The Kelly Clarkson Show is the uplifting daytime destination for humor, heart, and connection featuring Emmy-winning talk show host, Grammy-winning artist and America’s original idol, Kelly Clarkson.
He’s finally going by Colson and being proud of it.
Travis Nighman his real name is Richard...
@@johndough3809 nope got it legally changed a few years back
Yes he said that in a interview for the movie the dirt. He wants to be recognized as Colson
MGK is a band now, I think
Happy Kid no it’s not
Okay. Anyone else love having an artist as the host. She can literally understand where MGK is coming from.
YES and I had no idea MGK is so insightful - I liked his explanation of the album name
‘They were fascinated by tragedy’ -MGK 2020 😱😱 what the hell thats so poetic
No disrespect to mgk or his fans but he is not a rapper anymore and not even one of the "hottest rappers" im sorry i has 2 say it
Because his white trying to act hard.
Fuckin paint a house or something
"we're fascinated by tragedy." You can tell he has got his poetic side turned on.
He have always been intuitive and perspective.
Nah most celebs are just trying to portray a certain image to sell they shit
#freebritney
@@leviread3354 look at his past, you can understand he is a good poet
“Loving someone is how much your scared to lose them”
Just think about that
I'm thinking about it, and it's quite spot on...love really is loss and the fear of it...
So fucking true
Cliche
You can always dig them up
@@SherrieE196 explain pls?
He’s such a vulnerable person, as soon as he started to open up he grabbed the pillow as a defence mechanism... Kelly was a great person to interview him! She’s down to earth and he warmed up to her quickly
Seriously!!🥺
Everytime I seen him hide behind things like that I just wanna hug him.
Lmaoooooo, the feminization of America is well underway I suppose.
PuzzledObserver lmfao feminization get out
Damien Alexander idk why there are always people like you who have to comment. I actually do prefer myself a strong ass man who has feelings and isn’t afraid to be sensitive. Just because your emotional doesn’t mean you’re not strong? Good luck in everything you do too man.
mgk seems the happiest and healthiest version of himself right now. He is actually such an amazing guy man.
Exactly what I was about to comment
All credits goes to young blud,Megan fox n Travis Barker

@@Anthony-yj6nt Yes for sure
I love that he quoted one of my favorite Jim Carrey's lines
Same! Lol it made my day!
Yup, and he got the girl😍
What is that?
@Righteous Agitator I'm flabbergasted 🤣
I love that she gave him the opportunity to talk in depth about his writing and his lyrics. You can just see the artist in him bursting at the seams as he talks about it 🤘🏻♥️
He is what we need more of in the entertainment world of music (if it even exists anymore). He is real & authentic.
this deserves a million likes
the best thing about that was that she asked him if she could ask him about them first (musicians and writers that have ever gotten the "so with this you must have meant this, right?" with that "don't you dare burst my bubble" undertone in it, will understand)
I agree! ✌️🤍😊
I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
Those screens acting like the audience really freaked me out
Hahaha absolutely 🤣🤣
It is an audience they do the same on Dr Phil it's people on their cameras they even talk to them that way
Lol
@@karenanderson9884 is a joke
It's f*cking horrible. They all look really fake too -- their phoney laughter etc.
I love his personality.......he really is cool........seems down to earth.
yes yes he is a taurus after all
I love mgk so much. I've always been a fan.

It's because she is
everyone is sweeter and more human than ellen
@@declanhoman144 yesss
@@safeersyed613 why would you hate Kelly Clarkson? Lol..
Wow. I'm embarrassed to say I judged him without knowing about him. He's so humble I'm in love with the way he carries himself. I'm buying his cd. I heard him for the first time and I like it.
This is the kinda comments I like to see. Welcome to EST! Enjoy the crazy fucking ride ❤️
Rooting for MGK after this interview
EST! 🥰
I did the same thing, man I love this man here lol dam he's sexy AND multi talented
SAME! I disliked him, for no real reason really, and now that I’ve learned about him...I LOVE him. He’s not only beyond handsome, but he’s talented, smart, articulate, funny, and seems pretty normal. I like him and his music a lot!
I had no idea who he was but after this interview I’m a fan. He’s incredibly profound and deep. Also, they should do a duet titled “Machine Gun Kelly Clarkson.”
Someone make them notice this & make it happen!
A Byrd lol
his album “Tickets To My Downfall” comes out at midnight tonight! give it a listen for sure 🔥
Omg yes
This needs to happen.
This is Colson’s year and I’m so here for it.
