To: texasflower; A CA Guy
Good morning, texasflower. Sorry I haven't been around much. Just started a new job a week ago, and it's putting a big crimp in the amount of time I can spend online. Anyway, Kelly is indeed doing really well.

I happened to notice someone -- was it you, A CA Guy? -- who said they saw Kelly recently and she is heavy. Nonsense! I, for one, hope the rail-thin anorexic look goes the way of the horse-and-buggy real soon. Although Kelly is not a classic beauty, she's certainly a pretty young woman. More to the point, she's exceptionally talented.

I don't have time right now to list all of her achievements, but regarding her looks, she just got one of the most coveted advertising gigs of all: she's the new "Got Milk -- Milk Moustache" girl.

As to talent, her 2nd album is well on its way to triple platinum and is still in the top 15 on the Billboard charts more than six months after its release. Her third single off the album is on its way to becoming the third #1 single in a row from it. Her song-writing abilities were recognized in that the world's leading song publisher snapped up a deal to co-produce songs she writes. She's just finishing up her first solo tour, which she played to sold-out venues around the country and in Canada. The tour was so successful that they are doing an extension this summer.

Kelly was the #1 pop female solo artist for months, until new releases by Gwen Stefani and Mariah Carey came out. Kelly has recently moved into 2nd place, all time, behind Celine Dion for the number of consecutive weeks one of her songs was #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts (and it's still #1).

The girl is working very hard and is on her way to superstardom. But best of all, Kelly is a committed Christian. She had a cross tatooed inside one of her wrists because, she said, it keeps her humble.

Yep, Kelly's two top ten pop songs in recent years is far better than most could ever hope for in one career.
I do expect her to give us more hits as well.

She is a tank though. I saw her live and of course it is what it is.

Good luck with your new job by the way. Hope you are lucky enough to be getting all nice people to deal with there.

Thanks Wolfstar. Yes, it was CA Guy who thinks Kelly is fat.

Thanks for giving him this information on Kelly. He thought all Kelly had done was have a couple of good songs.

He's a bit hard to please. :-) Right sweetie?

I agree about Kelly. The thing about Kelly is that she has a distinct style. You know it's her. Whereas if you heard Carrie singing on the radio, you could think of 20 women country singers who could be singing. I'm almost embarrassed to say this, since I'm 46 years old, but I just sent away for Kelly's CD!!!!!
