I love them both, but I am a hardcore KC fan. I’ve been to concerts from both artists, and Kelly really is the much more versatile of the two. I think Carrie is very polished, and she’s awesome too. I like Kelly because there’s really not anyone that you can compare her to. She’s such a good blend of all my favorite types of music. You could easily compare Carrie to Martina McBride or Faith Hill. I respect the fact that Kelly writes her own music. Some of it may not be loved by the masses, but she does it her way, and that can only be admired. I also love the fact that she’s not some camera whore, and keeps her relationships personal. You won’t find her on TMZ going into a restaurant with her NFL boyfriend I like a few of Carrie’s songs like “Wasted”, but think that “Jesus take the wheel” and “Last name” are pretty conflicting, not to mention cheezy. Both ladies have awesome voices. Kelly has more of a natural rock / r&b sound, while Carrie has the country twang and sings like a well trained poodle I also like the fact that Kelly isn’t afraid to eat a cookie now and then. Carrie can often look like she’s walking on two toothpicks serving as legs :-/ Hollywood Barbie Dolls are a dime a dozen, Raw talent doesn’t come by so often

I think if you asked both Kelly & Carrie, they’d want everyone to let this drop. While Kelly has sold more albums than Carrie, they really are quite different people. Different polls favorite one while other polls favor the other. Carrie has said that she has lots of respect for Kelly. The first year Kelly won, she said she wanted to sing different styles of music as she grew up loving ALL kinds of music. She is GREAT at All kinds of music. Carrie is GREAT at country. I’ve taped ALL but the last two seasons and have both girls singing different genres and country favors Carrie and all the others favor Kelly. While Carrie looks better(and she kinda knows it) Kelly definitely is popular because of her amazing pipes. Since I’m NOT (sorry country lovers) a country music lover, I prefer Clarkson’s voice because it is versatile. Her voice takes on something different with each separate genre. Anyhow, hey, I think we can all agree that they are the two best singers from AI.

I’m not going to even post here anymore. It’s not worth it. Bashing Carrie is not going to change the fact that Carrie is doing much better then Kelly. Until Carrie came in Kelly was the best, and I believe when that changed, some of the Kelly fans got mad, and now Carrie is being bashed.So yeah, I’m not going to worry about this anymore, because I know there is no way Carrie can be affected by articles and comments like this. So bash away, it will not change a thing.

Well, sales don’t lie. I even remember a poll on americanidol.com. It asked who your favorite Idol was. Carrie beat Kelly by 200 votes on that. There was another poll that said who has the best vocal range? Carrie beat Kelly on that too. So it’s not Clive’s fault that My December is declining in sales, it’s because some people don’t like her music. Like I said before, I don’t think Kelly is a bad song artist, she’s great, she’s just not as good as Carrie IMO. I don’t know why you people are so defensive of her. The Carrie bashing is not necessary. And whoever posted that last post 4 times, unnecessary. And don’t say I’m bashing Kelly, because I’m not, Kelly is still doing great, just not as great as Carrie. I think that if you don’t like Carrie, you should keep it to yourselves. This article was way over the line.

GO KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also KC does say she has the most “kick-a$$” fans around and that is truth.

Your wrong again,Carrie has only sold more than Kelly in the US alone, Kelly has sold more worldwide since Kelly is more successful worldwide than Carrie. There are some people in parts of the world who don’t who Carrie is. Almost ever country out there has heard of Kelly and it’s not because of Idol. You can blame the declining sales for My December on Kelly’s ex label boss Clive Davis who was being a complete jack-a$$. The people at RCA never gave it a chance,they never promoted like they should have, it’s her best album to date. If they gave it a chance it would probably have done well. And your crazy thinking that Kelly is nowhere near Carrie in sales. Just wait until Kelly’s fourth album comes out this fall. Hopefully with Clive gone they will promote it better and Kelly gets what she deserves RESPECT.

This link ststes that sales for My December is declining.

Also on top of that, she’s nowhere near Carrie’s sales according to this link.

Um yeah, that’s not a reliable source because the site is not there anymore. They have stated many times on American Idol that Carrie has sold more records then any previous idol winner. Even if Kelly does have more albums sold, that’s only because she was singing longer then Carrie.

Luke and whoever else:

Just wanted to clear some things up. Please don’t take this as a bash on Carrie, cause I’m a fan of hers as well, I just don’t want wrong information being spread around.

First off… Kelly does have a fan club. I’m pretty sure all major bands/singers nowadays have one. In terms of touring, Kelly went on three tours for one CD (Breakaway, Hazel Eyes, and Addicted) just a couple years ago, a tour for MD between last year and this year, and just finished the first half of a tour that she’s co-headlining with Reba.

Album sales: Luke commented that Carrie has sold more albums than Kelly will ever sell. According to Nielsen Company, which just recently put together all the data from AI, “Kelly Clarkson is the best selling American Idol contestant with album and digital download sales of 18.9 million. Carrie Underwood is second with album and digital download sales of 15.7 million.” (source: http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi- bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY= /www/story/05-22-2008/00048194 13&EDATE=)

Because I want to keep this comment fairly objective, I’m not going to comment on the rest of your comment.

There was a comment made that Carrie Underwood does not get involved with her fans and another person said Carrie should quit before Kelly takes back the Idol Crown. Grow up people, just because your favorite singer isn’t doing as well as some other people doesn’t give you the right to bash them. Carrie supports her fans as best she can. For one, she has a fan club, I don’t see Kelly with one. Carrie is always on tours and has many concerts, I haven’t heard much from Kelly. And from what I know, Carrie has sold WAY more albums then kelly will ever sell. Carrie’s first Album is 7X Platinum for gosh shakes. Carrie’s 2nd album has been out for less then half a year and already it’s at almost 3X platinum. Don’t get me wrong, Kelly is a great singer too, but in my opinion can’t do nearly as well as Carrie Underwood. If Kelly was doing better then Carrie, I wouldn’t be sitting here bitching about it and bashing another artist because of it. Kelly is not doing horribly, and you should be proud of that. She doesn’t have to be on top to be a great artist. So just calm down people. If you don’t like Carrie, that’s your business, just don’t scream it to the world. That’s it.

kellyalltheway!! I couldn’t agree more also Jordin Sparks Duet w/ Chris Brown hits the Top5 this week on the HOT 100!

