Workout Song of the Week: ‘Since You Been Gahan (Kelly Clarkson x Depeche Mode)’ by DJ Earworm
I am continuing my obsession with DJ Earworm by adding some more (if not all) of his mashups on to my iPod shuffle for my daily workout repertoire. Last week it was his uber-mix of “boomin’” 2011 pop hits. This week it is the ’90s club savvy mashup of the good ol’ pop rockin’ “Since...
Kelly Clarkson flashes her mob in the new ‘Stronger’ video
In Kelly Clarkson‘s new music video for the title track of her newest album, Stronger, she sticks to her guns with throbbing guitar riffs, contained performances with her nameless rock band, windblown close-ups of her face hidden by strands of hair, and tight shots of her trademark Since-You-Been-Gone pop rock wails. For an extra special...
Kelly Clarkson revisits her big band roots with Mr. Know it All
Sunday night on the American Music Awards, Kelly Clarkson DID NOT lip sync, but actually sang her latest pop-gruntled anthem “Mr. Know it All” — with a big band twist! The social mediasphere blew up with OMGs and praise (with the occasional, pompous “I DID NOT LIKE THE ARRANGEMENT” comments — and as an avid...
Workout song of the week: Anything from “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson
It is no question that I have an obsession with Kelly Clarkson — and now that her new album is out and I FINALLY purchased it in CD form (yes, I am one of the 20 people in the world that still purchases CDs) I cannot stop listening to it. All of Kelly’s songs do...
Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake’s final installment of The History of Rap
In an effort to tie the loose end on what Justin Timberlake referred to as their “trilogy” of the History of Rap, J.T. and hand-hugging BFF Jimmy Fallon gave one helluva medley of hip hop songs (OH SNAP! De La Soul‘s “Me Myself and I”!) on Friday’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon: Timberlake was on...
Workout Song of the Week: I Do Not Hook Up by Kelly Clarkson
Recently, during a night of karaoke, I started to sing a rousing rendition of Kelly Clarkson‘s “I Do Not Hook Up”. I thought I would get a standing ovation, but NO ONE in the room knew what I was singing. They just recognized the sugary aggressive pop-rock stylings of K.C. Apparently, they weren’t diehard K.C....
Workout Song of the Week: “Mr. Know it All” by Kelly Clarkson
Last week I asked if I should make “Mr. Know it All” a Workout Song of the Week. Based on this post, I answered my own question. It’s no secret that I am wildly anticipating Kelly Clarkson‘s album, “Stronger”. That said, I will spare no expense in stuffing her latest single down your throat —...
Kelly Clarkson’s “Mr. Know it All” Technically Difficult Livestream Premiere
I am pretty much one of those Kelly Clarkson fans that will like anything she does. I was one of the few that actually enjoyed the poppy darkness of “My December” and I can scream the fuck out of “Since U Been Gone” and “Miss Independent” at karaoke. Yesterday, I heard she was going to...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Miss Independent’ by Kelly Clarkson
Any pop rock song by the O.G. American Idol, Kelly Clarkson gets my adrenaline going, but this week I am pulling out her first single, “Miss Independent” out of the archives to help me get through my morning workouts — and here’s a fun fact about KC’s “you-go-girl!” anthem: it was co-written by Christina Aguilera...
It’s ‘Stuff’ Like This That Makes ‘American Idol’ Relevant
Now that we have survived the five hour marathon of Idol Gives Back can we please just announce Crystal Bowersox as the winner?. PLEEEEAAASE? As much as each new season pains me, I still have high hopes for the show. How could I ignore the reality show competition that has given us star-making performances? Season...
A soon-to-be Kelly Clarkson internet sensation
…or maybe it already is. Check it out: Usually I would hate on someone for covering a Janet Jackson song, but she actually made “If” work. And yes, I am going to touch on the elephant in the room: Kelly Clarkson’s body. I think she’s been criticized for her size, but damn – if the...
‘Hooking Up’ with Kelly Clarkson
Actually, according to her pop rock bangin’ new single, she doesn’t hook up: Ever since hearing this for the first time, I can’t stop jumping in place without rhythm and pumping my fist in the air. The song was written by same-sex kisser Katy Perry, but, true to “Since U Been Gone” form, Kelly works...
