Travis 543 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Kelly Clarkson may have one of the most anticipated albums of 2015 coming out, but that doesn't mean collaborators are lining up to work with the singer. In an interview with BBC Radio 1 Wednesday, Clarkson told host Nick Grimshaw she had a really hard time getting guests onboard for her upcoming LP, Piece By Piece. "I honestly would collaborate with a lot of people, but everyone usually says no," the original American Idol said. "I'm not kidding you. I have legitimately asked several people that I'm not going to call out." Of course Clarkson was able to wrangle at least one big star to join her on the set -- John Legend, whose joint "Run Run Run" was released two weeks ago teasing the album's March 3 release. "I got John Legend to say yes and he's cool," the Grammy-winner continued. "I ask good people, I don't want to sing with crap people, so I mean, I ask people who are great vocalists, but I'm not going to point out anyone.... I have asked several people. Sometimes I feel like I have the plague, or leprosy, they're like, 'If you get too close…' I don't know." Clarkson also revealed she had to say no to singing with Taylor Swift once. Not because she didn't want to but because she needed a break. "I feel like I'm a very nice person that you might want to sing with me.... I can get country artists to sing with me and John Legend! I'm gonna keep John Legend. He's super credible and talented. I feel very good about myself with that one." Listen to the full interview here, Clarkson comes in around 01:55:30. http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6473212/kelly-clarkson-says-she-couldnt-find-guests-for-new-album-i-feel Piece by Piece out March 3rd!

Jan 219 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 This reeks of Beyonce. I don't know why I particularly said that but I would picture Beyonce saying no for some reason. I think some artists images don't probably mesh with hers and so they turn her down despite her talent. :shrug: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 she knows the queen is busy with RedOne and Giorgio Moroda Exactly This reeks of Beyonce.

Cody Draco 2,531 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I don't understand the hate for Kelly Clarkson... is it because she is long past her peak? Are people disgusting and have an issue with HER body? Also, who exactly is anticipating her album? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,621 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I feel like Kelly gets underrated as a pop force. She has a non-glamorous, non-mysterious girl next door persona, and she's also got that "just a singing show winner reality product" stigma to overcome, and the country-to-pop crossover has already been dominated by Taylor. Shame they didn't get to collab, they're a perfect match. However, she has one of the best voices in the biz, writes (or has written for her? not sure) great memorable melodies, and her hits are legendary. I feel bad for her being written off because she has great talent and would write great hits with whoever she collaborated with.
