Kelly Clarkson: I can't listen to my old stuff, the autotune 'kills me'You may be a fan of Kelly Clarkson's older hits, like "Since U Been Gone" and "Miss Independent," but the 30-year-old singer herself would rather tune out. "Sometimes, I can't listen to really old school songs ... because they just use so much autotune when it's not needed that it kills me. I can't listen to it," Clarkson told CNN. "What I love about that though is on songs like 'Miss Independent,' not only was it autotune, I just sounded different, I sounded so young."
But considering it's still a favorite of hers as well as her fans, Clarkson included a live version of "Miss Independent" on her first greatest hits collection, "Greatest Hits: Chapter One," which is due out on November 19. And while the record does include some of the break-up songs that made her an even bigger name in music after she won "American Idol" 10 years ago, Clarkson these days is in a happier place. The Texan professed her love for boyfriend Brandon Blackstock over the summer, and she explained how her relationship has impacted her music. "'Don't Rush,' that is on the U.S. album, and I would have totally not picked that song before because I would have been, 'that's cheese.' Now that I'm living cheese and I'm in love, I totally love it." But for those who crave Clarkson's singing about love's darker sides, she jokes, "I'm sure Brandon is going to piss me off at some point."

Put on your best dress baby
And darlin', fix your hair up right
Cause there's a party, honey
Way down beneath the neon lights
All day you've been working that hard line
Now tonight you're gonna have a good time
I work five days a week girl
Loading crates down on the dock
I take my hard earned money
And meet my girl down on the block
And Monday when the foreman calls time
I've already got Friday on my mind
When that whistle blows
Girl, I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes
When I'm out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
When I'm out in the street
When I'm out in the street
When I'm out in the street, girl
Well, I never feel alone
When I'm out in the street, girl
In the crowd I feel at home
The black and whites they cruise by
And they watch us from the corner of their eye
But there ain't no doubt girl, down here
We ain't gonna take what they're handing out
When I'm out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
Baby, out in the street I don't feel sad or blue
Baby, out in the street I'll be waiting for you
When the whistle blows
Girl, I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes
When I'm out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
When I'm out in the street
Pretty girls, they're all passing by
When I'm out in the street
From the corner, we give them the eye
Baby, out in the street I just feel all right
Meet me out in the street, little girl, tonight
THE MORE I CUT AND PASTE...

kelly clarkson is a drip and deadwood. she's sloppy for a young woman. simon told her 1,000 time clean up.
the voice is fine..the look is lousy. that is what is going to ruin things for her...she looks like an idiot.
she has to watch her weight she has very large hips and simon will tell her right to her face that she's a lardo.
Exactly what is wrong with today's music. If you judge singers by how they look you are not a music fan. Remember Janis Joplin, Mama Cass Elliott...

breathing and lung power is amazing....carrie is a softer singer it could work however changes need to be made.

