I don't think there was an actual bidding war or any war at all. She mentioned it in her Radio Andy interview yesterday that she had already agreed to do The Voice, or maybe have signed on already even, then Idol came to her about them coming back and wanting her. She told them she was already doing TV (and she likes the format better). I think all that stuff in the media was them leaking stuff trying to guilt her to coming back with them by trying to sway public opinion. From what I remember, the Idol revival was originally going to be on NBC until Ryan Seacrest joined Live! on ABC. I believe NBC planned to cut The Voice down to one season likely in the Fall and air Idol in the Spring slot. That's why they had both Kelly and JHUD locked down already, and then they were transferred to The Voice after Idol went to ABC for Seacrest. I missed the premiere of her talkshow, but caught today's show. It's cute and I'm sure she'll continue to grow as the season goes along.

I was fully prepared for the show to be a total train wreck.
But my god, she is IN her element. She's natural, charismatic, engaging, hilarious, inspiring, and most importantly: genuine. She's the girl we all know and love who was given an opportunity that highlights her strengths and abilities to the max. The thought of her having her own show never even crossed my mind, but after seeing her in concert so many times, it really just makes sense. Also, what an awesome opportunity for her band and crew to have something that is in one place and a consistent source of income for them.
Saving Ellen for episode 2 was a great choice.
I'm obviously looking forward to new music from her. But this is such a great thing - we get new Kelly every DAY.

Am I the only one who thinks she's a terrible host?! I'm a stan since day one, but the girl makes it all about herself! She brings guests to talk about herself! she cuts them a lot to talk about her own experiences! she even made a compilation video with jennifer garner and completely turned it into herself (I know it was to showcase how competetive they both were, but the guest was... well, the guest!)
I dont know... maybe its something that will take her some time to get used to, letting people talk and focusing on guests or maybe this will be her trademark and people will go to kelly's show to talk about... her lol

I think she’s doing great!! So much Better than I expected tbh.. yes, she has a lot of excitement but that’s probably just because she needs time to be fully comfortable. Give her time and she will be perfect. The first episode I wasn’t sure, but the last two have been so fun to watch and I’m saying subjectively as a Viewer rather than a fan.

Show seems to be doing great. Don't think I need to see the full episodes, the clips are enough since they're quite extensive! There are some kinks to iron out but I'm sure they'll do that quickly.

Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Bad Romance’ Cover Has Changed Me FundamentallyBy Zoe Haylock@zoe_alliyah Kelly Clarkson is a woman of so many talents, we have no choice but to turn jealousy into unbridled love and admiration. The OG American Idol’s brand-new daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, radiates joy from your screen like vitamin D from the sun. Even though the most of a daytime TV show I’ve seen in the past year is this clip from The Ellen Show where she asks her “hunks” trivia questions, I am officially stanning The Kelly Clarkson Show. Every episode kicks off with a different “Kellyoke,” where she covers a popular song. For instance, the premiere had Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5,” complete with a montage of Kelly working in different professions and a Steve Carell introduction. The second episode featured “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga in a cover that would be unrecognizable if it wasn’t such an iconic song. Kelly’s stripped back version ditches the (again, iconic, don’t come for me, stans!) synth pop and transforms it into a 1980s headbanger. Simply put: It rocks. Kellyoke rocks. If we don’t get a Kellyoke soundtrack eventually, NBC will be hearing from me and my lawyers. More Kellyoke, straight into my bloodstream, please! www.vulture.com/2019/09/kelly-clarkson-cover-bad-romance-video.html

So far, they're pretty much putting up the whole episode on youtune, just broken up. There might be just a couple things that they aren't, like her "what I'm liking" thing at the end? So that's good for the cord-cutters (I'm just now realizing how many of those there are) and overseas people, etc.

Most see the name "The Kelly Clarkson Show" and haven't really thought about her since "Since U Been Gone" was a hit. Or know nothing about her aside from her weight fluctuations. They really don't know a lot about her. These first episodes are not only a chance for her to interview guests - it's a chance for her audience to get to know her as a talk show personality, not just a musical artist. She's reinventing herself, and because of that she has to introduce herself to the world as something more than an early 2000's pop star. If she wants her show to be successful, the most important thing for her to sell right now is herself. Also, to me, her talking about herself has genuinely come across as her trying to connect with her guests through her own experiences. Every guest left with me knowing quite a bit more about them than before they came on. She's definitely still learning and growing, but this is a completely new venture for her. And if there's anything we know about her, it's that she puts in the WORK when she needs too.

