Kelly Clarkson Says Breakup Songs ‘Scare Men Off’

“A lot of times, if I’m writing it … a lot of people think that’s about a guy; it’s not actually about that. It’s more about my work environment,” Clarkson said. “I write ‘metaphorically speaking’ a lot. Sometimes it’s not always about a guy; I just end up writing it more that way because it’s better for mainstream radio. I actually haven’t dated in a while, so there’s no breakup song for me on there.”

‘Glee’s’ Damian McGinty: Santana’s ‘Not Rory’s Biggest Fan’

The Hollywood Reporter: How much did The Glee Project prepare you for the realities of Glee?
Damian McGinty: The Glee Project for sure was in many ways the perfect preparation for being on Glee. No. 1, the orders on The Glee Project were similar to the orders on Glee. There were times on The Glee Project where we were shooting for 20 hours a day and it’s the same on Glee where some days are incredibly long. In that respect, it really prepared you for that and the workload you’re going to get, all the different dance routines and singing in the recording studio. It’s those aspects are very similar. But Glee is most definitely a completely different experience than The Glee Project. Glee isn’t a competitive environment so it’s much more enjoyable than The Glee Project. On The Glee Project, there was a lot of pressure and a lot of ragging on your performance whereas with this you can really enjoy yourself and give your absolute 110 percent best.
