Wow! Kelly Fires Her Guitarist On Stage!

Filed under: Kelly Clarkson

This video JUST surfaced! Years later!

This is one of the most amazing things we've ever seen her do!

During her Breakaway tour back in 2005, a guitarist on Kelly Clarkson's tour named Dwayne had his ass handed back to him by Miz Clarkson herself, in front of a packed house!

Though we haven't a clue what exactly it is he did, we do know that it pissed her off so much that she fired him, on-stage, mid-song, and she didn't even miss a beat!

Watch above as she fires him in the first minute or so of the video and then move ahead to the speech she gives her fans about the incident (at the 2:45 mark), which is just PRICELESS!

Incredible!

      She was obviously pissed about him moving around the stage so much. She believed he was taking the attention away from her, who the fans had come to see. In her mind, the fans don't want to see him, he should blend into the background, it is all about HER. Bleh, she needs an attitude adjustment



    2. 2

      start investigating i gotta know



    3. 3

      Seriously dumb. That was such a waste of my time.



    4. 4

    6. 6

      1st!



    7. 7

      I was at that concert! I remember her doing that. I was only like ten, so I don't remember it that well, but I think he might have flipped someone off and thats why she was so angry. Go Kelly!



    8. 8

    9. 9

      OMG HARSH



    10. 10

    11. 11

      Um, why is she speaking like she spent her entire life in Harlem?



    12. 12

      hard to hear what she is saying..couldn't tell what all happened…



    13. 13

      Well this is old, so who really cares?



    14. 14

      that was awesome



    15. 15

      Nice. Still not sure what he was doing, but haha. Gotta love something that takes 4 years to actually come out. Was that timed or something???



    16. 16

      Yea why are we talking about somthing so old. was this video just released?



    17. 17

      I wonder what happened!



    18. 18

      that's just amazing…i would love to know what he did! but what we saw is not ok. trying to steal the show from Kelly. "no no no no"



    19. 19

      lol that was awesome



    20. 20

      KELLY'S CAREER IS IN THE DUMPS NOW. KARMA IS A BIOTCH!! SHE ALWAYS HAD ONE OF THE WORST BAND COMPILATIONS EVER. BUNCH OF TEENAGERS AND SHE WAS NO DIFFERENT HERSELF. DIDNT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH WHAT HE DID. SHIT, TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE ROCK BANDS THEY WAY MORE WILD AND THIS KELLY CRAP IS TAME. LMAO. FAT BITCH NEEDS TO GET OVER HERSELF. SMFH.



    21. 21

      Kelly can sing but she has NO musical ability and especially in the beginning she relied SOLELY on the top-notch musicians behind her on stage to keep her show running. She hasn't learned much in that department and can't keep up a tour or work and play well with others. She is fucking unprofessional (as witnessed above) and treats the amazing players she is lucky enough to have behind her like errant dogs. She should learn some class. Although Clive schooled her a bit. She's still a nasty little piece of work.

      22

      LMAO I don't know what he did but dang man!!

    23. mw says – reply to this

    25. 25

      haha i love it! she really didnt miss a beat. amazeballs



    26. 26

    28. 28

      wow



    29. 29

      weird… that's all i can say…



    30. 30

      that was dumb. But I love Kelly.



    31. 31

      why dont i ever see comments?



    32. 32

      While it was priceless to see Miz Clarkson bodycheck a guy, is this really reporting? Four year old news is stale even by your standards Perez.



    33. 33

      What'd he do though? Did he flip off the audience or something?



    34. 34

      What a dumbass.



    35. 35

      wowie - dont mess with her! i especially love 'im gonna pray for you, your gonna need it when i get off this stage'



    36. 36

      Uuumm…helloooo?! Do ANY of your videos actually work?!?!



    37. 37

      such a badass



    38. 38

      why is she trying to sound so hardass??? its hilariously awkward



    39. 39

      wow….. why did she fire him in front of everyone?



    40. 40

      Drama queen American Idol nobody



    41. 41

      what the hell did he do?



    42. 42

      hahahaahah years later! I love her!



    43. 43

      wow… kind of rude… but what did he do to ruin her show?



    44. 44

      Gosh, aren't we finished with that American Idol crap? Let's make 2010 Idol free and bring that empire down!



    45. 45

      hey, this is actually the video that i took…as an fyi…it took place in Portland, OR in 2005 just before the end of the Breakaway tour…



    46. 46

      That was hilarious!! She got him bad!



    47. 47

      Thats prety fucked up ./ A real bitch , kinda makes u glad no one hears from her now .



    48. 48

      She asked him if those jeans made her ass look fat and he said " No, yer ass makes yer ass look fat!"



    49. 49

      I want to know what he did!!



    50. 50

      WTF did I miss? What did he do?



    51. 51

      naughty naughty !!!



    52. 52

      WOW Brianne steals a video or gets it given to her and she takes all the credit WOW what a piece of work that fat cow is, such a stalker too get a life, get a job, get some friends oh wait no, you are too crazy no one likes you



    53. 53

      hhahaha! that was funny!