Kelly Clarkson seems to be a better person, like with her fans. You never hear about Carrie Underwood being so involved in her fans. I hate to break it to you, carrie fans, but Carrie is STONE COLD. Kelly has a much more powerful voice, and her range is far greater than Carrie. I’m sorry, Carrie fans, once again. I like about one or two songs in her first album, but almost EVERY song in Breakaway I absolutely love. Kelly will always be known as the American Idol because she is the best. And Kelly Clarkson is popular around the world, and Carrie is only successful in the United States. For all of the people who are talking about Carrie getting more viewers, American Idol was brand new. By Carrie’s time on Idol, it was HUGE. If they both competed against each other in the same season, who do you think would win? KELLY!!! I’m sorry if I offended anyone, but I am just trying to let everyone know that kelly is better.

Kelly is way better than carrie come on kelly accualy uses her real voice onthe other hand carrie underwood tries despretley to become more country by faking a southern twang that destroys before he cheats but im glad kelly also likes country i also like country and love all her cds im sure i will love her next but some kelly fans won’t be happy about this sudden change but i think she will do very well in country their are less popular singers in country so it will be easier to get on the radio i LOVE KELLY

JP you’re wrong. Carrie is a much-better and respected artist than Kelly is. Yeah, Kelly’s had some great songs and I hope she makes a return, I mean why else do you think she’s already putting out a new album? Cuase I mean, isn’t that what artists usually do when their current one is a flop, exactly.

Kelly is working w/

RYAN TEDDAR(One Republic ei.STOP&STARE)

Max Martain(SINCE U BEEN GONE,HAZEL EYES!)

TIMBALAND(Possibly)

Kelly’s hard @ work on her 4th ALBUM! Which comes out @ the end of the year. She has a sequel to IRVINE and is doing some cool stuff with RYAN TEDDAR!I am really excited and I think this album is gonna be huge!

Carrie is releasing her 3rd single “LAST NAME” from album #2 and it’s like BEFORE HE CHEATS so I guess this will be HUGE!

carrie’s great, she has an amazing voice… for country atleast. but kelly’s voice is much stronger than hers, her range is bigger, and she can sing pop, country, blues, rock, etc. kelly’s much better; enough said.

reba and kelly will always be better than carrie!!!!!!!!!! totaly

Reba is an Icon and a legend all by her self. You can not compare these others girls with her. She had to work her way to the top of the charts and earn her fans.
This does not mean that these other women are not talented as well. The American Idol show has made their way up to the top much easiar then it use to be for singers to make it in the industry. Carrie is not country but has broke her way into the country. She does have talent and is beautiful. She goes on magazine covers well… 35 million people watched the show(American Idol), it is no surprise that 6 million turn out to buy her album. She was lucky.
Kelly is a wonderful artist with a powerful voice. I think that more people have complimented her voice and talent then that of Carrie. Carrie is popular for now but lets see who can stand the test of time.
As for Reba leave her out of these comparisons. these woman are not legends yet. They have not been Icons for other great artist. they have not stood the test of time…

Undoubtedly, Kelly is better by far. Simon Cowell cas stated that she is the next Celine Dion. And now I have to tell to y’all fucking-carrie-underwood-fans that your bitch’s 2nd album has sold 1/6 what sold kelly’s breakaway. And we’ll see what your slut’s 3rd album is going to sell. I bet it won’t sell over a million. Even Britney Spears and JLo have better voices than your crappy carrie.

It’s been 4 months since I’ve posted on this lol…

I was just letting you guys know that there is this forum(forget which one) that is going to try to promote HOW I FEEL. They are all making fan made videos and the edited ones must be done by Jan.14th. They’ll be a poll for the best video and thay will post it on YOU TUBE. They will keep playing it until it gets noticed. Then in febuary(curent date planned is the 14th) thay will download it off of i-tunes then a few days later they will start requesting it at their local radio stations and hope it picks up.

My December recently went Platnium and Kelly is working on her 4th album and will be touring with reba

I love Kelly!

back off of carrie got it get it good

I’m sorry to all you kelly clarkson fans but she will NEVER EVER be as Great as Carrie Underwood she is the true and very worthy American Idol every Award she has received she has been Deserving of it so Back off and leave her alone!!!!!

I AM CARRIE UNDERWOOD’S BIGGEST FAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is 10 out of 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM CARRIE UNDERWOOD’S BIGGEST FAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is 10 out of 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Kelly and Carrie, but Carrie will be more successful than Kelly. I HATE IT when people say Carrie is bad. CARRIE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! !!!! THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Kelly and Carrie, but Carrie will be more successful than Kelly. I HATE IT when people say Carrie is bad. CARRIE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Carrie is not a one album wonder; her new single proves that her sophomore album is going to be just as (if not more) successful than her SIX TIMES PLATINUM debut. Even Kelly’s debut didn’t go six times platinum.

Carrie Underwood is amazing.””

Kelly’s debut didn’t go six times platinum because her season of American Idol brought in about 18-20 million viewers. Carrie’s season brought in nearly 35 million viewers. See much of a difference?

Am I the only one who thinks people get way too emotional over their favorite singers to the point where they’ll become rude, irrational, and completely immature?

*Sarcasm* Here are some of my favorite kind of posts I’ve seen all too often when people compare Kelly and Carrie.

