Kanye got his ass beat….by Reba McEntire!

The country crooner's new duets album, Reba Duets, is the number one album in America this week.

Reba's new album sold more than 300,000 copies in the first week — more than double McEntire's previous first-week sales high of 124,000 with It's Your Call in 1992.

Congratulations!

This is as close to #1 as duet partner Kelly Clarkson is gonna get for a while!

      Hey Jeb. Thanks for the sane, calm question about my previous email. Among other things, Reba opened the Country Musci Awards with this: "I don't know why I was so nervous about hosting this show this year," McEntire said. "If the Dixie Chicks can sing with their foot in their mouths, surely I can host this sucker." Why gang up on them? I also believe Dolly is being shafted. She was around wayyy before Reba and talk about a kind and loving woman…..and she has lips and doesn't sound like a donkey when she speaks…

      Woah, woah, WOAH people. Please can we just calm down? You all just need to chillax. Reba's a talented artist, Dolly is awesome, Kanye is great, and whether you're a republican, a democrat, or a communist, you're still human. We're all pink on the inside. God bless everyone :D PEACE.

      Stop bashing Kelly.
      BOY duet version is a top 3 smash hit at the country charts right now. Kelly penned it. It has been a BIG hit before too.
      Kelly's had so many hits and she has such a good voice. You should really shut up talking bull shit about her.

      And congratz to reba!

      I love this new CD. Soooooo many wonderful singers on there from Kelly Clarkson, to Faith Hill, to Don Henley. How can you go wrong with this album?? I can't believe all of you who are dissing one of the greatest singers of all!! Reba is an amazing woman all around. She has a heart of gold and a voice of an angel.

      Reba totally desereved this, and I'm glad she knocked whiny Kanye off the top. FUCK YEAH. Reba, I fucking love you.

      ok talking about Britney Spears is one thing but dont talk shit about Kelly Clarkson!!

    14. Britcha says – reply to this


      114

      Yeah reba is pretty much the shit!!! she definitly does the damn thang. Brittany and all those little slores should definitly take a page from Ms. McEntires book if they knew what was good for them. Reba works her ass off for everything she has accomplished and she still remains probably the most humble celebrity around.

      Go Reba. (says the anti-country chick)

      I used to like Kanyes music, till he started bitching like a little white boy. 'give a black man a chance, i'm so much better than everyone else ya'll, watch my ego blow the roof off this joint'

      fuck off.

      117

      She didn't bad mouth the Chicks. She was making jokes, like she always does at the ACM's. The chicks, however, did bad mouth Reba in a magazine last year. "We don't want to be in the same CD player as Reba McEntire or Toby Keith, we don't want those kinds of fans." So guess what, the Chicks aren't in the same CD player as them because the Chicks got took out. And Reba graduated from college, by the way. Has a degree in education. HAHA, makes you look like a dumbass.

      OK Perez, I like your blog … but why take the shot at Kelly Clarkson. Yeah her album flopped, but it isn't like she isn't trying. You do realize the single that she duets in is HER song that SHE wrote when she was 16.

      Yeah Kelly could shave a few pounds, but she is clean, stays away from negative press, doesn't have divorces, do drugs, come out of clubs drunk, … you get the point. As I think you stated WAY back, Kelly is expecting an album to drop 1st quarter 2008 so judge her then.

      If this One-Dimensional old hag can sell 300,000 album units….Then there is
      hope for other artist who are way more talented, older and if not more or just as popular…

      like our Cher and Linda Ronstadt,

      or maybe even Dolly or Emmylou Harris. or Gloria Estefan…….

      Perez!! Fire your fucking web designer. This web page looks like a fucking hampster cage!! You can't even find anything for all the fucking bullshit going on. It's a big mess. Otherwise, love you!

      122

      why are you so freakin' jealous of Kelly Clarkson?
      You are pathetic! Leave her the hell alone.
      She is far less enthralled with fame than you are and she has all of the talent.
      You have the internet skill.
      Feel free to hype all the gay pop icons you wish.
      Emmy Rossum will long be gone after doing your 1st annual show and you will be kissing Kelly's talented, former American Idol (I hate it) ASS!!!!!, begging her to perform at your has been affair.
      Beware your bitter tirades!

      123

      I know why….. because a lot of Kanye's fans get the freebie downloads….. and they copy each other's cd's, etc. Her fans range to folks in their 60's… and they don't download…. they go to walmart and purchase it

      129

      Personally I think you should lay off of Kelly and let her regroup. And, although I'm not a fan of Reba on a personal level I have to hand it to her when it comes to song interpretation, she is up there among the best.

      141

      Come on dude..enough with the Kelly Clarkson bashing. The girl stands up for what she believes in, her amazing talent for both singing and songwriting is what got her on this Reba record..and aided Reba in getting to number 1 this week.

      Re: Rash Manly – You said it, Rash, Reba is for real.
      Rap is dead.
      Disco is dead.
      I'd love to hear a duet with John Lydon & Reba.

      Seems like everything Reba touches these days turns to pure gold. She's obviously an incredibly smart — and classy - business woman. The diva rocks!

      congrats to reba but stupid comment about kelly. it's partially BECAUSE of kelly that she got to #1.

      With Reba's husband now managing Kelly's career, Kelly will have an number 1 soon.

      Re: Dumb – you dumb fuck….you think country music lame ass hoe? huh? Reba is a fucking legend you moron…she sold 60 million albums even before JT can sing and has 72 awards and this aint from tweens that don't know shit so shut the fuck up….and as for you perez…don't ever and i mean ever put Kelly down..i swear in my life she'll blow-up with this album..i swear to god and hope to die…YOU'LL SEE PEREZ!!

    54. JJ says – reply to this


      154

      Okay ppl… Justin and Kelly are okay, but Reba does not need them to sell records, look at her credentials… She is a real singer and has been singing since before both Justin and Kelly was born, before all of the "computerized" crap you have today making people like Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears into singers. These days anyone can become a singer with the help of a computer and backrounds….Something Reba did not have and does not need. It's call a soulful REAL VOICE.

      155

      Reba rocks, I have met her several times and she is the nicest person ever. I was at the Oprah show with her and Justin and Kelly…….it was fanstastic!!!!

      156

      Oh you people shut the hell up, Kanye's cd came out 3 weeks ago, did you really expect for it to be number 1 for like a million weeks? Shut the fuck up you ignorant sons of bitches. In his first week, he sold a million worldwide and he didnt even go on OPRAH, so you ignorant asswipes need to calm down.

      How can some of you sit there and say shit about Reba McEntire like that ? .. she obviously wouldn't be singing and have such a sucessfull career if she didn't have any talent. She didn't need to sing with these people to make a sucessfull record , she could of pulled that off by herself. She's had how many records, numerous # hits and has dozens of awards ( that,she pulled off by herelf). You people who talk shit like this really piss me off. Maybe instead of coming on here and talking shit about a person that millions of people admire go out and get yourself a life. While your at it listen to the music and lyrics of this AMAZINg women and you'll see why so many people admire her.

      Your comments about Kelly Clarkson being close to #1 are not needed. Her "My December" is fabulous. I actually feel horrible for you. You are fat and on tv. You are probably the nastiest person, next to George Bush.
