Right, Kelly doesn't have that "bad girl" image and she is successful at Pop, which is what I was saying. I wouldn't want Kat to try to sound like her either, just to be herself rather than trying to fit in to someone else's mold. She needs her own style. She's got the voice. With the right songs, the right beat, she would be the bomb! I'm not saying it wouldn't take time and a full time effort on her part, but I really think it would work.
If I had to find an example right now to prove my point, I guess I would pick Elliott Yamin. You can't tell me this guy is a "bad boy" with the sexy moves. He has taken a nice voice and a quiet personality and peddled it to as many as three radio stations a day all summer long. He has taken what he has and worked very hard at promoting himself as a singer and it seems to be paying off. I don't really like his current music that much, but I have to admit that what he is doing is working. Look at Mediabase 24/7 if you don't believe me...and he isn't immitating Justin Timberlake! ...or anyone else that I am aware of. He seems to be on his way to becoming a successful recording artist being himself and working hard at that objective.
I'm not sure what Katharine wants.
She has talked up every song she has performed, from BOA at the rose parade, Over It, Love Story. Of course she must talk them up when they are current. Then afterwards she has trashd Over It. She initially said that this was exactly the album she wanted to make but then later she has indicated at least half of it is not of her choice and she had to compromise.
She is (mostly) being diplomatic and trying not to say anything too negative about her own album.
I find it hard to believe that after 20 years of musical training an by the songs she chose to sing on Idol that her first choice o new music to make would be a lot tracks bought "off the rack" and then overproduced in the studio by people who's main talent is to make people without any talent sound good.
Anway, that is mostly what she got! I'm sure she would have been swayed by all of these experts in the studio.
It isn't even that the songs are bad, just the over done arrangements. These same songs done more like we have heard them in VH1 and AOL sessions would have been a better showcase for her talent.
Of course then some say those would have bombed even worse.
Anyway, I just hope the next record takes a very different tack and she decides not to try to be the next Britney or Beyonce or Fergie.
Hah - I didn't know Paul Anka was Lebanese.
That performance was a cry for help. Britney is saying "look at me - I'm fat, I have no energy, I can't dance, I can't even lip synch, I'm hopeless, help me".
She became too famous too soon in life. And she hasn't yet learned the lesson that Katharine has already learned - Your career is just what you do, not who you are. When she grew out of being a "teen sex symbol" she lost herself.
Makes me almost glad for Katharine's limited success so far. She is going to have to work for it and appreciate everthing she gets and not just have it all handed to her like Britney did based on youth and looks.
And thanks to Mama Peisha for having the wisdom not to have forced Katharine to perform at an early age but to let her grow up fairly normally and experience all the let downs and disapointments in life that we all do.
As if Britney's performance wasn't bad enough, she was again photographed getting into a car *commando* after the show. She is not crying for help. She is screaming for it.
She already has, the paparazzi caught her next pantyless peep show leaving the the VMAs last night. Check the most tasteless blogs near you for pictures and video.
Oh, you meant music.
Not necessarily. I've been a fan of Brit's since her first album and I am going to continue to do so. If she wants to go commando, that's her business.
I worked with her on one of her first tours and she was as sweet and nice to me as anyone could be, so I'm not about to knock anyone while they're down. She's going through a tough time right now, but if anyone can come back, it's her.
I don't expect anyone to feel the same way, it's just the way I feel.
Britney's numbers don't lie. Hmmmm... Let me see; I'll go out on a limb here, but I bet the "train wreck" Britney new release outsells Kat's CD in probably a week or less.
I like Katharine; but there is plenty of room for other artists as well. She is not the only artist on the face of the planet.
I see no useful purpose in trash talking Britney. If you don't care for her, that is fine, but let us keep this discussion above board.