1) “So and so is fat and ugly” (most likely Kelly in this case). You people are the reason why American society is so screwed up. Do you really want every celebrity to be paper thin or have some sort of eating disorder? It’s called being normal. Don’t even tell me you DON’T know someone in real life who isn’t significantly heavier than Kelly.

2) “Carrie/Kelly All the way! Carrie/Kelly Who?” Wow. Let’s face it, both of them are great singers in their own right and they will be more famous than you will ever be in your lifetime. Next time, consider writing your own name before the “Who?” because I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard of you in my life.

3) Last but certainly not least. People who think that they are all knowing and music moguls. Telling Kelly/Carrie to give up and face the facts that one is better than the other. Grow up. Who talks like that? Sure as hell wouldn’t want you as a friend. There’s room for many successful artists and musicians in the music industry. However there isn’t room for people who incessantly bash people to feel better about themselves. Speaking from personal experience, as I’m sure many people can relate, those are the kind of people who get a swift kick to their ass.

Before you throw an insult consider that both of these talented individuals are and will always be far more accomplished in their respective genres than you will ever be.

“Kaitlin | 8/1/2007, 9:26 am EST

Carrie Underwood is amazing! I hate it when people bash her; she’s proven herself to be an incredible singer and deserves all the success she’s gotten. Having said that, i like Kelly Clarkson a lot! I’ve bought all her albums, but i think she needs to spend more time with all her fans, whether that be more meet and greets or more intimate venues.

Carrie is not a one album wonder; her new single proves that her sophomore album is going to be just as (if not more) successful than her SIX TIMES PLATINUM debut. Even Kelly’s debut didn’t go six times platinum.

Carrie Underwood is amazing.

KELLY CLARKSON is NO LONGER my IDOL!! CARRIE UNDERWOOD is NOW my IDOL!!! Her new single was released to radio it is so beautiful. It’s called SO SMALL . It’s available on YOUTUBE!!!!

MORE BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!

NEITHER SOBER nor DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME are the 2nd single in australia. Australia’s 2nd single is ONE MINUTE!!!

BEAKING NEWS!!!

SOBER: Is not the 2nd single in the U.K. The 2nd single in the U.K is Don’t Waste Your Time(Never Agin debuted and Peaed @ #9 on their chart!!!!!)

Any Guess for 5th week sales???

30k- Fall to #16

Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude about REBA DUET ecause it leaps 2 spots to #10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week MY DECEMBER falls to #11 selling 41k(BOOOOOOOOOOO). Never Again falls off top 50, No word on Sober and I don’t want to talk about REBA duet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love them both. I would love to see Carrie and Kelly on stage together along with Reba McEntire some day. Come together ladies!

I love them both. I would love to see them together on stage with Reba McEntire some day.

4th week sales will be 20k and fall to #10

I think Kelly will stay at #5 and sell another 6ok on her 4th week

Miss Perfect is soooooooooooo right RIHANNA is sooooooooooooooooooooo much beter than KC,AL,CU and R

Actually I Like Rihanna more than Kelly,Carrie,Avril, and Reba!!!!!!! Rihanna is making such a huge break through comeback!!!!!!!! Whislt Kelly doesn’t care about being a star, Carrie is already saying she doesn’t think her new album is as good as SH, Avril thinks shes the best in the world just ’cause she got married, and REBA thinks she can sing and thats she as young as Kelly. Those are not great stars looking for comebacks.

So I suggest everyone focus on the one and only beautiful Rihanna!!! He He He

kelly can sing amazing country ballads..She has it in her. Kelly without a doubt is the best singer from that horrid show american idol, but carrie is just more marketable. Pretty, thin, and blond? Of course she will sell. There is an amazing clip people should here..kelly singing the greatest man I never knew

http://www.dailymotion .com/video/x2exzd_kelly-c-feat -reba-crossroadsthe-gre_music

Sorry, I meant to say NEVER AGAIN is NOT being released to radio again!!!

Sorry I couldn’t get be to ya’ll!!!!
I just found out,SOBER, dissapearded from the bubling under and any other chart(dissapointing isn’t) BUT hopefull it returns back on the chart on it’s 4th week(cross ya fingers and hope for the best)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Unbelievable how little research and thought is put into articles lately, especially one written for RS who now seems to take a back street to Blender. Kelly’s new manager Narvel Blackstock is only the manager of Reba, Blake Shelton and Kelly. The other artists you mentioned only use the Starstruck studios to record. Also Kelly has debunked the rumors of going on the idol tour. That rumor was started by a blogger for publicity and amazingly enough it was picked up as fact. Never have I seen such horrible and irresponsible reporting!

I heard this:

1.My December-#2 291,ooo
2.My December-#3 113,000
3.My December-#5 59,000

So I think she will drop to #9 selling 25,000. The album will most likely go to sell 4 million(U.S) and 7 million(ww) if she releases How I Feel as the third single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also: THERE IS NOT A VIDEO FOR SOBER IN PROGRESS!!!!!!!
AND THAT WAS A FALSE ALARM: NEVER AGAIN IS RETURNING TO RADIO!!!!!
Carrie Underwood releases her Yet-To-Be-Titled 2nd Album Oct.23!!!

Does Not!!!!!!!!!!KELLY HATER

i think she has a good music in her vote becase sing i don’t like don’t kelly becase sing like a boy

WHAT DO U SUSPECT my december’s 4th WEEK SALES WILL BE.
I predicted:

4th 40k(fall to #7)
5th 3ok(fall to #9)
6th 30k(STAY @ #9)

WHAT THE HELL ILOVCARRIE. I just meant that alot of artist have a fantastic debut album and then the second one flops because it sounds the same. It probaly will go 3xPlatnium and I’m buying. Also I never bashed Kelly . I watched the whole of season 4 and CARRIE was my favorite!!!!! I own her debut album!!

