Did Kelly Clarkson Commit Career Suicide?
The Decision to Challenge Music Mogul Clive Davis May Have Backfired

http://www.abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/Story?id=3393129&page=1


I never knew this:

After the cancellation of her tour, Clarkson reportedly blamed her management company for ignoring her pleas to book performances in medium-size venues she could fill with her fans, instead of scheduling concerts in 15,000 and 20,000 seaters she knew would be hard to sell out.

^ knew that.

Thanks for the article though

[I-am-@ddicted]

see Kelly has sense about the smaller venues!! Clive is a money hog where-as Kelly is all about the giving fans what they want!!

and I seriosuly hope she doesnt go completely country because not being sefish ... wait ok I am gonna be lol but Country doesnt sell in UK and that means she will keep to Nashville and wont tour over here and then I will cry lol ... over exaggeration but I will suffer!!

I never read this before so thanx for posting

it make makes me so :'( :'( :'( :'(i wish this was i was not true

[kellbell_SCORE]

yeah i heard about htis, smaller venues, such a better idea!

[kellyfan]

[Penguin Lover]

coolio...i never read this before either.
thanks for posting

I also like the idea of smaller venues.  Not only because it's more personal, but, well...this is a little selfish but if the venues are smaller, less people will fit in them (DUH! lol) So that means less "small fans".  What I mean is, I hated going to her concerts and seeing people there who only went because they wanted to have fun.  I mean, it's all about having fun but some of them were just adults who wanted to drink and who didn't even know more than 3 songs!!! I think it should be a law that you should have all of her albums to go to her concert. lmao.  I hate the "lesser fans". 



Anyway, about the article.  I almost fell asleep reading it. lol.  Seriously, do they get that KELLY DOESN'T CARE?! The whole point of wanting the record to be hers and doing it her way is because she cares about QUALITY not QUANTITY. She doesn't care if it sells a lot!!! In the recent Readers Digest article, she said she has enough money now to never work another day in her life.  And she doesn't care whether the CD sells 2 million or 12 million. 

As for her going country...well...I definitely love the country that's not badonkadonk country. lol.  I like the Martina McBride-Reba McEntire-The Wreckers country that's not too country. lol. (How many times will I use that word in one sentence?) And she already said that it will be bluesy-country so I'm sure I'll love it.  But either way...no matter what she sings...Kelly has an amazing soul and voice.  Plus, you know she's still gonna write her own songs so they'll have amazing lyrics as well. 

I just had to laugh at this comment though...

"She just wants to stay home and smoke herb. Thats why the tour is cancelled." LMAO (We knew something was fishy with those Amsterdam cookies. lmao.  j/k)

^ahh I know what you mean Carol, people next to me had no idea of any of the songs...also smaller venues sometimes means good seats.

yeah, really.  Doesn't it suck that our first year in the fan club, Kelly just HAS to cancel her tour? lol.

Haha, yeah, it's just because we signed up. Hehe (mostly because of you  )

i didn't feel like reading all 3 pages, so i just read one of them.
nothing new.
this album probably won't be as sucessful as the past albums.
she needs to release "How I Feel" as her next single if she really wants the album to do well, in my opinion.

*sighs*  I give up. lol.  I don't care how much this record sells...and I'm sick of trying to convince people that it doesn't matter...
