Eric Carmen Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Kelly Clarkson's new song. There. I said it. I absolutely love it. It's the best song I've heard since B C Jean's version of "If I Were A Boy." "My World Would Suck Without You" made the hair on my arm stand up. That's very unusual these days. This chick ROCKS!

Kirk Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I hadn't heard it. Kudos to the producer, also. Can you say 'wall of sound'? Great record! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Agreed. It's a GREAT record! And "If I Were A Boy" soars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzy Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yes Eric! I love her song too....I actually loved her last album...the one no one liked. Give it a listen, it has some great songs on it and her voice is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvin Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I need to get over the title...hold on...nope, sorry...didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahoodore Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 OK....I listened....she has a freaking awesome voice....her delivery is WOW!....the song itself is okay....lyrics are young, but some clever twists in there too....I think the driving force of the song sells it just right, plus her dynamite vocals....It reminds me of Alanis M....kind of...bahoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missm Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yep, heard it....listened deeply....nope does nothing for me. Odd because I love just about everything else Kelly has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlene Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I like the song. Had troubel getting over the title (and chorus), but isn't it a bit tongue-in-cheek when she talks about the "dysfunctional" relationship? After a couple of hearings, I found it funny and cute, but I just personally hate the word "sucks" or any variation or derivative thereof. But it's so "today" and kids will love it, I'm sure. It's in their vernacular. I think the music rocks. In it's context I like it. In a different one, I'd love it. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinberries Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 yeah but EC, Kelly Clarkson doesn't pen her songs, right? there's a kazillion people who can deliver others' songs righteously, but for some reason it just doesn't quite resonate w/ me on account'a this factor. kinda like, uhh, Barbara Streisand & Celine Dionie: they got the pipes, but not the authorship. i think someone countered w/ "yeah, but what about Elvis" in a prior, similar posting. our own EC, of course, wields both the pipes & the pen most adroitly..& hollies, i ain't hearin' it w/ this Tommy Keene tune either - could it be our differences go deeper than politix too? have you experienced any trickle down effect from the porkubus bill, btw?

hollies65 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I probably just have more 'range' than you! The list of people who don't "get" Tommy Keene is probably longer than the one for the Raspberries. Btw, that song requires a few listens. Cheers!

Brian Mac Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 "Never Again" gave me chills. I wanted to boil Clive Davis in oil for trashing his own artist. Best angry chick song since "You Oughta Know." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leff'tHome Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I was ready to dislike this based on the history. I love it. It's positively addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinberries Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 hollies - was that you that turned me onto that __?__ klein popster a while back (cant recall his first name or name of tune). been meaning to purchase it ever since - refresh my mem'ries?btw hollies, where's my props for using the word 'adroitly' in previous post?

Eric Carmen Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Sinatra didn't write. Johnny Mathis doesn't write. Tony Bennett doesn't write.Sure, I prefer artists who write their own tunes, but in Kelly's case her vocal performance is so exciting it doesn't really matter.It's just a GREAT record.

angelina Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 EC brings up an interesting point. I know of great records which aren't exactly great songs and vice versa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Wynn Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 As usual, I find myself agreeing with Hollies65. The master, Tommy Keene himself, will be visiting the City of Brotherly Love later this month and as usual I will be there. I love his new CD. And by the way, he's a big Raspberries fan. He said that he saw them at their last show in L.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Wynn Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Oh, and regarding Kelly Clarkson, I think she has an incredible voice that's crying out to sing some rockers. She tried to do it on her last CD but she needed to pick some better songs - there wasn't a hook to be found on the entire disc. There are a lot really catchy songs on her new disc, although some of them are a little too hi-gloss for me. Less synths and more guitars.