YOU DIDN’T DO YOUR RESEARCH like u said Underwood-4-president!! My DECEMBER’S first week sales were less than her debut:

1.Thankful- 297,000
2.My December- 291,000
3. Breakaway- 250,000

“Kelly’s first week sales are higher this time then they ever have been. Also, that tween queen’s CD sales (first week) surpass Carrie’s. I know research is work but you should try it sometime, hun” mel

Mel- you are so wrong. Carrie sold 314,000 albums her first week, outselling kelly’s recent album sales, and all of kelly’s debut week sales. Get the facts straight before you bash.

To the carrie bashers here, calling her a one album wonder- I cannot wait until she proves you wrong- AGAIN- as she did on her debut album..You same bashers predicted it to flop big time- yet it is about to pass kelly’s breakaway in 2 more weeks…in US sales. Kelly still has the edge internationally- but Carrie is starting to do well overseas too. She is goint to tour Australia soon- and hopefully the UK as well. She is in Canada right now. So I predict Carrie’s 2nd album to debut at 400-500K, week one, and to eventually sell at least 3x platinum, hopefully more- depending on the quality of the singles. I like kelly too- not bashing her-just defending carrie- who ROCKS!

I love both Carrie and Kelly- they are both first class in every way- talent, personality, class, integrity, morals. I love kellys voice- and she can sing country decent (ie- the reba duet, Does He Love You)- but I prefer Kelly singing rock/pop songs. Just my personal preference. I think kelly fits better into rock/pop world, and Carrie fits better in the country/pop world. Don’t get me wrong- Carrie CAN sing ANYTHING too- she can sing rock and pop with the best of them- but her personality is so sweet and mild that she would be eaten alive in the more fake, ugly pop world. Carrie doesn’t like to dress trashy or dance provacatively- and that is what I love about her. Kelly is also a sweetheart, but she is edgier- and therefore can handle the rock/pop world better. Plus- kelly’s voice is better suited to rock/pop. She doesn’t sound country at all when she sings- where as carrie has just enough of an accent to make country sound legitimate. Carrie- however- ROCKS GUNS AND ROSES’ SWEET CHILD FO MINE- she performs it live, as well as Alone from Heart (she nails it) and a Skid Row Song– and she really excels when she does rock. I almost like it better then when she does country…LOL Anyway- bottom line- all this petty nasty bashing of carrie and/or kelly is ridiculous. KElly should stick to her rock/pop genre because country does not open the doors that easily or often for people who were first rock/pop- then “go country.” Carrie said she was country from day one- hence she was accepted by the country music industry right away.

Both girls are extremely talented. Over the long haul, Underwood will surpass Clarkson because she has strong mental fortitude and seems to have some peace within. Kelly will have a harder road finding a comfort zone between artistry and marketability.

I DON’T CARE!!!

It does’t matter how old I am.
I went to Shania’s concert in hyde Park in London England with 80,000 other fans and I went to her Chicago concert in Grant Park with 50,000 other fans and you could see young kids from age 8,9 and 10 mouthing the words to all of Shania’s huge hits like MAN I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN or THAT DON’T IMPRESS ME MUCH or HONEY I’M HOME or ANY MAN OF MINE or I’M GONNA GET YOU GOOD and so many other of her huge hits.
big and huge icon like Shania have fans of all ages who could relate to her music.
Maybe you should go and buy her Live in Chicago DVD and see what I mean and how she interacts with the kids on stage.

To everyone else::::: I just bought THANKFUL and I like it better than BREAKAWAY and MY DECEMBER!!!!!

To everyone else::::: I just bought THANKFUL and I like it better than BREAKAWAY snd MY DECEMBER!!!!!

WHATEVER BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So how old are U

JR, well tens of millions care about Shania worldwide since everytime Shania puts out new music it is one of the worlds best sellers and her tours gross over 100 million worldwide everytime.Who cares if you are 11, Shania has 6 yearolds to 80 yearolds at her concerts. She is a music icon who set the standard and has the coolest and best music in history.
Shania has that combination of Charisma,talent,looks,personal ity that makes her one of the biggest stars in history on a global scale.
So age means nothing to Shania fans. Fans of all ages love Shania.

Ok, let me first start of by saying that I love Carrie and Kelly but after hearing some of Kelly’s new songs from her new album, I really can’t seem to like many of them. Her Breakaway album was really good but her new one…I don’t know, I just feel bad because I’m like a fan of hers completly but this new music doesn’t get me, maybe it’s because a lot of the music seems bitter to me. I think if Kelly does move into the country genre that Carrie may still be more successful because Carrie is great at singing country. Yes, Kelly can sing anything but slow songs in country…don’t sound so great. Her duet with Rascall Flatts wasn’t good in my opinon but Carrie’s duet with him, WOW. I think songs that are more upbeat Kelly can sing it great such as her duet with Martina McBride in Does He Love You or even Why Haven’t I Heard From You. I just really wish the best for Kelly and I really hope to get a little back of what we got when she was on Idol…I’m sort of tired of the whole pop-rock thing…

I was just saying that she needs to tour ww to have ww fans and sell lots of albums ww. I was also making a point that Kelly did that lol

Who cares about SHANIA TWAIN like c’mon I’m only 11 LOL

First of all to the person who said country music doesnt’ sell well worlwide lmao!!! Unless your name is Shania TWain who broke records worldwide and is the biggest country female of alltime and one of the biggest star in music history. Shania’s COME ON OVER album alone sold over 38 million worldwide and is the biggest female album of alltime.
And newsflash, The great icon Shania is coming back with a new album in 2008 to show everyone how it is done.
Shania lives in her castles in Switzerland and lives a private life and laughs at how the new acts these days are media hounds.
But get ready for Shania to come out of her self imposed hiatus to have new music out next year and a new world tour.

