Kelly Clarkson Covers Madonna’s “Crazy For You”
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
Current chart ruler Kelly Clarkson was apparently in the mood for a little old-school Madonna recently. (Not surprising, given that the two performed at the Super Bowl on Sunday.) During a tour stop in Bossier City, Louisiana, the Stronger singer took a fan request and belted out a cover of Madge's ballad "Crazy For You". Kelly said of the audience pick, "We've been doing this on tour, because I got here from fans voting for me ten years ago. So it's still cool that you all are involved in my show."

Wed Feb 8 2012 by Robbie Daw
Adele may still be the top diva on Billboard's Top 200 album chart, but over on the Hot 100 she's been bumped off by Kelly Clarkson. The two Grammy nominees trade places as Adele's third 21 single "Set Fire To The Rain", which previously spent two weeks at #1, now cedes the peak position to Super Bowl singer Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)". This marks the American Idol winner's third chart-topper, following 2002's "A Moment Like This" and 2009's "My Life Would Suck Without You".

Wed Feb 1 2012 by Idolator Staff

Tue Jan 31 2012 by Becky Bain
As her song "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" heats up the Hot 100, Kelly Clarkson has her sights set on her next single. According to Kelly-Clarkson.net, the pop star's next single off her album Stronger will be uptempo tune "I Forgive You". Kelly made the announcement at a recent concert in Johnstown, Pennyslvania, and after blasting ex-beaus and Mr. Know It Alls, it's nice to hear the singer not hold a grudge against a former flame. Listen to "I Forgive You" below. UPDATE: We're hearing that Kelly most likely said no such thing at that particular concert in regards to her third single, though a fan claims the singer told him "Dark Side" would be her next single. So basically... we'll just have to wait til we hear it straight from Kelly! More »
