Kelly Clarkson has dropped her Goth look..fired her management team, had a total makeover, and adopted a wholesome, loppy-pop image for her new album, in the wake of very poor sales for her last effort

Hm.

Hi kids!

What’s the over/under in minutes before the first flamboyantly gay male contestant?

Hi Jonny, thanks for hosting this year's thread. I am SO looking forward to being among our AI friends again.

Re Kelly Clarkson, her new single debuted today and is getting a very positive reception so far. The song is light, fluffy dance/pop. A purely commercial effort after her "artistic" Goth album, My December, failed to meet expectations. It did go platinum, barely, and has sold around 2 million worldwide, but that's a far cry from her monster hit album 'Breakaway.'

The new song is called 'My Life Would Suck Without You'. It is TOTALLY targeted toward the tweens, teens and very young adults who buy most music these days. It's cotton candy music, which is fine and has its place.

Here's a link to it on YouTube in case you want to hear it. This clip has a few bars of the radio station's intro music, and it ends kind of abruptly, but the official version was taken down from YouTube due to copyright infringement.