Kelly has made so many appreances on Idol sice she won. She was on AI twice when it was season 6 so don’t sread rumours!!! And, Clive has never liked any of KELLYs work untill it was #1 or won awards. So when SOBER is #1 he will be supporting her. Carrie outsold Kelly’s debut but thats it. Her second album will probaley sell 2 million and her 3rd will probaly sell less than that!!! Carrie is a one time wonder. She dosen’t even have many fans outside of the U.S(like kelly does) . So don’t hurt Kelly’s fellings and buy MY DECEMBER.

carrie underwoood is way better than kelly ckarkson,carrie even has a better voice and she will out sell kelly in the end.kelly is a bit arogant and pmpous and she does not even like been assioated with american idol anymore.it was so shocking when hannaa montana CD debuted at number 1 and my december at no 2 serves kelly right for not taking advice for clive davis.kelly pride goet before a fall.

I disagree. Reba and Kelly’s is good, but I don’t think it’s better. I love the original and think Kelly did a wonderful job making it.

Kelly and Reba are sooooo good together. Their version of BECAUSE OF YOU is sooooooo much better than Kelly’s orignial.

Sober is supposed to climb charts big Next week after debuting at #110 on the HOT 100 and #93 on the POP 100

I think 144k.(Down about 5o %)

er Mike, Carrie never made any such statement about Clarkson not thanking Idol. Stop the BS bashing

er Mike, Carrie never made any such statement about Clarkson not thanking Idol. Stop the BS bashing

SORRY I POSTED MY COMMENT 3 TIMES.IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!!!!

Hey Robin,

Carrie’s fans are soooooooooo bashing Kelly. Who cares what Kelly said 5 YEARS ago. she has changed. Now she’s a mega pop star taking wrisks!!!!!

Anyone: Can U predicted Kelly Clarkson 2ndweek sales for MY DECEMBER?????????

Hey Danielle, it’s not Carrie fans doing the comparing. It’s all the Kelly fans bashing Carrie. You need to read more than one persons posts that gives you a statement.

Kelly fans should get a grip and stop thinking that country is just another genre that any good singer can sing. Kelly said in season 1 that she wasn’t country and she didn’t like that people thought she should be just because she was a white girl from Texas.

Talk about people having a short memory.

STOP the BS bashing! If a division exists between the two camps, it’s Underwood’s fault from the beginning. You may all recall that when Kelly Clarkson did not publicly thank American Idol up front at an awards show, there was a huge national ruckus about it, led by the resentful Simon Cowell, who went on the rampage against Clarkson in the media, despite the fact he now strongly supports Kelly and is most likely her #1 fan. At the time, the most recently crowned new American Idol was Carrie Underwood, who made an uncalled for comment to ‘the press’ and bashed Clarkson publicly for not thanking American Idol up on that stage and podium. It was an unfortunate misstep for Underwood in many peoples’ eyes and ears, she was subsequently advised to stay out of the fire as it could create serious public backlash against her as well as damage her career, and she withdrew from making any more judgemental commentary towards the universally adored Clarkson. I recall this vivdly, as it was in the press, news media, on the talk shows. So, if there is a rift between fans in both camps, it’s Underwood’s mistake and she never apologized either, despite the fact she raised eyebrows all over the map. Underwood is very fortunate to achieve the massive commercial success she has enjoyed and also recieves support from the Clarkson audience. People have a very short attention span, forget things quickly, and both artists have benefitted in the long run. Kelly Clarkson has become the media darling and the American public’s hero in the sense she has rallied against control of her career, fought, stood her ground for her creativity and integrety of her career against her record company and won. Underwood, on the other hand remains a music business puppet and the all too submissive, passive, controlled artist. Maybe she’ll break out of the mold and take control of her career at some point, before it’s too late.

Mike, I’m not obnoxious. I may be crazy, but not obnoxious. So don’t call me it. And I wasnt bashing Carrie Underwood. I said she was a good singer, but her accent limits her. And I don’t come from a trailer park. They are both great singers, I prefer Kelly more.

Clarkson fans are so obnoxious and crazy. They bash Carrie so bad when she is a really nice girl and a beautiful talent. The Clarksonites should go back to the trailer park they crawled out from.

Personally, I like both Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. If I had to choose between them I will ALWAYS pick Carrie Underwood because I’m more of a country girl and a rocker chick. I didn’t even watch American Idol until Season 4, Carrie’s season, now I’m a die-hard fan. They are both great singers but my heart will ALWAYS lie with country. If Kelly Clarkson chooses to enter country music I hope she does good and she probaly will. However, Carrie Underwood IS COUNTRY!!! Everyone has a little rocker in them and seeing her in concert twice, THE GIRL CAN ROCK!! Kelly can also do country, just watch Crossroads with her and Reba, they were both great. So, until you have personaly attended a concert by either of them I think everyone should just keep all negative comments about either of them to yourself. Support both!!

hAVE u SEEN rEBA AND kELLY PERFORM fancy IT IS SO AWESOME!!!! Also, they do a good version of SUBG. But I hate the BOY version they did!!!

I wasn’t bashing the southern accent. Carrie Underwood is a really good singer, it’s just that she the accent doesn’t allow her to sing other genres without sounding a little, out of place. Sorry if I offended you. And I don’t have that accent, but I know what you mean, I love it too.

I personally do not appreciate all of the bashing of the southern accent. I am a southern by blood and heart and feel there is nothing wrong with speaking or singing in my native tounge. We need more young people breaking into country music. In my opinion it is a lot easier to understand the lyrics of a southern song compared to the rapping (music and song) and I use those words carefully because the most I get out of rapping is the sound of someone trying to eat or spit on the microphone while holding onto their private areas, add a little acrobatics and you have talent? I would sit and listen to any type of music and I do mean talented music and song than the rapping. This type of so called talent got its name correct at least, rap, like wrap it up and destroy it.

Kelly has better boobs. That should count for something.

this place smells like potpourri & horse manure! shame on you rolling stone!

