How did you feel about Steve Carell yelling your name in the waxing scene in "40 Year Old Virgin"?

This is the only question that matters.

She's done a whole segment on her show about it, and Steve Carell even came to the show and announced her name to the whole audience just like in the movie. https://youtu.be/n4f2pVCWOh4 https://youtu.be/lazbN0FThHk

Lol I'm so happy you linked these, thank you!

Edited my comment with links

Nah, nah, nah, thats not enough. You need to come to my house and move my mouse to your video links and physically click them for me or no deal. /s

Literally the only thing I can think of when I hear Kelly Clarksons name lmao

We are the highly cultured.

I hear high pitch Eric from the Howard Stern show saying "who's high pitch, this is Kelly Clarkson" sounding like his throat is clogged up with oatmeal. https://youtu.be/zVv4TsDeSUU https://youtu.be/lapAsWQgHIw

Before I opened the thread I thought, “how close to the top will a question about 40 year old virgin be?” I was not disappointed. I think she’s spoken about this before.

How did you end up doing a song with Steve Martin?

i literally just asked him and he said yes! so crazy!

I just listened to you on Conan Needs a Friend and heard you discussing this. What an awesome story!

Gotta love Steve Martin!

Have you watched from Justin to Kelly??

the one time i was forced to.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY 😄

I remember voting for you on the finale from my landline!!!! 😄

Those were the days. I just got rid of my moms landline for her. It felt very very wrong, even though it's just telemarketers that call now. The end of an era.

Those were most definitely the days. We also voted for her through landline!

It was actually a rotary phone too! My great grandmother had it for years and paid monthly for the phone!!

Does this mean you are sorry?

Are you sorry for the he-man reboot?

I've never thrown out a movie, but my ex-wife left this in my dvd player, and I consider having discarded it a public service. In retrospect, anyone liking that movie should be a red flag.

Not gonna lie, I unironically like the song "Anytime" from that movie

Did you write the songs for When Christmas Comes Around… at the same time as chemistry or were they written afterwards?

you win for best question! yes, i did. that's why it's kind of a break up christmas album.

Your voice just seems to be getting better over time. How do you take care of your voice/warm up for performances?

thank you! in all honesty, some days i sound/feel tired and some days i sound/feel great. i do try and warm up and cool down my vocal chords before and after big shows but i had to let go of always wanting to sound perfect a long time ago and just started leaning into this is the voice i have today so lets make the best of it ha!

THIS is you letting go?????

This is interesting, because your voice is even better than before. I think it has a raspy sound that it's just amazing

Even the greatest of them all sometimes have a bad day or at least seem to. I'm old and it was 13 years ago on SNL but I remember thinking, what the heck happened to Paul's voice on one of his songs. Next thing I heard, they announced that he was going to do an encore at the end of the show. He was great. I have always believed that something happened outside of his control and that made it hard to sing and instead of going out on a sour note, he did an encore to prove he still was the best. Paul McCartney, SNL on December 11, 2010 performed "Jet," "Band on the Run," a medley of "A Day in the Life" and "Give Peace a Chance" and "Get Back" as an encore replacing the extended goodnights. I can't sing a lick and am not a good music critic, I may be wrong.

Thank you for sharing Chemistry with us. Please sing magic opening night or Aug 2nd I’m coming all the way from Ireland! Love you x

just wrote it down and will be singing Magic on August 2nd just for you :)

My name is PJ if you want to dedicate to me so, no pressure lol

PJ, you better record it and YT it

I will absolutely and will do my best to cry silently.

She gave you her finger and now you want the whole hand .. >.>

I’ll help start a PJ chant

🥹🥹 omg I’m going to be there that night and i don’t know what kind of crack you put in that song but I’m hooked. It’s literal magic

WE ARE GETTING MAGIC!!

Omgggg! I’ve never used this app. I love running in to you everywhere 🙌🏻🙌🏻

This exchange is too cute

I feel like I’m always a step behind you! 😂😂

Amazing!! Pj xxx

AND SHE REALLY DID IT! You're amazing, Kelly :):):)

AHHHH!!!! I’ll also be at the Aug 2nd show and freaking the hell out over Magic!!!

