Happy Birthday Kelly Clarkson!

Yesterday (April 24) was Kelly Clarkson's birthday! She's turning 32 years old! (It doesn't look like it, right?) ;) That also means it's been 12 years since she won the first season of American Idol and began her career in music. (Wow, that makes me feel old!)

Check out Kelly's first American Idol audition:

To this day, she still has her amazing pipes and her cute, spontaneous, dorky personality. I hope she continues to make music and inspire the world, and I wish her the best for the future!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY CLARKSON!!!

Song of The Week: "Time Machine"

Song of The Week: "Time Machine" by Ingrid Michaelson

"Time Machine" is a super catchy song from Ingrid Michaelson's newest album Lights Out. I came across this song on Spotify one day and its opening piano beat instantly caught my attention. Although I haven't listened to many of Ingrid's older songs, I can tell that she's taking on a different style (compare this to "Be OK" and "The Way I Am"). I like this sassy, rocker side of her; this song is definitely going on replay for a while. :)

New Kelly Clarkson Song! (It's a duet!)

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while... I was traveling and got sick and was busy with work and other stuff. But everything's back to normal now!

Now for some great news! Kelly Clarkson just came out with a new song called "In The Basement"! Well, it's actually a duet with country singer Martina McBride and is a part of Martina’s independently released Everlasting LP. Also, the song is originally by Etta James, an American Blues artist. Listen to the duet below!

It seems like Kelly is trying out a different sound. I really like the raspy and breathy quality of her voice in this song. Here's a test for all the fans out there: can you tell the difference between Kelly's singing and Martina's singing? :)
