Talk:Kelly Clarkson

Firing Guitarist

Shouldn't there be some statement in the article about Kelly firing her guitarist? It's all over the [gossip] news lately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.194.41 (talk) 19:55, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

not encyclopedic enough.. artists fire supporting musicians all the time, it's not a big deal. Clarkson is a solo artist with a backup band.. the band can be replaced at any time (and with many solo artists, including Clarkson, often is). Alan - talk 22:34, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I thought that wasn't the real guitarist? If you watch the video the guy is far far left stage, not even with the other poeple. and the spotlight hits him before she takes him offstage. I'm pretty sure it was just some guy tryinig to make an ass of himself. 72.220.125.86 (talk) 10:23, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

New Album 2010

Kelly Clarkson plans to create a fifth album in Fall of 2010. She stated that it would be music unlike all of her other albums...being rock and pop. She still hasn't announced who the editor is going to be, though.

and when there is something official released by her mamagement/label about it, it will be added to the article, for now, it's all heresay, and jsut because Kelly says hopefully by the end of the year, doesn't mean it will be. Alan - talk 23:45, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Ancestry

Sounds a bit English to me Clarkson son of Clark, what do you recon? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.186.3.245 (talk) 03:57, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

She is of Irish decent on her paternal side as her dad last name is Clarkson, Yes Clarkson is of English origins, though it must be said that her Irish Ancestry maybe her dads parents maybe mother or father. On her Maternal side of the family same again maybe of ancestry through her parents-parents because she is of Greek heritage. (talk)

She is off Irish and Greek ethnicity. This is obtained from an interview of Kelly Clarkson where she discusses this. I am not sure how to reference it on wikipedia, as I am a new user. She discusses her ethnicity around the 1.50 minute mark. The source is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D18UsuIZ8hI (talk)

Update Main Picture

I don't know the exact term for it but the picture used in the info bar at the top of the page should be updated. It looks like it's from the American Idol or Thankful eras. An AIEW era pic should be used. She looks different now. Fan4me (talk) 17:05, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes thank you for doing that! Fan4me (talk) 13:24, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from 124.182.51.171, 28 August 2010

{{editsemiprotected}}

Her popularity skyrocketed in 2009 & 2010. 124.182.51.171 (talk) 14:39, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. --- cymru lass ^{(hit me up)}⁄_{(background check)} 19:59, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

kellyclarkson.com for website as well as kellyofficial.com

why should only 1 go there? Britney Spears' page has 2 websites listed. Fan4me (talk) 18:37, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

It's fixed. You can have one offical label site and one official fan club site. Maria202 (talk) 17:43, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

what do you mean it's fixed? there's still only kellyofficial.com listed. Fan4me (talk) 18:37, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Did you check where the links go or just look at the text? Maria202 (talk) 22:38, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

umm i dont exactly know what you mean by that so I'll say this: I mean the links should be in the info box at the top of the page next to "Website". Only kellyofficial.com is listed there. I know they're both listed at the bottom under "External Links" but it should be up there too. Fan4me (talk) 01:15, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Add Heritage

She is of Greek, Welsh, and Irish descent. She is bi-lingual and speaks the Greek language fluently. This is very well documented in numerous places (which a simple Google search will reveal). --Nikoz78 (talk) 23:32, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

If you can find a reliable source to verify her heritage and being able to speak Greek fluently, then you could add the information. Aspects (talk) 02:40, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

OMG i didnt know she could speak greek! Fan4me (talk) 18:19, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

No she cannot speak fluent Greek its just her ancestry that she has greek. stayg86 (talk) 17:26, 23 September 2010 (GMT) Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D18UsuIZ8hI on here she states that she doesnt speak greek.

hmm well then that person 4 messages above mine needs to fix their shtuff. Fan4me (talk) 01:17, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

5th Studio Album 2010-Present

Kelly Clarkson officially announced June 22nd 2010 on her twitter account that she has finished recording her 1st song for her 5th studio album. The song is also confirmed to be a duet with a unannounced artist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdealornodeal (talk • contribs) 20:55, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I think that SHOULD be added to the article, that she has confirmed to have recorded a duet for the next album. It IS confirmed and IS news. Fan4me (talk) 19:38, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Kelly confirmed on Twitter that the album will most likely be pushed back until early 2011 however she feels the first single off the album will be released before the end of the year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdealornodeal (talk • contribs) 01:03, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

social networks are not a reliable source under wikipedia guidelines. Very often a celebrity says something will happen, then it doesn't happen when they claim, or something totally different happens. Nothing is for certain until an official release is out from management or label (with a few exceptions. This includes thigns Kelly says (has has mentioned songs on albums in the past that never happened, singles that were never released because they were switched last minute, among other things). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of verifiable facts of the present and past, not the future Alan - talk 04:59, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Picture

I know there have been age-long debates in this talk page in years past when I was previous editor of this article under a different name, but can we please change the picture in the main article. It's terrible and worth considering. I move to change it to this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kelly_Clarkson_at_Joint_Reserve_Base_Naval_Air_Station_in_Fort_Worth_Texas.jpg

from the American Idol 1 page.

I'll leave this out there incase anyone has any better suggestions. Ball00naticFan (talk) 11:15, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Picture + Associated Acts

I have no idea how to change the recent pic (which is not her best one) ! here is a link of a nice and more recent one :

http://en.terra.com/addon/img/c7bd4c51-kelly-fight%20(6)p.jpg

( discription of the pic would be : Clarkson performing at the "Celebrity Fight Night" in March 2011 )

Could someone please change it ? thx =)

also, i'd also put Avril Lavigne and Pink (singer) as associated acts.
