“Since U Been Gone”（不告而别）
Songs about wresting your self-respect back from a bad lover have an unfortunate tendency to turn into shrill, one-sided attacks. All-American belter Kelly Clarkson, however, had a much less petty take on self-empowerment: “Your loss, sucker. I’m still gonna live my life. And better than ever before.”
所有讲述告别恶臭前任重拾自尊的歌曲 通常会变味成尖锐的单方面人身攻击。然而，美国歌唱大师Kelly Clarkson，在自立自强的事上显得格外心胸坦荡：“只会是你吃亏，笨蛋。我还得继续活出自我，比以往都更潇洒。”
So, sure, “Since U Been Gone” gave us one of the most blunt rallying cries of the last ten years, a perfectly realized sing-along chorus that will be a karaoke staple for years. But it’s fair to say that no one, even her early post-TV partisans, figured on an “American Idol” winner turning out such a great rock song, let alone a 21st-century indie rock pastiche given a world-conquering pop glaze by Swedish impresario Max Martin. But homage to certain new millennium New York bands isn’t why the song transcends. It’s Clarkson’s go-for-broke performance, those reality show-honed pipes finally put to expressing the unfiltered joy of newfound freedom. –Jess Harvell
所以，“Since U Been Gone” 无疑给我们献上过去十年来最坦率的战斗口号之一，随性跟唱的副歌桥段将成为未来几年卡拉OK的重头戏。但平心而论，即使是她早期电视节目入坑的粉丝，也没有人会认为《美国偶像》(American Idol)冠军能写出如此伟大的摇滚歌曲，更不用说还能料想到瑞典音乐大师Max Martin把效仿21世纪独立摇滚的集大成之作 制作成征服世界的流行音乐了。但对新千年纽约摇滚乐队的致敬并非是这首歌超神的原因。而是因为Kelly Clarkson全力以赴的歌唱演绎，在真人秀节目上的反复砺炼终成就了 她在峰回路转后喜形于色地放声歌唱。–Jess Harvell
