Wow, just wow. Bring Me Some Water was awesome.
Vocals were nice on Already Gone. I just do not like that song.

Kelly Clarkson To Put Ryan Tedder Drama To Bed On Upcoming Tour'VH1 Divas' performer plans to do a 'diva-esque' take on 'Already Gone' to differentiate it from Beyoncé's 'Halo.' When MTV News caught up with Clarkson on the "VH1 Divas" red carpet, we asked her if she had settled her differences with Tedder or if she would advise her fellow "American Idol" alumni against working with him in the future as a result of the controversy. "Oh no. I have a lot of songs that I've done with Ryan, and they all sound very different. It's just, unfortunately, in that situation, they sound exactly the same," she laughed. "But our melodies are different. Beyoncé and my melodies are different [on the songs]." Clarkson did say that she'll be performing a different version of "Already Gone" on her upcoming tour, which launches October 2 in Connecticut, but that she made the change because she wanted to try a new, appropriately diva-fied spin on the tune. "Unfortunately, it comes out where a lot of songs sound similar and, I don't know, I want to sound a little authentic, so we changed it," she said. "It's a little acoustic, and then it breaks out into this big, beautiful, diva-esque thing." And the new version of "Gone" won't be the only change on her tour. She's also throwing a new cover or two into the mix, one of which is sure to delight her (many) indie admirers. "I'm going to do a Black Keys song this time out," she said. "I don't want to give away which one, though. It's a soulful, bluesy one, which is all their songs, really." theres a video of the interview at the link www.mtv.com/news/articles/1621839/20090918/clarkson_kelly.jhtml

Kelly doesn't like yes people so I am gonna give it straight. AG: Beautiful but the arrangement still bores me (about the only song she sings that I would rather hear on the radio...unless she returns to the NOVA format, that was flat out incredible) I also was distracted by her appearance. JHud, Adele and Jordin all need to teach Kelly major style tips - they are all bigger girls but those three make it work and Kelly...I dunno, maybe its cause she is shorter than they are. Why didnt you just stay in the red carpet outfit Kelly!? Anyway... Duet: YES!!!!!!!! NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!!! I really could not get into the show at all except somewhat for Adele and then Kelly and Melissa just killed it...forever smitten. : )

Kelly & Melissa rocked it OUT. Absolutely fantastic, and the single best performance of the night.
I gotta say, though, I was a bit disappointed with Already Gone. I know we're spoiled with performances like Nova, Letterman and GMA, but I really wanted her to KILL it with this and it was just...4th best. Still good, and definitely the second best solo (gotta give that to Adele), but yeah.
Though, I will say, it was the only performance everyone in the room I was watching it in was totally silent.

So, I haven't been able to keep up with Kelly this summer due to having a f*cked up summer. But my schedule is finally calming down, and I decided to check to see what Kelly's been up to. First, OMG her hair is RED! I Love it! I remember her saying that she would dye her hair red during the BA era. But I'm also going to take it as a tribute to Reba. ;) Second, just saw Kelly's response to the whole Kanye/ Miley Taylor thing. (I'm probably like the last person on earth to have seen that, but working 2 jobs left with me no time this summer. ) Kelly kicks ass. Third. Holy God. Fan-f**king-tabulous duet tonight. Kelly and Melissa were so awesome, I needed to make up a new word to explain the awesomeness of it. I haven't seen a lot of live versions of AG, so I don't really have anything to compare it too, but I thought it was brilliant. Sept. 17th is my b-day, so I'm gonna take this as my own special birthday present. ;) And she looked gorgeous. Even with the chicken pants. Now I have months of Kelly news/performances to catch up on before classes start. ETA: Oops, mixed up Miley with Taylor. Sorry! I still had Miley's horrendous performance on my mind. I need to go watch more Kelly to erase that.

Her voice was obviously pretty tired. It was all that damn talking She was on that carpet for some time. And girl talks FAST. hahahah I personally didn't hear anything wrong with her voice. Performance and vocally, I thought she was spot on. Although I can definitely see where you can see the "vocal tiredness". Her voice DID crack at the beginning of the song while she was introducing Melissa.

