Kelly and Hillary, Kelly and Obama, Kelly and Cole

While googling myself I found a blog called Lisa's Blog with a subcategory on Kelly Clarkson; Lisa posts videos of Kelly singing a couple of old jazz-pop standards (voice a bit too heavy for 'em), posts live videos of Kelly's astonishingly great "Maybe" (the one I'd linked in my livejournal and another version from a couple of days later), and prints what seems to be the correct lyrics. Also prints photos of Kelly and other luminaries on Capitol Hill, and gushing praise from a Nashville exec who found her a delight to work with.

Kelly's "Maybe" could be my number one single of 2007, if it's released as a single.

I don't need to be fixed and I certainly don't need to be found
I'm not lost, I need to be loved, I just need to be loved

These words seem very right, though I'm not sure why. If she'd said the opposite, that would have been right too.

huh? LOL! I had to do a search to figure out he was talking about a Joan Jet song in that last line, but I think he likes it.

I like this blog. I really really wish she had a video of Kelly doing "Maybe" at the event. Perhaps it will surface one day.

And hey, nice quote:

"Not many people know what it takes to make music," Clarkson told ABC News. "They see my face, but there are a lot of people that make it happen."

So, step by step, award-winning producer Jimmy Jam took the audience through the recording ordeal. First, the songwriters and artist compose a melody and song. A producer finds the right musicians and engineers, and everyone else the producer believes will best represent the artist when the song is finalized.

Nice counter-Before the Music Dies moment.
