Do You Still Care About Kelly Clarkson?

It’s funny, because I came home tonight from a verrrry long Arizona day — seriously I went to a Cardinals game and then out for drinks with friends and somehow it was immensely stressful, but that’s what being home does to me — and I really felt like listening to Kelly Clarkson’s My December, so I brought it up on Rhapsody and started rocking out to it. I don’t care what anyone says, I like that album. And then I’m flipping through the news trying to see if there’s anything important I missed because apparently I am very out of the loop when it comes to anything not involving celebrities. It’s funny, most of the friends I went out for drinks with tonight are in banking, and we all have very similar educations and backgrounds and somewhere along the way I took a sharp left turn and wound up in celebrity gossip instead of M&A, and I’m grateful for it, but everyone’s chatting all about Bernard Madoff and Ponzi schemes and the attacks in Gaza and I’m just like “Uhhh … Lindsay Lohan’s boot are awesome. They have a very high ROI, if you measure ROI in awesomeness. More champagne, anyone?” So I thought I’d come home, put on some Kelly Clarkson, and try to catch up on the real world. What I found instead? An article about how Kelly Clarkson is releasing a new single in January.

The original American Idol’s last album, My December, and subsequent tour didn’t exactly strike a chord with fans—at least in comparison with her 2004 smash, Breakaway.

The songbird is set to launch a new single, “My Life Would Suck Without You,” in January, followed by a new album dropping in March. This comes nearly a year after her fourth album was rumored to debut. Tracks from that attempt were leaked and the recording was abandoned as Clarkson went on tour with Reba McEntire.

See?

The universe doesn’t want me to be well-rounded.

Anyway, I have to be honest, I’m psyched about this. I hope her single’s good and I will definitely be checking out her album. I’m still rooting for Kelly.

  • kelly: no.

    beet: have you ever had the experience when a man acts like an asshole and then says, “huh?” when you call him on it, as if you are delusional, menstrual, or have a very low IQ which he sadly did not realize until this very moment?

  • I think she looks (and sounds) great, even that pic too!

    I’d gladly hear about her everyday here, instead of the Lohan shit,
    which I completely don’t care about. If I never heard or saw another thing about her I would be relieved. I bet if you took a poll you’d find out!?!?
    Glad you got your “boots” like hers, but…

  • I still care about Kelly. I loved “My December” and “Sober” is a haunting song that brings me to tears everytime I listen to it.

    I hope her new album is successful. She is a talent and deserves it.

  • I don’t like her. Not as a singer, not as a fat woman, not as a “celebrity”. Did I mention that I don’t like her?

  • I love Kelly and own all of her albums. And I don’t care what anyone says about her last album, My December, I think it’s brilliant and it’s my favorite of the lot.
    I’m really looking forward to her new single coming out soon and I will be buying her new album for sure.

  • i like her, but all her more recent music seems to rotate around the same ideas. someone either hurt her or they made her super happy.. c’mon, let’s dig a little deeper. =(

  • Wow, Kelly Clarkson is a fat woman? Heaven help women if that definition were true. But, no, sounds like someone who thinks it’s the worst thing you can call a woman who isn’t a size 0. “I hate her, she’s fat!” “darn that cow and her over 5% body fat!” “next thing you know, she’ll eat more than one meal a day!!!” Etc. I care about Kelly Clarkson a lot more than I do about Hmph’s opinion expressed so stupidly.

    • Excuse me because I don’t live in America where people eat at KFC, without thinking about their health, their looks and their jobs. Kelly Clarkson is chubby for the music industry, she knows that, she will have a huge complex about herself, which leads to autodistruction.
      I don’t like her. Not because she’s fat, all her songs are very much alike and she did not evolve at all after all this years. She only got fat.
      The end.

    • Um, I’m sure she’s overweight, for real, as in BMI chart medically overweight. So yeah she kind of is “fat.” But that doesn’t effect her musical talent, and that’s definitely not a reason for people to hate her. To act like famous people are meant to be skinnier than “normal” people is stupid, true…. but don’t act like she’s a totally healthy weight either. Point is, that doesn’t matter and people are ragging on her for it to feel better about themselves.

  • suvey says: no. i do care about girlfriend thinking that a black dress and orange tights is a good look tho–think of the children, kelly! shield them!

  • survey says: no. i do care about girlfriend thinking that a black dress and orange tights is a good look tho–think of the children, kelly! shield them!

  • to answer your question – yes. I still care about KC. I think she’s great! Crossing my fingers she’ll do better with the next album, although I loved “My December”!

  • I still care about Kelly Clarkson, I have love all of her albums. I have been waiting for a new CD to come out.

  • Her voice is still great; just got into a fight with record company on song selection… The single’s title doesn’t sound radio friendly; hopefully it will play, need that rock voice back out there.

  • I am rooting for Kelly. I just hope that she figures out that this is a business, and nobody cares about “feelings” and stuff like that.

  • i think she is stuck in a “jilted angry chick” rut, but she has put out some nice songs and has the voice to pull off a decent album again should one come along.

    what an unflattering picture though, yeesh.

  • Yes, I still care about her. I haven’t even looked at My December, but I’m thinking I’ll have to check it out thanks to the rave reviews you guys have given it. :D

    She’s not fat. God, you people are superficial.

  • Heck yes. I admire the fact that she tried to create something that was artistically true to herself. Bummer that it tanked, but hopefully the next one will do better.

  • Yes I still care! I love her! She ROCKS! I’m really looking forward to her new album and I actually really liked the contoversial (lol) “My December”!
