Kelly Clarkson on Broadway — Page 4

I don't know if she can act, but if she were gonna do a musical she obviously would put in the effort and work on the acting.

I'm sure she would try, but in the preview (available on demand on TW Cable) for the Robin Williams' pilot, Miss Clarkson says (and I quote), "I suck at acting."

So there's that.

Ellen in Miss Saigon

Let's not forget that "From Justin to Kelly" was also Anika Noni Rose's film debut.

^^^ She is great in the throat and in the eyes, but notice how they film the entire number in close up and compare it to Bette Midler's version in FOR THE BOYS.

They are both great pop singers, but the difference is Midler "sings" from head to toe; Clarkson sings from the neck up.

Of course, the AI clip is old. I have no idea (except her own words) what Clarkson might do today. She's toured a lot since her AI days.

New example of Kelly singing Broadway material...

For those that haven't heard her new (and extraordinary) Christmas record, here's her big band take on 'My Favorite Things' from that album:

And in this Billboard cover story about the album, there is a vague reference to a possible Broadway album in 2014:

"To the Texan native who'll be celebrating her second Christmas at her Nashville home with Blackstock, the album represents a sort of second phase for her career. The new year will bring pop and country releases, as well as a potential Broadway album. In a way, her Christmas CD represents a break from her past and a sampler of what's to come-like the holiday itself."

If you like her "big band sound" get her new Christmas album. It's incredible. And her rendition, as posted above, of "My Favorite Things" is incredible. And the note she hits in "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" is pretty spectacular.
