Kelly To Release New Album In Months! Making Things Right!

74711384.jpg

Finally!

Following the critical and commercial disappointment of her most recent album, My December, and the controversy surrounding it, Kelly Clarkson has agreed to start working on a new album right away, which will be released in 2008.

Clarkson's last album, Breakaway, sold a whopping six million copies in the U.S. alone. My December is expected to sell only about 850,000.

It seems like Kelly has realized the error of her ways and is taking the appropriate steps to ensure she gets her career back on track.

My December, which was released just weeks ago, was shelved by music mogul Clive Davis for months because he didn't think the album had any hits.

Clarkson ended up cancelling her poor-selling summer tour and firing her manager, as a result of all the dramz.

Realizing the error of her ways, Kelly took the bold move of apologizing publicly to Clive Davis earlier this week.

The new album that Clarkson is recording will definitely be more radio friendly and promises to have the big pop hits this recent album lacks. Davis is overseeing the new project from its inception.

      I like her new album, too, but would love to hear her cover some Patty Griffin songs. She's a fan, and did one of Patty's songs on Idol.

      Wipe the shit off your nose Kelly! I knew you would beg Clive for forgiveness you dumbass! If you really think the next album will sell well, keep dreaming.

      The glory days are over for Kelly. Kick her to the curb is what I say.

      By the way, WHY IS KELLY FAT???

      Kelly dear, you may have kissed ass with your boss and made good with him, but you just souled out and shit on the fans that have been supporting you through this. You are the biggest damn hypocrite and wimp on the planet now.

      You really ARE a Whitney Houston.

      Why would I ever buy a KC CD again?? She is a sell out. She is now kissing Clive's ass. What a loser she turned out to be!!!!!

    14. Kelly is GAY says – reply to this


      114

      Kelly is way too FAT. She needs to lose like 30 pounds off her ass and hips to be cute again. She's a dyke though so she's probably not interested in looking cute anymore. Why don't lesbians care about their appearance? Can't you be a lesbot and still look pretty?

      I don't what the big issue is about her album, what I have heard so far is awesome - especially "Sober" - amazing vocals…

      121

      Bloody hell! I hate stories like this! Yes, let's saturate the music industry with even more radio friendly songs!! I couldn't care less what comes out of Kelly's mouth, it is all about the voice for me, she kills it every single time. I absolutely love Never Again. I think the main thing we do is stifle our artists creatively to make a cheap buck… sheesh….

    22. seany says – reply to this


      122

      Just because Fox news reported it…doesn't mean it is true…

      Until I hear from Kelly herself–who walked through fire to get this album out–I won't believe a word of this at all.

      BTW, Perez will find anything negative about Kelly just to bring her down. Too bad, you idiot, because this album is beautiful, heartfelt, and amazing.

      Isn't it funny that some morons are calling Kelly but if she loses more weight she will be underweight! And someone said that Brooke Hogan sounds better than her? LMAO! Brook Hogan hardly has any talent at all. She seems like a nice girl but she's only singing b/c her dad has money! People need to stop hating on Kelly, I think she was the only good singer to come from American Idol.

      129

      Good for her.
      She actually looks beautiful and pretty thin in that picture too…
      Its really nice to see someone who doesn't go batshit crazy when stuff doesn't go perfectly, and actually like works on learning from their mistakes.
      in fact, its pretty rare to see.
      so kudos to her.

      131

      MY DECEMBER is her best album to date because it was hers! The songs are pure and relatable. If you read what she was going through when she wrote them, break ups, friends getting married, having babies, it's exactly what my friends and I are dealing with. So you know what? No, it's not a teeny bopper album, big fucking deal!! It's a mature, amazing, pure, rocking album and her voice is ridiculous and no one can deny her vocal talents. I can relate to so many songs, if you sit down and listen to the words, the meaning behind them, the feeling she puts into it, instead of just reading the garbage the press is writing to sell papers, and actually gave it a chance maybe you'd learn you like something that's not "main stream" too. It's beautiful, meaningful, soulful, rock, and amazing and I love it and I don't give a shit what critics think, they are usually wrong anyway. Just think, if P!nk went the way her record label wanted her to go instead of doin her own thing, she probably would have failed after her first album and disappeared instead of putting out some of the best music there is. Kelly just needs to be ballsy like P!nk and keep goin for it, people will follow, her fans will follow…

      My December was a great album put out by Clarkson that was personal and real. I know if I were in her situation, I would never be able to put out music that I didn't fully believe in. Music is an expression of the self, and to put out garbage for the sake of making a dollar would be hard for me to do. I think Kelly realized during the recording of My December that she wants to be proud of her work, and she wants it to invest her soul into it. I truly believe she did, and that she delivered an honest album with many great songs. Although it isn't radio friendly, the album is touching and moving, and I am so glad that she stuck to her guns and fought for it. She is courageous and I am proud of the artist that she is.

