Kelly Clarkson - Dont Waste Your Time

Ms Clarkson pulls out all the stops in the video for her new single, Don’t Waste Your Time. Taking the role of a rockin’ Sleeping Beauty, walled into a fantasy castle surrounded by thorns, our Kelly belts out another of her pounding femme-rock anthems.

The problem when Kelly goes all rawk like this is that she’s just too damned chirpy. I don’t feel her angst. Drop the act, Clarkson, we all know you’re a wee cutie…

…who, by the way, looks pretty hot in that big red dress. Yumm.

Pop star leching aside, there’s nothing remarkable about Don’t Waste Your Time for the song to stand out in the charts. It’s got all the right elements for pop-rock success, but somewhere along the line, it falls short of the mark. Compare it to the career highlight of Since U Been Gone and you’ll understand what I mean.

The thing is, Kelly’s one of my favourite female artists. I’ve heard that she’s considering a change of style, given her recent work with Reba McIntyre, to a more country sound. I’m all behind that, because I think Kelly’s taken the rock thing about as far as it can go. It would be nice to see her explore other genres and I think she has the talent and personality to do it.

Here’s the video, complete with idiot white knight who hasn’t got the wit to go out and buy a chainsaw for those thorny briars. If you wanted her that badly, you’d find a way mate!

    I love this song.. I think you’re right though about it not having what it takes for massive success like Since U Been Gone, but it’s still good (Yes, she does look hot in this video)!

    Kelly isn’t planning on changing her style completely - maybe just for an album though. She’s stated she never wants to make the same album twice (Hence why she didn’t want to make Breakaway II, so she made My December) so the next album will definitely be different. She did mention the country type album, yes. Should be interesting - her voice is so versatile she can do literally anything (maybe except rap). Personally I LOVE her harder sounding songs - “Hole” is one of my favorites from My December - and she pulls it off very well.
