Eminem to Perform at AMAs
Posted in American Music Awards, Eminem, Lady Gaga on the November 5, 2009
Eminem has recently been added to the list of performers for this year’s American Music Awards. There’s no word yet on what horrific song the rapper will perform though. I almost completely forgot that he even released an album this year, much less that it was decent enough to warrant him performing at such a big stage like the AMAs. With Eminem being added to the list of performers, that means there will be 10 performances on the show, including the likes of Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry, Adam Lambert and Carrie Underwood. Which performance are you most excited for? I can tell you that Eminem wouldn’t even make my list.
American Idol Reunion at AMAs
Posted in Adam Lambert, American Idol, American Music Awards, Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson on the October 27, 2009
This year’s American Music Awards might as well be touted as an American Idol reunion. Why? It just so happens that Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry’s band, Daughtry, are all scheduled to perform at the awards show on November 22nd. They would pretty much cover half of the performances on the show. And I can just guess that country singer Carrie will be racking up a couple of awards too. That’s quite an empire that Simon Cowell and the rest of them have built. Will you be tuning in to see that Idols on the show?
Kelly Clarkson is a VH1 Diva
Posted in American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, VH1 on the September 22, 2009
Kelly Clarkson looked absolutely ravishing on the red carpet when she attended the 2009 VH1 Divas which was held at New York’s Brooklyn Academy of Music last Thursday. The 27-year old original American Idol champion talked about her diva status saying “I’m too true country to be called a diva. I need to be more demanding.” The singer performed her hit song ‘Already Gone’ and sang a duet with iconic rock star Melissa Etheridge on her 1988 song ‘Bring Me Some Water’. I bet performing with Melissa was a dream come true for Kelly. It would have been for me if I was in Kelly’s place.
Kelly Clarkson Done with Record Label
Posted in American Idol, Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Clarkson, Song on the August 4, 2009
Kelly Clarkson’s record label is said to be pissed about the original American Idol champ shooting her mouth off about the drama surrounding her latest single ‘Already Gone’. Kelly got fed up about her song getting compared with Beyonce’s ‘Halo’ as the two songs have the same backing track produced by Ryan Tedder. Kelly ranted that she asked her label to not release ‘Already Gone’ as a single but that they basically threw her under a bus. Now, it seems that her label is already fed up with her and threatened her that they would be done with the album – no more money for videos, no more singles and no more promotions. Yikes!
VH1 Divas Returns
Posted in Concert, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana, VH1 on the July 29, 2009
The legendary live concert event, VH1 Divas, is returning after a four-year hiatus and will feature some of today’s big voices including the likes of Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus. I get the first three singers but what the heck is Miley doing on that list? The show’s producer said “Adele, Kelly, Leona and Miley have all captured the world’s attention with their talent and have earned their designation as VH1 Divas this year. Don’t let some of their young ages fool you - these women are among the best entertainers in the world and will continue to thrill music fans for a long time to come.” The VH1 Divas concert will air at 9PM ET/PT on September 17 on VH1.
Kelly Clarkson Covers Janet Jackson
Posted in Concert, Janet Jackson, Kelly Clarkson on the July 21, 2009
Kelly Clarkson recently performed a 16-song set at the PC Richard and Son theater in New York City last week. She performed at an event sponsored by Z100 radio station and iHeartRadio. The 27-year old original American Idol champ sang a beautiful rendition of Janet Jackson’s hit song ‘If’. The singer’s set also included a bluesy and soulful tribute to Patsy Cline’s ‘Walkin’ After Midnight’. Kelly’s concert was simply to die for! She always changes up her classic songs and throws in some new ones. The songs were only made better by the great acoustics in the theater. You miss a lot when you miss a Kelly concert.
Kris Allen’s Victory Song Dropped from Tour
Posted in American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, Kris Allen on the July 15, 2009
The victory song that American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi co-wrote and that season winner Kris Allen performed, ‘No Boundaries’, has been dropped from the Idol tour. Usually, the victory ballads performed by and written for the reality show competition champions have achieved great success, such as Kelly Clarkson’s ‘A Moment Like This’. Those songs are also staples of the Idol tour performances. But I guess the song just proved to be as popular as Kara being a judge on the show. ‘No Boundaries’ was a dud in concert so it’s out. I wonder if Kara’s fate as a judge will follow the same path.