Kelly Is so versatile in singing carrie doesnt even compare. Kelly Can sing anything and sound good and she is not going country anyways she happens to like different types of music . Doesnt most people? Carrie sing rock or pop would be complete mess. Whe she was on american idol and sandg heart it sounded ok but wasnt all that great. She is good at country but thats it. Kelly sounds good doing it all. There is no comparison. By the way she doent yell when she sings. Look at aerosmith who by the way has been around a hell of lot longer then carrie underwood. Do you think he yells to? Well if he does The more power to them because people seem to like it. Carries voice sounds the same on every song. How boring. That will get old. Not to mention country music is the easiest music to sing why do you think so many people sing it at karaoke bars. Plus when she performs i could fall asleep . She is like a staue standing there. Ughhhh. I am falling asleep just thinking about it. Kelly=rocks Carrie=yawnnnnnnnnn
See ya suckers

I disagree Ryan. Sure, Carrie is a good singer, but not better. I think GOOD singers are singers, who can sing every genre. Yeah, Carrie probably can sing other genres, but not as well because of her accent. That’s her only problem. Kelly, in my opinion(and should be yours too), is the better singer.

Carrie is the better singer. I like The Black Eyed Peas. They Are pretty good. But I cant wait till Blake Lewis’s CD comes out.He should of won instead.

I think that she just wants to not make her albums boring by doing part 2!!!!!!

I hope with all that’s within me that ALL Idol winners do exceedingly well.At this time Kelly is learning how mean and evil some of her fellow Americans are.This young woman is very bright—vibrant—highly intelligent and just a plain super sweet girl that’s being HERSELF and not what someone else would perceive or have her to be.There is absolutely no excuse or cheap reason to down her the way she was last month and continues.she has courage and jealous weak people do not like such people because THEY are evil.Of a few things she has in common with this Black American OLD Soldier that could be her Grand Father–she says what she thinks and believes and not what someone else thinks she should say or do and don’t care what others think about it.She need not be concerned—most Americans are not evil–mean–envious and jealous.They love her just as I do.Carrie Underwood is also first class.That little thing can thunder.I hope Ruben Studdard and Taylor Hicks also break out eventually.I really like the way Chris Daughtry has succeeded thus far.

Kelly Clarkson & Carrie Underwood ROCK! I hope that they do a duet together! And as for whos better than who? I am not choosing! I can’t!!!

As for y’all that are, then your lame! Give it up!!!! I can NOT WAIT for Kelly’s Country Album! Its gonna rock!

I don’t see what everyone is talking about!!!!
Kelly is brilliant at Pop/Rock/Soul but Carrie is brilliant @ Country!!!!!

Kelly ’s New album MY DECEMBER does have some country but not enougth for her to give Carrie a bad name.

And her the next will be country but their will still be Pop/Rock/Soul!!!!!

Also Carrie is releaseing a 2nd album in the fall!!

Ok, let’s get one thing straight: Kelly is not trying to “beat out” Carrie Underwood, because she doesn’t need to try. Kelly can clearly do whatever she wants and be successful. Maybe it’s true that going country would be a mistake, but if she wants to do it, she’ll obviously do it, and there’s no point in trying to tear her down for doing what she wants. She was not “force-fed” through the radio, because just look at the number of people who bought her album. Kelly is an individual who has broken away from the standards set by Idol, Carrie however has just fallen in deeper. While I agree that both are amazingly talented artists, Kelly has an edge that Carrie simply cannot match. Kelly is, and may well always be, the most successful Idol, for she has proved that you don’t have to be a teen pop singer to be successful on the radio and in the modern music industry.
Also, regarding the “tween” that beat Kelly’s album sales - she is popular because her dad is popular; she has absolutely no talent whatsoever.

I don’t see what the big fuss is. They BOTH have great voices. I personally prefer Kelly, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to hate on Carrie.

And Kelly has always expressed interests in being a diverse artist. Even before Carrie Underwood went on Idol, Kelly has said how she loves every genre of music and she plans on putting out albums that reflect that. And the whole country craze began before all the controversy. She and Reba dueted back when she first won, and she’s ALWAYS said that she loves country. So this isn’t a sudden change in direction to save her career like the author of this article is implying.

I think everyone needs to drop the being fued between Kelly and Carrie..Everyone has their favorite between the two singers. I persoanlly like them both, but would pick Carrie any day. I think the two singers and complety different in style so you cant judge them. So everyone needs to start saying, there opinions, and not start. “drama” over there opinions. If you want the facts on whose better this is the way i see it! Kelly sold so far a little over 3 million copies in US with her debut album. Carrie so far has sold over 6 million copies. Lets the facts call it if you will..but dont go dishing carrie or kelly..because they got talent that none of us have!

Kelly Clarkson is way more versatile than Carrie Underwood. I love both their voices but Kelly’s has a quality to it that Carrie Underwood will never be able to achieve. That quality is the raspy tone. Look at classics like Janis Joplin. I think Kelly can vocally handle anything thrown at her.

Kelly Clarkson sings rock,sometimes. That is the reason her voice is raspy sometimes. Sometimes she is sick, while performing, but I am glad her voice is raspy sometimes because it fits what she is singing. If anyone Carrie needs to take lessons from Kelly, and lose the accent. And who is yelling? If you were talking to me, I wasn’t. I was just emphasizing something.

Never in a kazillion years will Kelly have the success in country as Carrie does. Kelly has problems with her voice, and tends to be raspy at times. She needs to listen to the smoothness of Carrie’s voice and learn from it…and for chrissake…QUIT YELLING!!!!

