It's been 20 years since pop music has had somebody with both the pop and rock chops of Pat Benatar, who in her prime was absolutely one of my favorite musical artists in existence.
Benatar had this butch, screechy look and sound that was sexy to both men and women, if you catch my drift, and was listenable on the radio, in the arena, by tweens, teens and adults.
Well, Pat Benatar ... meet Kelly Clarkson.
She's got the same vibe, the same ability, and she wrote everything on her forthcoming album, including this bitter gem, "Never Again," which she performed on Jimmy Kimmel recently. Enjoy.

When some folks (including my wife) were making fun of me a year ago for liking "Since You've Been Gone," I said that if Pat Benetar had done it, it would be a classic.

Amen, dude. And, both are definitely blare-it-in-the-car tunes ...
I am a man and not afraid to love Kelly Clarkson. She is Truly amazing. Her voice just melts me. My wife still can't imagine the fact that I love this girl. She will be around a long time.