Really??? We could hardly tell that it's his year given he's doing a shitty job
@Mala Nha Numbers don't mean shit
prod. tri with how long he’s been a artist, switching genres and doing a little better? Yeah that’s very expected tbh
@@idealriot2722 the only thing that's important is he's exploring his other interests and isn't allowing himself to be boxed into one style. You can tell he's always had an interest with that style based on his collabs, it's beautiful that he's allowing himself to explore it without boundaries.
Devon and making millions more than you, stay jealous
An artist who has actual genuine, deep answers to questions about his music. Makes the songs EVEN more infectious when you know there's a real message behind them
I was wondering why he sat so far from her, and why they didn't hug when they acted like they were going to, then all the tv screens were weird, then I remembered this was recorded in 2020.
@Helen Boakye 🤦 that's why I said "then I remembered this was filmed in 2020."
I love his look and just his whole vibe overall just seems like a good guy not to mention he’s really talented.
I like his new look alot!! His hair is amazing
Yeah he is a "good guy". Really nice.
Sorry I don't like a man wearing pearl necklace maybe save it for grandmas
Jordan 87 Damn 🔥and all of the above 🤩
He has no talent
He shouldn’t be called a rapper. He’s an artist.
Idk he's pretty shallow and egocentric. Waiting for his talent to catch up to his ego.
100% an artist , because you get labeled a rapper and then he does something like this and I bet there’s people saying he’s a rapper he can’t do this , it’s like no musicians are artists they create whatever music they want and not be tied down to one genre ♥️
Agreed.
@@zacakafroztee I think he just needed to Branch out beyond rap like posty
But rap can be art. Just depends on who's creating it.
damn I've watched mgk his whole career and he really found his sound with this album so proud of what he has accomplish. Very inspiring.
for real, he's perfect for this genre that has been missing for around a decade. So it's great to listen to this emo punk rock sound again.
@@5thfloor584 maybe hes good at it and I really really enjoy his punk..
But objectively he's a far better rapper for me "his sound" was the hotel diablo/quarantine sessions type sound.
He’s got such a complicated mesh of influences in his cuts. I’m 42 and I hear all phases of my generation and historical exposure to early punk.
The more I listen to MGK, be it on album or in interviews such as this the more I like him. Tickets to my Downfall is such a spellbinding album.
Please don’t ever quit mgk you’ve pushed me through so many dark times
Same.
I fourth that statement lol
Same ❤️
I felt that❤
Lmaooooo
"I wish everyone in the world could experience what its like to be rich and famous, just so you could realize it means nothing."
Means nothing*
Me too. Me too
Yea it means nothing until you're broke and can't afford to eat. What a privlaged statement
Real est know what this statement means. Ones who been there from the start and stayed true.
*But it means the world to me and I'd still prefer being RICH & famous than being poor & unloved*
its sad that it took people this long to recognize him.... i rememebr breaking up with my ex of 5 years and was contemplating endinng it all, then i shut the lights off and put "swing life away' 'see my tears" "raise the flag" and "chassing pavements" on repeat and he just spoke to me. Machine Gun Kelly youre a legend and we appreciate you more than you will ever know.
Swing life away wasn't his he borrowed from rise against
Been with him since '100 words and running' Mixtape... I vibe so much with his personality and just him as a human... Might have a little to do with im from Columbus but yea
@@maniacaldisaster2297 hey man I’m from Mansfield and ya I’ve been following him since chip off the block dropped bro, 1000 words and running was definitely fire bro
*“Loving someone is how much you’re scared to lose them. Whatever the amount is that you’re scared to live your life without them is how much you love them.” 🤯*
"loving someone is how much you're scared to lose them"
The way MGK just grabs a pillow and holds it strongly suggests that he felt anxiety after being asked about the Love lyrics. Dude is such a wholesome person sometimes
Fr he was holding it and it was hey wholesome
MGK songs: ☠️ ⚡🤙🖤🤬🎸
MGK interviews: 🤪☺️😬🌞🐒
i love that she brought up his lyrics and asked for more depth, especially an old song from an old mixtape
probably the only guy who managed to make out a career after dissing Eminem....and he actually has a good personality.....as a stan myself, I respect this guy
I mean he did change his direction completely. You could say Eminem destroyed his rapping career. But I really like his new sound and actually also liked some of his old songs. Plus I agree, he seems to be very humble and genuine.
@@MsYolost 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 Destroyed his rapping career??? Just because the man can do more than one genre of music u think he still can't spit bars....grow up stan
@@jdking5909 Of course he can, but he doesn't.
