Kelly Clarkson

After Taylor Swift sucked ass at the Grammys, people were understandably annoyed that she won awards. The head of Taylor's recoed label, Scott Borchetta, attempted to defend her by saying, "This is not American Idol. This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. This is about a true artist and writer and communicator. It's not about that technically perfect performance." Understandably annoyed, because Taylor Swift is a rat faced bitch who can't sing, Kelly Clarkson shot back at Scott. Awesome. Loving Kelly and her cajones.

Wow …..Dear Scott Borchetta, 
I understand defending your artist obviously because I have done the same in the past for artists I like, including Taylor, so you might see why its upsetting to read you attacking American Idol for producing simply vocalists that hit ‘the high notes’. Thank you for that ‘Captain Obvious’ sense of humor because you know what, we not only hit the high notes, you forgot to mention we generally hit the ‘right’ notes as well. Every artist has a bad performance or two and that is understandable, but throwing blame will not make the situation at hand any better. I have been criticized left and right for having shaky performances before (and they were shaky) and what my manager or label executives say to me and the public is “I’ll kick butt next time” or “every performance isn’t going to be perfect” ……I bring this up because you should take a lesson from these people and instead of lashing out at other artists (that in your ‘humble’ opinion lack true artistry), you should simply take a breath and realize that sometimes things won’t go according to plan or work out and that’s okay. 
Sincerely, 

One of those contestants from American Idol who only made it because of her high notes.

We've all seen how moronic Adam Lambert fans or David Archuleta fans are. But did you know that Kelly Clarkson has fans that are equally as batshit crazy? Anne Chantal, who posted the video of Kelly Clarkson firing her guitarist on stage, has been the subject of attacks by the crazy Kelly Clarkson fans. Anne has gotten death threats, threats of lawsuits, and more. Not shocking, it seems most Idol fans can't separate their undying obsession with a singer from reality.

Apparently Kelly Clarkson was so angry at her guitarist for doing something on stage (possibly flipping off the audience) back in 2005, that she fired him on the spot. It's pretty awesome. The video just surfaced today from Twitter user anenechantal. Now if only she could've done that to Clive Davis during the My December debacle.

Awesome. After the whole Already Gone/Halo situation, Kelly Clarkson decided to add a few bars of the Beyonce song to her performance last night to mock her own song. Pretty funny.

For more publicity while Paula "negotiates" her contract, Shania Twain is now confirmed as being brought in to fill Ms. Rehabdul's shoes for a few dates. Rumors are also swirling that Joe Jonas and Kelly Clarkson will take a seat behind the judges' table during the auditions. The new slew of guest judges join Victoria Beckham and Mary J. Blige as people who will probably bring very little to the show by repeating producer-generated lines. Katy Perry is trying to work Idol into her schedule as well.

Ah, the life of American Idol winner Kris Allen. He seems like a nice enough guy, but currently he's making two big profile mistakes that could hurt him in the long run. First, TMZ reports that he's trying to sublet his apartment in Cabot, Arkansas since he's currently touring and will then be living in Hollywood. Apparently Kris forgets that the frauen have lots of extra money and lots of extra time to be creepy. It shouldn't be long before a creepy 400 pound woman rents the place and does unemtnionable things to all of his stuff while he's gone. Second, MJ's Big Blog has a photo of Kris in a recording studio with Chris Daughtry. Daughtry's new album shouldn't sell anywhere near what his last one did, so he's on a downward spiral. Don't get caught in that Kris. Kelly Clarkson almost made that mistake, but thankfully somehow got out of it. So what's the summary here? Kris, don't rent your apartment to a frau and don't record with Daughtry if you want any kind of career.

The movie that notified the American public that maybe the American Idol producers were morons is now being shown at an exclusive film festival. But From Justin To Kelly isn't being recognized for being any good. The movie is being screened at the So Bad They're Brilliant film series at the Egyptian Theatre on Wednesday, August 19. Go check it out as a double feature with Mariah Carey's crapsterpiece Glitter. If you can survive the night without slitting your wrists, you are officially a stronger person than most. And hey, at least it gets Justin Guarini back in the news for a split second.

It looks like Kelly speaking out about Ryan Tedder's duplicity got her into trouble with living dead Clive Davis and her record label, RCA. According to The Prophet blog, Kelly was warned prior to Already Gone being released that if she spoke up against the song and made it known that it was a knock-off of Beyonce's Halo, all promotion for the album would be pulled. Now that she has, it looks like there may be no more music videos, no more appearances, and no more money spent on promoting the album to try to spite her. Seriously? Is there any way for her to get out of this contract? This is just ridiculous after her former fight with Clive about "My December". This is what you all have to look forward to, future Idol winners.
