Kelly Clarkson is a hypocrite

Ruben disappeared after going the easy, Christian music market; Fantasia was a shrieking joke; Carrie went on home to the 'backwoods' to be largely ignored because of her music genre; and Clay, even though he didn't win, has been the subject of scary rumors and has even written a book. Compared to the others, Kelly has definitely been the most successful of all from American Idol. Her second album, Breakaway, is a decent album. I actually have it and like most of it, although it does get a bit repetitious after halfway through the songs (not even close to being as bad as Avril is at sounding the same over and over). Surprisingly, she only wrote on a few of the songs, but now wants to act like she was the god of them all. She and her reps were refusing to allow other Idol hopefuls to perform her songs for the show that gave her all. Simon blasted her in the press (that's the time the press used), although I have heard him blast Idol hopefuls worse than the story I read from the A.P. Kelly Clarkson would still be performing crappy songs with a mediocre band in a trashy bar for tips (and working there during the week at night) if not for the American public and their phones. What an ungrateful little pinup. Unfortunately, it's not too surprising to me. It's not like she's the first self-centered person in the U.S. She has since 'changed her mind', which of course means her publicist told her that she looks like an idiot, people are starting to hate her, and we can only remember hearing her voice singing 'her' songs. That of course brings up another issue which I will rant on at another time: the Nashville hit machine and how songwriters are undervalued. Yeah, way to go Kelly, you worked so much harder than all of the other successful artists/bands. You really put The Police to shame, since you performed at places like CBGB's where maybe only 3 people showed up, slept in vans during tours, and didn't even have enough money at times to support your family or buy yourself a cup of coffee. I am sure your success had nothing to do with you being an attractive, young lady with a pretty smile which you used to charm America; the same people you snapped on with the 'better than thou' stance which you have taken. Shame, shame, shame on you, you ungrateful "Breakaway". What's happened to you "Since You've Been Gone". (Yes, I am a huge Police fan; the were one of the best bands ever they worked their selves into the ground to get a break even after Sting's songs were rejected by both the UK and US.)
