In reply to the discussion: Kelly Clarkson was horrible! [View all]obamanut2012
(26,068 posts)I am not a fun of belters and "runners" like Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce, but they are both very similar singers and both very good singers.
She isn't fake, and she isn't a no talent.
It's one thing to not care much for her type of music (which I don't, and neither do I care for Beyonce's music), but it's another to say someone isn't talented when they are. She, like Ms. Knowles, made it on TALENT. Clarkson is also known for having pnwed the system and gotten out of her draconian contract with AI, and for refusing to "play the game" in the industry. The latter caused her a significant career setback.
I don;t buy her CDs, but I give her props, and she was great yesterday. What is throwing some people, I think, is both the nontraditional arrangement and the very traditional Marine Corps Band backup.
