Kelly Clarkson's album sales go up after Ron Paul controversy

Yesterday, Kelly Clarkson innocently posted her opinion of political figure Ron Paul on twitter, saying, "I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he’s got my vote. Too bad he probably won’t."

That one tweet got Kelly a lot of hate on twitter, at which Kelly shot back at a few hateful tweets, then later posted this response, "I am really sorry if I have offended anyone. Obviously that was not my intent. I do not 
support racism. I support gay rights, straight rights, women’s rights, men’s rights, white/black/purple/orange rights. I like Ron Paul because he believes in less government and letting the people (all of us) make the decisions and mold our country. That is all. Out of all of the Republican nominees, he’s my favorite."


Today, upon the controversy going down, Kelly's album sales are going up! What was #41 jumped to #13 on Amazon's Movers and Shakers, Kelly's latest album Stronger has just climbed to #2 on the Best Sellers.

Album Review: Kelly Clarkson - Stronger

Kelly Clarkson's new album Stronger is officially out today, and it's definitely one of my favorites albums from her. Kelly gets deep and personal in these pop rock songs like "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)" and "Dark Side", softens into ballads like "Standing In Front of You" and "Breaking Your Own Heart" and goes a little R&B in "Why Don't You Try."  With a voice full of power and emotion in these catchy and relatable songs, Kelly keeps her honesty and respected edge, and shows just how much stronger she's become.

You can read my review of Kelly single "Mr. Know It All" HERE.

Kelly Clarkson leaks her own songs!

Just a week before her new album Stronger drops and among all of the leaking songs, Kelly has decided to leak some official versions for all her fans! This week she posted the official album versions of "Dark Side" and "You Love Me".

This upbeat, but deep song starts off with an almost haunting melody and turns into a full on rock ballad. Kelly sings, Will you love me even with my dark side? I've always enjoyed the trueness and relatability in Kelly's songs, and this is just another one to add to the list.


"You Love Me" is a classic Kelly pop rock song with a catchy beat, genuine lyrics and an inspiring raucousness in her voice.

Song Review: Kelly Clarkson - What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)

Among a few leaked versions of Kelly Clarkson's new song "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)", Kelly decided to take charge and premiere the official version of the song on her website, saying, "Hey ya'll - I heard that some versions of "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)" started showing up online. My new album 'Stronger' is out in 3 weeks (Oct 24) and I want you to hear the real thing! Check it out!"

Bouncing off the album title Stronger, "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)" goes back to the rock vibe we all know and love from Kelly. This song showcases Kelly's powerhouse voice and gives you that same old Kelly feel, compared to the deep "Mr. Know It All". With such a contrast between those two songs, I think they give you a real feel of what this album is going to be.

With a meaningful message and a fun, upbeat sound, I think Kelly is stronger than ever in this song!

Song Review: Kelly Clarkson - Mr. Know It All

Kelly Clarkson is back and better than ever! "Mr. Know It All" is the first single off of Kelly's new album Stronger, due out in October. As she says in the song, "You don't know a thing about me" Well, I definitely didn't know a thing about this side of Kelly! She seems to have taken it down a notch, different from her singles in the past, this song is less rock and instead is deep and powerful with more of a message.

In my opinion, I like this sound from Kelly a lot better than her usual loud, rock songs. This song is softer and Kelly's voice sounds more fierce, bringing the sass, but still in a profound way.

Judging by this song, it seems this album may be a little deeper, and definitely stronger!
