Lovely, Beautiful Song...
I like Kelly Clarkson's music, so I decided to get the sheet music for it, and Breakaway is now the song I love to play (on my violin) the most!

"INSPIRATIONAL"
A wonderful uplifting song. The meaning, my beliefs are that you never give up hope. Follow your dreams, and never back down. FIVE STARS!

A disappointment
I loved Breakaway (the CD), and I thought that many of the songs on the CD would be excellent to play on the piano (mainly Because of You, Where is Your Heart, Beautiful Disaster). However, as I played the songs from this book, I was extremely disappointed because of the arrangement. The vocal is included with the accompaniment, so this book would not be good if you were going to perform Kelly Clarkson's songs as an accompanist. In addition to this, Because of You and Gone are written in different keys than they were actually recorded. The change of keys for Because of You was disastrous, in my opinion. Overall, not really worth 17 dollars, but if you REALLY like some of these songs and don't mind the quibbles I had with them, then get this book.

Kelly Clarkson is an Inspiration to All!
I’ve never been great with knowing what singers sing what songs. When a friend let me listen to Kelly Clarkson's CD "Breakaway", I fell in love with the songs with piano accompaniment (such as “Beautiful Disaster”, “Where is Your Heart”, and Because of You). I've been playing the piano for about six years. This book has pretty easy rhythms, but some songs (such as Beautiful Disaster) may cause for some help. Other than that this book is great. I'm not much of a singer, but now I go around the house singing all her songs! The only thing that disappointed me with this book was that two or so of songs had the keys changed. It may be how the song was originally written, but it's not how Kelly sings it on the CD. If you don't really care about that, GO FOR IT! Get this book... IT'S AWESOME! Kelly Clarkson is now one of my most favorite singers. Her music is such an inspiration!

So-So
I would recommend this book to intermediate and some early intermediate pianists. I wasn't impressed with the difficulty level at all (I've played for about 4-5 years), although a few of the songs sound very similar to the album. Beautiful Disaster, Because of You, and Where Is Your Heart are pretty good, but most of the others are just dull and unimpressive.

great for certain people
This book has some really great starts in it. The reason why I rate four starts, is that some of the songs were recorded higher/lower keys for the cd. I would not recomend this book for people who do not have the CD, or else you will get lost finding the right tune. Anyway, the songs are great and pretty to hear esp. Beautiful Disaster. I have been playing for 1 1/2 years and not that difficult.Hope this helps!

Great CD, great songbook.
Every song on this album is amazing. And this music captures most of the power. Because of You, Where is Your Heart, Addicted, Beautiful Disaster, and Hear Me are stunning on piano.
