American idle
By Douglas Perry
Star-Telegram Staff Writer


HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- On a bright February morning, Kelly Clarkson steps onto the beach in a black one-piece swimsuit and a sheer ankle-length purple skirt. She is plainly overdressed.

Beautiful college girls as close to naked as possible stand around in twos and threes, preening for their next boyfriend or just gazing out at the stark blue of the sea. But this party-ready bikini brigade isn't here on spring break. They're extras on Clarkson's first movie, 'From Justin to Kelly: The Rise of Two American Idols.' And they have a very specific mission: to ratchet up the sex appeal so that teen-agers, and not just "tweens," head out to the multiplex to see the film.

.............And futher down in the article it says:


Cowell's not the only doubter. Moving away from straightforward pop, says Promoter Line's Thompson, "is a big mistake for her. R&B and soul may be her passion, but that's not the audience she was dealing with on 'American Idol.' If you don't dance with the one that brung you, you're in trouble."

But Clarkson makes plain that she doesn't really care what Cowell, or anyone else, has to say. She's not going to be fenced in by teen pop strictures. She's not going to sing bouncy songs about nothing or push her cleavage out and tell 'Rolling Stone' she's really a bad, bad girl. She's going to follow her heart.

"Normally with new artists, like Pink and Christina, they end up saying, you know, 'My first album wasn't me.' They bring out the second album and say, 'This is me. This is who I am,' " she says. "But the show made it easier for me to say, 'No, this is what I want to do.' All I heard for the past couple years was, 'Oh, I can't sell you. You have no image.' And that's just so sad. I'm a singer. 'That's' my image."

.............There's more it's a great read!


I highly recommend reading the entire article. It's fantastic and has some wonderful quotes from Kelly.
