
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low
No I don’t need your number
There’s nothing left to say
Except I never thought it'd hurt this much to be saved
My friends are outside waiting
I’ve gotta go
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low
What you did was low (low)
What you did was low (low)
What you did was low (low)
I walk out of this darkness
With no sense of regret
And I go with a clear conscience
We both know that you can’t say that
Here's to show
For all the time I loved you so…
So...
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
Cuz what you did was low

Some Kind of MiracleListen Written By: Diane Warren
Prayed for an angel
To come in the night
Shine some sweet light on me
Found only strangers
Then you came to me
Just when i givin up
You gave me love
My world was tumblin down
You turned it around, baby
You're some kind of miracle
Ohhhhhh, You, You, Youuuuu are
You're a miracle to me
Sweet revelation
That look in your eyes
Your touch in the night
I found the sweetest salvation
In your arms baby
When there's no mornin sun
Your tender love
Came and just lifted me up
Look what you've done baby
You, you're some kind of miracle
Ohh, you, you, you are
You're a miracle to me
You brought joy to my heart
I found love in your arms
See what you've done to me
You set my soul so free
You came and you gave me the love that i need
Oh you, you're some kind of miracle
You, you are
You're a miracle
A miracle to me
Baby you are
Ohh, a miracle to me

Just Missed the TrainListen Written By: Danielle Brisebois/Scott Cutler
Roll over baby
The time has come
To make a little bit more room
I’ve hung around you
It’s getting tough
I think I’m gonna break down soon
Cuz I remember
Crying in the park
It was getting dark
Suddenly I looked up
You were my sky
So go on
And sleep darlin
Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream
It’s cool baby
It doesn’t matter anyway
Well I’m so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
Such a shame
We just missed the train
We just missed the train
Be quiet angel
Don’t make a sound
Save it for a rainy day
Oh can’t you see me
I’m such a mess
Trying hard to find my way
Do you remember wasting all the time
We were feeling fine
Though we couldn't walk a line,
We were all right
So go on
And sleep darlin
Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream
It’s cool baby
It doesn’t matter anyway
Well I’m so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
Such a shame
We just missed the train
Oh why'd that train just pass us by
Didn’t anyone see we were stuck at the line
And we would've made it on time
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
So sleep darlin
Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream
It’s cool baby
It doesn’t matter anyway
Well I’m so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
And sleep darlin
Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream
It’s cool baby
It doesn’t matter anyway
Well I’m so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
Such a shame
We just missed the train

Beautiful DisasterListen Written By: Jordan, Rebekah/Matthew Wilder
He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He’s as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain’t right
It just ain’t right
Oh and i don’t know
I don’t know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight
Hold on tight
Oh cuz I don’t know
I don’t know what he’s after
But he’s so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm searchin for some kind of miracle
Waited so long
So long
He’s soft to the touch
But frayed at the end he breaks
He’s never enough
And still he's more than I can take
Oh cuz I don’t know
I don’t know what he’s after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
He’s beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster

You Thought WrongListen Written By: Kelly Clarkson/Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds/Tamyra Gray/Harvey Mason, Jr./Damon Thomas
I see how your trying to weasel
Your way in
Boy I know how you maneuveur
With your confusion
You tell me that I’m your only
And how bad that you want me
Well then why are you so shady
If I’m supposed to be your lady
Why should I believe anything you say
And how could you shame me that way
Tell me where where did you get the nerve
To even think that you you could
Play me wrong
You thought we didn’t know
You thought we were in the dark
But boy your covers blown
Cause we both know now
You thought you had us fooled
At your beck & call
But now who’s the joke
And look who’s laughing now
Now your trying to use us against one another
But it won’t work
I see right though your game boy
And I know exactly where to play boy
You tried to deny all your actions
For once in your life be a real man
At least give me the proper respect
Of the truth I already know you did it
Why should I believe anyting you say
And how could you shame me that way
Tell me where did you get the nerve
To even think that you could
Play me wrong
You thought we didn’t know
You thought we were in the dark
But boy your covers blown
Cause we both know now
You thought you had us fooled
At your beck & call
But now who’s the joke
And look who’s laughing now
I see right through you baby
Try not to be like you don’t want me
Why don’t you get it through your thick head
Cause I’ve seen this game before
And I’m not trying to see it no more
Shut your mouth
I’m not trying to hear your lies
No not again
Sorry you couldn’t be a better man
You thought we didn’t know
You thought we were in the dark
But boy your covers blown
Cause we both know now
You thought you had us fooled
At your beck & call
But now who’s the joke
And look who’s laughing now
Guess you thought wrong
Look who’s laughing now
You stupid

