Ok guys, I need to tell you something and this is not easy for me, but I need to be honest and I want to be honest. Kelly has been my absolute idol since I was a little child and I envied her and wanted to be like her so much. She became the symbol of perfection to me and she was my first crush. I often hated myself and so I listened to her music and it helped me forget everything. It helped me forget myself and I started to think of her. This has been my pattern for years now, but I often felt lonely and I wanted her to be with me, like really be with me, and it hurt me so much that she wasn't. Then, I started to portray my problems on her, like her imperfections became my imperfections and I nearly destroyed myself with it. It's like I have forgotten that I don't really know her, that she is just a stranger, an image, not a real part of my life.
I've been depressed all summer and in my desperation, I turned to her again to find peace, but it just stirred more problems. I have become obsessed and self destructive and I'm on the edge of ruining my life. I'm moving out to college next month and I won't be able to do this if I continue like this. And I will never find true love if I don't get over her.
Unfortunately, atrl had a major part in this. It provided tons of pointless fights, both in Base and Lounge and made me become an internet addict. It's time to move on and it's time to grow up for me. I wish I could be here when Kelly releases her Christmas album, I wish I could be here when she gets married and especially when she gives birth to her first child. But it's better for me if I don't. I will find out about in yahoo! or some other website, where every other person from the general public will.
And I will be happy for her. I will be so happy for her and I will always remember how much I loved her and how much she has helped me when I was younger, but it's not worth enough to let it ruin my life.
I wish I could be a casual stan. I wish I wasn't obsessive. I wish I could draw a clear line between her life and mine, but I can't.
You guys were so much fun to chat with. I really loved this forum and I hated it at the same time. But I can't carry on with this. I just hope you keep stanning for Kelly, because she deserves great fans. She's an awesome human being and I wish her all the happiness and success in the world. Everything feels so empty right now when I think about not looking at her pictures anymore, not posting on tumblr, not listening to her music for a while, and not even thinking about her anymore. It hurts, but it's long overdue.
I don't know if I'll be able to pull this through, but if you don't hear from me anymore, you'll know that I'm over her and better.
Love y'all
Omfg
But really wish you the best, but see therapist they may help you :heart:

How can Thankful be a masterpiece while AIEW is not
It's just like that.
Let's be serious. I think I am the only true AIEW (album) hater in this Base. Although it was my first KC album and there are few gems on it (Already Gone, Cry, MLWSWY), I don't like the album at all. I hate the name "All I Ever Wanted" because it clearly isn't what Kelly wanted, it's all her label wanted. For me neither of the songs on the album (but Cry and maybe Save You) seem honest to me. The whole image of a happy colourful teen idol is so fake to me, it's all pretending, especially after My December. I am not saying that Thankful is Kelly's best album, but I like it more because - and I know it sounds cheesy - can feel Kelly's personality in Thankful's songs, while on AIEW it is just a bunch of songs she recorded so the label could release another album.

It hasn't sold 500k+ yet but it is already certified. Same with My December being certified Platinum, although it hasn't sold more than 1m.
imo although AIEW is not a great album, tacky packaging aside, it was a great collection of songs of different sub genres smacked with great production, most of the songs anyway. I don't find Thankful exciting at all, while I love many of the tracks individually I find the experience of listening the album from start to finish very weird, I don't know why. So I rate AIEW a tad higher.
In the end the only true masterpiece Kelly has was Breakaway, My Decemeber
and Smoakstack Session 2

I would rate the albums like that:
MD = Breakaway >>> Stronger >>> Thankful >> AIEW
I wonder where WIR will be.
I love AIEW. To me, it's an album I can listen to all the way through. It has the least cringeworthy songs out of Kelly's albums. However, BA>>>> MD >>AIEW >>Stronger >>>>>>Thankful

I think AIEW was her most radio-friendly album.. Although the album full of auto tune and some songs in the album that I don't really like. About my order of favorite album... BA > AIEW = MD >>> Stronger >>>>> Thankful
Kelly Clarkson Trades Bridal Duties for a Trip to Peru
Kelly Clarkson's voice has taken her all around the world – but her dance moves are another story.
Clarkson, 31, recently visited coffee farms and performed a special set for farmers and their families in Peru.
"It was so funny cause I didn't know if they were gonna like my songs. They would sing along, I think we did like a mini-set for them, so we did a few songs down there. They were dancing, it was just so cool! I felt like I was just in a movie," Clarkson tells PEOPLE of the performance. "I was dancing with them!"
Her trip, part of Green Mountain Coffee's Great Coffee, Good Vibes, Choose Fair Trade campaign, was an eye-opening experience for Clarkson.
"I didn't know that a lot of them didn't have electricity," she says. "That's the one cool thing that was for me to learn with this opportunity, [through Fair Trade] they have more opportunity with their whole community. They have more education and more access to electricity. It's a better way to further the community. I felt like I was actually making a difference, which is something I think we all want to be a part of."
While the acoustic performance brought Clarkson's audience to their feet, the singer says she couldn't quite keep up with their moves.
"I couldn't do their steps," Clarkson confesses. "I was totally not Beyoncé. They all had these cute dances they were doing together… I just started doing the sprinkler and the running man."
But when it comes to dancing on her big day – her upcoming nuptials to fiancé Brandon Blackstock – the singer has the perfect song all picked out.
"We're bringing our own vinyl player and we're doing it that way. Eva Cassidy is like my favorite, and her song 'Songbird' so we're probably gonna slow dance alone to it," she says.
Though she says the couple is "already basically married," she's ready to start the next stage of her life with Blackstock by her side.
"We live together. We have a house together. We have the two kids who live with us. We're already kind of a family. But I think that it just kind of puts it in place. When you get married, it's like official. You're starting a family and we want to have more children, so we're just excited. I guess that's the best part, it's a new kind of chapter in my life."
In celebration of Fair Trade Month (October), Clarkson will perform a private concert at the High Line Ballroom in New York on Oct. 10. Viewers can tune in to watch a livestream on Green Mountain Coffee's Facebook page at 8:30 p.m. EST.
But did I just read "children" plural? A mess Kelly. I won't allow you to have multiple kids unless you keep having boys. You betta have that girl prodigy.
