ok, gonna start this, and i may be the only one in here, but that's ok, i suppose, but kelly was, after all, our first idol. i bought her new cd, breakaway, today. i like it. it is darker than "thankful" was, with a lot of songs being break-up or disappointment songs. about the most upbeat song on the cd is the title track, breakaway. she co-wrote several of the songs, which i think is great. she is very talented imho. anyway, thought i would start the thread. hope other people will join me here.

She was fantastic on GMA today, can't remember the song name but it was really good and had a rock flavor to it.

Just heard the song again and the name of it is "Since You've Been Gone." I bought the CD for my niece's birthday, can't wait to hear the whole thing.

yes, since u been gone is the newest song. she's been singing it on all the talk shows. the cd is more songs like that than breakaway. i like it, though, i must admit there are a few songs i skip through. for now anyway.

thanks, rslover, i would have missed it, if it weren't for you. did you see it? kelly has blonde hair now, and is dressing skimpy. <sigh>. what happened to sweet and innocent? she sounded great, though. she was even in a couple of skits, too.

Yes, and she did sound great. Rob on the Fishbowl called her chubby and said she just lost 20 lbs. I never thought she was chubby (5'5, 125 lbs) and she looked the same to me. Did she look much thinner to you? She never knew what to do with her hair, was always highlighting it different colors. The blonde looked ok to me. She always said she would be herself. I took that to mean "you won't turn me into another Britney." Wonder if she is now feeling the pressure look sexier.

She certainly had a plunging neckline!!! Her band seemed to drown her out in points.

She's a young 20-something woman who is probably trying to define her personal style. Most women that age go through a period of transition. Kudos to her if she has lost a few pounds because the cameras (and the audience) are pretty judgmental. I think personal behavior says a lot more about a person's character than their wardrobe, and so far Kelly has managed to keep herself out of the negative public eye, which can't be easy. Look at what girls are dressing like for prom - many of the dresses I see advertised are beyond what I would think are acceptable for high school girls - slits up to "there" and necklines down below the navel...do parents really buy these things for their daughters? Remember, when she was on AI she was also trying to project an image that would get us to vote for her. I'm just pleased that she is moving forward with what looks like a successful career - she has a wonderful voice and truly seems deserving. As a side note, does anybody think that one of this year's contestants (the young man from New York that really has a great voice - sorry I can't remember his name but I'm guessing he is either black or Puerto Rican-mixed) looks a lot like Justin from AI One? Beautiful smile, great cheekbones? Or am I just dreaming?

roxip, i mentioned there was a boy that i thought looked like justin a while back. i'll bet it's the same guy. he has curly hair, but shorter than justin's was, right?

Right, and Rslover you are right too. They have the same kind of face structure - beautiful cheekbones and jaw lines.