A Moment Like ThisListen Written By: Elofsson, Jörgen/John Reid
What if I told you
No lyrics
It was all meant to be
Would you believe me
Would you agree
It’s almost that feelin
That we’ve met before
So tell me that you don’t think I’m crazy
When I tell you love has come here and now
A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can’t believe it’s happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Everything changes
But beauty remains
Something so tender
I can’t explain
Well I may be dreamin
But still lie awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I’ll cherish all the love we share
Could this be the reign of love above
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people spend two lifetimes
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh I can’t believe it’s happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment
Like this
Oh, like this
Some people search forever oh yeah
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment
Like this.

Before Your LoveListen Written By: Gary Burr/Desmond Child/Cathy Dennis
I wonder how I ever made it through the day
How did I settle for a world in shades of gray?
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don’t know how
And I looked into your eyes
With the world stretched out in front of me and I realized
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again, I wasn’t really living
I never lived before your love
I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you when my heart was in your hands
And I don’t know how
I survived without your kiss
’cause you’ve given me a reason to exist
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again, I wasn’t really living
I never lived
I never lived before your love
I never lived before your love
And I don’t know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breathed your love into me just in time
I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again, I wasn’t really living
I never lived
I never lived before your love
I AM KELLY
Wow .....Dear Scott Borchetta,
Wed, 03 Feb 2010 23:32:00 -0800Wow .....Dear Scott Borchetta, I understand defending your artist obviously because I have done the same in the past for artists I like, including Taylor, so you might see why it's upsetting to read you attacking American Idol for producing simply vocalists that hit 'the high notes'. Thank you for that 'Captain Obvious' sense of humor because you know what, we not only hit the high notes, you forgot to mention we generally hit the 'right' notes as well. Every artist has a bad performance or two and that is understandable, but throwing blame will not make the situation at hand any better. I have been criticized left and right for having shaky performances before (and they were shaky) and what my manager or label executives say to me and the public is "I'll kick butt next time" or "every performance isn't going to be perfect" ......I bring this up because you should take a lesson from these people and instead of lashing out at other artists (that in your 'humble' opinion lack true artistry), you should simply take a breath and realize that sometimes things won't go according to plan or work out and that's okay. Sincerely,One of those contestants from American Idol who only made it because of her high notes ;)

So I promised some people that I would try out…
Sun, 03 Jan 2010 12:07:00 -0800So I promised some people that I would try out twitter this year. I have been avoiding it like the black plague but I will try it out :) It's not that I'm against twitter or blogging. I just can't fathom why anyone would care enough about what I have to say ....BUT what I find annoying/ridiculous/really sad for humanity is when people pretend that they're me on all these different sites. I mean, seriously?! What kind of pathetic person goes around impersonating other people and having full on conversations as if they have somehow coached themselves into thinking they are actually me. I promise all of you, I'm not that interesting. If you want to impersonate someone, aim higher for the love of all that is holy :) I just twittered for the first time today and just so everyone knows, my 'real' twitter is 'kelly_clarkson'. twitter.com/kelly_clarksonOn a completely separate note, I went to the Cowboys game today at the new stadium and had a lot of fun with my mom, sis, and a few friends. I don't know why I said Cowboys game in that last sentence ...what I should have said was "I went to the Eagles massacre today" because they didn't even score! That's really sad. hahaha GO COWBOYS!!!!Later,Kelly
