Clarkson remains one of my favourite pop stars, despite releasing song after song in virtually one tenor, because her voice is epic and she is forever stumbling into a fierce and unladylike tempo. She’s also kinda thick set, for a petite celebrity person, and this is oddly endearing. Dark Side is more of the same, from her third album, Stronger.
