October 5, 2012 The original American Idol, Kelly Clarkson takes a stab at Carrie Underwood's 'Blown Away' . I love both singers and the original of course but Kelly blows the doors off with a haunting stripped down version of the song.
September 26, 2012 The CMA Awards are set for Thursday, November 1, in Nashville, and the first set of performers have been revealed.
August 14, 2012 I went to see Kelly Clarkson in Detroit at the DTE Energy Center last Friday night and was happy to see Jordan Meredith perform a Miranda Lambert song, “Mama’s Broken Heart,” with Kelly. The two performed this same song on the ABC show Duets a month or so ago and did a fantastic job with it. I was fortunate enough to talk with Kelly backstage about women in country music, and I’m thrilled that Jordan will be recording some new country songs.
August 2, 2012 There are some pretty tall guys in country music. Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, James Otto, Darryl Worley, they're all pretty tall. But none of them stood taller than Jason Aldean when he sang with Kelly Clarkson in Phoenix last night. I know that he's become a big star, but I had no idea he was this big!
July 25, 2012 Former American Idol winners Scotty McCreery and Kelly Clarkson have been vocal about their picks as new judges. Kelly likes Carrie Underwood for the job, and Scotty thinks Garth Brooks would be a good choice.
July 17, 2012 I hate to toot my own horn, but I do believe when this show debuted I said it would come down to superstars Jennifer Nettles, Kelly Clarkson and their amateurs in the finale of ‘Duets’ on ABC. The winner will be revealed from America’s votes this Thursday night, and the odds on favorite is Jennifer’s team having both of her two contestants still in the competition.
July 14, 2012 American Idol has certainly seen its fair share of country singers. It's produced some big stars in country radio, too. From Carrie Underwood and Kellie Pickler to Kelly Clarkson and one of the newest country stars, Scotty McCreery, they've all gotten their start from being on the American Idol stage. But has the show finally come to a screeching stop?
June 21, 2012 Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles and her duet partners land the top two spots again on the ABC show ‘Duets’. Jennifer’s partners have consistently delivered each week and remain the judge’s favorites
June 8, 2012 Because I’m a big fan of Jennifer Nettles and Kelly Clarkson I’ve been sucked in to the show ‘Duets’ which started off a little slow but now has found its stride. The first five shows including last night’s third episode were pre-taped with the four superstar mentors Clarkson, Nettles, Legend and Thicke all scoring the others ‘duet’ performances with the amateurs each week. Last night one of Robin Thickes partners, Alexis Foster was the first to home. Here’s how the show works
May 24, 2012 Tonight is the night to "duet." The new singing competition called ‘Duets’ premieres on ABC tonight and gives us a new twist. Four superstars will compete alongside their chosen amateur duet partners. Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles has found two singers to compete, R&B influenced J Rome and her fellow Georgia native John Glossom. I would think Jennifer will have an upper hand in this competition, seeing how she is part of a duo and will have experience sharing the spotlight and singing harmony with a partner.
May 10, 2012 I saw this video and had to share it with you, it went viral a few days ago and it’s really inspiring. The video was made at the Seattle Children’s hospital and features kids with cancer along with the staff singing and dancing to the song ‘Stronger’ by Kelly Clarkson.
March 27, 2012 After winning the first season of American Idol, Kelly Clarkson sky rocketed on to the pop charts with hits like ‘Breakaway’, ‘Since U Been Gone’, and’ Because of You’ which she wrote when she was 16 and later recorded with Reba on the Reba ‘Duets’ CD.