@@jdking5909 To be fair, he destroyed is rapping career by himself. The last album was just god awful
@@MsYolost um definitely not his best but the last 4 albums from em have been trash, with one good song on each and that's just facts. MGK still puts out good rap songs has put out 4 during quarantine.
I never really listened to his music before but I'm now going to listen to his whole catalog of music in a different light. What a relatable soul feeling. He got me when he said "we are attracted to tragedy"
Start by listening to his songs like 27, kiss the sky, habits (there are way more)
Let me go, Rehab, I think I'm okay, see my tears, glass house. Just listen to everything it's amazing.
Checkout hollywood whore, definitely one of his best songs.
His entire debut album in 2012 called "Lace Up" is an absolute banger. I strongly recommend you listen to that one because it chronicles his struggles growing up in Cleveland. That's the album that pretty much cemented my love for his music even though I already knew him a year before that album.
His general admission album has some super underrated and deep songs. Story of the Stairs is about his mom leaving him when he was 9 and just showing up years later at the doorstep expecting a relationship. Merry go round is about heroin addiction which he struggled with as a teen. Spotlight with lzze hale is about struggling with being in the spotlight and how it amplifies your demons. Gone is about a medley of things. Especially becoming a dad young and then his dad and their rough relationship. I could go on and on. Bloom and Hotel Diablo have a lot like that too. Lonely from his newest album is a heartbreaker about him finally getting in touch with his dad only to be told he has cancer and watch him die months later. Hearing his last breath over the phone.
I love Kells, he's such a good and honest person. Who you see is who you get. He never forgets where he came from and is beyond talented.
I wanna hear colson talk about poetry, tragedy, and hardships for hours. He’s so wise. His new album helps me spiritually no cap.
This man is owning his Name! Colson in the Real World, MGK on Stage.
Hes going to go down in history 💯
Mgk is the definition of inspiration.
In the history as a joke after eminem roasted him
Brandon Latus damn it ! You said it before me 😂😂😂😂
@@brandonlatus6563 hmm... yeah, hes struggling now huh 🙄
ADCArtAttack yep that's right
"We're fascinated by tragedy"
I definitely felt that
Looking at how Colson looks more respectfull now, I want him and Em to have a good conversation and really just talk.
That would be great. I think MGK was in a bad place when he talked about Ems daughter. I dont think the MGK we see here would be like that now. I actually think he looked up to Em growing up as they have the same past.
@@jaymanas9921 He did and he has said it. Now that eminem dissed him a few times on side b, and MGK saying side b was trash, I dont want it to happen now. 🤣🤣
@@geo.0526 did MGK say side B was trash. Well fuck him then lol.
Em needs to chill on machine too but he does has some bars on side B. Heaps of bars.
@@jaymanas9921 He said "subliminals 🚮🤣" on Twitter.
He’s so adorable. I love how he grabs a pillow to help him not be so nervous
yes, at first i thought he is like a douche, but when i search more detail about him, and his interview, he seems like a nice and calm guy. i put respect on him beside his controversy.
With him asking the question of “Why is everyone here when things are going bad for me?” Dude so real and hits so hard
Mr MakeShft dude seriously I see you everywhere lol
Right and they weren't there to help him, they were there to watch the chaos. Glad he seems to have picked himself up cause he was spiraling.
Word.
He started his own down spiral with pointless marketing schemes which failed him terribly🤦♂️💯
Name yourself after a gun but have a man bun, he shaved it off after that verse who got hurt the most, obviously kelly 😂
I did not expect the audience to look like that💀😭😭
It’s funny now 5 months later I’m so desensitized to the audience now
He is so underrated.. As an artist and a human.
One thing I really liked when I found out he and Megan Fox are together is that she’s an amazing human being, too. She has an amazing heart and is very open with how her kids choose to dress as far as gender equality. They’re just both very poetic people it seems and I love them together. He needed that.
How is he so underrated?
@@CoryD_85 by the stans of the world 🤣🤣
@@kellymarie4428 what do you mean though? How is he so underrated? And why did you say stans
@@kellymarie4428 I'm not trolling you I'm just surprised you say he is underrated cause from what I see he has like millions of subscribers and 20mil or more views on each TH-cam video, number one hit song, bunch of movie deals, he just did a new years ball drop live performance, hell even Megan fox is using him to stay irrelevant seems to be pretty well rated to me 🤣🤪🤘
I feel like these 2 could hang out and have some serious and humorous meaning talks.. hope they keep in contact some. Grabbing the pillow to cuddle it to steady his nerves and anxiety speaks volumes as to what he goes through.. he speaks so much wisdom and is such a deep soul.. they both look really good
it’s SO. SAD. that he is so underrated and almost quit. he’s a musical genius.
