Kelly Clarkson Inauguration Performance: No Lip-Synching Here!
4 months ago
It’s been confirmed, much to the chagrin of many fans: Beyonce lip-synched the national anthem at yesterday’s Presidential Inauguration.
And while this is common procedure for many singers during live events, the same rep who outed Beyonce has come out and made it clear:
Kelly Clarkson performed live during her time on stage. There was no back-up track assistance involved with this amazing “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” rendition:

So much for Miss Independent.
Kelly Clarkson made an exciting announcement tonight on Twitter, writing of boyfriend Brandon Blackstock:
“I’M ENGAGED!!!!!” I wanted y’all to know!! Happiest night of my life last night! I am so lucky and am with the greatest man ever.”
Blackstock, a Nashville-based talent manager, has been dating the original American Idol for about a year. He’s the son of Clarkson’s manager, Narvel Blackstock, who is married to Reba McEntire.
This development may make it difficult for Clarkson to write any more angry woman anthems, but whatever. She’s getting

Kelly Clarkson took a different tact than usual during a concert in Independence, Missouri yesterday.
While the incredible talent has been touring the country and taking fan requests to cover such artists as Justin Timberlake and Mariah Carey, Clarkson mixed it up last night… and covered herself!
But the artist had a very good reason: It was 10 years and one day ago when she took home the first-ever American Idol title. Wow. That makes us feel old, and also appreciative of Clarkson.
Watch her relive that moment via her show-winning single now:

It might not get any more awesome than Kelly Clarkson.
The original American Idol is touring the country at the moment, taking fan requests at each stop and then covering classic tracks. She recently knocked Anna Nalick’s “Breathe” out of the impressive park and prior to that she went with a Britney Spears single.
But outside of Detroit last night, Clarkson put on her coolest performance yet, donning a grey hoodie and making like Eminem.
Watch her version of “Lose Yourself” now, compare it to when Taylor Swift also covered this rap smash and then decide: Who did it better?

We are crazy for Kelly Clarkson.
On Saturday night – the evening before this American Idol champion belted out the national anthem and Madonna performed at halftime of Super Bowl XVLI – Clarkson took to the stage in Louisiana and also took a few fan requests.
Among them? “Crazy for You” by the Material Girl herself, a track that Kelly adorably told the crowd reminded her of a date at the skating track with some dude named Michael Webb. Note to Michael Webb: we hope you regret letting this one go.
Watch and listen below as Kelly does Madonna very proud:

Kelly Clarkson: I’m Not Gay!
1 year ago
Kelly Clarkson may be a miss who thinks of herself as independent.
And she may not hook up and she may be singing about a guy who is a “know it all” these days. But the singer wants to make one thing clear: she’s straight.
“People keep saying I’m gay, and I’m not,” the original American Idol tells E! News. “I’m pretty sure I’ve never made out with a girl. It’s just not helping me because I’m straight. No boy wants to hit on me because I make mean songs about them, and they think I’m gay.”
