Kelly Clarkson Rocks the Hard Rock!

Former "American Idol" champ Kelly Clarkson performed to a packed house at the The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Friday night, and ET has the details on how she celebrated after the show.

Clarkson was spotted hanging out with about 30 friends at the Wasted Space club, where she sipped on Stoli Blueberry and danced the night away.

New York Yankees champ Johnny Damon was also seen at Wasted Space with his wife and friends. He enjoyed some Jack Daniels, Patron and a bottle of Dom Perignon sent out by his former baseball teammate Jason Giambi.

Kelly Clarkson @The Joint

Mega pop star Kelly Clarkson had a sold-out, enthusiastic crowd of fans for her concert at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel, and it even brought out a New York Yankees World Series winner. Kelly and left-fielder hero Johnny Damon wound up this morning partying at Carey Hart’s Wasted Space. Johnny was in one VIP booth with his pals, and Kelly was in her nearby VIP booth dancing with her friends until the wee hours this morning. Erik was on duty front and center for her performance.

I haven't looked at the list yet but I'd be surprised if Since U Been Gone wasn't on there.

**DanceWithLife** · 11-08-2009, 12:48 PM

I'll definitely have to check out the full list when I get home. I assume SUBG is on there too.

carey hart....isn't that pink's husband/ex husband?

**DanceWithLife** · 11-08-2009, 09:58 PM

I do believe it is yes. I think, if I'm not mistaken, that it's his club in Vegas.

They were honoring Rhianna at the Glamour Awards and in their little video they played Kelly's music.

Kelly Clarkson Says Next Album Will Be 'Really Different'

Quote:

'American Idol' alum is looking to release new LP next fall.
By James Dinh

Kelly Clarkson's post-"American Idol" career has been full of surprises, and judging from a recent interview with Chicago radio station Kiss FM 103.5, her next album may contain even more - like a departure from her signature rock/pop sound.

"Yeah, we're already working on it," she told DJ Ty Bentli. "We tour throughout 2010 overseas and then we actually are probably going to have released the record in the fall of 2010," Clarkson said of next year's agenda.

Aside from writing some of her own songs, the singer is currently penning tracks for other artists, noting that she sometimes keeps the tracks for herself if she really likes them.

"What's really weird is right now I've got a really cool [music] publisher I work with that has hooked me up with a lot of different writers that do a lot of tracks and stuff," she said. "So we've been writing for other artists but then I end up liking it so much that I can't give them away, but they're really different. The next record is probably going to be really different."

Clarkson did not specify which artists she's been writing for. And while the "American Idol" alum is heavily involved in the creative process, she did confess that her hectic schedule can sometimes interfere with how much she actually gets to write on a record.

"If I end up liking stuff that I've done I'll include it, but if I like other stuff better then I'll just have more of that. Sometimes you're just more inspired, I guess, and especially if you have records that come out real close together, it might be more other people's songs because there's not enough time to write and sing and perform and do everything," she said.

The North American leg of Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted Tour ends in New Orleans on December 13, and the singer begins her lengthy overseas jaunt - which is scheduled to cover Europe, Australia and New Zealand over 10 weeks - in England on February 7.

thank you for that article about the new album!! oh i can't wait for it!

**KC and LP Fan** · 11-16-2009, 04:47 PM

Definitely can't wait!

But is it wrong for me to say I hope it's not too far from her pop/rock sound. I love EVERYTHING kel does and definitely appreciate a variety on albums, but looking at my favorites (hazel eyes, don't let me stop you) they definitely have a rock sound to them.

The Decade's 50 Most Important Recordings

http://media.npr.org/assets/music/pr...g?t=1258149127

Quote:

November 16, 2009 - It seemed like an impossible task, but that didn't stop us from trying. With the first decade of the new millennium coming to a close, we decided to compile a list of the 50 most important recordings of the past 10 years - a list that covers a wide range of styles and genres, with indelible songs and albums that challenge, inspire and captivate. These are the game-changers: records that signaled some sort of shift in the way music is made or sounds, or ones that were especially influential or historically significant.

Favorite records don't necessarily qualify. A lot of people, including nearly everyone at NPR Music, love Fleet Foxes' debut album, but was it one of the decade's most important? (You can tell us what you think in the comments section below.) The 50 recordings that appear here are listed alphabetically. We've included artists and bands from a number of musical worlds, from dubstep and hip-hop to Top 40 pop, classical, jazz, world, beardy folk, metal and hard rock. There's some country, too, but admittedly no grindcore or goa trance. (Again, you can tell us what you think in the comments section below.)

A lot of people, including All Songs Considered listeners, helped put this list together. As we culled through the nominees, tears were shed and arguments were had. But one thing we all agreed on: This was one of the best decades yet for music. We can't wait to hear what comes next.

Breakaway [Bonus CD]

Artist: Kelly Clarkson
Song: Since U Been Gone

Say what you will about American Idol; its impact on the pop-music landscape is unmistakable. Even as the music business shrinks, the show has spawned tens of millions in album sales and directly launched massively successful careers in country (Carrie Underwood), R&B (Jennifer Hudson) and rock (Chris Daughtry). All of which might have been thwarted early on had the show's first winner, Kelly Clarkson, not become a massive pop star -- her success, remember, was hardly a foregone conclusion at the time. Clarkson didn't just sell a lot of records; she also sold a lot of good records, and 2004's Breakaway shows her at her spiky, poppy best. She managed to overcome the stigma of American Idol and even the laughable movie spin-off From Justin to Kelly, and wrote a workable playbook for seemingly disposable pop stars who want to stick around longer than anyone expects. -- Stephen Thompson

Great article there and it really does make you think how important Kelly being sucsessful was!

If she had flopped we may never have heard of Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry!

It really does. I really think we wouldn't have had as many seasons of AI if she had been a flop. Her success made the show successful.

Q100 Atlanta | The Q100 Office Christmas Party 2009 with Kelly Clarkson

Adam Lambert Out Magazine reply, People sexiest man, Kris Allen sales, Kelly Clarkson at the Loft for Q100 | American Idol

Quote:

Breaking at 5:50 p.m., thanks to Kelly&CarrieFan! Q100 is hosting its annual free concert for its listeners at the Loft (capacity 650 people) with headliners Kelly Clarkson and Jay Sean (No. 1 song "Down"). Two things to note: only way to get in (besides connections) is to be a friend of Q100 online or to win tickets on the station. And Kelly will be doing a "power acoustic" set for just 25 minutes, according to Q100 OM Rob Roberts. This will not be a full concert so don't expect one. But it should be cool in such a tiny setting. Wasn't I just complaining about her not coming to Atlanta? This isn't exactly an ideal situation in terms of getting all her Atlanta fans a shot to see her, but it will be a treat to the lucky few who do get in.