Musical genius?? Hahah that's a stretch.
@@Mels1125 Hahah I forget to laugh. gtfo He's been together the most versatile n underrated artist
@@_celebpurple_8194 yeah okay. He needs to stick to this genre because his rapping sucks
@@Mels1125 that's your opinion.
@@Mels1125 thats why he isnt rapping any more you can go now...
Love how Kelly gets deep with her guests right away. No fluff with the depth of emotional turmoil, just the real. Love it, love her. And yet she’s still lighthearted and smiling despite what’s she’s going through.
Him grabbing the pillow is so squishy and cute. I hope one day he can fall in love with his smile like we all have
Supposedly he is in love right now with Brian Austin Greenes ex wife. Megan fox.
@@brianticas7671 She left her husband and son for him. Wouldn't trust her too much
@@demiladebakare3109 damn that must suck
@@brianticas7671 u missed the point lmao they’re talking abt how he hates his smile
@@demiladebakare3109 no. The marriage was already having issues for years now. She filed for divorce but decided to stick it out a few more years w Green until she couldn’t anymore.
me sitting here named cale : 👁👄👁
Dang bro that’s rough
At least you’re not cabbage..
@@jon1100 that be rough my guy
They should do a duet: a tale of two Kelly’s.
Brilliant idea! Start a petition....I would so be on board!
Omg because she can do that punk rock type of music! Omg that would be awesome!
No
& she actually is a talented singer - so that's a huge plus
Him finding love has changed him. He looks good. He sounds good. His headspace is clear. Like, hes not looking drugged up anymore. Colson, you are an artist. And I am so glad you're here. I hope you continue to make music and act. And most importantly, healthy!
is anyone else going to talk about how his shirt looks like a jawbreaker like his song jawbreaker ??
I love this guy and the fact that he's evolving so publicly and sharing it so he can possibly and non selfishly impact someone positively is commendable
Tickets to my downfall is his best album so far. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
I think nothing can ever top Hoteldiablo.
Hotel Diablo was better. I think TTMD had some lows. Still a solid album
Hotel Diablo is his best work since Lace Up
Negative nothing will compare to Hotel Diablo 🔥🔥🔥
Besides Lace up of course
Nope His work on Black flag and Lace up are much better in every way.
I'm so glad he didn't turn his back on music. As someone who's been there since his first album, idk how he wasn't nominated in 2010...so happy for him. He's earned it so much more then anyone else.
I thought Machine gun Kelly is one of those many artists who is just making noise just like the sound of his name but I began to respect this man when I heard him speak and felt his real character from his words.
I’m so glad I gave this guy’s music a chance. He’s been added to my list of favorites, especially the words to a lot of his songs.
Okay IMAGINE. For just a moment. That Kelly went back to her “since you’ve been gone” and “behind these hazel eyes” days and her and MGK made a duet together. Especially now that she’s going through a divorce. The wigs that could be snatched. YALL.
Too bad he’s dating Megan fox already
@@cameronross9391 They could still duet together ❤
That would be amazing
I love pop punk kelly clarkson
Yo that would be on my playlists so quick..most played song. Pray to the universe it could happen
Colson is FINALLY having his year and his craft is finally getting the appreciation and attention it has always deserved!
I don’t know how she talked to him with a straight face and without flirting hardcore haha
Tho he's speaking about this is amazing. But the moment he grabbed the pillow (hiding behind it) just shows how raw and real he is.
He really a great dude people just judging bc of his look
@@dexterdahmer That diss was actually ight a 7/10.
@@wiseguy240Winston killshot was trash
@@anisnisou6851 Cap bro
Jaylen Shakur nah Eminem was trying to start shit over a tweet from 2012
Never heard his rap, nor can I see him - only able to judge by his noncreative name.
I love how he grabbed the pillow and held it, it’s like he needed the extra support and comfort.
He has this vie that I feel every time someone compliments he is a lil shocked inside but it makes his "Thank you's" so much more real.
You gotta respect this man being vulnerable it is a very rare trait to have shows he's human and when he quoted Jim Carrey my respect for him went up x100
“We’re fascinated by tragedy” now that’s a quote
He seems so humble...he is a legend already. 27 is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.
He’s not humble with his fans
@@siicaoballe7015 wydm

His songs speak to the deepest secrets of my past. He also reminds me way too much of my writing partner/BFF who died at 21. I miss him like crazy. Personality, looks, mannerisms, substances. I haven’t written since he died. MGK makes me want to pick up a pen and even maybe a guitar someday.