P.S. I haven’t said this. I don’t think, but Kelly IS NOT the “New Carrie Underwood.”
Oh and HEY RYAN!!!

the only reason Carrie Underwood did so well is because, unlike Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood did what Clive wanted. Kelly followed her instincts, and thank god for that. I would be really mad if she did come out with a BREAKAWAY 2. steps71 Reba is not “proping Kelly up” or whatever you think she is doing, they are just working together. And steps71 you are right Kelly Clarkson isn’t in the same ballpark as Carrie Underwood. She is in one WAY BETTER. Carrie Underwood is really limited to just singing COUNTRY or COUNTRY/POP. And the reason for that is because of her accent. Kelly can sing anything, because she doesn’t have that accent.

Reba is managed by Starstruck which is owned by her husband, but she is still managed by Starstruck.

Starstruck doesn’t manage Reba-Reba manages starstruck-she owns it!

Starstruck does not manage Martina, Toby Keith or Jon Bon Jovi. The only other artists they manage besides Kelly are Reba McEntire and country singer Blake Shelton.

Tbh, an artist like Kelly wants to show her fans what she is feeling. She’s done this through her latest album which i have to say is AMAZING. It gives her fans a taste of her life.. that being famous isnt about all glory & happiness.. shes just like every1 els & doesnt do prentending or singin silly unmeaningful lyrics. Her voice is exceptional & she can sing any genre. For kelly, evrytime she makes an album she wants it to be different. she doesnt want to be one of those artists whose records sound the same each time - that bores people. Which personally i think is great for kelly. We all get to see a different side to her & it can only mean more success. So why dont you just stop comparing & complaining. Its the music industry!

If Kelly did Country i’d imagine it being more in the same vein as The Wreckers rather than Carrie. Just because they were both on Idol doesn’t really warrant a comparason.

Oh, and you spelt Katharine wrong. Two A’s, one E.

“Then, all of a sudden, her new CD is not a runaway success (losing to a tween queen)”

Kelly’s first week sales are higher this time then they ever have been. Also, that tween queen’s CD sales (first week) surpass Carrie’s. I know research is work but you should try it sometime, hun

But whatever, a big chunk of this article is pure speculation.. I mean seriously! What is wrong with having two great country singers anyway?

You can’t just say someone’s a better singer than another and poof it’s fact across the board, it’s opinion! and one persons opinion does not make it so for everyone. There are many great women country singers alongside Carrie who is releasing her new album in October, Shania Twain is releasing an album next year, Faith Hill a greatest hits in the fall, Martina McBride, Sara Evans and more- and many up and coming wonderful and talented women on the horizon. If Kelly is doing a country album, that’s ok. No need for comparisons. Carrie will still be great and all the other country women will still be great. The country fans may or may not accept Kelly, it remains to be seen, but she will still have her Pop and rock fans. First, the country album and then, what did Kelly say? oh yes, a big band album I believe with all the old standards.

Kayla go and watch an interview simon did back when the finale happened. he said Kelly was the best thing to happen to this show and is the most talented and is up there with Celine Deion if you would ask him. Im not making up bull sh*t. and then in EW weekly the one with Kelly on the cover he said “She’s not a girl who got lucky in a talent competition; we got lucky to find her” - Simon Cowell
so dont sit here and tell me im mis quoting him because im not. I will admit he said Carrie will be the best selling Idol with their debut(she sold a whole lot. i didnt know anyone could have their debut sell that much) but she ISNT the most talented.
and how can kelly be the new carrie when kelly was in the buisness before carrie.
and the only sell out in here is Carrie. she sings what ever you want her to and has one of her songs crossed over to pop. now thats a SELL OUT!

Kelly Clarkson is not even in the same ballpark as Carrie Underwood.Not talentwise or anyother way.

Kelly Clarkson is not even in the same ballpark as Carrie Underwood.Not talentwise or anyother way.

I’ll just say this about kelly clarkson.Carrie Underwood doesn’t need anyone to help prop her up like reba is.Carrie is a better performer than kelly and reba both.

One word….SELLOUT…. Kelly makes a big deal out of wanting to write her own music, being a huge rocker, fighting with Clive Davis to have HER music heard. Then, all of a sudden, her new CD is not a runaway success (losing to a tween queen) and now all of a sudden she’s country. Trying to cash in on the huge country market because she’s lost a huge part of her fanbase with her angry, rocker album. Give me a break….if it looks like a sellout, walks like a sellout and smells like a sellout….it’s a SELLOUT. Good luck Kelly. Go Carrie…the new reigning queen of country, who started country and continues country. Imagine the hoopla if Carrie decided to go rocker chick. The Kelliots would explode!

Carrie will eventually outsell Kelly. The only reason Kelly has sold the most is because she has been around the longest.

Daughtry will probably end up outselling her too. Judging by her single’s sales, I don’t think that Jordin will sell very well, unless they give her EXTREMELY radio frindly songs.

If Carrie can stay humble I think she will have a long and successful career. As for Kelly, I think she will lose a lot of her tweenie and casual fans with this album.

Kelly has been my idol and will always be. She had a passion for music and despite all odds she became America’s idol. Her voice is beyond exquisite and she inspires me to pursue my love of music and singing. Kelly has so much talent that cannot be summed up in such few lines

Everyone must have forgotten Kelly did country back on Idol as well as sang w/Reba when that group of idols did Vegas. The whole country/Reba thing started in 2002 after she won if not before.

Carrie is a generic country singer. Kelly can do Tony Bennett specials, CMT specials, throw down some Ray Lamontagne or Annie Lennox or Aretha Franklin or Mariah Carey or Dionne Warwick or some Patty Griffin or….shall I go on?

