Kelly Clarkson: Official Topic

[Dionesque]

Anyone of you here know something about a new European tour???

 

When Kelly was here on promo-tour in November, there were talks about European tour and concerts in Germany in April/May.

A few weeks later it was already clear, that these months are impossible as she'll first touring USA by than.

 

But now May is almost over and I wonder if she'll be in Europe any soon or not at all for now?...

[seantrainor]

She's going to be in the UK for a bit. But I don't know about a Stronger World Tour yet. She's doing a summer tour with The Fray in the US so the UK looks like the only European dates for right now...

someone's not happy of Clive Davis's bio book!!!!

Hey y'all

 

So I just heard Clive Davis is releasing a memoir and spreading false information about me and my music. I refuse to be bullied and I just have to clear up his memory lapses and misinformation for myself and for my fans. It feels like a violation. Growing up is awesome because you learn you don't have to cower to anyone - even Clive Davis.

 

First, he says I burst into "hysterical sobbing" in his office when he demanded Since You Been Gone be on my album. Not true at all. His stories and songs are mixed up. I did want more guitars added to the original demo and Clive did not. Max, Luke and I still fought for the bigger sound and we prevailed and I couldn't be more proud of the life of that song. I resent him dampening that song in any way.

 

But, yes, I did cry in his office once. I cried after I played him a song I had written about my life called "Because Of You." I cried because he hated it and told me verbatim that I was a "sh*tty writer who should be grateful for the gifts that he bestows upon me." He continued on about how the song didn't rhyme and how I should just shut up and sing. This was devastating coming from a man who I, as a young girl, considered a musical hero and was so honored to work with.

But I continued to fight for the song and the label relented. And it became a worldwide hit. He didn't include that in the book.

 

He also goes on to say My December wasn't successful because I co-penned the album and it didn't have "pop hits". Well, first let me say, I've co-penned many of my "pop hits." Secondly, My December went platinum (It sold 20,000 less than All I Ever Wanted which followed My December.) Hardly a huge failure. Never Again, the ONLY single they released in the US from that record was a Top 10 hit. I am very proud of that and I have my fans to thank. But, again, what's most interesting about his story is what he leaves out: He doesn't mention how he stood up in front of his company at a convention and belittled me and my music and completely sabotaged the entire project. It never had a chance to reach it's full potential. My December was an album I needed to make for myself for many reasons and the fact that I was so completely disregarded and disrespected was so disheartening, there really aren't words to explain….

 

Anyway, I love my job. I love my music. I love my fans. I love my label and all of my professional relationships… now. And I am grateful for Clive for teaching me to know the difference.

 

Cheers to another amazing year! And, as always, thanks for listening!

This is what i LOVE about this woman! She doesn't want to be pigeonholed. She speaks her mind and she knows what she does best. I think she doesn't really want (and never really wanted) to be a music superstar. All she wanted was to make music she loves and she believes in. Kudos to Ms. Independent for such a brave and fearless act. Way to go, Kelly!

[Neddo]

I absolutely love few of her songs especially from album Stronger.

[Dionesque]

Love Kelly, she's not a diva at all, she's just a lovable, funny and cheerful "girl-next-door" who happened to be blessed with a great voice!

Hope to see her in Germany sometime again, the 2 shows I attended so far were both sooo great and energetic!

[Jeff Abbott]

I like some of her songs too, esp. "Catch my breath".

[Ray]

Up till recently I only bought her Breakaway album.

 

BUT... now I've also bought her Greatest Hits. It's really good.

I bought the deluxe edition which contains 21 hits plus a DVD with all her fourteen videoclips.

A must have IMO.

[Macaronie]

One of the greatest voices ever.

[LuisMa]

Video for new single, "People Like Us"

 

[Si J'etais Quelqu'un]

I have all of Kelly's albums, I love her. In my opinion, the extent of her vocal abilities can sometimes be obscured by the pop-rock style she likes to do so much. It's been 11 years since she won Idol, and it's easy to forget everything she accomplished on that show. I strongly feel that, if she wanted to do more pop, more ballads, if she turned her attention to vocal showcases, absolutely NOBODY would be able to stand up to her on that count, not Christina, not Beyonce, she's just that far ahead of the pack. She just chooses not to showboat, which is okay.

[Jeff Abbott]

Kelly's "Dark Side" rocks big time. It's one of those songs you take to instantly.

[Ray]

Her first Christmas album is coming late October!

[ErwinG]

I liked her way when she won American Idol ... but never actually followed her, but have heard many of her songs, and liked many songs ... but never bought any of her CD's ... but I do want her Greatest Hits album ...

 

I am actually loving her new song "Tie it up" ... and looking forward to her Christmas Album as well ...

[Prima_Donna1]

I love Kelly. She is actually one of those singers out there today that catch my attention. Yea I liked "Tie it up" too a great song with a country/rock style. Tho she does have other great songs.

[Si J'etais Quelqu'un]

Her new holiday album is great. A real reminder to everyone of how stunning a voice she has. Here are two immediate favorites.

^ Her version of Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel, stunning.

 

 

One of the new originals, maybe my favorite of them. I actually think the original songs are quite good all around.

[celinefanonline]

got her xmas album yesterday! and it's actually really good!! classy but yet modern, there's some jazzy feeling in some songs too!!

[ErwinG]

I got to listen to this one ... and I enjoy it very much ...

 

[ErwinG]

Kelly will be having her own TV special ... not sure when and which channel yet ... but here is a sneak-peek of her singing "Underneath the Tree" ... I like this song very much ...