She 100% needs to let her guests talk more, and I’m 100% sure that the producers are telling her this and she’s actively working on it.

Yeah, I see your point Could be that she needs to sell herself first as a form of re-introducing herself to the GP that might've not heard about her for quite some time Of course I wish her the best and to be the best she can be... she's an amazing artist and she can do whatever she decides to do. Wouldnt want this to cause her to neglect her music carreer, I dont want another PBP album

This, but I also feel like part of this show's brand has been how much Kelly talks. I don't think they've tried to curb that much in the early episodes since it's more or less what was promised. I'm sure the show will eventually be more about her guests, but for the first half of the first season I think it makes sense to make it more about her. That said, I haven't watched a full episode yet. I wasn't ready for all the content to keep up with!

I don't get the "she's ditching music" complains when she's literally doing covers everyday.
I'm sure she'll find the time to record if she wants to. These are pre-taped so they can schedule around her recording sessions and be fine.

These are pre-taped so they can schedule around her recording sessions and be fine. And people are missing the fact that she's...under contract. Atlantic isn't going to be like "Okay yeah go do this talk show, seems awesome! Let us know when you feel like recording some music again and we'll be ready!" They clearly saw that her celebrity status had dropped to the point where good music wasn't enough, so they spent the last 18 months building that back up so when she releases her next single, the potential for success is higher. Simple as that. The only aspect of her music career I see this affecting is her touring schedule. It will probably always have to be summer tours, which she was already sort of settling into. I'm also concerned about her talking so much and what that could do to her voice, but just have to trust that she's taking care of it in the right way.

I'm also concerned about her talking so much and what that could do to her voice, but just have to trust that she's taking care of it in the right way. Yeah, as I think I've pointed out, the choice isn't Kelly be Ariana Grande or this talk show. Her time as a 'Popstar'/pop radio staple was coming to an end. And since she never hit the Pop superstar highest heights for more than about 18 months (prolonged/repeated time at that echelon rendering one a legacy superstar forever), and was always comfortably B-List thereafter, she could have gone the way of Christina, Avril, Nelly, Fergie (and I know they've all had varying degrees of post-peak success) and we could be seeing a low-selling album every four years, and a small worldwide tour every six. I don't know why having her on the biggest music show on television two seasons a year, with a millions strong audience chat show platform, facilitating great passion project albums and soundtracks with a label that loves her, enabling her to still tour arenas while we get five new HQ covers a week isn't cause for every one of her fans to be praising whoever they pray to! :/

Yeah, I just don't get why people (not so much here - but on other forums) have such a problem with the talk show because it's not "music". She literally just did a tour this year and her last album came out nearly two years ago, with her likely halfway through recording the next one. It's not like she's on a 4/5 year album cycle like some of her contemporaries at her peak of success...the ones Jack mentioned to name a few. She's not doing anything differently with her music than she's been for the last few years, she's just added several other projects to her plate. She's been working her ass off.
Think back 10 or more years ago when we thought Kelly would quietly retire one day because she would be worn out. I'd have never guessed we'd be where we are today. It might not be the pop it girl status many of us wanted her to have, but that was never going to be sustainable anyway. She couldn't be playing this any better, not just for her brand, but for her bank account too. People don't have to like or enjoy her talk show, but you cannot deny that she's working hard and seems genuinely enthusiastic about each part of it.
Oh - and I also don't think she's talking over people too horribly, nothing I've noticed at least. What I have noticed is that she isn't rambling and seems to be staying on topic, which she always seemed to do in some interviews or on her live streams. I guarantee she's being coached by her crew and we'll see things change with time. Besides, she's bound to be more excited at this point in time because it's the first week of shows and she has such enthusiasm and admiration for the guests she's had this week. We'll see how things evolve.

