By far one of the most popular performances at this year's CMA Awards was Kelly Clarkson's soulful new collaboration with Vince Gill, her new country single 'Don't Rush' -- and for good reason. The song comes from a very passionate place inside of her.
Chris Young built an early lead and never looked back yesterday in the Showdown, both online and on Taste of Country Nights radio. The country crooner's new song 'I Can Take It From There' is as smooth as any he's released in recent years, and fans couldn't help but come back for seconds from the deep-voiced 27-year-old.
How do you convince a skeptical country audience that you're country? You get Vince Gill to sing and play guitar on your first true country single. That's what Kelly Clarkson did with 'Don't Rush,' a song she'll perform at the CMA Awards on Nov. 1. The pairing is magic.
Kelly Clarkson continues to dodge the inevitable marriage question, saying she and boyfriend Brandon Blackstock have a long-term future together without explaining why she wants to hold off on marriage. In an interview with Taste of Country Nights radio host Jeremy Robinson this week, the 2012 CMA Female Vocalist of the Year nominee explains why they're moving so slowly -- or at least slower than fans want them to.
No category at the 2012 CMA Awards will be as debated as the Female Vocalist of the Year category. The five women chosen this year range from pop to outlaw, with a sprinkle of traditional and a sniff of bubblegum. Kelly Clarkson is a first-time nominee, while Miranda Lambert is shooting for her third straight win in this category. Who do you think will win the Female Vocalist of the Year award at the CMAs?
Could Kelly Clarkson be getting engaged soon? Perhaps. She's been dating Nashville music industry executive Brandon Blackstock for several months, and the singer gushes that she's "completely head over heels for him."
It's that time of year: election season. Amidst debates, early voting and an onslaught of news reports about the presidential candidates, celebrities are choosing sides and Kelly Clarkson is among them. As an open supporter of gay marriage, the pop singer has gone on record saying that she'll vote for President Barack Obama on Nov. 6.
Kelly Clarkson has been slowly but surely creeping into the country music genre over her career, and it appears that trend will continue for the original 'American Idol'. On Clarkson's upcoming 'Greatest Hits - Chapter 1' CD, she's enlisted the vocal talents of country music legend Vince Gill.
Kelly Clarkson is celebrating the major milestone of 10 successful years as a recording artist with the release of 'Greatest Hits - Chapter 1,' the first hits compilation package from the very first winner of 'American Idol.' The album, which features the first radio single, 'Catch My Breath,' will be available in stores and at all digital retailers just in time for the holiday shopping season.
The performers for the 2012 CMA Awards have been announced, and the list contains some of the biggest names in country music today. The 46th Annual CMA Awards will broadcast live from Nashville on Nov. 1 at 8PM ET on ABC, hosted once again by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood.
Kelly Clarkson continues to inch closer to becoming a bona fide country music superstar, recently announcing plans to claim full-time residency in Nashville. Despite her allegiance to the Lone Star State, the current CMA Awards nominee has placed her Texas estate on the market, and is currently in the process of finding a home in Music City.
Kelly Clarkson continues to rock country music covers at the request of her fans. Most recently, she put on a rendition of a true classic country tune. At a gig in Indianapolis on Sunday night (Sept. 2), Clarkson gave Tammy Wynette‘s ‘Stand by Your Man’ the special treatment.