Her voice DID crack at the beginning of the song while she was introducing Melissa. As soon as that happened I was like "oh boy". The problem was her harmony part was very high for a sustained period, I think it wore her out a bit. I'd be surprised if her soundcheck wasn't better vocally actually. They brought the swagger and everything, I just wish Kelly had brought 15% more technical chops to it.

It brings another dimension to it. Had it been a pure ballad in the Mariah/Celine/Whitney vein, hoarseness would've been more of a problem.

Kelly just has so much fun out there! I can't help but smile when I watch the duet and I feel pretty sure I would have enjoyed it even if she sounded bad. That's what I love about seeing her on tour, those amazing vocals along with so much great energy!

From the worldwide album sales estimates thread: [/color] U2 No Line On The Horizon 3.352.500 3.352.500 Eminem Relapse 2.667.500 2.667.500 Soundtrack Hannah Montana: The Movie 2.427.000 2.427.000 Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D. 2.369.000 2.369.000 Green Day 21st Century Breakdown 2.261.000 2.261.000 Bruce Springsteen Working On A Dream 1.597.000 1.597.000 Lily Allen It's Not Me, It's You 1.496.000 1.496.000 Kelly Clarkson All I Ever Wanted 1.228.000 1.228.000 Depeche Mode Sounds Of The Universe 1.041.000 1.041.000 Rascal Flatts Unstoppable 1.017.500 1.017.500 ------------------------ -Full List with 950 albums estimations at www.worldwidealbums.net/[/quote]As for the Divas show: -Bring Me Some Water was awesome, although Kelly sang it so much in Melissa's style you couldn't tell some times which one was singing. Kelly was super-energetic, her moves and her outfit were very reminiscent of this: -As with her Kimmel performance, AG was an A+ for emotion but a little weary vocally compared to how she was singing it before she got sick at the end of August. I don't know if people who haven't seen all her live performances of it would pick up on that. Hopefully she'll get plenty of R&R the next two weeks and be back to 100% for the fall tour. -Kelly looked totally mouth-wateringly gorgeous on the red carpet, she should have worn that outfit to perform instead of the green dress, which was cute but she doesn't need to wear things that make her look wider. Her body is perfect for that kind of black dress.

wow...dont mean to be mean..but the difference from that idol in 07 to now in 09..she did get bigger...im just worried now...i hope she sheds some on tour..i dont no if shes a healthy weight anymore..ANYYYWAAYYY changing the subject on that...based on those sales that wallace posted her album droped 8% this week WW to 9.500 copies..with 1.22 million WW shes not far from beating MD (in same # of week 1.46 million WW) and BA had been just starting to blow up with (2.77 millioN WW in same # of week)
as far as the performance...ya she sounded tired..but i think they were both great performances...besided the green dress..she looked huge in it..but blew me away with the duet...i wish she got to do one with Adele too tho

GLOBAL TRACKS: AG jumps from #40 to #31 with 68.000 this week -the single is already rising faster then IDNHU which debuted at #38 and rose to #35 and peaked at #25 and fell after 7 weeks out of top 40

Geez - did Divas have any effect on anyone who performed last night? My only gauge is iTunes and I swear it seems like nothing has changed. What a bummer.

Well AG did go up one spot but the problem is that positions can go unchanged or even drop but the amount sold could be rising. It is all relative. This is being repeated a lot so it will probably continue to help sales a bit.

I died a little (ok a lot) watching the Kelly/Melissa duet. I was sitting there with my mouth hanging open.
GAH.

Yes, her and Melissa tore the house down with that performance. Kelly was easily the #1 diva there last night.

Her performances were awesome! She looked like she's lost some weight. When she jumped you even saw some stomach action and it didn't look bad?

She did pretty well last night. AG was alright... Nothing we haven't seen before. The song just isn't that exciting live. I liked the duet, but I wish they did a different song. I was hoping for something that people actually knew lol.

That song was a HUGE hit for Melissa. I sure knew it and as a matter of fact, it's my favorite song by her..lol. I wish they'd record a duet of something together. Their voices really compliment each other and both of them are such passionate singers.
