I hadn't thought of that but that would be pretty neat. Since Kara co-wrote the song, I could see her doing that.

Either way I'm very excited!

Kris Allen, from the new Top 13, mentions Kelly as his favorite female artist:

In all the articles I read this morning about her going on Idol, they say she's singing "My Life". Not surprising, but I would have loved if she sang I Do Not Hook Up also. Oh well. It will be awesome either way. Oh, and Kanye West is going to be there too?!? Seems odd to me, but I'm not a fan of his, so yeah.

**DanceWithLife** · 03-06-2009, 11:47 AM

Kanye West on idol is a bit surprising to me. He doesn't strike me as the biggest supporter of this kind of show.

But I was very happy that Ryan Seacrest announced Kelly being on the show! I can't wait to see it!

^Yeah, I thought Kanye appearing was kind of weird, too, but whatever. :/

But yay for Kelly being on the show!

Can't wait!

So on a bit different note, I've been noticing lately how a lot of the AI people that put out CDs cannot seem to title them. They self title them, which, to me, seems like a bit of a cop-out. I've loved that Kelly hasn't done that yet and always comes up with names for her albums that make sense.

**KC and LP Fan** · 03-06-2009, 05:54 PM

It definitely lacks creativity. I love how Kelly has a title for each album because it really represents the era.

**DanceWithLife** · 03-09-2009, 10:45 AM

I, too, love how Kelly never resorted to a self-titled album. I like that her titles have a meaning.

Kanye West will join Kelly Clarkson on Wednesday's AI results show

NEW YORK - "American Idol" is about to get a double dose of star power: Kanye West and Kelly Clarkson.

The Grammy winners will share the stage as performers during Wednesday's elimination show.

West, making his first appearance on the top-rated Fox series, will perform his hit song "Heartless" from his latest album "808s & Heartbreak."

Clarkson, the original "American Idol," will sing her chart-topper "My Life Would Suck Without You," off her new album that drops Tuesday.

I can't wait to see her on Idol, I hope we get to see her talking to the contestants...especially the ones who have been compared to her!

**DanceWithLife** · 03-09-2009, 11:20 PM

I hope so too! That would be very cool.

Kelly Clarkson: American Idol's life would've sucked without her

Kelly Clarkson shows up to sing "My Life Would Suck Without You," she's the first of the ex-American Idols who will be coming back every week from here until eternity. I thought she was okay in season one; she clearly deserved to win, but wasn't totally excited about her at the time.

While Ryan chats her up, I'm amusing myself by checking out photos from 2002 of the moment when Kelly won, and highlights from Idol's first season. Oh man, the hair....

Then she starts singing, and I have to start listening; she's developed this really compelling voice, like all great singers you just have to look up when they're on.

As Simon has said before, they got really lucky they discovered such a genuine talent right away in their first season.

I mean, imagine if Justin Guarini were Idol's flagship winner... if the show were still on, it'd be sponsored by like Prell or something.

This is neat to see someone else say. I find when I watch videos of her, whether it be singing or talking, I have to watch. Even if I've seen the video a number of times. I've never been able to quite put my finger on it why, but there are very, very few artists that compel this same behavior from me.

It really was a great thing to read. I love this one too:

But the bigger element of the episode -- other than another return visit by Kelly Clarkson, who as usual puts the current contestants to shame -- was the introduction of the "Judges' Save," based on a twist they used a while back on France's "Nouvelle Idol."

MirageDurb · 03-11-2009, 08:04 PM

She does. There was an article back after the season 6 finale where someone was there for the rehearsals and made a comment about how, during the Beatles medley rehearsal, she basically upstaged all the other Idols and made them all look like amateurs... Which, I love the other winners, but I will always love her the best.
