Kelly Clarkson - Kelly on American Idol #4- Because "the others are just her backup singers" - Page 11

**dwindling hope** · 05-07-2008, 03:52 PM

the backup dancers! Wow I haven't watched Kelly on idol clips in soo long. I really think I need to haha.

And I much prefer Kelly's Without You to Carly's

And I dont know. I mean I like when the contestants sing songs I actually know. But then the judges always compare them back. Like when that girl sang a Fantasia song! But if I were them, I wouldn't sing a song Kelly already performed on the show and sounded amazingggg on!

I agree.

And I too need some Kelly reminiscing. Here are a few AI videos of Kelly's...

Is Kelly possibly going to be at the finale? Hmm...she is in LA after all...

The last few "American Idol" eliminations have been shockers, so at this point in the singing competition anybody could go home next. America can be fickle. Will the finale be the battle of the two Davids, or will Jason or Syesha miraculously improve their game, win America's votes, and find a spot in the Top 2? Whoever ends up battling it out for the Season 7 title, you can bet that the finale show will be quite an event! All 12 of the finalists will return for group numbers and duets alongside tons of celebrity guests. Rumor has it that with Paula Abdul's first studio release in over a decade due in stores this summer, the Forever Your Girl star will debut a song from her upcoming album on the "Idol" finale on May 21st. And Paula fans can expect an all-out "Idol" extravaganza. We hear that this season's Top 12 "Idols" will perform with Paula on the brand new Nokia Theatre stage -- and two "Idols" from each of the past six seasons will also return to Hollywood for the spectacular season-closer.

That would make my life. Two from each season is a lot though. Do you think she would even get to sing? Ohh if she does, I wonder what song she would sing!

Oh this is wayy too exciting

i seriously hope its true

**DanceWithLife** · 05-18-2008, 10:31 AM

Two from each season is quite a bit! I don't know how that's all going to go down. I would really like it if Kelly was one of those people. The fact that she's in LA right now is a good sign. I'll just keep my fingers crossed

Maybe they'll do something similar to the "One Voice" performance she had done with the season 2 contestants. That'd be cool.

From their LIVE Idol Finale blog. (Kelly was not there)

Kate: So I think footless singing is a no go.

Mandi: It works for Joss Stone and Kelly Clarkson though. I don't think dudes should try it. No need.

Kate: I wish Kelly Clarkson performed half as often as Carrie Underwood does.

**dwindling hope** · 05-23-2008, 01:02 PM

I think Kelly is the only one who can pull off the bare feet :p

But i was really disappointed Kelly wasn't there. I agree with this Kate. I wish we had more Kelly!

**DanceWithLife** · 05-23-2008, 01:05 PM

Me too, I wish Kelly had been there. But at the same time, they had a lot of stuff jam packed into the finale so maybe they didn't have enough time to fit Kelly in anywhere anyway.

And I agree...our Kelly pulls of the barefeetness very well.

What did you guys think of that little montage they did on performance night though? Where they basically only showed Kelly, Carrie and Daughtry? What happened to all the other winners? I kind of felt bad for them.

**dwindling hope** · 05-23-2008, 01:51 PM

I thought it was hilarious! Daughtry didn't even win! But those really are the most successful Idol contestants. At least the ones that get airtime on the radio

**DanceWithLife** · 05-24-2008, 09:34 AM

Yeah, they really are.

I just felt bad for the other winners that were even included in the winners circle.

When David was asked if there was a former Idol whose career he admires, he mentioned Bo Bice, Chris Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.

I Love this title

**DanceWithLife** · 05-30-2008, 11:19 AM

As soon as the article that said that came out, we all knew it was a perfect title

**dwindling hope** · 05-30-2008, 12:24 PM

Ohh love that David Cook mentions her. But Bo Bice first? Random

And this title is so classic. And true

**DanceWithLife** · 05-30-2008, 02:10 PM

There is another mention of Kelly by David Cook.

It's a video where he says he really respects her career, because she came right out of the gate and was so successful. And when the interviewer mentions that she's been fighting hard to have control of her music, David says that he really respects her for that too.