      ok my december is amazing and would have done better if the tabloids didnt rip her apart , they only ripped her apart this bad because they never get anything on kelly and when they finally get soemthing they want to use it to their advantage…and perez is right for once clive said in his speech at a conference that they are working on her new record for release in 2008 and he said it will be an album of mega hits…he is glad to take kelly back on track ….kelly will do fine she is amazing and talented ….clive did not release what genre but kelly said country before the apology so she might have changed to POP i think kelly should stick with pop on this one and then slowly change over

      142

      I don't understand why she is being pushed into making another album. It'll come when it's ready and when she has the right music for her. It just so happens thet My December wasnt to everyones liking but it's just where she was at when she was writing it and nobody can fault her for that. Whether people like it or not is a load of bullshit. If people dont like it then so be it. She likes it, she's proud of her work, that's all that matters. Sales figures and all that money shit means fuck all when it comes to judging how good an album is. This album is, as was her last album, a comlete work of art and an insight into Kelly herself. She is pure perfection on CD, making music she truly beleives in and puts her heart into, GO HER!!!!!!!!!

      LOVES IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      The album has only been out for a month- of course it's not going to have sold six million copies yet. Breakaway wasn't a runaway hit at first either- it gained momentum. If Kelly could catch a break in the press and people actually listened to the album, they'd no it's good. Maybe not as hooky and formulaic as Breakaway but really good.

      this is what happens when people arent really talented or real musicans and dont really struggle to make it. America idol just finds the next person to be famous. And tries to create them. This is sad. Kelly is talented, I just wish she never did American idol.

      She's the golden goose, and at least she's making a civil attempt to get along.
      I don't see that as a sellout, and everyone I've talked to really loves My December. It could be a sleeper and sell well long term, who knows. Maybe they'll compromise and Kelly can sneak in one or two of her own songs on each CD, plus get promotion and touring. That would be the best of both worlds at this point. Both she and Clive benefit, so it would be a win/win.

      …You better get the plunger ready.

      She BEEFS. She'll drop 5 or 6 forearm-sized logs in there with no flushes in between.

      Rumor has it that on the set of "From Justin to Kelly" she used to shit in the shower and heel it down the drain.

      the album is great if people would just give it a chance… if stupid CD would just promote it a little it would do great. hes an ass. kellys album has been compared to alanis' jagged little pill by people who really know music and aren't throwing too busy hating on the album. go buy kellys album, listen to it a few times and then make judgements. seriously people its only been a month. ugh!

    62. gossipmonger says – reply to this


      162

      Yeah, SHAME on those record execs for wanting an album that actually SELLS. Since Clive Davis has FORGOTTEN more than most people EVER know about music, I'm gonna go with Clive's judgement. Since that man has been finding and giving us some of the biggest stars in the industry's history, whomever it was that said he doesn't bring new talent into the biz obviously doesn't have a clue. Maybe if she had taken some advice and allowed someone to tweak her songs, they'd have been better, and this whole series of missteps could have been avoided.

      166

      My December is her best album yet! It's my favourite album of all time! 10 years from now, people will look back and blame Clive and the press for talking crap about this album and not promoting it! My December deserves a fair chance. Kelly fought for this album! She loves it and it is a true fan's favourite! Kelly said it herself that she needed this album for herself! She'd do whatever "they" want on the next CD if My December is release! So no suprise that she's working on her 4th CD. It's just too soon. I mean My December is just a MONTH old! My December and Kelly deserve some promotion in the US and the rest of the world! If you would just sit down and listen to it, it's gonna be one of the best compare to what you hear on the radio nowadays! Don't let the media and what other people say make an opinion for you! You have a brain so listen to the album and say what you HONESTLY think about it!

    67. Don't Believe The Bullsh*t says – reply to this


      167

      Right, so after fighting for My December Kelly's gonna back down now? Very doubtful. She took the high road and apologised (unnecessarily) and all of a sudden she's making a new record? Oh yeah, and for the billionth frickin' time, she CAN write amazing songs. Even if you don't like any of the My December tracks, she wrote 'Behind These Hazel Eyes', 'Because of You' and 'Walkaway' amoung others off her previous album.

      #79 "She won a talent contest that is judged by three rejects who lack any talent themselves."

      Actually, she won a talent contest judged by the entire population of the United States. Not that that matters. So did Taylor Hicks and some girl from Arizona.

      However, she has won two Grammy awards. They don't just give those out.

      As for My December, "Don't Waste Your Time" is a perfectly radio friendly hit. "Never Again" was already top ten on the Hot 100. "Sober" is my favorite song on the album, but is also not radio friendly. It doesn't even have a chorus! "Breakaway" was a lot more fun, but "My December" is more honest.