    54. 54

      wtf did he even do? :S
      @Doomed: LMFFFAAOOO! BAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA! LMFFFAAOOO! OMG! LMFFAAOOO!



    55. 55

      He must've done something pretty bad to get fired right there. Wouldn't doubt if he had gotten in trouble before and been warned.
      Good… get rid of the douche.



    56. 56

      Re: Elilan – and how do you know this?



    57. 57

      LOL!!! the end kills me. She definitely doesn't sound like a Texan…. Hallelujah!



    58. 58

      She wasn't mad about him trying to steal the show. Ever been to one of her shows? She doesn't care what goes on around her really. What she does care for is her fans. Apparently, the guy was messing around with some of the fans. That caused her to flip. She's very grateful for them and that's seen in her meet and greets.
      And her career isn't in the dumps. Her latest album was the number 10 selling female album world wide for 2009.



    59. 59

      Wow! I wonder what he did?!?! If it was a matter of disrespect to the fans, then she did the right thing. I love that she takes care of her fans.



    60. 60

      Re: TampopoLoco – she's from Texas an has a accent idiot



    61. 61

      Dwayne had been mocking the crowd and he started flipping everyone off and Kelly saw him, then fired him.

      I love her!



    62. 62

      Re: Trancelike

      Yes it is, but Breakaway isn't her biggest hit. BOY, BTHE, SUBG, and MLWSWY are bigger hits than Breakaway.



    63. 63

      Re: Elilan – WTF? Kelly has had the same band for 4 years. She ALWAYS tells everyone (on tour and off) how amazing they are. SO please make sure you get your facts right before posting shit!

      Re: xcalibur – Your definition of "in the dumps" is at best out of ignorance and at worst a lie. The 2009 album All I Ever Wanted debuted at #1 and has sold over 800,000 copies. It produced 3 top 20 singles including one that jumped from #97 to #1, at the time a record breaking achievement. She is nominated for a 2010 Grammy. Life is tough "in the dumps".
      BTW, I have never bought an album by Kelly or any other American Idol, just not my taste, but I hate false, ignorant statements.



    65. 65

      He obviously did something to really piss her off that we can't se in the video. She's known for being one of the nicest and most professional in the business so I'm sure it was justified. Good for her for sticking up for her fans. Love her.

    66. LDD says – reply to this


      66

      WOW, that was SO NOT amazing….
      I was expecting her to say GET OFF MY STAGE…

      lamee…



    67. 67

      this bitch has to grow the fuck up…how come she acted like some kind of a teenage girl??

    68. ap076 says – reply to this


      68

      If he "disrespected" her fans in any way or for that matter even her, she had the right to fire him. When you get fired from a job it happens at work not at home so she was within her bounds to do it there.
      Kelly has developed a professional and personal relationship with the great Reba McEntire (who with her husband runs a pretty tight ship in terms of band, singers, dancers, etc) so she surely has matured past the point of firing someone on stage, but I am left wondering what some would be saying if a male solo artist fired a band member on stage?



    69. 69

      I was at this show and I do not recall that! Weird!! haha



    70. 70

      i didnt hear her fire him
      so confused :S



    71. 71

      haha go Kelly!



    72. 72

      Pretty funny, but at the same time pretty stupid. A bit unprofessional to say the least. Funny how it surfaces 4 years later when conveniently she seems to be at the top of her game.

      Love how someone is claiming the vid as their own…. stalker anyone?

      SGR x



    73. 73

      jeez whats her fucking problem. if she didnt notice thats what fucking guitarists do. tey cant stand in one place doing the song. they have to move around.
      just dont get so fucking jelous when he tries to act his part.
      and lmao what the hell was with the speech? that was funny. pretending to care about the fans. she doesnt give a fucking shit. he didnt do anything to the fans. thats why. if he flipped them off or something then yah but what the hell?



    74. 74

      oh and i just lost all respect for her.



    75. 75

      Re: AlixxP – it wasn't about him moving around, he was being rude to some of her fans and that's what pissed her off.



    76. 76

      Re: AlixxP – Do you honestly think he got fired because he moved around? Have you ever seen Kelly clarkson live? They always move around. And anyway why would she fire him for moving around? And if that was true why would she talk about him being rude to the fans? Gee just think for a minute before you post! He obviously did something offensive towards the fans, and I think that's a good reason to fire someone!



    77. 77

      If I read one more statement that says Kelly fired him because he was running around I will scream! She fired him because he was mocking the crowd throughout the show and then started flipping everyone off.



    78. 78

      if i had any respect for kelly clarkson, i just lost it. that was so stupid what she just did to him. no one even knew what was going on; her fans were just screaming cuz its a concert. they could care less and didn't even notice what he did. to me, it just says that she's unprofessional and too low-class to handle the big time.



    79. 79

      Kelly is THE SHIT!!! LOVE YOU GIRL!!!



    80. 80

      lol handle your business biotch ! lol i wonder what exactly he did.



    81. 81

      He must've eaten her twinkies backstage. With Dwayne gone she was free to eat all the twinkies herself which is why she is as big as a house now, lol.



