i dont understand...she looked sooo good in the breakaway era....i mean from the beginning to the end...she dressed younger, she looked great all the time...i cant remember a bad moment...but then since 2006-ish she has lost it...she dresses like shes 10 yrs older and doesnt seem to be very fit...im not saying really thin...cuz she shouldnt have to...but she just doesnt look healthy...maybe its just the dress....like Idol Gives back..she looked HORRIBLE and HUGE when she isnt that big...poor kelly, oh well...if shes happy then lets support her!

Does anybody else think she looks sad tonight? She just doesn't look very happy. Probably because she looked in a mirror and saw how she looked. |

WTF? Are you sure you are a Kelly fan?? You appear to give some back handed comments....I just don't get you....being honest is one thing, but I don't think that is it at all.
I think ALOT of them look like hot messes this year.
Hmm....Kelly doesn't look her best in the red carpet dress...her performance outfit is much better IMO....
I would love to get some audio of Piece of My Heart....I have been longing to hear Kelly sing that!!

now that i look at the pics again. her body looks normal but it looks like she took something to puff her cheeks up. lol anyways she looks a lot better when she is standing next to people and her preformance outft was okay. She just needs a stylist who can dress her so she can look good in her body frame

I HOPE KELLY GOES HOME EARLY AND SKIP THE RCA/J RECORD GROUP PIC. i dont want her to be in the pic with the skinny/hot/attractive girls like carrie underwear and leona lewis etc or she could always sit by jennifer hudson instead LOL Pronunciation: \ˈsha-(ˌ)lô\ Function: adjective Etymology: Middle English schalowe; probably akin to Old English sceald shallow — more at skeleton Date: 14th century 1: having little depth <shallow water> 2: having little extension inward or backward <office buildings have taken the form of shallow slabs — Lewis Mumford> 3 a: penetrating only the easily or quickly perceived <shallow generalizations> b: lacking in depth of knowledge, thought, or feeling <a shallow demagogue> 4: displacing comparatively little air : weak <shallow breathing> Good for you, neally. Sometimes I seriously wonder what being a fan really means to some people. Me...I'm used to Kelly's lack of any fashion sense. Just give me her music and I'm a happy camper.  |

A lot of them looked bad or off. I wonder what it was because normally I think they look cute/hot.

A lot of them looked bad or off. I wonder what it was because normally I think they look cute/hot. We've had torrential rains the last few days in Southern California. We've had lots of flooded streets, flash floods in the deserts, and mudslides in the foothills. Last night on the local news, they showed an area in Long Beach where the flood almost reached the top of parked cars. Some areas received over 4 inches of rain in about 24 hours, which is stunningly unusual for Southern California. So I'm certain the weather affected how many people looked at the Davis party. Right now, at 9:08am Pacific time Sunday morning as I type this, it's partly sunny, but chilly in the Los Angeles area, but more storms are moving in. |

I really thunk there was some sort of horizontal distortion going on with the first batch of pictures on the red carpet. Kelly looked like she was four feet tall, incredibly wide, and with gargantuan arms-- as if she were looking in a fun house mirror. In the later HQ photos, that distortion was gone-- and she looked good.
In the HQ photos she was taller, thinner, and had normal looking arms.

