My ears pricked up toward the end—from "Since You Been Gone" to "Walk Away," the woman knows how to work over a tight bridge—but mostly the MOR snooze of "Don't Waste Your Time" is a pretty obvious excuse to create Kelly's ornate summer-job-at-the-Ren-Faire/dark-fantasy-novel-about-unicorns-and-princesses daydreams on screen, with the living creeper vines and corny CGI castles and flowling black and red goth dresses and the Sleeping Beauty canopy bed and the candelabras, and whatnot. Our "pals" at Stereogum compare it to Evanescence like that's a bad thing, making me wish the song was actually, you know, better so I could get all protective/defensive over KC rather than just wishing her rock was a little less rote here.

Yeah this has some pretty awful visuals (I thought Creed videos went out of fashion with, well, Creed), but the song was one of my favorites on the album, and I'm pleasantly surprised they're still working the record to any degree at all. Did "Sober" even have a video?
Am I the only one that thinks she looks like Vanessa Carlton, not Kelly? Some weird digital filtering going on in that video.
She's covering the same ol' ground. She should just do pop/R&B like the good lord intended.
Her arms are kinda big..
