I was looking forward to seeing Kelly Clarkson this summer. I really was. I love that song about never venturing off the sidewalk, and the one about her hazel eyes, and the one about walking away… I think she could put on a good show, but she will be putting on no shows this summer due to poor ticket sales and pressure from her label Sony BMG.
After getting repeatedly slammed by Clive Davis, head of Sony BMG, over her new record “My December,” for which she wrote or co-wrote every single, and after firing her manager, poor Kelly has been under a lot of stress.
The official statement from her website:
I can’t tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to getting out there to perform for y’all. In the craziness of the music business, performing is what I look forward to doing the most, so it really is disappointing for me to have to tell you that I won’t be coming out to tour this summer. The fact is that touring is just too much too soon.
But I promise you that we’re going to get back out there as soon as is humanly possible to give you a show that will be even better.
Thanks for all of your love and continued support. — Kelly Clarkson
better to cancel a tour and stay in control of your game than to lose control and disappoint a lot of people.
My boyfriend and I were PUMPED to see this. We saw her for our first date. It was so much fun!
Now we’ll just have to wait for Beyonce.
Kelly Will make it through this!! Since yesterdays news her Myspace page views and music listening has trippled!!! (www.myspace.com/kellyclarkson) so the fans still love her!! She is a strong, loved, and talented artist! Life is not suppose to always be easy!! She still remains one of the most humble, and real artist in the world, and an Amazing voice to match!!! Go Kelly!!
Sincerely,
Chicago’s #1 Kelly Clarson Fan
