I got "Breakaway" yesterday! I haven't had a chance to listen to all of it yet, but I like what I've heard so far. (I'm listening to it now as I type :) Kelly's voice is something else! Even when she's singing softly every note resonates. She reminds me of Heart's Nancy Wilson.

I may have to go get the CD myself. By the way, yesterday while at the grocery store,in the checkout lane I look over at the magazines. And the Enquirer had the headline about Carrie's affairs with Anthony and Bo. AI must love the publicity all these speculations about Carrie's love life bring to them.

I'll be interested in what you think of the whole album. Kelly does have a wonderful voice. To me, the amazing thing is that every vocal on the album is her alone. No backup singers. She sang every part. I liked "Breakaway" so much that I bought her first album "Thankful." Although the songs on it aren't as good as the ones on "Breakaway," I enjoy several of them because of her wonderful voice. In one she almost sounds like Patsy Cline -- not the country twang, but in the way her voice has a catch like her heart's breaking.

BTW, now that there's a litte distance from the end of this year's competition, I find myself eagerly looking forward to both Bo's and Carrie's CDs. Musically speaking, I truly like them both. I actually am pleased their styles are so very different from each other.

As of last night, Amazon had Bo #1 and Carrie #3 on their hit predictor list. If Amazon's prediction is correct, they will both have hits, which feels right to me.
