I have to admit as much as I love Ms. Clarkson, this album just isn't as great as it could have been. Though her vocals are truly amazing in each track, the songs just lack in style and emotion. The songs "What's Up Lonely" and "Beautiful Disaster" are the weakest songs in the album, it felt like she was forced to sing the song. Even though the cd had a lot of weak points in it, it had some huge moments in it, like the dance-pop style of "Miss Independent" and the two amazing R&B songs "Some Kind Of Miracle" and "The Trouble With Love Is". The title track "Thankful" is a very bland song but it truly showed Kelly's soulful side in her. The last three songs which happens to be ballads are very good song but "Anytime" truly outshined the rest. "Before Your Love" is a very great way to end the CD showing off Kelly's amazing vocals, the note truly showed why she won American Idol. This CD is good but it's not great as we know Kelly is capable of. I feel like the songs her label chose didn't reflect how Kelly felt at that time in her career and weren't chosen with any effort. The purpose was to show off her versitility but it was not a sucessful one. The songs just doesn't gel together. The album for me is just a very decent mediocre debut.
Its not the worst album in the wold..but its not the best and Kelly can do so much better. I love "Miss Independant" and "Low" if you ask me, they are two over her better songs, including the Breakaway tracks to. I love Kellys music but I like this album, if you wanted to buy an album would recommend Breakaway or My December ut if you like ballads with an R&B twist, get this.
I was so thankful myself that she won American Idol and was given this chance for herself and to us. Whether it's in studio or live Kelly masters some very powerful vocals and musters lyrical content that puts you even for just a moment in her heart and where she's coming from. Thank you Kelly.
Kelly so rocks Ilove her songs she is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kelly sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Her voice is fresh, it one of those voices u can't get mixed up with no other voice. THis cd was really good and I enjoyed every minute of it and I still do enjoy it.
I think Breakaway and My Decemer are much better but I like this album too special Low and You thought wrong! Well Thankful was just only the beginning of something special I mean the next great albums!

it was just the start of a great carrear and life for kelly. i have this cd and listen to it all the time. i love to take it to dances it is so fun to dance to. kelly has an amazing voice. i really love her pictures in it. and don't listen to anyone that said it wasn't good i love it. and that is all that counts.lol
This Album Was Definitely A Great Album To Kick Start Kelly's Music Career. I Prefered "Breakaway" And "My December" But this one was just as good. Miss Independant, Low And Beautiful Disaster Are My Favourite Song's Throughout The Whole Album However The Other Ones Where Just As Catchy.

Awsome Songs
Songs of Kelly Clarkson are jawdroping. I love them all. I rated all 5 stars.
Thanful (I am)
I was so thankful myself that she won American Idol and was given this chance for herself and to us. Whether it's in studio or live Kelly masters some very powerful vocals and musters lyrical content that puts you even for just a moment in her heart and where she's coming from. Thank you Kelly.
