Scary man haters rejoice! Kelly Clarkson’s new single Never Again is designed to terrify men everywhere. Just what has she got against blokes?

Yes, possessed by the ghost of Alanis herself, Kelly launches another anti-male missile. Yes, very much in the same vein as You Oughta Know, as the opening line will attest:

I hope the ring you gave to her turns her finger green
I hope when you’re in bed with her, you think of me

The video for Never Again is tied pretty closely to the song, and features an apparently psychotic Kelly stalking the lover who jilted her. In his car. At the airport. In the toilet.

The beauty of it all is that Kelly is brutally brilliant in the video, and her singing is just as aggressive on the track. It’s a great track, destined to be a big hit among the teen set, who want to hate guys but feel inexplicably drawn to them at the same time. Ah, the joys of hormones…..

A great rock tune from Ms Clarkson. I’m genuinely sad that things aren’t going her way at the moment. Hopefully the first American Idol will be back at full strength again soon.

Never Again is from Kelly Clarkson’s new album My December.