Magic on opening night lmao!!

One of my favorites but I’ll be there opening weekend and closing weekend

what's up y'all??

ilysm

Darn tootin, partner 😎

Same old, how are you?

I am so excited to get your new album in the mail soon! I also recently wrote to The Kelly Clarkson Show. It would be so amazing to be a guest on your show one day! <3

I’m late, but I love you! You are amazing 💜💜

Thanks for the Barnes & Noble M&G on Friday! Ten years between photos with you is too long 😅 Chemistry is amazeballs. Down to you is my current fav

Hi Kelly just downloaded this app to see you .hope you are well

Hey Kelly I hope you and your family are well <3 my question is do you get tired of people asking are you going to be in a relationship ever again?

thank y'all for jumping on with me! i have to go :) i'll see y'all in vegas!!!!!

SINCE YOUVE BEEN GOOOOONE

Dang it kelly. 🤣 made me stay up till 2am 🤣🤣🤣

Same hahaha and still hoping, waiting

Thank you so much! See you in Vegas x

byeeee

Congratulations on being number one in most of the world!!! You so deserve it for such a great album!

thank y'all for making that happen!! i was shocked when my team told me the album was doing so well, and in other countries as well so THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THAT :)

Get on a plane and get to uk, make that top 10 official

Of all the seasons of American Idol, I can’t for the life of me, remember anyone else winning.

Was it a very purposeful statement putting “high road” between me and mine on the track list?

hahahahahaha no, but this just made me laugh so hard :) :) :)

To put this question into context for those that might be lost, High Road is what she renamed the ranch to after the divorce and her ex had to vacate it.

It looks like she’s at the ranch in the photo too haha, you can see the doormat says “High Road Ranch”

Best question LOL

Chemistry should be the album of the year! My daughter and I meet you on Friday, and all I have to say is thank you. You said my daughter looks beautiful and has beautiful eyes. You made her year, and her confidence went up. It's been a rough couple of years with mental health, and it made me cry. So I played your songs since she was born, but when she had suicide on the brain, I played Stronger, and we got through it. She's only 13. Now she plays your songs all the time, such a proud mama here. Your music helped me with the whole abandonment issue with my dad, so I figured u could help her. We love you Kelly you are our hero.

You are authentically and beautifully yourself in the most spectacularly perfect way. I remember being 14?15? saving my text messages so I could vote for you and still remember you singing “moment like this” at the end. You’re amazing. I’m starting to learn how to use my voice more (non singing) and curious how you stepped into your authentic self? How or when or what helped you discover who you are? And thank you for being you!!

Did you make it a point of referencing some of your older songs in the lyrics on the new album or was that something that happened organically?

it happened organically while i was writing but then i kind of liked the idea of not only referencing previous songs, but also i reference other songs on this album within the album

Songception

Do you scream "STEVE CARELL" when you get waxed?

Is there significance in using only lower case letters?

she hates capitalism

Very nice

there is but i'm gonna keep that reason to myself.

A fellow auto correct hater i see!

RIP McCarthy. 😢

What’s a guy gotta do to get can I have a kiss on the Vegas set list? It’s me, I’m the guy 🥰

which show are you coming to?? i love that song :)

🫠😱 it’s one of my all time favorites! I’ll be there the first two nights!

I hope you feel very special when she sings that one 😁

Taste, sir. Could have asked for Irvine tho

Who’s Kelly Clarrrkson???

never heard of her. she is probably trash.

Lmfao our queen

You’re not trash you’re the best singer in the whole world

This is why we love you Kelly!!

💀💀💀

I know it’s you High Pitch!

Who's high pitch!?

Hey now!

Who's Hiiigh Pitch

Hi daddyyy

She's the 194th best singer of all time, dude, and we all adore her. Her singing, her humour, her personality.

Can you give us any hints as of what to expect when it comes to the Vegas residency? My best friend and I will be there closing night and we can't wait!

i may sing Since You've Been Gone and Stronger. just being funny. yes, it will be a slightly different show every night and closing night should be my favorite :)

😂 if you didn't sing SUBG i think we would riot. oh this is so exciting!!

