No. I, personally, am not able to connect with the celebs you call exciting on a personal level. I cannot in the least identify with them and that makes them absolutely uninteresting for me. I love Kelly. She is cool, laid back, fun and refreshing. She is normal and I would date her in an instant if I could.
And I love Leona. She might not have scandals, but she has a tremendous amount of talent and inspiring music. And she has a pretty cool blog, if you ask me.
To be honest, I don't think the others are more interesting. They just act like it. I don't think Gaga sleeps in her costumes. And I think partying every night, although it sounds fun, can be really draining. There is less glamour than we actually want there to be, so why act like there is?
I don't think that any pop star, is really interesting for that matter. The really interesting people are the artsy ones in indie music. Florence. Janelle. M.I.A. Listen to their lyrics. They have a point.

Yes, Kelly is an amazing person as well as Leona and they have great music  . It's great for you that you stan for them. However my stanning life needs some crazy drama ****, they can't provide me

Adele and Bruno Mars spring to mind.
Its not necessarily that they're boring, it is just their music is very much geared towards the GP; there is no niche market or specific genre for a large stanbase to develop.

If you need your fave to put on thousands of wigs or over the top clothes or pull one publicity stunt after another to make them interesting to you you obviously dont care much about their music.
Quite sad actually
An artist becomes interesting to me when they show talent and artists who try to make a point with their music and express meaning.

yes we enjoy kelly clarkson's music just like you do and all other artist mentioned. stanning for somebody like for example Britney there's a sense of "rooting" for her factor that makes her not boring to stan for, fans followed her through the years and still wish the best for her that's why we stan for her, in Gaga's case fans root for her because of her talent , music and i don't know if it's true but i think the people stab her makes fans more attached to her.

Um... None. My stanning for an artist is related to how much I listen to them. I don't listen to artists that I find boring.

I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say. I wasn't attacking anyone. I understand that Britney fans are very loyal and been with her through ups and downs and that makes them more attached to them. The same is actually with Kelly fans. Kelly may not have had the problems that Britney had, but she had criticism and trouble with her label and fans have kept on supporting her. Kelly fans mostly feel strongly attached to her because of her music that describes her personal hardships and her honesty in interviews. She is an idol for many struggling people.
I didn't mean to say that you are less of a stan just because you stan for Britney. There are different reasons to stan for someone and that's just fine.

To be honest, I have no idea why I stan for Kelly. She is basic as **** and VERY predictable career wise. But I don't know. My December was such a amazing album for me. I don't know how to explain. I don't get how people can stan for multiple artists. There is no artists out there like Kelly that I'm rooting so hard, watching all of her videos, interviews, live performances and own all of her music, including the leaks. I like Britney spears, Rihanna and Lana Del Rey a lot. But for some reason I don't feel as excited when I hear they have upcoming music or performances like Kelly.

I don't get the whole "boring" thing tbh.
Some artists aren't attention grabbers and just sing because they love doing it. Maybe they're not exciting as performers in the sense of going over the top with it, but there's usually something about them that makes up for it. Whether it's their music, their voice, or whatever.
And I actually prefer "boring" artists mainly now tbh. I used to be able to get behind people like Gaga, etc but the past few years, whenever I see someone trying too hard for attention or trying too hard to do something "iconic", I find that boring tbh. To me there's nothing boring about someone who stands there and sings and has a great voice. But that's just me.
So the whole thing goes either way tbh.

I guess Taylor Swift. I can't say that I'm into a lot of her music but I certainly have bopped to it from time to time. She's nice, so she's likable though.

How is Katy boring?
I'd say Lana Del Rey, Carly & Kelly.
