Kelly Clarkson breaking away at The Pearl
You like Kelly Clarkson because she’s like you.
Well, you’re not exactly the same.
She can sing and people enjoy being in her presence.
But other than those obvious differences, the point is, Clarkson’s a lot more relatable than most pop divas.
She doesn’t possess the pinup physiques of the Britneys and Katy Perrys of the world, Barbie dolls let loose from their packaging.
Nor does she radiate the icy cool detachment of Beyonce or Rihanna.
Instead, Clarkson is all aiming-to-please energy and enthusiasm, giving big voice to songs about refusing to be a doormat while acknowledging that she’s occasionally been just that.
And, she seems to really enjoy and appreciate her position as a pop star.
Just like you would, right?
