Kelly Clarkson has been holding out this year while most of the major divas have been clashing. Now that the main competition is settling down she's set to dominate again; and she's going to start with "Mr. Know it all." I wasn't too keen on her last album, but she's changed up her style a little bit and it's an improvement.
"Mr. Know it all" doesn't take the powerful angry approach like some of her past hits, this one is mellowed up a bit. Though the lyrics are just as harsh as she's ever been. The song starts out smooth and transitions into a bouncy catchy chorus while staying out of dance territory. So Kelly has combined a catchy sound with her own style so she can still sound original and have a hit. This is a good message towards people getting worried about all music becoming too dancy.
Lyrically the song also displays a unique message. Kelly's often sung about breaking up and she does it again, but it's presented in a different way then before. The lyrics clearly have thought put into them and Kelly sings them with meaning and that's all it takes to give the song a real feeling.
So people have compared this song to Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are." There is a similarity, but I don't think it's worth getting worked up about. The songs each have their own unique styles and it's not so noticeable that it will ruin the song, like "Already Gone." Songs can sound similar and not be direct copies of each other, if people like it then you're probably going to be hearing similar tunes a lot.
Katy Perry and Rihanna are the major pop stars of the last couple of years, but they're wrapping out now. So all that really leaves is Lady Gaga, and if "Mr. Know it all" can make it to the top or at least come close then that should open the way for the rest of Kelly's album.
