Kelly does not need to lose weight, I think she is a stunning CURVY woman.

Is Slimane12 the same Slimane from Popjustice? And if not you SHOULD BE.

She still needs to lose weight. She looks bloated on that cover. Your a popstar Kelly! You are supposed to look better than your audience!

 

Kelly's never 'carried off' being a larger woman like Jhud did or Christina Hendricks does. She lacks their confidence. Kelly just looks rough.

She hardly looks big in the cover o.O And judging by pictures from a recent performance she looks absolutely FINE. http://www.kellypictures.net/albums/wpw-20110627/normal_134.jpg

 

And there's nothing wrong with a bit of junk in her trunk

Anyway.... apparently none of the leaked tracks will be on the album

I'm glad we've got more news now. If the album will be released worldwide at the same time, could we be seeing an X Factor slot for her? :D

I would assume for an artist like Kelly we would be getting the album around the same time. I would be shocked if we ended up getting it any later than the end of October/early November

I know they said that but I do wonder if (a retitled?) What Doesn't Kill You is on there. I bloody hope so anyway.

I'm assuming so. Before it leaked, I read somewhere that the writer of the track [Ali Tamposi] wrote somewhere saying that she's listening to the title track of Kelly's new album which ended up being What Doesn't Kill You.

She looks lovely on the single cover, much better than she has done recently.

Kelly Clarkson’s brand new album, Stronger, will be released October 25th. Kelly will be hosting a special live webcast August 30th on kellyclarkson.com to debut her new single, “Mr. Know It All.” RSVP to the event here. The song will be available for download everywhere on Sept. 5th, but if you pre-order your copy of Stronger now on Kelly’s Official Store the track will be automatically sent to you as soon as it’s available.

"everywhere" - UK as well I hope!

 

Yeah, I don't like the single cover at all.

 

We'll probably get it a week before the album on Oct 18 with an X Factor appearance, but I hope we get it on Sept 5 :)

^ I think US X Factor is highly likely but not the UK version...

 

RE leaked tracks - I would be more than happy if none of them turned up on the album. It just means more new tracks to listen to, won't stop me listening to my favourite leaked ones any less. In fact, if say my favourite 6 songs were on the album I would be annoyed that there would be less 'new' tracks.

Please do not bring that rubbish here no women needs to do anything about her size unless she wants to.If Kelly is happy in her own skin and confident that is all that matters.She sings and performs better than her audience and yes you did use the same argument constantly on Popjustice.

Looking forward to this release I hope her fanbase is still solid and se gets Top 10 in single and album.

But he's quite right. There's a certain expectation that comes with being a world class popstar. Would you be okay with Alexandra turning up for a concert dressed in her pyjamas and slippers, no make-up, no weave in, looking a total state? Unless you're going to aim for an audience that just want to be soothed by a classic ballad (Susan Boyle for example) you have to bring it with your image as much as your music and part of that in staying in shape.

I attend a concert to listen to the singer sing and perform, they could be wearing a bin liner, why would that matter to me.Adele,Angie Stone, Jill Scott are larger sized, would that make me enjoy them less as artists - no.Lissie has no stylist, that does not make her less of a singer.Kelly is not fat and it is a shame that she should be judged on that and not her voice.

I don't see a problem with Kelly's image, sure she's not that skinny but she's a beautiful woman. I don't care what she looks like anyway when she's that talented!

I think you're deluding yourself. Yes it's all very well to say 'it's all about the talent!' but realistically that is not the only part of being a popstar that matters. There's a reason Angie Stone and Jill Scott are not conquering the charts anymore - they haven't adapted to musical trends and being (A-) older and (B-) bigger than the current crop makes their image suffer. Younger people by and large won't idolise somebody who isn't trim and relatively young (ie below 40 or exceptionally beautiful if older than that).

Is someone actually trying to suggest image isn't all important in pop music?

I do agree that image is a very important factor, and Kelly does break the norm a bit by not being too skinny, I don't agree she's that ugly or fat though.

Nor do I, she was too fat about a year ago but she's lost a lot of weight since then and looks perfectly fine now. Sure she isn't stick thin, but that isn't an attractive look. Kelly is a gorgeous, normal woman.

Remember when she looked like this -

I agree that the single cover is truly horrendous, but on the other pictures she looks fine.

I personally would say she could do with shifting another stone to really look like a healthy but marketable popstar. She does look better than a year ago but there's still a lot of excess weight on her jaw and thighs.
