Kelly Clarkson in Self Magazine.

Kelly Clarkson appears in this month’s Self magazine.


Kelly Clarkson said...

"Writing is therapeutic for me. It’s at least acknowledging that there’s something seriously wrong right then that I have to get out. Otherwise, it will eventually just kill me. I’ll start to become this other person who is jaded or always questioning everything around me. I don’t want to be that person.”

Kelly Clarkson was asked about her first single, Never Again, if it was about her breakup with David Hodges said...

"You know why, I won’t confirm it? It’s like, look, dude, I’m not at this place anymore and I don’t want your name blasted everywhere, because I don’t even want to give you that credit. People make mistakes. They’re idiots. You don’t want to blame them for the rest of your life.”

Jordin Sparks Wins American Idol 2007

It was not the best final I have watched, but Jordin Sparks deserved to win.


Jordin Sparks said she grew up on "American Idol," and watching the television show since she was 12 years old and telling her mother it was what she wanted to do.


Jordin Sparks told reporters backstage after winning in the season's finale...

"Now I'm actually doing it,"

Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks started the show with “I Saw Her Standing There.” The Gwen Stafani was brodcast live from her concert. It was not one of my favorite songs of Gwens, and what the hell was she wearing.

The the first American Idol Kelly Clarkson sang “Never Again.” then that was followed by the top six American Idol male finalists performed “Ooh Baby, Baby,” and then were joined on stage by Smokey Robinson to perform “Being With You” and “Tears Of A Clown.”


Blake Lewis and Doug E. Fresh performed “The Show.” which I thought was a bit crap.


Then the top six American Idol female finalists performed “I Heard It Through The Grapevine,” and then were joined on stage by Gladys Knight to perform “I Feel A Song In My Heart” and “Midnight Train To Georgia.”


Next up was Tony Bennett who performed “For Once In My Life.” then followed by Melinda Doolittle and Bebe & CeCe Winans who performed “Hold Up The Light.” Melinda Doolittle has god a massive career ahead of her.


American Idol season 4 winner Carrie Underwood performed “I’ll Stand By You.” and then a crap performance by Sanjaya Malakar and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry performed “You Really Got Me.” Joe Perry was great though.


Next in line was Green Day who performed “Working Class Hero.”


American Idol season 5 winner Taylor Hicks performed “Heaven Knows.” I think Taylor Hicks is great, he is a good singer and performer. Jordin Sparks and Ruben Studdard performed “All I Need to Get By.” Bette Midler performed “Wind Beneath My Wings.”


Then a tribute to The Beatles Sgt. Pepper was performed by American Idol winners Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Hicks, Carrie Underwood, and Ruben Studdard with the American Idol 6 finalists.


Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell predicted that Jordin Sparks would win, well we all did, while Paula Abdul said both were winners.


The after a world record 74 million votes that Jordin Sparks was the winner of American Idol season 6 in 2007.


Jordin Sparks said..

"Thank you so much for everything,"

"Mom, Dad, I love you. Nana, Papa, P.J., thank you guys."

Then she began "This Is My Now," the tune picked by viewers in a new online "American Idol" songwriting contest.


Well thats it until January 2008 for season 7 to start.. what will American watch now?..
