Sobre el álbum
El álbum de debut que inicia la discografía de Kelly Clarkson, "Thankful", es el resultado directo de su histórica victoria en la primera temporada del programa "American Idol". Lanzado en 2003, este trabajo tenía la difícil tarea de presentar al mundo a su primera ganadora y de capitalizar el inmenso interés del público. El disco es una colección de pop y R&B cuidadosamente producida para satisfacer a una amplia audiencia.
En primer lugar, el álbum está anclado por su primer single, "A Moment Like This", la canción que cantó en la final del concurso. Esta poderosa balada se convirtió en un éxito masivo y en un himno de superación. El disco se asegura un buen comienzo, apelando directamente a los fans que la vieron ganar.
El álbum muestra una sorprendente influencia del R&B contemporáneo. El segundo single, "Miss Independent", coescrito por la propia Kelly Clarkson y la superestrella Christina Aguilera, presenta un sonido más enérgico y con más "groove". Mientras tanto, otras canciones como "Low" o "The Trouble with Love Is" continúan explorando el terreno del pop-soul con gran solvencia.
La principal herramienta del álbum es la increíble voz de Kelly Clarkson, capaz de una potencia y una versatilidad asombrosas. "Thankful" es un debut sólido y exitoso que cumplió su objetivo con creces: demostrar que la primera "American Idol" tenía el talento y el carisma necesarios para una larga y próspera carrera.

Letra
Oooh oooh, ooooh yeah, mmmm... Love can be a many splendored thing Can't deny the joy it brings A dozen roses, diamond rings Dreams for sale and fairy tales It'll make you hear a symphony And you just want the world to see But like a drug that makes you blind, It'll fool ya every time The trouble with love is It can tear you up inside Make your heart believe a lie It's stronger than your pride The trouble with love is It doesn't care how fast you fall And you can't refuse the call See, you got no say at all Now I was once a fool, it's true I played the game by all the rules But now my world's a deeper blue I'm sadder, but I'm wiser too I swore I'd never love again I swore my heart would never mend Said love wasn't worth the pain But then I hear it call my name (The trouble with) The trouble with love is It can tear you up inside Make your heart believe a lie It's stronger than your pride The trouble with love is It doesn't care how fast you fall And you can't refuse the call See, you got no say at all Every time I turn around I think I've got it all figured out My heart keeps callin' and I keep on fallin' Over and over again This sad story always ends the same Me standin' in the pourin' rain It seems no matter what I do It tears my heart in two (The trouble with love is) The trouble with love, yeah (It can tear you up inside) It can tear you up inside (Make your heart believe a lie) Make your heart believe a lie It's stronger than your pride (The trouble with love is) It's in your heart It's in your soul (doesn't care how fast you fall) You won't get no control (and you can't refuse the call) See, you got no say at all (The trouble with love is) Oh, yeah (It can tear you up inside) (Make your heart believe a lie) - Miss Independent3:35

Letra
Everybody’s talking But they don’t say a thing They look at me with sad eyes But I don’t want the sympathy Its cool you didn’t want me Sometimes you can’t go back But why’d you have to go and make a mess like that Well I just have to say Before I let go Have you ever been low? Have you ever had a friend that let you down so? When the truth came out Were you the last to know? Were you left out in the cold? What you did was low No I don’t need your number There’s nothing left to say Except I never thought it'd hurt this much to be saved My friends are outside waiting I’ve gotta go Have you ever been low? Have you ever had a friend that let you down so? When the truth came out Were you the last to know? Were you left out in the cold? What you did was low What you did was low (low) What you did was low (low) What you did was low (low) I walk out of this darkness With no sense of regret And I go with a clear conscience We both know that you can’t say that Here's to show For all the time I loved you so… So... Have you ever been low? Have you ever had a friend that let you down so? When the truth came out Were you the last to know? Were you left out in the cold? What you did was low Have you ever been low? Have you ever had a friend that let you down so? When the truth came out Were you the last to know? Were you left out in the cold? What you did was low Have you ever been low? Have you ever had a friend that let you down so? Cuz what you did was low - Some Kind of Miracle3:39

Roll over baby The time has come To make a little bit more room I’ve hung around you It’s getting tough I think I’m gonna break down soon Cuz I remember Crying in the park It was getting dark Suddenly I looked up You were my sky So go on And sleep darlin Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream It’s cool baby It doesn’t matter anyway Well I’m so sorry We got to the station a little too late Such a shame We just missed the train We just missed the train Be quiet angel Don’t make a sound Save it for a rainy day Oh can’t you see me I’m such a mess Trying hard to find my way Do you remember wasting all the time We were feeling fine Though we couldn't walk a line, We were all right So go on And sleep darlin Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream It’s cool baby It doesn’t matter anyway Well I’m so sorry We got to the station a little too late Such a shame We just missed the train Oh why'd that train just pass us by Didn’t anyone see we were stuck at the light And we would've made it on time Yeah Yeah Yeah So sleep darlin Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream It’s cool baby It doesn’t matter anyway Well I’m so sorry We got to the station a little too late And sleep darlin Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream It’s cool baby It doesn’t matter anyway Well I’m so sorry We got to the station a little too late Such a shame We just missed the train - Beautiful Disaster4:12
Letra
He drowns in his dreams An exquisite extreme I know He’s as damned as he seems And more heaven than a heart could hold And if I try to save him My whole world could cave in It just ain't right It just ain't right Oh and I don't know I don't know what he's after But he's so beautiful Such a beautiful disaster And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter Would it be beautiful? Or just a beautiful disaster He's magic and myth As strong as what I believe A tragedy with More damage than a soul should see And do I try to change him? So hard not to blame him Hold on tight Hold on tight Oh 'cause I don't know I don't know what he's after But he’s so beautiful Such a beautiful disaster And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter Would it be beautiful? Or just a beautiful disaster I'm longing for love and the logical But he's only happy hysterical I'm waiting for some kind of miracle Waited so long So long He’s soft to the touch But frayed at the end he breaks He’s never enough And still he's more than I can take Oh 'cause I don't know I don't know what he's after But he's so beautiful Such a beautiful disaster And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter Would it be beautiful? Or just a beautiful disaster He’s beautiful Such a beautiful disaster [Fading] Beautiful (Beautiful disaster) Beautiful disaster - You Thought Wrong3:51

Letra
I wonder how I ever made it through a day How did I settle for the world in shades of gray When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same And you don't know why And I looked into your eyes Where the road stretched out in front of me And I realized I'd never lived Before your love I'd never felt Before your touch And I'd never needed anyone To make me feel alive But then again, I wasn't really livin' I'd never lived... Before your love I wanted more than just an ordinary life All of my dreams, seemed like castles in the sky I stand before you and my heart is in your hands And I don't know how I'd survive without your kiss Cuz you've given me A reason to exist I'd never lived Before your love I'd never felt Before your touch I'd never needed anyone To make me feel alive But then again, I wasn't really livin' I'd never lived... before your love I'd never lived... Before your love And I don't know why Why the sun decides to shine But you've breathed your love into me just in time I'd never lived Before your love I'd never felt Before your touch I'd never needed anyone To make me feel alive But then again I wasn't really livin' I'd never lived I'd never lived Before!... Your!!... Love!!!...
