K. Clarkson is putting her foot in her mouth and going back into the studio.

After a lot of drama, which included low sales of My December, talking shit about Clive Davis, and firing her manager, KC seems to have lost all her rebel steam.

First, she publicly apologizes to Davis, pretending she never said contemptuous things about him. And now, it’s reported that she’s going into the studio to record a new, more “pop friendly” album that will be out in 2008.

As much as I want to see my girl succeed, I can’t help but wish she had stuck to her guns a little more. Kelly, I’m sure Clive Davis is an old asshole. So, he knows a thing or two about pop hits, but he can still be a creatively stifling, money hungry CEO.

And sure, your last album didn’t sell as well, but that’s because it was a personal record. 12 year-olds aren’t going to be dancing to it in their living room, but does that really mean it’s a failure? Read More »

Kelly. What. Are. You. Wearing?!

Girl, you’re full figured. I love it. It’s refreshing. It’s your body, be healthy and happy. But please keep in mind…certain outfits don’t look good on everyone.

I’ll give you an example. Guess what I can’t wear? Grey leggings. They look horrible on me. It’s like two sausages are connected to my torso. Plus, I sweat right through grey cotton. It’s a nightmare. I don’t wear nightmares. So grey leggings aren’t part of my wardrobe.

Tight, tight, tight black pants and some kind of weird, Indian/biker belt should be your no no outfit, Ms. K. There’s no need to dress like every other skinified starlet out there. There are ways for curvy girls to make their bodies look good. Let the untalented bimbos wear scary Indian/biker belts. Cover yourself in something flattering. Prove to America that beautiful comes in all shapes and sizes.

Let’s make a deal, K.C. Right here, right now. I’ll resist buying that jumper I’ve been eyeing that will only look good on a 6 foot tall model, and you stand firmly against pants that squeeze your thighs like water balloons.

Great. Glad we could have this talk.

What do you think about KC’s new look? 

Still love Kelly Clarkson despite her recent concert cancellations and rumors of a sucky CD? Me too. That’s why I was happy to find out MTV’s The Leak has her new album in it’s entirety for our listening pleasure.

As someone who’s not the biggest pop music fan but feels an inexplicable love for Ms. K, I gotta say that I like this album. The third track, “Hole” is about as hard rock as any female pop vocalist has gone in a long time, and Clarkson is no slave to inane hooks. Say what you will, but I’ll take an interesting song over something that repeats itself 7 times any day. And with lyrics like “It seems every time I find a good man / He’s got a good little wife / I’m not jealous but I won’t lie / I don’t want to hear about your wonderful life” “How I Feel” is a great song to yell to alone in your room, espescially if you’re single.

“Sober” is her apparent new single, and although it’s pretty much your standard pop-ballad fare, her voice is expressive enough to make you believe every word she sings. And I still don’t know how she hits those high notes with the force she does. You try it on your own and you end up screeching, but somehow K. Clarkson rocks them. Every time. Even in concert.

Oh my god. I never thought I would say this. Kelly Clarkson’s new song SUCKS!

What is going on here? I’ve always loved Kelly Clarkson. In all my years of watching of American Idol, I voted exactly one time and it was for Kelly. I even seriously contemplated dying my hair like the cover of her Thankful album, (with the bright red and platinum blonde streaks). Thankfully, I didn’t– but that’s how much I loved her. Not to mention the fact that nothing is more perfect for a run at the gym or singing along with your car windows down than her last album Breakaway.

So what gives? When I was home over Spring Break, I was shocked when my best friend told me she cringed every time she heard a Kelly Clarkson song.

“WHAT do you mean? I loooove her” I replied in astonishment.

To which my best friend pointed out that on 90% of her songs, Kel screams. “Uch whatever” I thought and I pushed her criticism aside. I mean after all this friend of mine doesn’t like Christina Aguilera OR Chris Daughtry’s voices either- what does she know?! Read More »