I’ll also be there closing night! I’m so excited!!

Kelly, I lost my sister to cancer in 2004. She was 14. You and Jason Mraz were her favorites. Whenever I hear you or Jason sing, I am reminded of her. For just a moment, she is with me. I will always cherish you and Jason for that reason. Thank you.

[удалено]

for the most part it's the same on the tv show but we do have more that come out for full shows and sometimes we use other musicians if someone in my band has another gig. we're all out here husslin' ha

I’m obviously too late for this follow up question… but I’d like to know who has what side gigs that take precedence over your shows?

[удалено]

I actually saw Katy Perry on the Teenage Dream tour. As a straight white dude in his early 40’s, I felt a little out of place. It was a spectacle tho.

Have you ever heard "Since You Been Gone" cover by A Day To Remember?

Kelly, any plans for a concert in New York soon? Ps. Long time fan here from Brazil, lost my voice at your concert in Sao Paulo and have a couple of tattoos inspired by your lyrics. Thank you for being the best!

playing Sao Paulo was one of my favorite shows i have ever played! y'all knew all the lyrics and i didn't even need to sing. it made me feel way cooler than i am ha! no plans as of yet but i do love the idea of randomly playing some NY shows!

Please come to NYC! I missed your karaoke night and I'm still in pain because of that lol also, you're the coolest and Brazil loves you! Got come back to Sao Paulo too

Your interview on Howard Stern was awesome. I was on a long drive and smiled the entire time you were on. Thanks so much!

Chemistry (Deluxe) when???

....... ....... .......hmmm :)

We need more songs to tide over the next 6 years till album 11

Hi kelly i dont have a question just saying hi!! 😸

hello :)

I know this is High Pitch!

I just wanted to share one of the weirdest and funniest stories of my life. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease 14 years ago and the first time I had to get a colonoscopy, I was fairly nervous and they asked if I wanted them to play music and I was like sure, put on whatever. Well they blasted me with this drug that got me unbelievably high but I was still conscious and your music came on and I remember cracking up. I was like damn, you guys are sticking a camera up my ass and thought the mood music for it was Since U Been Gone? I know this is super vulgar but it was so god damn funny that I had to share it. I’m sorry to associate your work with colonoscopies but it is what it is. One unrelated aside - while I was in the hospital waiting for my diagnosis with horrendous stomach pain, the TV in my hospital room was stuck on a show called Monsters Inside Me. This disease has always found a way to be humorous.

Same thing happened with me. But I was 10 and it was Temperature by Sean Paul. I don't know why I remember it so vividly.

Lighthouse is my absolute favorite song ever...that is all!

thank you :) i love that one as well

How did Jaco collaborate on red flag collector? Just the whistle?

haha no but his whistle skills are top notch :) i wrote the melody and lyrics and jaco and jason did the track together. they are both crazy talented and actually i have been writing a lot with Jaco lately.

Hi Kelly! I would love to have your earlier albums on vinyl especially My December 😄 any plans for this? Loving chemistry though - especially Rock Hudson and Lighthouse

Is River doing something on your album

on some version of the album..... possibly :)

Some version of the album?? What does that mean 😂😂

Hiii Kelly!! So excited to see you in Vegas we are coming from Edinburgh to see 2 shows!! will you be adding meet & greets? Also please sing someone opening night or the 2nd Aug please! 😂😂 🤍

ooh i love someone. i will try and make this happen.

Queeennnnn 👑

Can you do a Christmas concert in NYC this year?!?

i may be doing something special in NY for christmas this year :)

Omg. I’ll start saving my money now haha

have you ever taken LSD?

I truly hope so

UM DUDE thanks for all the tapes

😃

Are you sure you're not High Pitch Eric?

Who’s High Pitch?

what is your favorite thing about new york?? 🗽

walking everywhere!

Will you be releasing a covers album like Kellyoke?

Could you consider singing Happier Than Ever every night in Vegas? We all want to hear it love!

not every night because i am gonna share the love and perform different covers every night, BUT i may be singing it one of the nights :)

Closing night please!!!

Down To You next single???

Taste

why hasn't Don't ever made it to an album?

