4.0 out of 5 stars Over-processed and formulaic never sounded so good, January 19, 2009

Kelly Clarkson is back in her photoshopped form with the Dr. Luke/Max Martin instant hit "My Life Would Suck Without You." Although she has temporarily left her `December' style behind, Clarkson still knows exactly how to make a pop gem.

"Suck" does not present listeners with anything truly groundbreaking, lyrically ("either way I found out / I'm nothing without you") or musically, but it does feature Clarkson's signature toned vocals. Her vocals, though dressed up thanks to autotuning, blend well with the techno-rock composition of the song. The "Since U Been Gone"-like opening guitar chord and the "So What"-like chorus call originality into question but the catchiness of "Suck" cancels out those claims.

Where Clarkson really makes "Suck" her own is in the final chorus when she hits a few astronomically high notes. This is the artist that fans know and love and her return to the music scene after a few rough years is just what radio needed.

Kelly Clarkson may be traveling the commercially-friendly route right now, especially with the techno thing in style, but her spunk, tenacity and unparalleled vocals set her leaps and bounds ahead of the Katy Perrys and the Lady Gagas of the world. She will always be a role model for artists, and "My Life Would Suck Without You" is something special for that reason.

I am one of the fans who loved Kelly's "My December," album. The songs were thoughtful and well written. It just didn't get the promotion it deserved. But now I am proud to say that Kelly's new song has been on continous rotation on my iPod. If "My December," gave us a darker Kelly, "All I Ever Wanted," gives us a new and improved Kelly. Here she does what she knows best: rocking out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pop Tart, February 1, 2009

"My Life Would Suck Without You" is a catchy tune from American Idol diva Kelly Clarkson. Eschewing the more somber songs of "My December" (still a good album),Clarkson returns to pop diva mode. It's deliriously fun dance pop. Like the lollipop,it's candy,meant to be enjoyed in the fleeting moment. It might not catapult Kelly into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,but it's got a joyous beat.
