As the silly artwork suggest, Kelly Clarkson’s new single, “My Life Would Suck Without You,” not only makes a U-Turn to Kelly’s pop roots, but somehow misses the “Since U Been Gone” destination completely and ends up at this weird synth-driven, girl-Nickelback rest stop. I really don’t see why anybody thought this was the right direction for Kelly. Yes, it is true that her last self-penned album was some awful ode to Evanscence, but this new single is just insulting to anyone that jammed out to Kelly’s sophomore album in 2004/05.
I figured the best way incorporate Kelly Clarkson’ rough edges and Clide Davis’ pop ear was to manufacture an album that sounds more P!nk than, say, Lady GaGa. C’mon, admit it, you’d love it if it were Kelly Clarkson singing “So What” and “U + UR Hand.”
I don’t think this single is any catchier than her failed “Never Again” single. Let’s see what radio does with this…

I am glad pop music is making a comeback. I am tired of ghetto rap and Nirvana wannabees dominating the airwaves and blogs. Thank god for our dance clubs where we can always have our fun music!
Pop music is “pop” for a reason. We chew it up like bubble gum and move on to the next piece when the flavor runs out. This track will top the charts, no doubt, and quickly. Yes, its a piece of bubble gum; blow your bubble, pop it, and move on!
