Kelly Clarkson – Stronger
Released: October 24, 2011 Worldwide! (Purchase it on iTunes: Standard / Deluxe)
THE SHORT: “Stronger” is a powerhouse set that manages to blend soul, country, dance, pop and rock into a cohesive album referencing Kelly’s past eras and venturing into throwback territory with a strong 80′s and 90′s influence. While it has big 
shoes to fill, and I’ve always asserted that “My December” is Kelly’s masterpiece, “Stronger” is, hands down, Clarkson’s best overall album to date.

THE LONG (I’m not kidding, I’m long winded and if there is one person this guy can ‘fangirl’ over, it’s Saint Kellegend: Our Lady of Broken Hearts):
