    And this is part of why Kelly is the best Idol winner. Can’t wait.

    I did not watch season 1 of American Idol only read about how Kellie rebelled after the show. Personally don’t know her but seems Kellie takes no crap . I thought her risk of doing “December ” cd was a good one because she went a different route eventhough Kellie was slammed for it by the lable. Kellie is more than just a “pop” singer this was proven when she sang for the Pope quite a difficult song flawlessly.

    So, will this CD be sold in the disco/techno aisle? Well, I’ll buy it anyway because I like Kelly, but I probably won’t be listening to it (except for ad nauseum on the radio because if TPTB are paying for that much photoshopping, they will definitely be investing in radio.)

    Kelly! She’s awesome. I want a Kelly/David Cook duet. Please! Their voices would blend beautifully. Thanks MJ for the blog post.

    Kelly’s such a dork. :lol_wp: I can’t wait for the original Idol to show em how it’s done! 2009 is going to be her year. :jittery_tb:

    Kelly truly amuses me. Couple that with her awesome set of pipes and the fact that she’s from around these parts and heck, she could be my favorite Idol winner ever.