Anyone with a good ear for music can't listen to any of your dribble, new or old!
While I would not call myself an aficianado, Kelly Clarkson is one of my favorite voalists. I enjoy a wide variety of music, including county, classical, rock, r&b and pop. She has a style unto her own which I really enjoy more than any other vocalist. To say that "Anyone with a good ear for music can't listen to any of your dribble" only belittle's youself as being close minded. While I do not enjoy rap of any flavor, I wouldn't disparage any rap artist just because I don't like them, that's just me. Others do like them. Like all art, you will admire something that someone else hates, and vise versa.
Stop the hate!
greg, I simply do NOT enjoy her music. I listen to a full spectrum of music too. Heck, here I am twenty years after my high school years and I'm listening to genres of music I never would've dreamed of back in 1992 or didn't even exist yet. There are some artists/musicians that you will not like even if the politically correctness in you says we must love every musician that gets spewed out from the musician industry.
Now as an example, I enjoy Elton John, more so 70's and very early 80's but when, "Benny and the Jet's" comes on the radio I just cringe until it's over.
Love Kelly with all your heart but know that by proclaiming to "Stop the hate" only makes you look like a numb-fingered fan boy that probably voted for her via telephone back a decade ago and not such a professed music toned ear.
i lover her music its one of a kind don't you think?
One of a kind, just like your english.
have you ever seen jiggaboo's english, or that white guy who thinks he's a rapper.....what about that racist on nikki
she doesn't write well either...you know the one who's playing da race card?
haaaaaaaaaaa
Have a good day troll.
Reblogged this on Thoughts Aspew and commented:
I realize this is adding to the haterade, but I never did think much of Kelly Clarkson's musical catalog. Frankly nobody from American Idol is really that good on their own.
What about Daughtry or Carrie Underwood?????
So Kelly Clarkson is too good for autotune, but in the next breath she waxes poetic about "choosing songs" for her album, rather than writing or composing them. Whatever.
Uh...yea? Choosing songs for her "Greatest Hits" album?
Did you not read it? Or simply fail to comprehend it?
when she startS bash 5 more times.
awwww, whats wrong? The songs that other people wrote for you arent good enough now? That picture almost made me think I was looking at that other idiot, Axl Rose for a second
autotune is a REQUIREMENT for rappers and pop.
It's a requirement because they do not have the talent to sing without it.
what the heck is autotune? I'm guessing they use a computer to make her sound as if she can sing? Kind a like those new groups you see on SNL and wonder where all the music is coming from since there are none or just a few people on stage with instruments and you know the vocalist is probably just lips synching. American Idol has nothing to do with music and has done much to harm music. There are better vocalists living within 10 miles of your home who are better than anyone who has ever been on idol. Pathetic...
It's OK Kelly. Most of America cannot stand to listen to ANY of your stuff old or new.
LOL – exactly!
I saw her on this past tour, because it was a date. She doesn't have any songs I care to listen to but she did put on a good show, and she can actually sing, even if I find the lyrics a bit shallow (I'm a Cure fan–she's never going to have anything on them in the miserable relationship department). My only issue with her is she needs to stop wearing other artist's t-shirts on stage and be herself. When I saw her she was wearing a Def Leppard t-shirt, had nothing to do with her sound or image. Here she's wearing a Jackson 5 shirt, same thing.
is a great guitar player however she sings songs that she cannot hit the high notes with. she tends to struggle at times.
not sure why she cannot just bring her voice down an octive. i saw cheryl along with stevie nicks at jones beach.
and her octave sound is perfect...she does not have the proper exposure plus her look is sloppy. simon i believe told her to perk up a couple of times.
Proper Octave?... Take it down an octive (octave, btw). There are too many people on here, who obviously know nothing about singing, making comments for reasons that I don't understand? Seriously, all you wanna be's passing judgement...get a singing career and then come back and post comments.
Yeah I can't listen to her [old] stuff either.
Autotune: Helping mediocre talents pander hit recordings to undiscerning listeners since 1998!
Autotune adjusts a singers off-key singing so it comes out of the speaker on-key, but it also takes away the raspy and gutteral sounds that add personality and feeling to singing. Clarkson, Levine, Aguilara, Nora Jones, Sheryl Crow, and a few others are capable of really putting feeling into their songs like Patsy Cline, Peggy Lee, Roberta Flack, and others of past generations did. But when I hear things like Colbie Caillat (who's singing I like) hitting EVERY note perfectly (she NEVER misses) it makes me wonder if she's using autotune and removing some of the feeling from Bubbly, etc. Other singers who seem to have limited ranges and and sing songs that don't even span an octave come across as so plain vanilla.
I like her voice a lot, especially on the more rock than pop songs.
U HAVE SHOWN ME NUTTN!!!!! XAN U COOK???
your too focused on hurting me..so why bother to impress.
Like I said. She would be better off doing more singles, instead of soely concentrating on producing albums.
She needs more exposure...her voice can make a room shake, pitch, hits every single note perfectly.
She needs more press.
🙂
granny gown right? BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA
LETS BRING THE LAPTOP TONIGHT BAAAAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAAA AJ?
baaaaaaawaaaaaaa–
It doesn't kill her, It makes her stronger.
I can't listen to her old stuff too. And I can't listen to her new stuff either.
Must be national troll week
Who cares if she is healthy? My daddy always said that big girls are good, because you get heat during the winter, and shade during the summer. (just a joke) But anyway, she is alright. She needs to come out with more singles. I t hink she needs to have a duet with Kip More. The song would be called.... Stronger Than a Truck. Lol.
Cause it sucks, like all her music.
Exactly
I agree. She has a little talent but not one iota of anything special. Her old music bores me to tears AND the autotune makes me ill. As for her newer stuff – she has newer stuff? I started to ignore her almost immediately.
Enough of these cookie cutter musicans who have no idea what it takes to make it.
Hi – this is Kelly Clarkson
Knock it off!!!!!!
Anyone who uses it more than a repair tool is killing music overall. If you need one of those devices, you just suck so get over it.
Attention all studio engineers, remove these devices and save yourself some dignity by not dealing with these hack future-less "musicians"
Sorry, but I doubt they can hear you over the sound of all that money they're making.
Auto-tune was invented for Madonna. She could NEVER keep on pitch. She is the poster child for sleeping your way to the top.
never been a fan...i think her voice is average at best, don't understand why she still has a career.
Her voice is as flat as her chest. I should have won.
You cray.
I like Kelly Clarkson because she doesn't ever wear underwear. I think about it whenever I hear one of her songs, and it just puts me in the mood.
I heard Kelly Clarkson singing years ago at a practice run for the Grammys. She is the real deal. Her voice is AMAZING live. For the record, she was testing the sound system singing a cappella. Say what you will, she is very talented. I write music and I would have her sing one of my songs in a heartbeat....
The assinine comments here are a sad reflection on both the American Education system & the moral decline of our country. Hide behind your keyboards & whine away, little losers.
We can't stand to listen to ANY of your music Kelly!
I love Soda Pop Curtis!
Aww, auto-tune bothersome? She's a legend in her own mind. There is nothing special about anything she has done.
That makes 2 of us! I think her voice is OK but nothing compared to the great female artists in country and rock. She seems to be only able to survive by singing duets. On her own, I just don't feel it.
I.............love.............Kelly..............Clarkson.
Who's High Pitch?
819! 819!
8 1 9 !
Jasmine? Jasmine? Where ARE you?
R O B I N !
She needs to let me write a song for her then she'll be able to do whatever she wants with Music.
Im already gone!
proceed.
Strangely, i didn´t liked that much of the first album.
But i loved Breakaway.
But here recent albuns... i hated them.
I have 2 originals from here: Tankful (my wife likes one of the songs) and a special edition of Breakaway.
I passed all the others.
Breakaways is, by a very far, her best album. The ones she is making now are like crap music.

