brief interjection

it's 2:08 on a sunday morning but i finally need to share this

right so i'm probably like kelly clarkson's #8 or #9 Fan, so unlike all the haters in the media, i'm only saying this because i want to see her be successful in a way she used to be, that she is not now.

she is overweight.

i think it's one thing for somebody to be overweight for their age and height, but the issue with kelly clarkson is that her occupation is "being a popstar." the simple truth is that part of being a popstar heavily involves maintaining your image. and if not that, at bare minimum making yourself healthy.

after she won american idol, she lost some weight and made an image for herself...that combined with her incredible voice and the perfect songs made her the #1 artist of 2005:

HOT.

i'm not at all saying that everybody needs to go diet and be super skinny...but when you're trying to sell the music she sells, in her genre, with her fans, it's kind of part of the job.

this would be her now:

POPSTAR WITH 5 #1 HITS?

why does this bother me? because beyonce & lady gaga & pink & all the rest of them will continue to steal her old spot in the industry as long as she continues to ignore her appearance.

she is still my 2nd favorite artist...i love her music and i revere her talent. and i will keep going to her shows. i simply wish she would realize that being in shape is an OK thing to put effort into...especially in the pop music industry.

is this valid, or am i so vain like david geffen?

i can't believe i actually miss the screaming 13 year old girls who all wanted to be her.
