I don't think I'd say that on TV because people would hate me!" Instead, she would rather spend time with boyfriend Brandon Blackstock, son of her manager Narvel Blackstock and step-son of Oklahoma superstar Reba McEntire.

Scott Harrison/Retna/ HarrisonPhotos.com Kelly Clarkson performs at Chelsea Ballroom in the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on Friday, Jan. 27,2012. By Mark Adams ( contact ) Sunday, July 29, 2012 | 4:31 p.m. Kelly Clarkson at Chelsea Ballroom Kelly Clarkson is a tough act to follow. The pop star has won several Grammy Awards and delivered a decade of hits, and shes the original American Idol champion. And while the Fray certainly contended Friday night at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Chelsea Ballroom, it was Clarkson who stole the show. The singers 70-minute set was flawlessly entertaining. Clarkson exhibited her versatility as a performer, jumping from ballads to poppy rock tunes while consistently belting top-notch vocals. Her powerhouse voice was impressive during energetic numbers such as Since U Been Gone and Let Me Down -- and it especially shined during the power ballad Breakaway. Clarkson exhibited terrific showmanship and stage presence. At one point, the singer left the stage, p...

Kelly Clarkson has performed a cover of Britney Spears's 'Everytime'. The star sings a new, fan-requested cover at each of her shows and chose to take on the 2004 track in Las Vegas yesterday (July 27). "This is my favourite part of the show because we do a fan request every show. Someone in this audience gets to pick what I sing. We've done everything from Katy Perry to Foo Fighters to Coldplay," Clarkson said. "This song we learned today. I was so excited that somebody requested this song that I asked Jason my musical director to find a harpist. "This is one of my favourite songs. I do it a little differently than her. I actually prefer [Spears's] version better, because it just sounds really sad, but I'm going to try to do it." Clarkson previously tackled Spears's 'Til the World Ends' . Her track 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)' recently became the best-selling single ever by an American Idol contestant , s...

WENN Kelly Clarkson's latest tour has been a resounding success for her - not least because a point in the setlist dedicated to a different cover every night has gone down incredibly well with fans. Before each show, attendees are asked to submit suggestions for a song the star could try her hand at, and then one is picked and worked into the performance. This week, the original American Idol has covered Katy Perry's 'Wide Awake' in Concord, California, and Britney Spears' 'Everytime' in Las Vegas. She explained that the latter, which was Spears' last No1 in the UK, is "one of my favourite Britney Spears songs". Brit and Kel have both made their debuts as judges on talent shows this year. Whilst the '...Baby One More Time' popstar has signed a $15 million deal to front The X Factor USA's second season, Clarko appeared as a mentor on new ABC venture Duets , which was a middling success this summer. Kelly's Stronger tour will f...

Alt-rockers Carolina Liar bring their piano-heavy rock tunes to Chelsea Ballroom at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on Friday opening for The Fray and American Idol Season 1 and Grammy Award winner Kelly Clarkson. I caught up with vocalist Chad Wolf about the bands early success, the decision to leave their major record label and their most recent album, Wild Blessed Freedom.

Carrie Underwood ( CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.) One down, one to go. Now that Mariah Carey has signed up to fill one of the vacant spots (left by the departure of Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler) at the American Idol judges' table, there's just one more seat to fill. And Kelly Clarkson seems to think her fellow Idol alum Carrie Underwood would be perfect for the job. Us Weekly asked if she thought Underwood would be a good fit , and Clarkson said, "She would! Didn't she major in journalism or something? And she can have that face ... that bluff face! She can put that on! She would be good." (Clarkson wouldn't want the job herself because she says mentoring is more her style.) I don't know if I agree with Clarkson about Underwood -- mainly because she just doesn't have time. Underwood is about to embark on her own big tour. So, in theory, s...