Carrie and Chris = generic Kelly = a pot pourri

Idol should bring back the format from that first season to find the best talent but they wouldn’t get those sales then, would they?

i dont like country music. so i personally hope kelly doesnt go country. but if anyone could win me over it would be her.
i never would have listened to carrie on purpose, but i heard her version of “i’ll stand by you” and i got goose bumps!!!!!!!!!!!
these girls are soooooooo different from each other. they’re both very talented. i’d hate to limit what they can do.
i cant see myself ever buying a carrie album, but lots of people will and thats awesome!
kelly isnt trying to step on anyones toes, she’s just doin’ what strikes her! and im so proud of her for not settling on her new album. before you knock kelly, you should give a listen to my december. listen to it and pretend you dont know its kelly singing. just listen before you judge her. you can tell people that you’re a kelly hater if it makes you feel better, but i KNOW you’ll secretly love her!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to see Kelly go country just for the sake of being fascinated by the fan wars that would ensue.

So what if Kelly has switched management? Is that going to make her better than Carrie? No. I personally favor Carrie over Kelly because I’ve always enjoyed country music more; but both are talented artists. If they weren’t then they wouldn’t have won the American Idol title; so who really cares which sells more albums if Carrie & Kelly both are making great music?

Yeah, FACTS are FACTS & if you’re going to quote Simon, then you can’t ignore that he said Carrie would be the most successful Idol ever, & that Clay was the best thing to ever happen to the show & can do anything in any part of entertainment he sets his mind to. So Simon doesn’t think Kelly is the best, either. I beleive he’s always said his personal favorite is Fantasia. Deal with it, Kelidiots!

Oh come on.I think Kelly has got all her chances to be the best idol, but she just let it slipped away when she had never been grateful for her success after idol.She never thanked anyone at Idol,never sang in any idol except AI6.I think that’s also when her crisis start: some think she is a bit over the top(no one can sing her song till AI4),feud with Clive.
We know that she is a good singer but her action is a disappointment.

Carrie on the hand is also a good singer and after many awards she still stay “humble”.That’s what people look at.You are not only good at what you do but you be grateful for the things that you have.

Viva Carrie!!!

Why is everyone haten on kelly. She wants to try new stuff. Why limit themselves to one thing. Her first 2 CD’s did great. They are different but we still bought them. Her 3rd CD is out so we will see how it goes. With her gonna country, well we will hafto see. It could be Country/Pop/Rock. Carrie Underwood is Country/Pop and she did great. We will hafto see. Also check these guyz out
www.myspace.com/theveroni cas
PS-HEY JESSE

Im gonna laugh so much when Carrie flops on her next album. because she is probably going to do the same thing and people will realize its the same thing with different songs. Carrie has made ONE album. Kelly has made numerous and is a world wide super star.
oh and how about Carrie crossing over to pop. no one talks about that. I guess she thinks she is that good. I LOVE carrie buts its her fans that keep on making me hate her more and more. they keep on getting cockier and cockier. now i know why some country singers hate her now and used to like her. She isnt Mariah Carey or Madonna and until she passes kellys total copies sold World wide she isnt the best American Idol. i dont care if she only has one album u guys want to comapre them go ahead compare them but FACTS are FACTS. and kelly is the most successfull and the best singer to come from that show. Simon Cowell has said it numerous tmes that Kelly is the best and AI might never find anything like her ever again.

BWAHAHAHAHA!! If ya can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, eh Kelly? Heeheeheeheehee…. the Kelbots explode in panic yet again!

There is room for both ladies in country. The industry is always bigger than just one person. I think Kelly will do well in country and I don’t think she’ll really be in direct competition with Carrie, and if she is, then it will be good for both of them. It will almost be like the shania, Faith Hill days lol.

fat vs hot? come on people.

I love both of them but I think there’s no argument that Kelly is way better than Carrie. Carrie is very technical and I could barely see emotions in her singing while Kelly has always lived her music. She has dynamic and exciting vocals which is classically trained but not conventional in delivery. Carrie is somewhat generic and looks like a barbie doll and I hate to see “sanitized” artists. I want real music and that is what Kelly brings to the table. There is something about Kelly’s tone that engages you and conveys real emotion. And let’s not forget that Kelly is the ONLY idol that has broken away from that cheesy idol image. It’s even hard to believe that she came from that show.

It always amazes me how fans can take something and somehow make it an offense against their idol. Kelly hasnt even switched to country, just changed management, and already shes being crucified by some for trying to outdo carrie? Ridiculous. All Kelly is doing is getting people she can trust around her and apparently she trusts Reba and Rebas husband. I can sure see why with all the Clive stuff Ive heard re. her and other idols. Give the girl a chance for petes sake. Even if she does go country, so what? Carrie is established, theres room for more then one female country singer, nashville is full of them.

Wake up you all…this is an attempt to try and steal Carrie’s thunder. All of a sudden Kelly wants to do country? Give me a break! She’s an impossible person to deal or work with and she is just desperately scrambling to get back in the public eye…the GOOD eye that is. Take over Carrie? Hahahahaha! Give it all you got sweetie but the thunder that rolled into Nashville named Underwood will roll right over Clarskonville as well.

If Kelly tries to take over from Carrie she will flop.

rie’s popularity is increasing while Kelly’s is decreasing. As well as having to cancel her tour, she recently did a free concert, and only 75 people turned up. That is pathetic! Miley did an instore appearance and THOUSANDS of people turned up. People have been force fed Clarkson on the radio, and now they are fed up with her.

Screaming on pitch does not equal great singing ability. It equates to bad technique that will cause her to devlop vocal nodes and that kill her voice and end her career. I do think Clarkson can sing and has a wonderful voice - until she starts screaming that everyone seems to think demonstrates her “power” and “ability”. I also think she is a good song writer. She is a wonderful talent that is making some wrong choices.
Carrie on the other hand, sings with good techniques and knows how to control her voice. She is country and Kelly is rock - its like comparing apples and oranges. I have seen both live a number of times and Carrie has 10X better pitch accuracy than Kelly. To say that Carrie should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Clarkson is rediculous. Carrie’s debut has sold the same amount as Clarkson’s huge Breakaway in the US - and is on pace to outsale. Clarkson has sold better worldwide because American Country Musi
