Kelly Clarkson To Tour Australia In 2008
Local News, By cecbuzz, 20th September, 2007

Pop Idol winner Kelly Clarkson has announced she will be bringing her My December tour to Australia in March 2008. Given that Clarkson’s 2005 tour sold out in record time and that Clarkson fever is again at a high, these dates are certain to sell out.

Clarkson’s tour is in support of her new album, My December.

“My December is a journal of my last two years. The songs go from emotional ballads to fun rockers. I can’t wait to perform them live for all my fans in Australia,” says Kelly.

Clarkson’s debut album, Breakaway spent an unprecedented 52 weeks in the ARIA Top Ten, was certified six times platinum and through hits like Since U Been Gone, Because Of You, Behind These Hazel Eyes and Walkaway dominated Australian radio for 18 months. By project’s end, Breakaway sold six million copies in the U.S., 11 million worldwide, won two Grammy Awards, four American Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, a People’s Choice Award & a staggering 11 Billboard Music Awards.

With My December, Clarkson is set to repeat this success with first single Never Again quickly rocketing to Gold status in Australia and second single One Minute the #1 Added Song at Australian radio on release.

Did you mean with the Aria Charts withstandings??

Oh no, I didn't mean with charts stuff. I just meant as far as appearances and promos. She's doing more shows in Australia than she is in Canada

diggerdrogo · 09-19-2007, 09:04 PM

Cause I was going to say that although Breakaway did drastically fantastic here, Canada has praised My December more

Australia's choice in music confuses me, I either agree to strongly with it, or it disappoints me

I know, she should be on Australian Idol this week, I look forward to it!!

It'll be very akward if she sings Never Again, as a young girl sang it and Mark Holden said:

What a stupid song to pick. That is the song that nearly ended Kelly Clarkson's career

However, I think she'll sing One Minute, as that is the next songle to released here!! I

that song!

I wonder how that judge is going to react to Kelly rocking the house then

diggerdrogo · 09-19-2007, 09:08 PM

Mark Holden is the biggest tosser, so, we'll see

He will probably be jealous

Kelly's going to be on the radio next Thursday! Nova 969. Not sure of the show..probably one of those morning or arvo ones 'cos they're the best times to be on. I only mention it cos I thought it was cool to hear that she's actually going to be HERE next week.

I kinda wanna go to see her in concert [missed out last time] but I'm a bit over the screaming & jumping up and down [from both her & the fans]. I would love to attend an intimate show.

DanceWithLife · 09-20-2007, 07:20 AM

It's been mentioned she'll be doing Intimate Showcases also, so maybe that'd be better suited for you. I don't know where they are but I hear some have been confirmed

I think it's really cool that she's in Australia doing promo. Aussies love her!

I

showcases, I'll have to see one!!

Well, I think it's great that you think that, because not that many people I know like her

However, I do know many people who do so, all's good

DARKNESSBALL · 09-20-2007, 05:30 PM

well she is extremely popular in australia so people must like her. its not just a myth.

i think it's cool that she's doing a month's worth of promo there. she should just forget about the us and focus on overseas and canada, where clive davis can't touch her success as much.
