Too Close For Comfort
Joe walks into my office at 12:30 pm. Here is the transcript of what happened (words in red aren't meant to insinuate the words of a savior or messiah):
"Joe, help me! Stop me from doing what I am about to do."Then he writes "WWBD" on a piece of paper and puts on my screen. I have $38.07 in iTunes gift money so I was thinking that since it really wasn't costing me anything buy the album would be fine. But now I am not so sure. What to do!
"What are you doing? Are you about to write something on a blog?"
"No, I am at work, I don't blog at work! I am about to buy the entire Kelly Clarkson album 'Breakaway'."
Promptly putting his hand in front of my screen and grabbing the mouse:
"No, no, buy a song, not the whole album!"
"But it's good, have you heard that song 'Because of You'? It's good man."
"Buy, one song, not the whole thing!"
"But these are all good, 'Breakaway', 'Since U Been Gone', 'Beautiful Disaster', 'Behind These Hazel Eyes', 'Because of you'. Those are good."
"What would Bono do? Would he buy Kelly Clarkson's entire album?"
"I don't know!"

Did you actually expect to ever live this down... like ever??
Kenny....no offense, but I would take Kelly over Rockapella any day.
I don't expect to live it down, but my guess is that there are a lot of Clarkson fans out there. I bet even Brandon has downloaded the "Since U Been Gone" video on his ViPod.
No offense taken. Why would I have taken offense at that? I'm never offended when someone admits to liking something inferior to what I like.
As we were reading Shar asked, "so Jas can't blog at work but he can buy iTunes?" Byron responds, "Must be a nice job."
I do like her songs, but she's been sounding alot like Avril Lavigne lately. "Breakaway" was even written by Avril Lavigne. In my opinion, stick to the originals of a style, and not the copycats. Also, I prefer artists who write at least the majority of their material. Maybe she did on this album, I haven't done the research.
That being said, I like Kelly Clarkson for her voice, and I love American Idol mainly because I love critiquing singers. Hope that doesn't make me a hypocrite.
Kate, I think your right. For the life of me the cover of the "Breakaway" CD looks nothing like her at all!