lol eggie, no pictures YET! i took an assload of them though...to the tune of almost 3 rolls. they wouldn't let us get our pictures of us with kel from with our own cameras, but they did it rather "professionally" and they are supposed to post them on the fan club site so we can download them. yay! kind of a funny story, i went way early in the morning, like i left here at 7:45 (that's early for me on the weekend) because stl is a 3 hour drive and i wanted to make sure i got close to the stage so i could really see kelly perform. we always get shitty seats to the regular shows, so i wanted to be close enough to the stage where you can actually tell who my pics are of. kelly wasn't actually scheduled to perform til 6pm. a long time....sigh. so the first act was someone named michael tolcher? (i think) he was aiiight, but i had never heard his songs..they must not play them here. anyway, i was very close to the stage, and got some good pics of him. he is a cute young man. so i had already asked security where i was supposed to pick up my pass to meet kelly. no one knew, of course. so, after michael's performance, i decided to ask someone else about the passes. the female security/police at the front of the stage sent me around to the "command center" to ask them, they tell me to go "down there" that's where kelly's bus was and the people down there ought to know...this was around noon. so i go down there and there were about 20 people down there waiting by a fence. so i went over there and noticed many were sporting self-made kelly shirts, etc. so i asked them what was going on, and also met some folks that i have read on a couple of kelly boards. (yes, i am a dork). the funny thing is, i was expecting a bunch of teenybopper girls...most of them were women my age...i thought i was the oldest die-hard kelly fan. lol. not so much. so i asked them what they were doing and they said that kelly was on the bus asleep and they were waiting for her to come out. and there was another girl there who was supposed to have a meet and greet pass, as well, so i decided to stick with her. oh, and i should mention that gavin degraw was standing there schmoozing with kelly's fans, too. lol. i got a picture with him and also i got him to sign my denim jacket. so i stayed there with all the other kelly fans and we waited...and waited....and waited. all the while, we got to chat with her band members and best friend ashley...who is also her assistant. some people had bought ashley a bike. i didn't really understand why, but hey, whatever. so we waited for literally hours and nothing really happened. kelly must have been really tired. well, i guess that was the right place to be, because the people who had the backstage passes came over there and those of us whose names were on the list, were given these silky sticker things with a pic of kelly on it to wear. sweet. we were all standing around talking and didn't even notice when kelly got off her bus and went into her trailer. lol later on, i spotted her with her friend coming out of her trailer and going into joss stone's, which was right next to hers. then a few minutes later, she runs back to hers. seems she was in a hurry trying to get ready. finally toward the end of joss stone's performance (she was right before kelly) several of us decided we'd better get back into the crowd to try to make our way toward the stage because the place was insanely full. i spotted the kids that had given us our backstage passes and tagged along with them...we got pretty far, i think the pics will turn out good. kelly did great onstage! she is very energetic and friendly...waving at individuals that she see's waving. just very fun. the audience loved her, and you could tell she was enjoying herself...it was outside and it was a gorgeous day. so she's gone toward kind of more of a rock feel than soul, and it works for her, too. she was jumping up and down so much, she nearly lost her britches. lol. she said "i like to put on a good show". also, she is now doing a rock version of a moment like this. it was actually pretty cool. after the show was over, those of us with passes gathered in the designated area. we stood in line by her trailer while she did a couple of radio interviews. i found out from talking to the teenaged girl in front of me that she actually lives in my town...what a small world. ok, so on to meeting kelly, we wait in line and talk about how nervous we are...lol, like she's really mean or something. but i had gotten her a cute little graphic tee from target that has 2 dancing squirrels on it and it says "squirrels gone wild" haha. i have the same shirt and love it, and she always is wearing those little shirts, so i thought what better way to butter her up for more autographs than 1...which i knew she would do anyway, but hell, like i'm ever gonna meet her again. so we get to take our turn to go into the trailer, and i was talking to the people beside me and we're all flipping out. we kept peeking into the room where she was talking to everyone, and it was so cool. she couldn't be any nicer of a person. so my turn came and i went in and introduced myself, and i was so nervous i was shaking! i told her i was glad i hadn't eaten since early that morning, otherwise i might throw up! lol, she said she hadn't eaten either. haha...i said how dumb is that? i'm 30 years old and flipping out over this! she goes "that's awesome, i love hearing that!" she said she wants to be 30! lol, she said her birthday was coming up and she was only gonna be 23, but she can't wait to be 30! i said, well, you know who you are and you feel very grounded at this age...she goes "yeah, exactly", i told her i was still single and she said that she wanted to still be single at 30, too. so funny...i think she was humoring me! anyway, so i told her that my friend that always comes with me to her concerts couldn't come to this one because her uncle died and she went to his funeral (that was the truth) and she was so nice, she said "OMG tell her i'm so sorry" (she repeated this several times, throughout our time) and she signed both of her cd covers (personalized...lucky for her we have the same names) also my breakaway cd cover...my $30 t-shirt that i bought, and my denim jacket that gavin had signed. she was just so nice. she loved the squirrels gone wild t-shirt...and commented that she could wear small too (she's a teeny girl! and usually wears XS but they didn't have any of those) and commented on her small breasts! ROFL! i also had a conversation with her about gavin degraw...he told all of her fans waiting for her by the bus that she was a big fan of his. lol! she said "i am!..we do a lot of shows together!" anyway, she mentioned again before i left to tell my friend she was sorry about her uncle, i said i would that i would call her right when i left. it was an awesome experience. she is a friendly, down-to-earth person. she's also tiny and really cute. hopefully pics will be coming soon! YAY!
