Kelly's amazing! April 7, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
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.

SHE ROCKS! January 25, 2006
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
My wife brought home this disc a few weeks ago and I sure fought it all the way, until she put it on...HEY THIS {LADY} IS PRETTY (...) COOL! SHE ROCKS, AND OF COURSE CAN "REALLY" SING. None of this squealing like a mouse (...). heck, she can even belt it out like the great Ann Wilson of Heart.
Ms. Clarkson has a voice that can send chills down the spine. For this reviewer, the best moment comes at (2:30) during the climax of "Since U Been Gone". This has to be one of the best vocal performances during a repeat chorus in many, many years.
BREAKAWAY (the album) and DEEP PURPLE'S "RAPTURE OF THE DEEP" are both great discs, from start to finish. I kept waiting for the wheels to fall off, but they never did. BRAVO KELLY & DP!
What we have here folks, is simply good solid power-pop-rock with powerful vocal performances and good production! AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL PUT A SWIFT END TO ALL THE "ASHLEE-HILLARY-LINSEY" RUBBISH!
HIGHLIGHTS: Breakaway, Since U Been Gone, Behind These Hazel Eyes and no filler!
Breakaway: 4 1/2 stars
Rapture of the Deep: 5 stars
Kelly doesnt stop! December 16, 2005
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought Breakaway, the US version a few days before it was released and let me tell you how iffy i was... i loved kelly since day one on Idol and wasnt ready for the rock sound. But a few tracks hit me and the mroe i listened the more it grew. her talent is so huge, from writing and singing and touring. shes a hardcore go getter. and pure talent.. which isnt something you see everyday anymore. it seems the grammys has been a popularity contest up until 2005. more talent is there. and kelly is leading everyone around the world. this CD is incredible. when it was released around the world with a different cover i wanted to import it, only to find it released at Circuit City too in the States... with this bonus disc. this 15 dollar purchase has been one of the best and favourite buys. The cover is great, the behind these hazel eyes remix is AWESOME and the live breakaway is the best version ive heard. i have over 200 kelly songs on my iPod, and out of all the breakaways i have, this is the best. I recommend this tour package to anyone and everyone
