Kelly Clarkson has made enough of a career for herself - her last album sold 11m worldwide - that she no longer needs the prefix “American Idol winner”. This has given her the authority to dictate the shape of her third album, and she has opted for rock. That’s not rock as in “ROCK”, obviously, but the wipe-clean kind that begs your pardon for making noise.
Paradoxically, Clarkson has been hailing the “intimacy” of the self-composed songs, which were written during an introspective period that followed her winning no fewer than 21 music awards in 2005/06. She writes in bland generalities, though, rarely equalling the directness of the opening Never Again (”I hope the ring you gave her turns her finger green/I hope when you’re in bed with her you think of me”), and uses her opulent voice as a battering ram. The spooky ballroom-waltz of Irvine just about saves things, and hints at what could have been. [Source]

Here are some snippets of Kelly Clarkson’s interview from Entertainment Weekly’s cover story in this week’s issue. Her answers are quite telling:

You look pretty normal to me right now, but people often comment on your weight. Does that bother you? You’re just like, Oh, well, that sucks. But at the end of the day, it doesn’t suck that much or else I’d do something about it. I work out when I want to work out; I don’t work out when I don’t want to work out. After a long day and I’m tired, yeah, a cookie helps. It makes me feel good. It’s soul food! There’s a reason why it’s called that. I drop, like, 15 pounds when I’m on tour.

Why exactly are they so resistant to you writing? It’s because I’m a woman — because I’m a young woman. I literally heard someone say it [during a conference call]. They didn’t know I was on the phone. Like, really? We’re living in what century? I hung up. I was like, I can’t even address that. ‘Cause that was the most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard.
