American Idolettes To Join Forces!
Adrian Varnedoe, Pacificcoastnews
Yes, it seems that in some cases opposites really DO attract. Though I have never had any harsh feelings towards either of these two starlets, I would never have put them together when it comes to music. But it seems that the forces may come together. And this has more to do with Kelly Clarkson’s country roots than Carrie Underwoods, believe it or not. Kelly Clarkson as we all know grew up in Texas and wanted to be a star. Blah blah…Now that she’s grown up on country tunes, she is living in Nashville and wants to strengthen her country ties. Can this be so for this pop princess?
“I never know what I’m gonna do in the future, but I grew up loving country music. It’s one of the things that’s been really close to me. I did a lot of country events, so I think people were thinking I was gonna [record a country album]. But the thing I love about pop music is that you can kind of incorporate any style you want …There’s always gonna be those influences in my music, but I’ll probably never just do one thing. I would be bored out of my mind.”
Besides growing up on it, Kelly is no stranger to country. She spent most of last year touring with Reba McEntire, and would do it again with America’s country princess, Carrie Underwood. Kelly thinks Carrie’s voice is ‘kick butt’ and is a huge fan. Now this would be an interesting combination, and I will be very excited to see how it turns out, should it ever, but you know what they say in Hollywood. When people say they are ‘thinking’ about something, it’s usually in the works. Remember how Ashlee Simpson said she was ‘thinking’ about getting pregnant?
