There's More To Love Of Kelly Clarkson


We love Kelly Clarkson, but she looks like she's put a little junk in the trunk - and not in a Kim Kardashian good way. She performed for the "Good Morning America" summer concert series on Friday looking a little dumpy. What do you think? See photos of a thinner and thicker Kelly after the jump...

  • I'm a fan of Kelly's and went to 5 concerts on the las tour but her weight gain really makes me sad. It is like she doesn't care about her looks or her health. She can lie to herself and say she doesn't care about her weight but looks are a big part of her appeal and being overweight isn't going to help her career. I hope she takes care of this problem before the next album.

  • Shes not like any other celeb. she seems to be the only one without any problems. Is that why you're saying she's "a little dumpy"...Is it because you're searching for something 'negative' to say about her?

    She's beautiful. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, no one has to be uber skinny to be beautiful, and those people that try to make uber skinny the image to follow make me sick. No one should have to follow an image. Everyone is different. To those of you who think only skinny people are beautiful, you are truly an ugly person inside.

  • She's not fat. She is normal sized. Does anyone actually realize that the average size of a USA woman is a size 14? She is no bigger than that. Also to mention that she is petite and that usually makes such people look heavier than they are. And besides, with a voice like that why does it matter? When people bring up Aretha Franklin, do they refer to her size more or her great voice? Also keep in mind that Mariah was also a bit heavy at one point and still isn't stick thin. Kelly has a damn good voice. If one don't like seeing her then don't watch, and just listing will be worth the while.

    What I do find kind of funny actually is that even with all of this weight controversy surrounding her and people saying that they don't like her appearance, she attracted a huge crowd. Isn't that kind of ironic? GMA themselves stated that she attracted the biggest crowd so far. More people than any other performer for the series has this summer. More people wanted to SEE her than anyone else.

  • Kelly is a great role model. What does conditioner and a little bit of makeup have to do with that.??? She is a strong, outspoken, intellegent, caring, comfortable with herself person. She doesn't let people push her around. Go Kelly!!!! Keep being you.

  • Kelly,please have your hair conditioned and apply at least a little makeup, and yes just eat healthy--and be the role model you say you want to be and care about how you look. Young girls need self esteem and being overweight does not help. Do it for your fans!!!!

    • Really? I personally think that she glows of self esteem. If she didn't she would be more of a fembot. Also, a few months back she hosted one of dove's self esteem workshops for young girls.

      So yea, put on that make-up and get stick thin for the sake of all little girls. They don't need to look up to normal people, that would ruin them. Aspiring to be another fembot is exactly what they need.

      Oh, and for those that do sink into being a "fembot", they're the ones with the low self esteem. How is not being comfortable being yourself good self esteem? If the fembots were comfortable in their own skin then they wouldn't sink into what everyone else wants them to be rather than what they want. There are plenty of celeb stories out there about going through this issue and realizing how stupid they were once they realized they had the problem.

  • Kelly Clarkson is beautiful. I do not know why people are saying she is fat. I think she looks adorable. Her voice is so amazing, who cares if she is not a skinny stick. I saw her in concert on Saturday night and she is so talented. What an awesome show. She rocked the house. You can see the joy in her while she is performing. What a down-to-earth, kind, and extremely talented person she is. Fame has not changed her, and I think that is great. I love her just the way she is.

  • OMG you people need to just realize that shes not fat! That right there is a NORMAL sized girl!!!! Which is somthing that people in the "biz" don't seem to understand. You guys should be saying "hey Kelly looks like a normal sized girl and thats what people should look up to." There are people out there who suffer from eating dissorders because of the need to be skinny..and kelly is going against that

  • I think people will continue to complain about her weight for as long as she refuses to buy clothing that fit her body. People have every right to comment on her weight, she's a public figure putting herself out there in a public forum. It's not like they went and stole private pictures of her and posted them here. She looks and unhealthy mess and that's all I see when she performs is that huge body in tight clothing.

    • Nobody is forcing you to look, if it bothers you so much, just listen, it's worth it. Like Kelly has said, "when you focus on being happy with who you are, life gets a whole lot easier." It's not bothering her, so, it shouldn't bother you.

  • Are people really complaining about her weight again? This makes me sick that people really base everything on looks instead of talent. The perfect example is when Ann Wilson from Heart started gaining weight...people blasted her for that...and look at her now, still popular and still touring with her sister and band being heart. That goes to show that when the going gets tough, true fans are there for you. Go Kelly, you are a beautiful person and girl with a lot of talent!

    • She is fat, but not scary fat like Ann Wilson is today. And while Annie may still be one of the best rock singers of all time, can you honestly say that her weight gain didn't play a major role in Heart's decline from superstar status in the early 90's? Like it or not, appearance is an important factor for a rock or pop star.
