What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Greatest Hits - Chapter One is a super-clean compilation of tracks from the first decade of Kelly Clarkson's career. There's barely an eyebrow-raising lyric to be found, with the fleeting exception of a few lines about kissing and spending the night together. Instead, these songs are filled with tons of positive lines about being a strong, independent young woman who tells bad boyfriends to take a hike -- making the whole album an awesome choice for everyone from younger tweens to older teens.
What's the story?
Ten years have passed since the very first American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, captured the crown -- and GREATEST HITS - CHAPTER ONE chronicles her extraordinary decade. The clean collection of 18 tunes spans all of her biggest hits, from "Miss Independent" to "Stronger" to "Catch My Breath." It also includes her country-inspired duets with Jason Aldean and Vince Gill, along with the holiday tune "I'll Be Home for Christmas."
Is it any good?
Effortless delivery is the mark of a truly talented singer -- and Kelly Clarkson makes every one of these tracks sound like a vocal piece of cake. Her killer pipes shine through especially well on her ballads with Jason Aldean and Vince Gill, as well as her live rendition of "Miss Independent."

This is a pretty good album. It's a collection of Kelly's greatest hits, and I can see why they were popular :). My favorite song on here is probably "Catch My Breath", but most of them are really good. Some songs contain innuendo/references to sleeping together, but it's subtle enough.