I know he just blew up but the people he influenced and helped before this is amazing. I can’t explain how he helped me through times and continues to do so. I’m sorry it took so long for people to realize how amazing your lyrics and music in general is?! Thank you for so much music lately, much love!
Colson has this incredibly welcoming aura. Like he just reminds me of someone that would be a genuinely good friend. His growth as an artist AND as a person is just amazing. So thankful for his existence, man. So thankful.
Kelly is getting better and better at interviews.
Also MGK seems really cool.
I agree. He's always hated interviews and always said just let the music speak for itself. But to be fair a lot of the interviewers of his in the past were terrible and always asked the same stupid questions that he's been known to not want to be asked. This is the happiest I think I've ever seen him.
@@introvertbeats6291 yeah, what I like about Kelly, is that she already knows all that same shit questions asked all the time. And as an artist, she knows the things they really want to talk about.
MGK actually a boring version of himself here tbh, as a long time fan.
@@elsalvadorxx5891 really? I would say he seems more relaxed and down to earth in this interview, like he doesn't need to do all these extra things. They just talk. 🤔
@@MrMikeInverse Yea, they just talked, they lack actions here compared to his other interviews cos there's nothing much to chill about in this kind of talk shows. Sounds boring to me. Just saying
I grew up feeling so alone and abandoned and MGK hits the nail on the head with his music. I totally appreciate where he is coming from. Much love and respect for you MGK, we love you
Hey Kelly, I was one of your many fans who has witnessed your intro all the way to you winning American Idol...beginning to end! Seen you on the voice, listened to your music, etc.. Now realizing that you have your own show! I'm so proud of you from where you came from to what you've achieved. You're a great inspiration to all people from many different walks of life! You've shown us that anything is possible in life. Btw, I find you're an incredibly intelligent, and strong woman! 👍💪💖
i love that he looks happier and healthier
Yes I agree
One of the reasons I think he is looking so well n doing so well is bc he is in love.

I love your show!! You are probably the best interviewer. Probably because you can relate to a lot of these musicians struggles.
how on earth he is 30!! He looks so young! super cool interview
30 isn’t old though??
@@MACKAVON Everyone thinks once you hit 30 you're instantly old. Boomers laughing at u rn lol.

Colson is the sweetest loved him on my girl Kelly’s show so proud of all of his accomplishments!:)
his music saved my life. i’m so glad he didn’t stop making music
He should have, what a fkn poser he is

So beautiful the tattoos, his voice when he talks he’s his own person, one of a kind, huge fan. I love his music...
“I just fell inlove for the first time” ahhh ♥️♥️
i love that he's introducing himself as colson!
You really get a glimpse of just how deep he is and people who are just tuning in are like whoah😱 !
Great interview Kelly & also thanks MGK for sharing your world
He is beyond talented.. singer , movie star , tattoo artist , and poet ! Not to mention a great dad .. He’s getting older and has finally fell in love .
EMT 623 he has no talent he's a poser

Mgk been making moves this year gotta respect that and him getting up from an L and turning it around. Even Drake gave him respect and words of encouragement.💪🏾
When did he ever take an L?
He never took L the reason why he lost the beef bc eminem have bigger fan base that it and were just picking sides at that moment
@@Sh4dy313 during his beef with Eminem but that's mainly because of the aftereffects of battling with Eminem. He had gotten a lot of hate at the time but won respect back cause of talent.
I wouldn't count it as an L. They both benefited from the beef. Both had solid diss tracks, Kells to me had some better more solid points. I love them both but Kells is deff winning 2020
@@Sh4dy313 Yeah I can agree there.
dont judge a book by its cover........this guy is that damn book!

Been rocking with this man since the lace up days. This is a legend right here. So glad he's seems to be doing much better now
He’s so gorgeous
Seeing Colson being on talk shows speaking on his music makes me so thrilled as a fan who's been a fan since his 2nd album. He finally is getting the recognition he deserves.
Machine Gun Kelly calling Kelly dude is so funny to me🤣
It's a slung
"im going to talk about that in therapy next week" - same!!!
He's so cute. How he acts. Kells is just a wonderful person. Flawed but deeply profound and very kind. You can tell from his interviews and just how much he loves his daughter. And then you can see long time friends still with him. Kells had been through so much and he really deserves all the good things in the world
2:36, when he grabbed the pillow and held it... I really felt that
I like this dude! To know n hear him talk truth is really eye opening. He gained a new fan today!!!
Gotta love him grabbing the pillow showing that vulnerability and honesty on a live show.
“I’m gonna talk about that in therapy next week” lol
