The Lowdown
Kelly Clarkson became one of the biggest stars on the planet after the monstrous success of her 2004 album,
'Breakaway.'
But there's been tons of controversy surrounding her new album, 'My December.' You love the first single, 'Never Again,' but will the rest of the songs be as strong?
Now you can listen to her second single 'Sober' in its entirety and get an exclusive peek into the making of her 'Never Again' video.
Now you can decide for yourself. Kelly gave us an exclusive preview of three more songs from the album -- which hits stores on June 26 -- and told us about the inspirations behind them. Does she have another hit on her hands? Tell us what YOU think.
Hot or Not
You Decide
'My December' Cover
"For the album cover, I wanted something different. The album has very dark parts to it, very cutesy, sarcastic parts, and some very somber, really, really sad parts. I wanted a picture that showed a beautiful thing covered in a lot of crap. At the end of the staircase is me sitting down, looking pretty and lost in thought, showing almost a 'Snow White' appeal while everything else is very dark. I don't really belong; everything is morose."

Listen and Rate
| 'Never Again' "'Never Again' is a song I wrote over two years ago. This was the first song we wrote for the album, and I wrote it right when 'Breakaway' came out. The song is about a relationship gone sour. The song turned into this whole 'Stepford Wives' mentality."  |
| 'Sober' "My favorite song on the album is 'Sober.' Musically, it's almost hypnotic. You just get lost in it, it's just so beautiful. This song is about surviving something you think you can get past or over. I'm not an alcoholic; that's not what it's about. It's just a metaphor. Everyone has something they are addicted to that they can do without in their life, so it could be about whatever your addiction is." |
| 'Maybe' "'Maybe' is about a relationship where, with the two people, one's always stubborn while one is trying hard, and then turning the other way with the other person becoming the stubborn one. Maybe one day that they will actually be on the same page." |
| 'Can I Have A Kiss' "I've never written a song about this type of situation. The whole point of this song is like, you are really wanting a relationship to work, and you're trying hard for it, but at the same time you're known for being the screw up. I know that I usually screw up." |
