Kelly Clarkson... — Page 2

Yeah, in a nutshell.

---

Eeee! I'd love her to. She's my favorite person in the world. I've met her, she's a DOLL.

*self promo kellybrianne.com* :)

I would just like to say that I do like her last CD.

However, you can't just think that because she's a great singer, you can put her on a Broadway stage and hope for the best. She has to ACT while she's up there as well and from what I've seen, she does NOT have the ability to pull it off. And based on live performances she's done in recent months, she barely has the vocal ability anymore and definitely couldn't make it 8 times a week.

There's more than enough American Idols in Rent already and I honestly can't see her as Maureen.

Anybody else see Kelly as Belle?

I could also see her pulling off an Eponine, or any role in Hair or Godspell.

I think she'd be great on Broadway. Some may doubt her acting abilities, but many of today's performers on Broadway are singers that are chosen fot heir voices not their acting abilities. The directors can teach someone to act (just about sufficiently) in a short period, but they can't teach them to sing.

Acting can always be improved.

I love Kelly to death, went to see her concert twice. Crazy high belter... and I just love her.

Bring her to Broadway, as long as she's ready, I think there will be a lot of audiences who will be ready too.

I agree about the Maureen comments, and I think she could probably kick ass as Eponine. Any role involving crazy belting and lots of feeling.

Maybe her acting isn't phenomenal right now, but she has never really had a chance to showcase it besides in her music videos and in TheMovieWeShallNotMention. She may not be a lost cause, and if that's the case, it might be nothing a rigorous amount of acting classes and practice can't cure.

How about Elphaba?

Kelly Clarkson in Les Mis the movie?! Over my dead body. Her name belongs nowhere near one of the most brilliant pieces of literature of all time, especially when it's immortalized on film.

And I'm perfectly aware of the difference between "acting" and "stage presence". Kelly has neither ability at this point, so just because she might possibly potentially be good if she's placed in acting classes to help her learn, doesn't convince me.

By this theory, if you placed ANYONE in the right classes, they could make it on a Broadway stage, when this quite obviously isn't the case. Why is Kelly so much more special than all the thousands of musical theater graduates across the nation? Because she won a reality show? Please.

I think she'd be good. I dunno if she can act tho, but if she can then ya.

I would love to see Kelly on Broadway someday. I am not sure if she can act, but I don't think it is fair to judge her ability on "From Justin to Kelly". The best actress in the world wouldn't have been able to do anything with that horrible script.

I also think Kelly has done a lot more than winning American Idol at this point. Her cd has been amazingly successful and she has garnered recognition well past the tv show.

BTW, her voice is in great shape. The video below is from last week in the UK:
Because of You - Top of The Pops UK

I don't care what anybody says: I am an advocate for the Kelly Clarkson as Elphaba campaign.