    82. 82

      What a bitch. She got big headed with Breakaway and thought she could act all Diva. Maybe her guitarist got fed up with Kelly's fake rock act and said F this.
      He knew better and now is laughing at her failing career.



    83. 83

      Re: Blogger – We can't see what he was doing or know his history with her band. He's getting paid to be her guitarist, if he is flipping of the crowd or something then that is unprofessional of him and he deserved what he got. How is firing someone low class? You say no one knew what was going on yet you weren't even there, and clearly Kelly saw that he was doing something.



    84. 84

      quit with all the jesus shit



    85. 85

      What The Fuck Is Her Problem?!
      He Was Doing A Nice Job!
      Don't Get Me Wrong I Like Kelly A Lot
      She Have A Pretty Good Voice And Stuff
      But There's Some Other Ways To Deal
      With That Kind Of Situation.
      That Was So Unprofessional!



    86. 86

      It is possible that she has matured a little since then, considering her star has lost some of it's lustre, perhaps she realizes she ain't the center of the universe, and if she has not she is one dumb bitch, whose music is only ok

      87

      Uh, hello haters! Since when has Kelly Clarkson's career been 'falling'? I know Perez says that her 'My December' album sucked, but I disagree. I love her music, she's the best thing Idol produced thus far. There's a lot of people who are talking crap that don't know their right from left anyway. Tell em, Kelly!



    88. 88

      Wow some of your people are ignorant bitchs and have no idea what a class act, down to earth human being Kelly Clarkson is if you go around saying she was immature, needs an attitude adjustment and shit like that. If you made Kelly possibly the most nicest person on the planet do what she did you must have really pissed her off, she very rarely gets pissed like that. She's the boss and if one of her band memebers did the stuff that Dwayne did she has every right to fire his ass, even if it was during a show. But seriously why bring this video up Perez four years later, who cares and no doubt Kelly would too. Too the idiot who said Kelly got big headed after the success of Breakaway, your wrong my friend. Kelly has never got big headed from all of her success during her seven year career. She's a great person to look up to. We need more celebs like KC and she could give crap about being a star, she just wants to sing, write, and go on tour. Andreianc13 let me just laugh at your bs, makes no sense comment. To Whatthefuck her career his not failing. Kelly is far from being a bitch. To Blogger what a-hole you are, losing respect for because of that how shallow are you jackass. Kelly is by far one of the most proffesional people in the bussiness.

    90. 90

      LOOK AT HER NOW, LOL. SHE COULDN'T MANAGE HER POWER AND IT WAS TAKEN FROM HER. SHE NOW WORKS AT KFC AND IS PAID IN BUCKETS OF FRIED CHICKEN.



    91. 91

      Re: kelly_fan – I stand corrected.Thx.



    92. 92

      oh my goodness…most of y'all on here need attitude adjustments. You obviously don't know anything about Kelly and feel more powerful sitting behind a computer screen, talking sh*t. The guitar player was being extremely rude to her fans, she saw it, and gave him the boot. I, for one, RESPECT an artist who will STICK UP for their fans. Better than not giving a crap. Most of you on here are sad sad people. Probably all jealousy, seeing as Kelly has more power, fame and money RIGHT NOW than any of you will EVER have in a lifetime.



    93. 93

      Awww I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kelly =)

      Re: LusciousLiz – That is not a Texas accent. It is pure wigger.

      -
      Well Kelly, seeing as you are little more than an AI whore who doesn't work for the union, you certainly don't have the authority to fire ANYONE
      -
      Old Duane is obviously a studio musician and will never be out of work as he has true talent and is not a flash in the pan who has a decent voice but sings awful songs poorly.
      -
      How did your last album do? When was the last time anyone over 11 yrs old went to one of your shows? When are you going to stop making excuses for being such a fat nobody?
      -



    96. 96

      OMFG. What a bitch.



    97. 97

      Re: kelly_fan – Oh really? Did YOU work for her or are you just a little fan? Well, I did. Get your FACTS straight. There are legions of industry professionals who can tell stories about her ENORMOUS undeserved ego. Winning a singing contest doesn't put you in a position to boss around fucking anybody who has earned their chops the good old fashioned way - HARD WORK. Music degrees - years of seasoned touring — DECADES in the music industry and proven track records breaking artists, management, agents — GRAMMY Award-winning songwriters — producers - engineers - these are the pros who stand behind her. You see very little from your vantage point in terms of HOW exactly she treats people. Graceless. Tactless. You've NEVER heard a glowing report from any industry peer on what a delight she is to work for — what a pro, etc., Guess why? She's NOT.

      Oh my dear lord God… I pray to get through this clip. Because Jesus knows the good clips from the bad ones. Jesus won't let us watch a bad one… Dear Lord God we gotta breakaway from the evil.

      Thank you Lord.. God.. Jesus.



    99. 99

      Would we be having this conversation if Tim McGraw did this? Probably not…



    100. 100

      Wow, that was freaking awesome. Go Kelly. I would LOVE to know what caused this.. Perez, can you contact her and find out?? :)

      P.S. This did NOT happen at the Portland, OR show, because I was there and I would've remembered this considering I was front row. She had a great night that night. And so amazing live back then…