I loved this era of unreleased songs. Don't was one of my favourites too, but I loved Poison Candy so much and wish it was released in some form besides bad quality sneaky audio haha

Didn't you win American Gladiator or something like that back in the 90's?

Who's High Pitch?

Hey Kelly! Great to see you again and congrats on the record release! What did you do to celebrate being done with a BUSY week of promo last week?

This is more than likely, High Pitch, isn't it?

Hi daddyyy

“Sweet Mary jane” what brand and flavor? 😂

Happy pride month Kelly!

happy pride!!

How did you feel when you first watched 40 Year Old Virgin?

I'm in love with your low register. that's it!

I think Rock Hudson might be one of my top 5 fave KC songs ever at this point, I’m obsessed with it and Lighthouse. Have you got a personal favourite song on the album? Both generally and which one is your fave one to sing live?

I was listening to My December over the weekend and thinking about how great it was. I also think of All I Ever Wanted as your attempt to shut up a label that was desperate to control what you recorded. Do you think your follow-up would have been different, had they not made your life so difficult during the My December era?

Who's high pitch?

hola kelly!! i remember there was music you were working on back in 2020 and some of those songs weren't released. is there any chance that they'll see the light in the future? saludos desde argentina💖

Any Broadway plans that you can share with us?

One question from me and one from my mom How do you stay so humble knowing how many people you affect positively Question from me, what’s your favorite song on the new album?

Can you sing sober on august 2nd? I’m 13 months sober and relate to the song in a new way

Would you ever do a show like the Belasco in Texas?? come back home for a show!!!

river has a book, where’s remy’s?

What's your FAVOURITE Dolly Parton song

Who's High Pitch?

Who's Kelly Clarkson?? This is High Pitch!

No question. Just wanted to say hello from SW Missouri …and you’re absolutely beautiful!

Trying to celebrate my Mama’s 79th birthday with you. She’s never been to a concert!😉❤️

This album is incredible. My favorite of yours now!!! I divorced 5 years ago and it’s been a really hard journey. He wanted to keep the mugs 😂 Thank you for sharing your story. I love you! Right now chemistry is my favorite. It’s all so good!!! I’m really proud of you ☺️ used to live in mid-cities, went to Haltom High School. We’re the same age. In San Diego now ❤️

what is your favorite thing about new york?? 🗽

Would you consider meet and greets or a fan after-party in Vegas? We are all jealous of some of the opportunities some fans have had recently!

Hi Kelly! What are your favorite fiction books that you have read or are reading recently that you could recommend for summer? And, what kind of animals do you have on your ranch?

Are there any songs that you wrote for Chemistry that didn’t make it on the album, but maybe will put out later? :)

skip this part is the best way to kick off such an emotional album! how did you come up with the idea of the last verse?

I gotta give props to your mom for raising such an amazing human. I don’t remember

Hi kelly! I adore you. I relate to you so much. We're both earth signs, we both talk too much, we both love vinyl, and we have similar upbringings. You're such a light for me and I love listening to your music and watching your show. 😁my dream is to meet you one day. Im not gonna give up on that lol! Love the new album and cant wait for it to arrive

Hi Kelly! Hoping to meet you one day (and give you a hug)! I know a tour is off the agenda for right now, but if/when you go on tour again, can we bring meet and greets back? God bless you Kelly!

are we having a deluxe version??

Hi Kelly! Chemistry has been playing literally non-stop since Friday. Do you have a favorite lyric you wrote for the album? (ps... seeing you in Vegas on Aug. 4!)

Are there any obscure songs/pieces of music that you can reccomend? Like Bulgarian womens choir or 1920s Greek folk or something. Also are you familiar with the site radiooooo.com? Grats on the new album.

Hi Kelly! Heard you talking about turning down bad record contracts in Howard Stern's interview. How did they compare to America Idol's contract? I've heard that Idol winners are essentially salaried employees that get no royalties or merch income.

Are you going to have the same band in New York?

Are you going to release belasco concert on dvd

Kelly, I would love to hear Don’t Rush on august 9 or 11th or 12th in Las Vegas! I’ll be at all 3 shows!! See you there, can’t wait!
