Kelly Clarkson Grabs a Bite at NYC Deli

Jeanne — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 05:58:38 +0000

The original American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, was spotted grabbing a bite to eat at a deli in New York City over the weekend. She definitely was sporting a casual look but I’m glad she’s trying to live a normal life and almost blends in with the other pedestrians – I wouldn’t have recognized her.

Maybe if she wants to go incognito in the future, she should tone down the shirt.

Kelly Clarkson Covers “The Climb”

Jeanne — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 06:30:59 +0000

American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, had a little fun with her friends covering Miley Cyrus’ hit song “The Climb” from her Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack. This is just yet another reminder of what a great singer Kelly is and, of course, this was informal but I thought the harmonizing was pretty great.

Have you heard it? Listen to it and tell me what you think!

Kelly Clarkson Performs on VH1 Divas

Jeanne — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 06:26:27 +0000

The original American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, performed on last night’s VH1 Divas and I thought she was great. She did a duet with Melissa Etheridge which was great considering how strong their voices are. They sang “Bring Me Some Water” and there were some slight pitch problems but aside from that, I thought it was genius to pair these two up.

Also, I know that a lot of my readers here have given Kelly some flack for being heavy but I’m loving how confident she looks and moves. Go Kelly!

Clarkson and Pickler Support Taylor Swift After Kanye West Incident

Jeanne — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:31:15 +0000

It’s no secret that American Idol alum, Kellie Pickler, and Taylor Swift are very close friends. They’ve written songs together, toured together and are spotted hanging out all the time so I wasn’t surprised when Kellie showed her frustration of Kanye West stealing what should have been an amazing moment from Taylor at the 2009 MTV Video Awards last night.

Kellie tweeted, "Tator Tot, you handled yourself with Grace. Kanye, go grow some f-ing balls, bi—! don’t mess w/my lil sis!!"

She kept her message short and to the point but the original American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, let loose on her blog. which, again, is no surprise since Kelly isn’t one to bite her tongue. Here’s what she wrote:

Dear Kanye, what happened to you as a child??. Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like sh–. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty sh—y things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, a–hole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my a–hole ex that cheated on me over you … which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a Moonman that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won, and I was excited for her … so why can’t you be? I’m not even mad at you for being an a–hole … I just pity you because you’re a sad human being. On a side note, Beyoncé has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!! Taylor Swift, you outsell him … that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

If you didn’t catch the disgusting moment in television, watch it here. He’s done some crummy things over the years but this was the worst (fortunately, Beyoncé had the class to do the right thing):

Kelly Clarkson on Good Morning America

Jeanne — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 17:33:00 +0000

Kelly Clarkson was on Good Morning America a few days ago where she performed some older and new music including “Walk Away” and “Already Gone.” The crowd really went wild when Robin Roberts brought up the fact that Kelly is the original winner American Idol. I guess all those people who voted for her still love her!

Robin also mentioned Kelly’s 11 dogs and a cat (she rescues animals) and the fact that the singer goes barefoot on stage and has a fan to keep her cool (Kelly mentions that she has a perspiration problem! Ha ha!).

I really liked this revamped version of “Walk Away” but, then again, I’m a real sucker for live horns. Enjoy!

“Already Gone” also went very well. Say what you want about her but Kelly really is a great live performer.

Kelly Clarkson “Already Gone” Video Plus Beyoncé Controversy

Jeanne — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 21:29:02 +0000

The music video for Kelly Clarkson’s new single “Already Gone” has been released and she’s none too pleased about the whole thing even though she looks really beautiful.

If you heard the song and felt like you were having déjà vu you aren’t imagining things. The music for the song is remarkably similar to that of Beyoncé’s song “Halo.” This isn’t a case of Kelly copying someone else – both singers got the shaft.

Kelly that she wrote this song with OneRepublic frontman, Ryan Tedder. She explained: "Ryan and I met each other at the record label, before he was working with anyone else. … I’d never heard of a song called ‘Halo’. Her [Beyoncé] album came out when my album was already being printed. No-one’s gonna be sittin’ at home, thinking ‘Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyoncé and Kelly the same track to write to.’ No, they’re just gonna be saying I ripped someone off. I called Ryan and said, ‘I don’t understand. Why would you do that?’. In the end, they’re releasing it without my consent. It sucks, but it’s one of those things I have no control over. I already made my album. At this point, the record company can do whatever they want with it. It’s kind of a shitty situation, but. … You know, you learn."

Man… I would be FURIOUS! Like off the rails pissed off if I were Kelly. I am glad that she’s the outspoken person that she is and that she set the record straight because I definitely thought there was something weird going on.

Anyway, check out the new music video. She looks really pretty:

Kelly Clarkson Performs “Already Gone” on Letterman – Video

Jeanne — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:35:09 +0000

American Idol’s first winner, Kelly Clarkson, performed her new single “Already Gone” on Late Night With David Letterman last night. She sounded absolutely amazing. I’m so happy for her! She also looked really good too (I didn’t love the sleeves on that shirt but that’s a personal opinion). This is a shot of her arriving – fortunately she changed out of this bright sweater and top

Watch the performance and tell me what you thought of it! I think it’s the best I’ve heard her sing in a long while and the song is gorgeous.

Kelly Clarkson Talks About Appearing on So You Think You Can Dance

Jeanne — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 07:13:34 +0000

Kelly Clarkson was a guest on So You Think You Can Dance this week and Access Hollywood caught up with her to ask her how she felt about appearing on the show.

The original American Idol winner explained that she loves all kinds of dance styles and said that she grew up learning hip hop and said it might be cool to learn ballroom dancing. I have always wanted to learn too! She made it clear, though, that she would never agree to be on Dancing With the Stars (she actually said “hell no” and that she would look like “a big ol’ fool”).

She also talked about her duet with Chris Daughtry, her weight and the death of Michael Jackson. It was a fun interview so if you’re a Kelly fan, you will love it!
