Kelly Clarkson ( CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.) I knew I'd love VH1's Unplugged: Kelly Clarkson because, really, who doesn't love Kelly Clarkson ? And to hear her sing one of my very favorite Carrie Underwood songs? Clarkson's version of "I Know You Won't" is so powerful for so many reasons. One, she can belt out a song in such a sexy, bluesy way. Two, this 2007 song was outstanding. It was never released as a single, yet if it had been, it would have surely been a massive hit. It is depressing, but in a good way because she is finally admitting to herself that he is a bastard and will never change. And seriously, if there is a better line in Underwood's music than "I know you don't mean to be mean to me," I have not heard it. And three, I love the cello. It's not very often you get to hear strings like that on a song like th...

Attention X Factor wannabes: Kelly Clarkson is a what you should be aiming for. Last night, the original American Idol brought her big-ass vocals and solid star-power to the American Music Awards and stood out among the field of other, non-TV discovered stars. Why? Because the girl can sang and did. No lip syncing. No "ooh look!" pyrotechnics. No Fiat ads set to music (really, J-Lo...it's called shame, get some). Just some dancers, a killer red dress and a version of her "Mr. Know-It-All" that equal parts pop perfection and Andrews Sisters awesome. Which made us wonder about the potential of the remaining X Factor acts. Yeah, we've heard the whole "they're not real singers, they are TV creations" and all that blah blah blah. But ever since her inaugural win, Miss Clarkson has been showing us time and time again that real talent can be found on these reality shows. And if you continue to doubt her skills, check out her VH1 Unplugged from ...

Kelly Clarkson's manager schedules her free time in her diary. The 'Mr. Know It All' hitmaker who shot to fame after winning 'American Idol' in 2002 - hit a low point when she started to struggle with the rigours of fame five years ago, so her manager now makes sure she takes rest days. She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "It's a worry, that's why I really make a point to put time in the schedule. My manager does that for me now, he's like, 'No, you should take a break soon so you're not doing the same thing over and over, you need a break.' So he'll put it in the schedule for me too.

Image Credit: Kevin Winter/AMAs/Getty Images At the American Music Awards, Kelly Clarkson came out swingin . Not only did the original American Idol , clad in a sparkly red mermaid gown, dismiss rumors about her record label conflicts, sexuality, and style by belting, You dont know a thing about me, to reporters, but she flipped the switch on her pop/R&B-lite single Mr. Know It All, turning into a brassy big band production. Surrounded by the 1930s equivalent of paraprazzi (or maybe just the cast of Newsies ), Clarkson bopped and swayed to the jazzy trombone blasts, and she nailed her big chorus riffs at the end of the number. Were about halfway through the broadcast, and Clarkson remains the only performer that Im convinced actually sang her whole song. (Scratch that, OneRepublic just came on stage, and Ryan Tedder is definitely not lip-syncing.) Let me amend my statement: Kelly Clarkson remains the only performer that Im convinced actually sang her whole song, and sang it well ...

She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "If you've got any record of mine then I think they're a little scary for men. Sometimes they're about relationships with guys, but it's more about my work environment. I just write metaphorically speaking as if I'm in a relationship with a guy. I'd be scared as hell to date me. I'd be like, 'I don't want a song written about me'." The 29-year-old beauty would like to find a man who is confident around her when she eventually settles down because she thinks guys find her "really intimidating". The 'Mr. Know It All' singer added: "I never know when people like me, I always find out way later. I think people are really intimidated by me, which I find really weird because I feel like I'm pretty down to earth and inviting. But apparently that's not the case. "My brother says I'm really intimidating to guys, but I don't mean to be. So I need a guy who can handle t...

. On Wednesday Kelly Clarkson Explains Stronger Songwriting was a top story. Here is the recap: (popmusiclife) Kelly Clarkson is back with her new album, "Stronger," and the pop diva certainly continues to present a tough girl image. But there's more to her than that. "I love a feisty song. I like to be sassy. That's usually a breakup song," Clarkson tells MTV. "It's really in your face." "A lot of times, if I'm writing it, a lot of people think that's about a guy; it's not actually about that. It's more about my work environment," says Kelly. "I write 'metaphorically speaking' a lot. Sometimes it's not always about a guy; I just end up writing it more that way because it's better for mainstream radio. I actually haven't dated in a while, so there's no breakup song for me." - She has a lot more to day here popmusiclife is an official news provider for the antiMusic.com.Copyright popm...