And let’s not forget that this is a live taping but it is, ultimately, taped. They have time to edit out parts if Kelly is rambling too much. If they thought she was talking too much then they could edit some of it out. I think they want/need her to show her personality and that includes her being super excited and down to earth and that includes her talking a lot.

We'll see how things evolve. Right! She did what any shrewd superstar does when they get to a certain point in their careers. They pivot. Beyoncé abandoned radio (Pop especially) before they abandoned her, and rewrote the rulebook. Pink spun headfirst into being one of the all time biggest touring acts. Kelly has found her place in TV. Those who fail to roll with the punches end up barely being heard from at all, and that was Kelly's only alternative really.

You'd think at some point all the "omg, she's not doing such and such anymore" crowd would get tired of saying that because she's always going to be doing something in some fashion and music will always be involved, that's just her. First it was burnout, then it was she got a boyfriend, then it was she's getting married, then it was she's having kids, etc. and after all these things, there was always a group that would say she's disappearing forever, yet she never has. She did what she had to do in her 20's to survive and she could've easily called it a day and rode off in the sunset after that wave. Her life changed big time when she hit 30 and imo, she has flourished since then in so many different ways. I'm not going to say that Brandon was the best thing to happen to her, but I'm also not going to say he wasn't. I don't think it's any coincidence that she has taken on so many different things since he came in the picture, things I don't think anyone ever saw coming, but things that are her. He's her biggest cheerleader and I'm very thankful for that because that's allowed her to keep her promise to herself about saying "yes" to things she never would've in the past. Never forget though, music is the center of everything. Dave Holmes wrote an interesting article last week for Esquire about "the deleted years" between 2003 and 2012 of music when cds were fading and streaming hadn't taken off yet...the ipod years. It goes on about the careers that decade ate up and how few stars were made during that time, which falls in line with what Jack mentioned a few posts back. Reading through this made me realize that all the stuff that happened to Kelly during those years (and really, how many people would be able to thrive after going up against someone like Clive?), we're so lucky to be sitting here today still talking about her in a relevant way. We still get albums about every 2.5 years on average, side songs are getting released all the time. I actually feel sorry for other fanbases of her contemporaries because we're really spoiled by the output she's had in the last 7-8 years. She did a great interview (as always) with Larry Flick the other day. The question and answer starting at 8:43 is fantastic. 1. She says, "we're still making records. I'm still recording right now for my next record and I love it and I'll never quit it, I love it."2. talking to Brandon after a couple tapings "is it odd that everything in my life has prepared me for this job? Is it weird because it's a job I didn't even know I wanted? It's become this really important thing to me that I now get to do music and I get to have humor involved and all these things are coming together." 3. Answering why she's gotten lucky in life when she knows so many people that are better at all the things she's doing, but she's still succeeding: "I do it because I want to do it, not because I have to." https%3A//soundcloud.com/user-973216256/in-depth-with-larry-flick-9-11-19tl:dr I wish (some) people would just have a little more faith in her.

when did this place turn into the kce? First substantive discussion in this thread in months and you come on with your first post and completely miss the point. Bravo. That must be a record. Reading again more carefully, perhaps you'd notice that most people were actually being quite unforgiving in terms of her time as a huge popstar, and her prospects after her short time at the top - and how her spinning her career into lasting, diverse success is somewhat of a miracle. If that sounds like lip service to you, again, I'd suggest reading again till you understand what people's words mean or not comment at all.

We are extremely spoiled! There is KC material out there that equals 20+ studio albums (official solo + duet songs + leaked songs).
However, it is not easy being a fan outside of the US unless your rich boss gets Kelly to do a private gig lol!
(Nearly) Everyone has valid points - I just really hope that all the efforts blend into her worldwide brand through viral hits/global collaborations, because I have yet to see her in concert.
Judging by the clips I believe that Kelly just needs to find her own style and flow, which is absolutely understandable. Once she gets comfortable enough and gives us the sass we know she has, I am sure it will be even more enjoyable. Her authenticity is what makes her so likeable + she's not trying to hard like James Corden f.e.
Also, if I understood correctly, Christina Aguilera is her guest next monday and the AI reunion with the judges and Justin is next wednesday.
LAUREN GRAHAM is my #1 on the guest wish list.
