Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You

For a spell, Kelly Clarkson could do no wrong, holding a reign over the “Top 40 pop can actually be good” heap with her universally applauded “Since U Been Gone” and the rest of it’s Breakaway single mates. Then came the arrival of My December, an otherwise solid female-fronted pop/ rock achievement that sadly crumbled underneath an exhausting wave of Clarkson vs. Clive Davis media coverage and it’s much-ballyhooed lack of “Gone”-like smash material. That one album stirred up so much drama, it’s a bit surprising that Clarkson didn’t just jump out of the game altogether out of sheer frustration.
Alas, she’s returned, and by the sounds of new single “My Life Would Suck Without You”, it seems that Clive Davis has won out in getting the original “American Idol” to back away from the dark-leaning, “artistic” aim of the last LP and win back the radio-tuned masses with some brisk, shiny pop noise.
On initial listen, you can’t help but imagine an agitated Clarkson, stifling back tears in the vocal booth as a pistol-caressing Clive watches on from the other side of the glass, foot-tapping along to “Suck”’s relentless dance-pop pulse, his face plastered with a devilish smirk that says “You won’t leave this studio until I’m sure you’ve got a multi-platinum chart-topper for me“.
But by the rush-of-a-chorus’ first arrival, internal plots to seek vengeance on Kelly’s behalf begin to subside as her familiar throat-stretching wails and “Suck”’s labored-over production slowly seep their way into your frame, turning you into a fist-pumping slave at the hands of it’s predictable pop charms.
“My Life Would Suck Without You” may be a bit soul-less (and no where near as good as it’s title might suggest), but it’s a catchy one for sure, fulfilling it’s mission in bypassing December to be the obvious bridge from Breakaway to the new Clarkson era. Hopefully, it’s sure success will satisfy Clive enough to let him allow some of Kelly’s more “shaded” material to earn some placement on the upcoming album.
