Hearing Ted Leo's "Since You've Been Gone" Cover

Kelly Clarkson: An Idle 'Idol'

We Endorse Spying on IMs: Sneak a peek at our watercooler conversation, cut and pasted straight from our IMs, then join in below. 

TheCoolerBlog: kelly clarkson's not the sweet little gal I remember dueting with justin guarini
TheCoolerBlog: now she's got 'TUDE Clarkson Deals With 'American Idol' Past
TheCoolerBlog:  if kelly clarkson recorded Exile on Main Street, I can understand not wanting to say you're a tv show winner. hell, you record Exile and you can do whatever you want
TheCoolerBlog: but no one will remember Since You've been Gone in two years
LouderThanaBlog: great pop song though
LouderThanaBlog:  just ask ted leo
KoolerMoeDee: she's lost the skunk stripes in her hair, and added a legitimate rock song to her repertoire
DishUpontheStars: Ted Leo - Since You've Been Gone
TheCoolerBlog:  yep, this cover IS great


Message From Justin To Kelly: You Don't Call, You Don't Write (Getty)

KoolerMoeDee:  that, and she's looking quite good as of late. even her ballads don't suck
KoolerMoeDee: 
that much
LouderThanaBlog:
i'm all for paying respects to those who got you where you are, but it's nothing new to hear that 'Idol' reams their artists
LouderThanaBlog:
and completely controls everything they do
LouderThanaBlog:
so i think she's just trying to distance herself from the man
TheCoolerBlog: but she's gotta respect that in her case the man deleted the cocktail waitress inside of her


Time to Come Clean: Will Kelly Clarkson always be most famous as an 'American Idol' champion? Should current 'Idol' constestants be allowed to since Clarkson songs?

    Hello? if anyone would say any other Idol would even come CLOSE to Kelly's standards, I'd be fairly shocked. Kelly is a fantastic singer and she's leading an even better career. I mean, who even cares about Justin? ANy one even have an idea what he's doing? ANd Bo must be back at his garage band. I think Kelly is a wonderful singer and I can't wait for her CD to come out this year.

    I think Kelly Clarkson will be the only remembered as the "American Idol" champion. She was the first and she's got the farthest. Know one cares about Ruben or Fantasia or the other losers.

    I VOTE FOR THE GUY AS KELLY SOUNDS LIKE SHE IS SCREAMING AND NOT REALLY SINGING.

    Kelly had released her songs all alone..there was just some paperwork issues...The american idol producer said he wasnt even sure kelly was aware that they wanted to use her songs...Kellys management said she was excited to hear SInce you been gone on idol and didn't mind releasing her songs...Simon just jumped the gun, or at least intended to do so for publicity...Isnt it ironic how the who incident occured when the 5 season just aired that same week...It was a big publicity that broadcast to the world saying "season 5 is on, go watch it"..indirectly of course....Now that simon has created publicity, a lot of the kelly haters are out there to destroy her..LOL..do you guyz have anything better to do??...A carrie underwood fan or clay fan calling kelly ungrateful, wow what a surprise..not!...kelly has been working with the march of dimes, ronald mc donalds charity, promoted the hurrican katrina relief, Gave a free concert to her fans because she had bronchitis in the past, and has signed autpgraphs no matter where she went..unlike some other celebs who could care less...Also she said to the associated press that idol will be engraved in her tombstone and she is OK with that...She just wants people to see her an artist....Does christina aguilera, justin timberlake, and britney speares always rave about being on a disney show and star search...Its a part of their upbringing but it doesnt define who they are...How bout celine dion?? She never mentions to the press about her victory in a European talent show..Kelly is the kindest celebrity out there who actually has only nice things to say...Its so hard for tabloids to find dirt on her or even make up one because she is just down to earth and sweet....If that is having an attitude, then i think everyone needs one.