It's hard to believe that it's been almost 10 years since Kelly Clarkson was crowned the first winner of "American Idol." Since then, she has become one of the most successful "Idol" alums ever, releasing five albums(her latest, Stronger, landed the #2 spot on the Billboard albums chart ), won two Grammy Awards and solidified herself as a pop diva who belts out powerful breakup anthems . Yet, looking back on that night that America voted her the winner, Clarkson recalls her hesitation in becoming the pop star she always imagined herself to be. "Honestly, even the night I won, I remember Justin [Guarini] and I talking. We were just like, 'Oh, I don't know if this is really what I want to do,' because it's a lot," Clarkson revealed to MTV News. "But I just really loved singing, and at the end of the day, it's worth it." Clarkson has made the most of her time since that night in 2002, but has this journey been exactly ...

Looking for Adele Of course, that was only a joke. Dont worry peeps, theres no beef between the two although Kelly Clarkson did recently tell UKs Guardian : I want to punch Adele in the face! She is just too good. Setting the record straight through MTV News , Kelly clarifies that the statement was simply meant to be funny and that she actually looks up to Adele. That's a term of endearment for me, Kelly says. I think maybe overseas that didn't read well. I meant more to be funny. She's just so talented; she's just so ridiculous it's upsetting. Nevertheless, Kelly admits that she is, indeed, stalking her fellow pop singer only because she wants to record a duet together. I'm stalking her currently through interviews. Every interview, they are like, Who do you want to work with? Adele! I want to do a duet with Adele! she confesses. I've been stalking her since we did '[VH1] Divas' together, actually, and we were supposed to sing together, and then th...

my paper Friday, Nov 04, 2011 Stronger (Sony) 3/5 stars AM I the only one who's tired of Clarkson's "Miss Independent", girl-power shtick? Powerful pipes aside, the first American Idol adheres much too closely to her formula of bubblegum break-up anthems on her fifth album. While competent, songs such as I Forgive You fall short of the standard set by hits like Since U Been Gone (2004). Still, on You Can't Win, one almost buys into the edginess she is trying so hard to sell. For more my paper stories click here .

Kelly Clarkson doesn't mind a little friendly competition. The former "American Idol" winner recently told MTV News she didn't care if Coldplay "killed" her on the Billboard albums chart (her latest, Stronger, came in second, selling 163,000 to Mylo Xyloto 's 447,000). Clarkson might not give a second thought to chart placement, but what does she think about all these other pop divas who have taken over the airwaves? "I always think it's healthy to have a lot of stuff out there, and there's room for everybody, because everybody is so different, especially all the women right now in the industry," Clarkson told MTV News. "We're all very different from each other, which I think is good. It keeps it not boring." We have to agree: The "Mr. Know It All" singer is anything but boring, recently telling the U.K.'s Guardian : "I want to punch Adele in the face! She is just too good." Of course, she was...

Kelly Clarkson's breakup songs aren't all drawn from personal experience. The 'Mr. Know It All' hitmaker doesn't mind being called the Breakup Anthem Queen - as she thinks songs about the end of relationships are "sassy" - but hasn't had dated enough guys to keep writing laments to her own lost loves. She told MTV: "I love a feisty song. I like to be sassy. That's usually a breakup song. It's really in your face. I just end up writing it more that way because it's better for mainstream radio. "A lot of times, if I'm writing, a lot of people think that's about a guy; it's not actually about that. It's more about my work environment. I write 'metaphorically speaking' a lot. "I actually haven't dated in a while, so there's no breakup song for me on there." Kelly, 29, can relate to her sadder tracks, however, as the pain of one particular breakup with a "loser guy" is still fresh in ...
