A review translated from a French article:

Proximus Goformusic - Kelly Clarkson – 05/04 – Lotto Arena (+Support pics: Jasper Erkens)

Kelly Clarkson - 05/04 - Lotto Arena (+Support pics: Jasper Erkens)


With over 20 million albums sold and two Grammy Awards, Kelly Clarkson fears no one. Most certainly not a Belgian crowd that, for all intense and purposes, came already conquered.

Hers is a show with minimal production, leaving room for real emotion and, mostly, the music. She opens with One Minute, a performance that sets the bar high - very, very high. But not too high that the rest of the show can't compare. With a voice like no other, Clarkson has no problem bringing the audience to its knees, from the first to the very last row. Her playful banter and jokes quickly bridge the gap between her and the audience - a gap that, with shows so structured and planned to the minute, can otherwise be too visible.

It's important to point out that the original American Idol knows how to charm and conquer her audience very well. And the beautiful performer doesn't hesitate when it comes time to get the crowd going. Highlights: a performance of Sober, during which the entire place was submerged in near darkness, and an acoustic version of Beautiful Disaster, stripped and bare, proving once again that it doesn't take a lot of artifice to make a great song.

Kelly Clarkson proves - if she even needed to prove it still - that she can easily and perfectly combine precision, vocal power, stage presence and a personality like no other.