Kelly Clarkson Takes on the Fat
Posted in American Idol, Kelly Clarkson on the June 9, 2009
Kelly Clarkson went on a promotional tour in Australia late last week. In a radio interview with Australia’s Kyle and Jackie O Show, the original American Idol talked about her fluctuating weight and the fact that she’s looking pretty heavy these days. The singer said “For seven years it’s been happening. It’s like, ‘Okay cool, the fat joke.’ I love my body, I’m very much okay with it. I don’t think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, I think it’s the media who have a problem with it.” I agree with her. The youth should have more people like
Carrie Underwood Rakes in Big Money
Posted in American Idol, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, Kellie Pickler, Kelly Clarkson, Records Sale, Singer on the May 27, 2009
Carrie Underwood has had picture perfect success recently. While the 26-year old American Idol alum has seen nothing but that since she started her professional career, she’s still giving us reminders that she’s on top. Carrie was revealed to have raked in $14 million last year. She was far and away the top earner for all Idol alums. Jennifer Hudson came in second with $5 million, Kelly Clarkson with $4.2 million, Jordin Sparks with $3.1 million and rounding out the top 5 was Kellie Pickler with $2.3 million. Hmm, I wonder why David Cook and David Archuleta aren’t on the list.
Kelly Clarkson finds hooking up draining
Posted in Music on the April 28, 2009
The present state of Kelly Clarkson’s love life may be summarized with her song “I Do Not Hook Up”. The song is really about taking things slow when you’re in a relationship but it seems Kelly Clarkson is taking the words as a maxim for her lovelife which is not only slowing down but is at a standstill. Kelly Clarkson was interviewed by Rolling Stones and she revealed that the absence of romantic love in her life should not be blamed on her fame or riches because she is not just so obsessed in looking for it.
Kelly Clarkson said she has dated before and she found it draining so she is not really concerned with it. However, she said if it is naturally going to happen then it would obviously be someone from the industry because these are the people who ever really see her. She said everyone seems to be concerned about the status of her dating life but she is not that preoccupied and does not even worry about it since she loves being single and the freedom that goes with it. The former American Idol winner said she is only 26 years old and while she is not in any kind of rush she is definitely keeping her eyes open.
Kelly Clarkson and the things she gave up for fame
Posted in Music on the March 16, 2009
Kelly Clarkson is enjoying a great career making her one of the most world-visible personalities in Hollywood today thanks to American Idol. However, this same popularity has kept her from living a normal life. She is not complaining though and thanks not only her American idol roots for her success but also the people who picked her and voted for her because they wanted to listen to her voice. But while it is flattering and fun she admits that fame came with a price and that’s a normal life.
She said she loves music and she loves her job because it provides her a way to earn money while doing what she loves which is singing. However, in exchange for popularity and great earning power, Kelly Clarkson has had to forego what she usually did when growing up like going to church. She said worshipping has become uncomfortable for her now because she could not go to church and concentrate when people gush around her and tell her how they love her songs. Another casualty of her fame is friendship. She said it is bad that she can’t be there for her friends when they need her just because she is in Europe or somewhere else to fulfill a commitment.
Kelly Clarkson: The Good and the Bad
Posted in Music on the March 13, 2009
When it comes to Kelly Clarkson, I have some good news and I have some bad news. The good news is that, according to HITS Daily Double, the original American Idol’s new album ‘All I Ever Wanted’ is on track for a debut in the number 1 spot in the US next week. The album is being projected to sell between 210,000 and 230,000 units. The bad news is that Kelly’s last CD, ‘My December’, which sucked mind you, debuted to 290,000 its first week. Considering that her new album leaked a couple weeks back, I guess fewer people are buying it. However, sales could go up or stay steady in the coming weeks instead of dropping last her last CD did.
Kelly Clarkson Does Katy Perry
Posted in American Idol, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson on the February 2, 2009
The rumored second single to come off of Kelly Clarkson’s upcoming new album is said to be ‘I Do Not Hook Up’. The single was actually written by Katy Perry around three years ago with Greg Wells, one of Mika’s producers, and Kara DioGuardi, the new judge on American Idol. Katy even recorded a demo for the song. Her version is of course on the techno dance pop genre. I can’t wait to hear just what Kelly’s version is like. I still can’t get over how there are very little or no leaks at all regarding Kelly’s upcoming album. I don’t even know what to expect anymore.
Kelly Clarkson Burns Up
Posted in American Idol, Hit Song, Kelly Clarkson on the January 26, 2009
Kelly Clarkson’s comeback seems to be having a good start as the original American Idol’s new song ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ currently holds the #12 spot on the chart after being released for just a few hours. She’s doing so well that she’s even beat U2. The Irish band led by Bono is at the #25 spot for the moment with their new song ‘Get on Your Boots’. Music insiders also say that Kelly’s new single will hit the top 5 soon. Congratulations to her! I hope the rest of her album doesn’t disappoint either. As for U2, I hope they can come out with better material soon.
