The album is packed with songs by great producers, great songwriters and lead by Kelly's amazing voice. It feels like a young woman's diary, filled with pain, pleasure and touch of cynicism that feels just right. This album shows how versatile her voice is, and her complete control & wonderful range of her exquisite vocals. Glancing at the liner notes, we find that Clarkson is credited as either the main writer or as a smaller contributor on several tracks. Looking further, we find she provides all vocals (including all background vocals) throughout the entire disc. Amazing. Nope, no silly posturing, no gratuitous self-promotion, no flashy studio trickery here. Just great, great music from a great artist. This album deserves to become a classic.
'Breakaway', the first song, was written by Avril Lavigne (among others) and Kelly Clarkson does it perfect justice. It's a medium slow one with some fantastic vocals in the chorus and the last verse.
'Since U Been Gone' has an incredibly catchy bridge and chorus, and is a more up-beat contrast to the first song. This song will gets you up and movin' in your seats.
'Behind These Hazel Eyes' has some great guitar, and is similar in structure to 'Since U Been Gone'; a slightly quieter verse compared to a loud-ish chorus. Kelly also co-wrote this song. You'll find yourself singing after you listened to it. Just great
'Because of You' is probably the most powerful ballad on this album, and was again co-written by Clarkson herself. While the vocals are still excellent and she makes good use of her range, her voice is kept gentle to match the style of the song and changes accordingly with it; this song really reflects the immense talent she has.
'Gone' is an uptempo number, but it works perfectly! It's so catchy, very cool chorus & verses. One word: FUN!
'Addicted' is a mid-tempo/dark feel track but combines guitar and other instruments with it! The lyrics are well-written, and it's so haunting! This is definitely one of the best tracks of this album, and you will be `addicted' to it!
'Where Is Your Heart' is another ballad. Kelly really makes you feel emotions through the song very well.
'Walk Away' is quite a funky song, with a really good rhythm. It's hard to stop wiggling away to it in your chair while listening!
'You Found Me' is very easy to listen to, and the chorus is fast paced. The way she sings the verses is good and suits the melody perfectly.
'I Hate Myself For Losing You' is another fantastic song. It quakes with emotion. It soothes. It enchants. Kelly is a masterful & passionate storyteller.
'Hear Me' is another dark power ballad. It starts slowly but explodes at the chorus. The piano is brilliant and the guitar in the chorus is amazing. Another fabulous display of her lyrical ability and her amazing vocal!
`Beautiful Disaster (Live)', this live version, captures the quietness of the song perfectly and it's so beautiful. Kelly's vocal really soar in this song.
All in all, this album is brilliant; the vocals are amazing, and there is a good range of music style from the American Idol winner. Kelly also shows that her talent is in writing music as well; she has co-written a number of songs from the album, all of different varieties. The songs are well written and the vocals are phenomenal she has surpassed American Idol; she's a diva and a force to be reckoned with. Kelly is unstoppable.

I basically bought this album for the different cover than what was released in the US.
But all in all. Every track on this CD is wonderful... starting with her most successful, title-track Breakaway. Since U Been Gone is a fun energetic song that everyone and their dogs know, Behind these hazel eyes is the best one in my opinion. Its her current single in the US, Because Of You is now being released on August 16th to radio, and thats a very pretty as well as heartbreaking song. Gone is a fun song. Very in your face go to hell kinda song. addicted will be the 5th single, and is very... sexy. Its about an obsession with someone. Where Is Your Heart is a pretty rock ballad, about being with someone that you dont even know if they wanna be there with you... Walk Away is kind of in a way the sequel to Where Is Your Heart. She says "if you dont know the answer why you still standing here, hey hey hey just walk away". You Found Me is good, but could be better. Its a song I like to sing to my closest friends. I Hate Myself For Losing You is one of those sassy rock songs, Hear Me is all out rock! This is one of my favs on the album. She wrote it about the music industry.. and of course, Beautiful Disaster. which she performed this way on her Independent Tour 2004 with Clay. Beautiful...... the piano is the best. A great way to close a perfect album
Excellent CD December 20, 2005

I love this cd. Every song is great. I thought it was impossible to be better than the original version, but I was wrong. Apparently Kelly can be better than perfect. Every single on this cd has gone to number one, and if you liked the original you will love this version. It has everything the original has, plus more. Everyone will love this album.
P.S. To the reviewer below me, Kelly has had tons of problems getting a record deal before American Idol. They all thought she sounded black. Believe me, I'm her number one fan, I would know.
One of the greatest CDs ever! December 5, 2005

I like alot of female singers and Kelly is definatley one of them. She has alot going for her and her voice is awesome! Every song on this album is wonderful. You will not be disapointed, in my opinion even if she wasent on American Idol, I think she would have gotten a record deal with no problem. She will be around for a long time!