Clive's pre-Grammy party: Whitney Houston returns, Kelly Clarkson shows sass10:31 AM PT, Feb 8 2009 Suddenly there she was, after all this time. Whitney Houston walked onstage at the end of Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy gala at the Beverly Hilton on Saturday in a leopard-print corset dress and a coat that made her look a bit like a big cat -- her hair a nimbus of curls, her smile a tolerant mask. She didn’t waste time warming up with a minor hit. The big band’s flourishes signaled the start of her signature ballad, “I Will Always Love You.” Everyone -- the entertainment business moguls schmoozing their way through this Grammy weekend; the stars for whom this annual fete is a way of renewing their membership in the glamour club, including Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia and Jamie Foxx; and even the servers still filling wine and water glasses -- stopped to listen. But Houston did not milk the moment. She simply sang, strongly but without melodrama. And before the high notes could challenge her, she moved on, switching to her 1983 hit “I Believe in You and Me,” the scariest part of the night behind her. The rumor that the singer would appear at Davis’ party had solidified during rehearsals for the event, when Davis himself confirmed it to MTV. It was the latest scene in the story of pop’s most famous Henry Higgins and his wayward protégée, a woman who’s struggled with drugs and a disastrous marriage to the singer Bobby Brown, but who is finally back and ready to fight for her spot at center stage. Houston’s short set, which also included her hip-hop-flavored “It’s Not Right but It’s Okay” and “I’m Every Woman,” a cover song that’s been part of her repertoire forever, enraptured the crowd. Hudson and Fantasia hugged the stage, waving their arms in testifying fashion. Foxx caught the whole thing on his camcorder. Was Houston’s appearance worthy of the crowd’s joyous reception? On one crucial level, yes, though the voice that once seemed able to topple mountains had grown more subdued, and the high notes just weren’t there. Houston, who had grown disturbingly thin in recent years, looked healthy. She hit her cues and delivered the songs with confidence. This felt like the beginning of something, not its climax: a tentative though friendly rapprochement with the diva role Houston once defined. Now in her 40s, she may simply never regain the astonishing range and power of her youth. Onstage, she seemed to be working on ways to sing distinctively though those natural gifts have slightly dimmed. The performance was enough to inspire hope that her next step won’t be disastrous. Comebacks formed a defining arc within the long show. There were older artists whose careers Davis had helped revive -- Rod Stewart, who opened the show, and Barry Manilow, who crooned a cute jingle he’d penned for Davis after performing a reverb-drenched duet with Hudson. There was the “Dreamgirls” star, who’s been dubbed a heroine this Grammy weekend for putting aside her grief for the several family members who were murdered last October and returning to the stage. She sang her own single, “Spotlight,” with focused feeling. There also was Kelly Clarkson, whose disagreement with Davis and her record label about her under-appreciated 2006 rock album, “My December,” seems to have been wholly forgiven now that her candy-sweet new single, “My Life Would Suck Without You,” is selling like crazy. Clarkson showed characteristic sass pushing that song, but she still burns a torch for harder music: She really got down performing a song Davis brokered in an earlier era, Janis Joplin’s classic rocker “Piece of My Heart.”Sean “Diddy” Combs presented his own kind of resurrection when he and Faith Evans performed “I’ll Be Missing You,” the 1997 song they recorded as a tribute to the late rapper Biggie Smalls. (Evans is Biggie's widow and a notable singer in her own right.) As the executive producer of “Notorious,” the new biopic about Smalls that is proving a box-office success, Diddy has good reason to revive memories of his old friend now. His performance was ebullient and sincere. With several of his other young favorites on the bill, including Leona Lewis, Josh Groban (pinch-hitting for Usher, absent due to a family emergency), and the steamy rock band Kings of Leon, Davis must have himself felt some kind of renewal. The 76-year-old executive could have easily seen this evening go the other way. Last year, he saw his job title change from chairman and CEO of the Sony BMG conglomerate to the more peripheral "chief creative officer." And after three decades, he’s turned over the reins of this party to the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, making it an official pre-Grammy bash. The Recording Academy handled the transition gently, awarding its annual Salute to Industry Icons Award to Davis and allowing him to remain in his role as a lovably long-winded emcee. In turn, Davis shared the microphone with other power players: academy President and CEO Neil Portnow, producers L.A. Reid and Babyface and artists Foxx and Kanye West. Perhaps the underlying transition was what made this evening feel so much like a warm family reunion. Never does a strong patriarch earn so much love as when he’s stepping aside a bit (though not entirely; Davis would never do that) and making more room for the next generation. In this context, Houston’s longtime status as a prodigal daughter seems more poignant than ever. Back in the flock, she'd definitely been marked by her time away, but seemed ready to take up her load and work. -- Ann Powers latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2009/02/whitney-returns.html