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the
Lord forever.

NOT GOING ANYWHERE....WE LOVE YOU BOO .
you have a good day.
there is no acting today. we need to get your names to help other and the most important children need understand that there are good people in the world not this garbage. your slopping so it's been easy for us.
as soon as i receive those magical names....we will have all of this unhooked and out, we can't have people surrounded by this negativity. this is in poor taste especially when abusing innocent people. this however will end–if i have to report to
abc-tv i will.
correction - your sloppy and its been easy for us. remember your a nothing and i am something.
your a nothing and i am something.. your a nothing and i am something.
*you're
the good part is you do not function well and screw up all the time...we have traps all over the place but you are an abuser and abusers will be stopped and we will tell everyone who did it because this cannot happen to innocent people. I am something, you are nothing..remember that I am something you are nothing–when i confirm those name(s) we will have a meeting with the authorites and you will be unhooked from everything.
Your not in any type of power to abuse people. if you have a family you clearly do not care about then so there neither will we.
I really do not watch this crap never did...others have pointed out to me...so now...tomorrw, next month , next year...when i have the 2 names involved we will have a discussion. if its not "you" then carry on.
i will have those 2 names.
we are sure its a male and female but we do not know who they are...we will find out who is in the laptop computer.
I enjoy listening to her music. Shea better looking than most people (trolls) and I hope her career shoots high. I wish you the very best. Its not easy getting up early and working long grueling hours, day after day. You work hard for your money and you deserve every penny. Enjoy your amazing life!
mommie
we cannot trust anyone right now. they are in 3 of the 7 computers.
Songs are all corporate "Wrighters"Spew. Lots of people have a good voice and a lucky few make paper w/it but only lucky few in this world have talent and she aint one of them
I love foooood!
I like KC but why does she have a greatest hits album already?
I agree, especially these days when you can buy only the songs you want.
my peeps hate too ... but that's what makes things more exciting and intense in bed...you know what i mean?
I think KC is HOT. So what she's a little on the chunky side. Bunch of haters.
🙂
everyone feel sorry for him (t)–
I enjoy listening to her music while I poop.
no choice right now.
what choice does he have?
get off the computer
Is rim job one word or two?
Well...do I come on here and disagreed with her music or make fun of her fat she os before my friend lol attacks me? I'm not attacking a fellow blogger now, i'm I?
Anyway, she's okay. Don't care for county music. As for her weight, she is somewhat of a little moose.
This is shame considering alot of her stuff in recent years is awful.
Miss independent has too much autotune.....how ironic
Because it SUCKS, just like her NEW music...
What a bitter, envious little troll you are. So much misplaced anger in you. Feel better now that you go that off your chest?
kelly clarkson is very talented and has a great voice...i saw her at radio city ..she's one of a kind
Yes, she's one of a kind ... fortunately.
