There’s no question that our iPods would suck without you, lil’ Miss Independent. But what is the best song Kelly Clarkson has ever released? And what’s the worst? I listened to the tracks, read the lyrics, and ranked every original song to appear on an official CD (including hidden and bonus tracks) in reverse order to determine Kellegendary’s biggest audio achievement.
“Einstein”
Album: Stronger
Written By: Kelly Clarkson, Toby Gad, Bridget Kelly, and James Fauntleroy II
Mathematic equations in musical compositions rarely make the grade, and “You Plus You Equals Dumb” gets an “F” in my book.
“Where Is Your Heart”
Album: Breakaway
Written By: Kelly Clarkson, Kara DioGuradi, and Chantal Kreviazuk
Kelly almost always sings about lost love, but this is one of the rare times the song makes her sound overly needy. Maybe that's because a random selection of lyrics would read like a stalker letter.
“Don't Be a Girl About It”
Album: Deluxe Edition, Stronger
Written By: Kelly Clarkson and Brent Kutzle
Kelly has built her career on the backs of women the world over, so to speak of the gender in such stereotypically disparaging terms seems shortsighted.
“Before Your Love”
Album: Thankful
Written By: Desmond Child and Cathy Dennis
One of two victory singles released after Kelly won American Idol and this vastly inferior one oozes cheese. I mean, she sings about castles in the sky, for crying out loud.
