Kelly Clarkson, Framed

It seems like we’ve been watching American Idol half of forever, doesn’t it? Actually, it’s only been 0.000000001% of forever, and that assumes the Universe ends tomorrow.

Of all the winners of American Idol, the best was still the first: Kelly Clarkson. Post-Idol, she’s been at it for over 10 years and has sold over 20 million albums. On this planet alone! The only Idol winner who’s surpassed those numbers is that country girl whose name I forget right now.

No matter! This week’s video is “Heartbeat Song,” a vid that premiered just a few weeks ago. Kelly’s not in it a lot; instead, we see people who have had hard luck in love but are trying again. It packs just the sort of uplifting message people like to hear: never, ever, give up on love.

But what do you say, readers? Wouldn’t it be wiser to simply give up on love and call it an impossible fantasy? Or is it the attainable pinnacle of human experience? Your vote counts, sort of!
