It's not even a 'Behind These Hazel Eyes'

  • June 7, 2007
  • Popjustice

kellyk220.jpgIt may well be time to write off Kelly Clarkson once and for all because, good grief, here is another song from her 'My December' album which is not good in the slightest.


Listen to 'Sober' here.

It is probably not worth you sitting through the grueling full four minutes so here is a list of highlights.

1. The bit where it goes quiet and then there is nothing else to listen to.
2. That's probably about all really.
3. Yes, that's the only good bit. 

It has been a while since a fairly amazing popstar has pissed it all away so reck­lessly, and unless ropey Evanescence b‑sides are your thing please move along now.

NB: We are quite prepared to be proved wrong by a load of amazing songs when the album even­tu­ally emerges in its entirety but there is not a great amount of breath-holding gone on over here, we can tell you that right now.
