"American Idol's" Kelly Clueless

"American Idol" may have made her a huge star -- but Kelly Clarkson barely seems to realize it's still on TV!


Miss Independent was at the Burbank airport Saturday night, where paps asked her about "A.I." She hasn't seen the new crop of contestants yet, and probably doesn't even know she actually had a chance encounter with one of the contestants back when she was on the show.

19. I like Kelly, she is awesome and very down to earth. I don't think stardom has changed her at all and who care if she does keep up with American Idol. She has better things to do!! I did not think it was necessary to ask her about Britney Spears though!!

20. This is a non-story. She answered your questions. She was polite and pleasant. She is doing quite well. Don't try and create some negatitivity about someone with that outrageous misleading headline. This is the kind of "reporting," that have turned much of America against the media- particularly the type like this just looking for anything to create a negatitive story. I would the person who made this headline should be ashamed. But, I am sure, they don't know the meaning of the word.

22. Good God! What the Hell? Did Clive DAvis pay you and that idiot Perez Hilton to bash Kelly for no damn reason. She's been on tour all summer herself, then this fall and winter with Reba, Now on tour in Australia and Europe, then back to start another set of concerts with Reba -- and she has time to watch TV when?? She's sweet, honest, down to earth, and a helluva incredible singer. What? You're upset cause she's not like the sluts Lindsey? Britney? Paris?? Give me a break. Drop it, move on, get over your jealousy.

24. Wow, how misleading is that headline?!! You're trying to make an issue out of a non-issue...who cares if she watched American Idol or not?! She's on tour and has been for the last year. Every time American Idol comes on she happens to be on tour … in fact, the one year she wasn't, she DID watch it (she even predicted that Jordan would win). She herself said that American Idol was where she got her start and that she is VERY proud of that. If you people would do your research and get your facts straight, you would know that.

Btw Idol didn't make her a huge star. Her second album "Breakaway" made her a huge star. She became famous around the world (the only idol to do so) NOT because of American Idol (the first season wasn't shown in other countries) but on her own merits. Simon Cowell himself said that if it wasn't for Kelly, Idol wouldn't have survived...Kelly made the show huge; they did NOT make her a huge star. If this is the best you can dig up on her...that's just sad.

You're probably just upset because she is one of only a few stars who stay out of the lens of your camera and won't dignify the Britney question with an answer you want ... and that just eats you alive.

25. They Promised The Moon, The Stars, And Heaven Above. And just like Charlie Brown I got a rock.

As a songwriter who's parents were songwriters, like them I write because I love it. It's never been about the money. But when the NUMBER ONE SHOW ON TELEVISION says they're looking for some amateur to write the Next Great American Idol Finale Song. Wow! The first thing that crossed my mind was.....MILLIONS! Millions of people. Millions of cd's. Millions of dollars. Millions. I'm betting I'm not the only one.......of Millions.

It's Time For Some Answers!
This is the second year in a row that American Idol has had a songwriting contest. Since the contest ended last year I've researched the contestants from last year and this year....FYI there were over 25,000 entries last year at $10.00 for each song. 20 songs were then chosen out of the 25,000 for an online vote. The winner's song is then performed on the American Idol Finale. The problem I have is that one of THIS years Top 20 Songwriting Finalist is a Co-writer of LAST years Top 20 Songwriting Winner. Somebody from American Idol has some explaining to do.

If you want proof of fraud.
