I am sure not many would agree with me, considering she is rarely on the Hot 100 or Beautiful lists, but she should be I think. I believe Kelly is in this year's People Magazine 100 Most Beautiful people- can someone correct me if am wrong ? You're right neally, she is on that list. Here's the picture.

I have always attributed the majority of Kelly's bad fashion sense to her stylist (is it Ashley?) - just because I thought her idol outfits (especially Natural woman) were by and large awesome. I know that Kelly actually has to agree to wear the clothes, but I think someone new would have no problem incorporating some better stuff. I must admit I find it endearing regardless. Her stylist used to be a woman at the label named Emma, Ashley is her makeup artist I believe. I don't know if she is now her stylist. The only reason I know this, which shows how little Kelly is into fashion, is in her interview for Texas Monthly in 05, the interviewer noted how a woman named Emma came into the room, showed Kelly a dress for the photo shoot and Kelly barely looked at it and said that it was great. I think she just really doesn't care all that much about the glamourous life. Did they really have stylist on Idol back in those days? I thought I remember reading that Kelly said that they were sometimes her own clothes. I could be totally off on that though! Ha, I just remember something, Elle magazine shouldn't say things like that, if I can recall, back when she did all those magazine promos at the start of MD, Elle's photoshoot was THE WORST one! Reading that statement, did they do it purposely? JK, I know they didn't, but that shoot was horrible.

I remember something about them giving the Idols a credit card, with a limit..lol, and then taking them to a mall for them to get their performance clothes.

Thanks Focus! It is so hard to remember back in those days how it was, Idol is ALOT different now than it was then!
Oh, and that People 100 Beautiful thing just doesn't count for me! That tattoo section feels like something they had to fill space with and then got pretty much any Hollywood star that had a neck tattoo. Not that Kelly's neck isn't nice and all, but I would like to see her with her own page, picture, column, the whole works!

I think she looked best fashion/bodywise during the first year of the Breakaway era. Her vocals were at her best at that point too I think.

I think Kelly needs some meat on her bones to stay healthy. When she was really super fit looking during the BA era, that was when she kept getting sick and at times had vocal problems. I think she was under nourished. Now that she's back to a more normal weight for her, she's been healthy and perfect vocally.

AMEN and RIGHT ON!! some of those pics from BA, HE tours, she was way too skinny. Guess ya can't win in the public eye! Some say you are fat, some say skinny, glad she is so down to earth!! Thanks for the video Focus!!! I wonder if Emma is still her stylist. I can understand about your booty looking big when clothes shopping, those full length mirrors blow, LOL!

yes,those performances are on par with the studio recording(if not better),but she was using a too high register similar to the yelling which led(among with other problems)to "bad" performances like the Detroit concert shown by AOL and some other ones...I definately don't want to get back to that period,at least VOCALLY speaking,I soo love the nowadays Kelly who's sounding rich,powerful,clear and,IMO,better than ever ;)

(like she did at the VMA's with SUBG) IMO.

I like her voice much better now than back in Breakaway area. It's depth and tone that I lean towards rather than vocal clarity.

I meant that she must have a stylist now because I know she didnt have one on idol. Her choices during AI were by and large so awesome and I know that she picked out almost everything that she wore on that show. It would be interesting if Emma or Ashley or whoever it is took a back seat, maybe Kelly would be better off if left to her own devices!

During the BA era she was yelling to much and she had many vocal issues,now she's PERFECT!She's growing up sooo well,I don't care if She's not that thin,her voice is WOOOOOOOOW!! I disagree. I don't think it was her technique that was taking its tole on her voice in the second and third years of the Breakaway era. It was a pure matter of frequency. Sure she was doing more impressive/demanding things with her higher register, but the success of the album meant she was singing pretty much every day, songs with huge choruses and demanding notes. The reason her voice is in better shape now than it was at the equivilent point in the Breakaway era is because she hasn't been singing as much. Those AOL Sessions/VH1 Sessions/Sony Connect/SUBG promo round were here best run of performances ever IMO.Whilst we get killer performances now, they are amongst rougher ones. That's not to say she's lost it. Quite the opposite as much of you say. She has more depth and emotion than ever before. Now I think her range and clarity is back, I think we'll be getting her best performances ever this era.

The woman is like a VERY fine wine, just keeps getting BETTER with age! LOL neverafan, I am dying to hear some new stuff! One of my all time favorite performances from Kelly was Shelter from the VH1 Hurricane Katrina benefit. The song is lyrically beautiful and I loved her husky sound. When I saw that live, I just about lost it. Only Kelly can bring me to tears when she sings.

McEntire hasn't performed in the Twin Cities since 2000, though she will headline the Winstock country festival in Winsted, Minn., on June 14.

Guess a single release/album release for Kelly this 4th quarter is off the cards then. Couldn't she still release in late Nov/Dec? The tour ends 11/22, right? Isn't it still possible? If so she will definitely be a very busy woman! I just want some new stuff! Thanks for the info on the concert dates everyone. Man, things like this really just still get under my skin alittle. I know when the new album is released all that old crap will be talked about again, but man, I wish people would just let it go...

Ahhh..I'm excited about the new tour dates. And supposedly Jon Bream has always had a bug up his ass about Kelly, so I'm just going to ignore him. A much better report from a Twin Cities newspaper was this one..

Woo! I'm so excited for the State College concert :) And I'm glad tickets go on sale after I get back to school, so I can figure out who all wants to come with me.
