280,000 in one week doesnt seem that much but i suppose its good numbers to show that digital music can sell.

objectively, said song is totally formulaic but didn t make me feel like stabbing someone, which is a good thing I guess

I went to one of her concerts once (it was awesome, I was one of only non pre-tweens there) and had a great time with my friends rocking out to Kelly's music.

I guess, somehow, people figured out where her mom was sitting, and then started forming lines (in the middle of the concert no less) to get her autograph. Then security toughened up and moved Mrs. Clarkson away from the throning masses.

I remain confused as to why anyone would want her mom's autograph.

I had to double-check to make sure this wasn't an Onion article.

it sounds like "since u been gone." no wonder it's a hit.

My appreciation of Kelly went up immensely after seeing this clip of her slugging JD straight from the bottle and singing "Sweet Child o'Mine" with the parody band Metal Skool. (new window) Note some bad language.

No kidding. That title sounds like something I would've written in 5th grade, and I would've written it as a parody. And I'm not even a good songwriter.

I don't see how anybody can remotely enjoy the rehashed drivel she caterwauls.

Insipidity is the highest musical crime.

My appreciation of her went up immensely after seeing that bikini shot of her from behind. Mmmmm... sweet can...

Oh who am I kidding? I wanted to throw a fark into that well before I saw those bikini pictures.

I guess Life Sucks And Then You Die was too much of a cliche.

My appreciation went up when this song was released, the musical equivalent of Vin Diesel crawling back to the Fast and the Furious producers after a few flops.

I've seen that Dave Underground link a dozen times from different people. I've listened to it. Not that great.

Kelly Clarkson has some actual talent. I enjoy her voice and she seems like she's still a real down to earth person that just happened to become famous.

I'm not a fan of her music really, I just think she's got a good voice. That's all.

It's nice to know talentless Farkers love Kelly Clarkson.

Let's face it, SOMEBODY has to be buying that shiit.

PS "Sheeple"?

Are you, like, some new kinda stupid?

Get this shiat to Simon Cowell ASAP. If American Idol was based around the JD + impromptu covers format, I might actually watch it.

 
Herunar 2009-01-30 06:33:04 AM  
Kelly Clarkson's songs are just about the only pop songs I listen to more than once. She has a great voice, and her personality is much more tolerable than the other pop stars out there.

Jesus Christ that song is catchy. Which means it's simple and has a hook. Which means it's meant to sell ten million copies. Which means... It probably will. DAMN YOU KELLY CLARKSON!

/I have no idea why I said that, but it makes perfect sense.

Funbags: OMG WANT

I think she looks pretty hot in that middle picture. You know, like a real woman, not one of those airbrushed plastic whores you see on the internets. And the last one she just looks weird because she was caught with her mouth open. The first one is horrible, though. Bad choice of a dress for her body type.

exactly what i'm saying. it's not that i like all his songs, but he apparently knows how to write songs that are popular. he even worked with Apocalyptica on writing their best charting song. It's impressive.
