I know, I know.

I just listened to it. Sorry, Crumpet. This is how it's done.

Leona, dear, listen to those two. Your standards are slipping.

I never said it was perfect. But I quite liked the rock-ier edge she gave the song. Seemed appropriate considering the angsty lyrics, and she carried the song well without any backup singers or fancy instrumentation.

My favorite Kelly cover is still her interpretation of Farmbot's "I Know You Won't" - just gorgeous.

Mariah was untouchedT. Kellysa should clean out her pipes with some water tbh it was just a cover nothing amazing. Still great voice just, never do a Mooriah song again, she could never ever

The piano playing was flaw free nevertheless, her voice gave it a country/rock edge to it
 
Why, yes, of course. She's not quite up to Glitter / Charmbracelet era live vocals, let alone her first six years, but better than she's sounded since around late 2005. She'd still sound better on that particular song.
I must admit these were all much better than I was expecting from post-aughts Mariah

And Kelly is welcome to keep trying with those Mariah covers (and covers of Mariah covers).
The best lamb stan in the business. When will your fave make a career out of basic, karaoke covers?

Yeah, that's one of the most overrated American Idol performances ever. I can't, I just can't with that dog yelp her stans call a whistle note XD
She gave an interview once where she said the reason she doesn't do whistle notes is because they are tacky in the hands of anyone not named Mariah Carey, and that she only did it on Idol to get votes. I'm sure.

Mariah sounded great between 2002 - 2005, started declining in 2006 (and became very noticeable by 2007), and became rather sad between 2008 - 2009. She's been sounding better since then, and that's probably the best she's sounded since around 2006 (though not as good as 2002 - 2005).

She is the best lamb stan in the business. And it felt weird dragging Kelly, since I do like her, but... priorities. Can't have a stan of someone who has made that many basic, karaoke covers of Mariah songs / covers coming for her post-prime vocals. It just wouldn't represent the natural order of things.

It's weird, because she can hit them. She also hits a G6 here (background, bit hard to hear), but that and the Natural Woman F#6 are the only two whistle notes I know of.

I'm just going to take that as not-so-stealth Aguilera shade and run with it.
 
Some Kelly stans on other forums keep going on about how great the whistle note in Honestly is

I've never been knowledgeable about what constitutes a "good" whistle versus a "bad" one. The Respect note Kelly hit sounded fine to me, but I guess I'll bend to the Kyon's expertise in this matter because Chris Brown stans must be intimately familiar with the word "disastrous".

This is for you! (Fair warning; the vocal quality in general is mediocre.)

Edit: Fair warning #2: Georgia Brown sighting near the end!
 
Her VMA performance of gimme more was flawless.

I see what you did there.

One thing all my faves have in common is a complete inability to dance.

So no shade from me about dancing. <3

But Lesbians can't dance. Just look a Belly Clarkson.


Stunning evergreen.

When you know that GAF is truly all-inclusive: when you see PAULA ABDUL STANS SHOWING FACE IN THREADS....

HONESTLY...

Those were great.

Any recent performances?

I never said I was an expert I was giving my opinion. See you coming for Chris does nothing for your fave's failed attempts

EDIT: It's good a Belly Stan knows their place and not to ever come for a Lamb because if you tried it

Kiiiii the readings I have done on twitter for Mimi is just..... It was a sermon for the masses let me put it that way. My twitter lamb fam is too damn good at dragging the lessors. It was too damn easy. Even when she is at her worst your fave fails in comparison.

When Mariah releases her album this year and eclipses Stronger that will truly be disastrous for Belly even more so than My December, remember that trainwreck? I don't think anyone did because no one bought it

I do remember it peaked at #2 but that's about it.

Has Chris Brown done ANYTHING of note? Besides... YOU KNOW, LOL.

His last album went number 1 and he won a Grammy..... His 1st single for part 2 of his last album got a top10 hit.... It's pretty early this new era I'm not sure he'll get another #1 depending on who is releasing that week

Translation in non delusional Stan talk: No. Except Look at Me Now

Article from Dec 2011 said:
NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

One day after she announced her support for Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul on Twitter, sales of pop singer Kelly Clarkson's most recent album were surging Friday on Amazon.com.

Sales of Clarkson's album Stronger shot up 442% between Thursday and Friday afternoon on Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500), moving the album from #38 to #7 on Amazon's sales list.

While there's no way to tell whether her support for Paul was the only reason for this jump, the endorsement clearly made a difference for some fans.
"I must admit I have not really followed you but your recent stance on Ron Paul made me check you out," one fan wrote Friday in a review of the album on Amazon. "If you are smart enough to support Ron Paul then you are probably talented too."

"JUST DISCOVERED YOU...BECAUSE OF RON PAUL!" another wrote. "The energy of these songs would be great as Ron Paul event background music."
On Thursday, Clarkson wrote on Twitter that if the libertarian candidate "wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he's got my vote."
"I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance," she wrote in an extended tweet.

Although she identified herself as a Republican, the former American Idol champ said she "voted Democrat last election." And this go-round, "Out of all of the Republican nominees, he's my favorite," she said.
The Paul campaign thanked Clarkson for her "kind words" in a tweet on Thursday.
News of Clarkson's Amazon sales was picked up Friday by the Hollywood Reporter. Her album sat at #39 on the Billboard album charts as of Friday afternoon, though it was up to #13 on Apple's iTunes charts.

I remember this, it's cute that she supports a racist homophobe, don't know how much that says about your fave tho.

He really Is uggo. I don't get his appeal. Anywho this flawless 1D performance.

http://youtu.be/pW83vUYqgZ8

pedestrian performance, Charisma-free stage presence, bland MOR song.

You know, people go to wars over the LITTLEST THINGS, yet nobody has ever waged a war on THE TEENAGED GIRL, who has done more obvious and long lasting damage to society than any lone terrorist could.

1D is the 9/11 of pop music.
