Both Americon Idol winners, Kelly Clarkson and Fantasia Barrino have new albums out - Breakaway and Free Yourself. Check out the CD Reviews.

Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway

It's been awhile since Kelly Clarkson wowed America on reality TV, but that doesn't mean she hasn't been busy. Breakaway is Kelly's second full-length album since winning the American Idol title. This disc is a lot funkier than her usual stuff, with lots of rockin' guitar riffs and bouncy beats. There's still the softer side of Kelly that we've all grown to love, but there's also a lot more edge.
