I posted this in the new album thread but I think it's worth posting here too

OneRepublic frontman teams up with Clarkson

By Nick Levine, Music Editor

OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder has confirmed that he is working on new material with Kelly Clarkson.

Tedder, who co-wrote and produced Leona Lewis's number one hit 'Bleeding Love', told DS that Clarkson's new songs will feature "big choruses" and "heavy drum programming".

He also revealed that the songs are influenced by nineties electro-rockers Garbage, while one song, a mid-tempo rock ballad, features an experimental bridge inspired by Mozart.

Clarkson reportedly clashed with her record label over the musical direction of her last album, 2007's My December, after Sony BMG chief Clive Davis deemed it less commercial than her previous releases.

Yeah, awesome news I think, both "Bleeding Love" and "Apologize" have been such captivating hits.

I look forward to their production.

Kelly Clarkson Touches Down On Aussie Soil …[Wednesday 12, March 2008]

As pop idols go, songstress Kelly Clarkson has succeeded greatly after winning the American Idol contest a few years ago; her popularity has soared both in her home country of America and here in Australia.

Kelly attracted a massive crowd of screaming, excited young fans for her concert at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. As the Texan bounced onto the stage following amazing performances from support acts, the young Jamaican sensation Sean Kingston (the man behind the hit Beautiful Girl) and the charismatic singer/actress Mandy Moore, the crowd responded with loud, piercing screams.

Equipped with a surprisingly powerful voice, Kelly was capable of belting out some exceptionally controlled tunes that ranged from ballads to rock songs – the pretty 25-year-old included her hits Breakaway, Never Again, Since U Been Gone and Because Of You. Although the show went for just over an hour, the sassy Texan managed to blow away the crowd with her haunting vocals and her emotionally-filled songs.

Oh, and I read an article about Kelly in some trashy magazine, about her weight, and she said something like "I plan to lose it all after my tour ends".
And she blames her "lost" love life on it too.

But most likely dribble

Thank you for the review of the Aussie concert!!

You should add it to the tour thread too

As for the weight thing, it always amazes me that magazines focus on that so much.

Pope 2008: More on Kelly Clarkson and the Pope

Quote:

More on Kelly Clarkson and the Pope
Dr. Jennifer Pascual, director of music at St. Patrick's Cathedral and director of all the music at the liturgical events for the papal visit in the Archdiocese of New York confirmed with me today that Kelly Clarkson is indeed singing at one of the events, but not the "Concert of Hope" as I had reported on this blog earlier. Rather, she will be performing the "Ave Maria" at the youth festival being held at St. Joseph's Seminary. The event, as well as the Mass at Yankee Stadium, are being produced by Stig Edgren of SEG Events, the same production company that produced Pope John Paul II's 1995 Mass in Central Park.

Oh my God...Kelly singing Ave Maria will be AMAZING!!!

It really shows she is a real singer, and respected for it too
