Fans can expect more of variety on Kelly Clarkson's new CD.
Kelly Clarkson is getting ready to release her second album next month and, according to the singer, fans can look forward to hearing a more varied and rocking sound from her.
Clarkson, who co-wrote her current hit "Breakaway" with Avril Lavigne, tells the Houston Chronicle, "I'm just working with so many different kinds of producers because I want to make sure that I get a versatile CD."
Former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody collaborated with Clarkson on some songs. Moody, who co-wrote all the songs on the multi-platinum Evanescence album "Fallen," also co-wrote the Avril Lavigne hit "Nobody's Home."
Clarkson's new album is not yet titled and is scheduled for release in October.
U.S. singer Kelly Clarkson says her new album reflects her more fast-paced life since winning American Idol and the release of her debut album Thankful.
It's rock & roll, baby, she told RollingStone.com. It's pop as well, obviously. I'm not Metallica -- but it is more rock, and it's a little deeper. It's very rock and it's very cool.
Producers and writers for Clarkson's sophomore effort includes Clif Magness and Rhett Lawrence, who also worked on Clarkson's first album.
We're still picking tracks right now, said Clarkson, who won American Idol's first season. We've got so many songs, we're just picking our favorites.
However, Clarkson, who, earlier this year, toured with American Idol second season runner up Clay Aiken, says she is eager to return to touring after the album is released Nov. 30.
I'll be touring right after the album comes out, she said. I think people know that when I perform live, I usually win the audience over.
I love Luke Schenscher! I miss David Greene! *Go Georgia Tech*

Kelly Clarkson "Breakaway" second album will be released November 30 on RCA Records. Producers and writers for Kelly Clarkson's sophomore effort includes Clif Magness and Rhett Lawrence, who also worked on Clarkson's first album. Kelly Clarkson, earlier this year, toured with American Idol second season runner up Clay Aiken.
As the first-ever winner of American Idol, Kelly Clarkson won America Idol over with her big, soulful voice and effervescent personality.
singer's debut, the aptly-titled "Thankful," goes a long way toward proving America chose correctly, as it showcases Clarkson's powerhouse vocals in a hip, contemporary manner -- something the show never really did. With a couple of hits already behind her ("A Moment Like This" and "Miss Independent"), Kelly Clarkson is off to a flying start.
The winner of Fox TV's first American Idol: The Search for a Superstar competition, during the summer of 2002 Kelly Clarkson went from an anonymous talent to a nationally known singer performing for an audience of millions of viewers. One of the show's most naturally gifted singers, the 20 year-old Burleson, TX native's vocal talents were discovered when she was in seventh grade, when her school's choir teacher heard her singing and urged Clarkson to join the choir.
After high school, Kelly Clarkson cultivated her voice and went to Hollywood to make her name; she appeared as an extra on an episode of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch but no other opportunities materialized. Upon returning to Burleson, Kelly Clarkson worked at a movie theater, promoted Red Bull energy drinks and ultimately worked as a cocktail waitress at a comedy club before entering the American Idol contest. One of 10,000 aspiring singers, Clarkson distinguished herself not only with her big, surprisingly mature voice, but also with her down-to-earth charm and sense of humor: at one of her auditions, she switched places with judge Randy Jackson, who did an impromptu version of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly."
isn't that an old picture of her...but I can't wait for her CD

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, diet coke in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies.
A friend is someone who thinks you're a good egg, even though you're slightly cracked.

I agree though, Even though Kelly is very very famous in America and most of the hard core fans would recognise the girl from the video in some form, if she really to push her career overseas, she should have her face on the cover.

Anticipation At Fever Pitch For Kelly Clarkson's 'Breakaway'
In a RCA press release, 'American Idol' season one champ Kelly Clarkson previewed songs from her sophomore album 'Breakaway', due out November 30th.
She said of the first single 'Since U Been Gone': "I went to Max Martin's studio in Sweden. We recorded it there with Max and the co-writer of the song, Lukasz Gottwald. The first time I heard the song I thought it was a little poppy, so I asked if we could rock the track a little. We put some heavier guitars and harder drums on it. Now it's explosive."

Who knows why famous people do anything. 
She was sounding very strained after AI.
