I met her at her tour after she won idol. In the back stage VIP line I waited to get her autograph. Security strictly told me one autograph each (Clay Aiken was with her). When I approached her I timidly said “can I get one more for my mom?” At that point I was scared of her response or the security’s reaction. But she was so gracious and lovely. She burst out “of course!!! As many as you want, I’m here because of you and your mom!” She is a really true and beautiful soul. God bless her.
@@freshstart4423 True, but if she just won Idol she was That new to celebrity. She was also trapped in a terrible and abusive contract. She has certainly came out the other side still with a lot of grace, humility, and yet can stand up for herself now with confidence
In 8 minutes she was able to relate, give great advice, and be honest and true to herself all while smiling and laughing about it. What an amazing strong woman.
Re: Her father...”It’s hard to miss something you never had.” She is genuine and authentic and speaks her truth to her core. I have never heard her speak negatively about anyone publicly in any interview . That is what makes her shine bright!
@@car5757 Kelly doesn't speak kindly about her ex-husband and his father nor should she. Both guys are low-life greedy douchebags. Kelly's ex-husband ripped her off financially. His father did the same thing to Reba.
Honestly, Kelly Clarkson is up there with Dolly Parton. Just a true genuine, kind, caring, empathetic soul & human. She's so humble & seeks kindness even in darkness.
So true Kelly! "You shouldn't have to work that hard for someone's love." Family doesn't have to mean "blood related." Good for you to remove yourself from those toxic situations. I can totally relate. ❤
Belle Bernard It's eaiser said than done for some us. I have put a lot of weight just since the middle of 2013. I have gone from a size 7-16. All due to stress and other personal things. Sometimes it's not easy to control.
"Whoever it is in your life-if someone presents such a cancerous environment, it just keeps hurting you and even if they are doing it inadvertently and they just don't know better, you should just not have that person in your life. And it's okay, that's not a hateful situation, you just go your own way." - Kelly Clarkson
I am so blown away by this observation from Kelly...in a good healthy mindful way! I just went no contact with my mother about 10 months ago bc of similar reasons. The "inadvertently and don't know better part" was my hold up for so many years.
@@stephanie_smith This is me and my sister, she's 11 years older than I and unfortunately just a cancer in my life.

She definitely didn't, but you can tell it hurt her. Her performance on the final season of Idol proves that. One of her greatest ever, but it came from the heart. No matter what, when a parent abandons a child, they never get over it.
@@julioramirez5303 - No, only her father. Here she's basically talking about how her mom remarried a couple times so she's had step-siblings and different ppl coming into their lives and eventually leaving I guess.
She’s totally right. You shouldn’t have to work that hard for someone’s love. Especially not a parent. There comes a time when you have to walk away. For your own well being.

@Jack the world revolved around my younger half brother who passed at 34. He then decided to finally be a Grandfather to my son. I don't know why I keep trying but I feel obligated now that his wife is damn near blind(maculative degeneres (sp) and he's got onset demimentia
I’m 50 years old. And to this day my father will visit my brother (which so happens to also be my neighbor) but doesn’t even bother to knock on my door. And I hope he never does. I opened my eyes at 16. Love you Kelly. Keep those beautiful tunes coming ❤️
My mother does this as well. Although my sister lives 45 minutes away she doesn't tell me she's coming to visit her. Parents choose to birth children, but we as children aren't responsible to teach them how to parent. We have to learn to thrive and find our way without them. God bless all the parentless children.
People would tell me and my sister “He’s still your father. He gave you life” They don’t live my life, they don’t know what it’s like until it happens to them.
When she said "Yeah, I grew up in a small town" my brain just went "grew up in a small town and when the rain would fall down, I'd just stare out my window"...
This is one of my favorite interviews of Kelly Clarkson. When she talked about her father and she loving him to where it’s humiliating, wow. Spoke so much and deeply to me. Have never heard anyone say something I’ve felt make such clear sense.
My father just recently passed and I've had a horrible relationship with my mother since I was about 8. I still forgive her every day for the things she says and the way she treats me but after listening to Kelly say what she said it gives me hope that I may one day be able to do the same in my own life and rid myself of the toxic people

Me too~~Loved her from the moment I saw her on Idol and I told everybody that she was gonna win~~I just new it and she has has come a long way as I knew she would~~She's so real~~
6:45 After several years of heartache, and emotional abuse, someone asked me a very important question that changed my life forever. It is........ "If these people wernt related to you, would you have anything to do with them? Act accordingly. ".
Imagine a stranger beating you, calling you names, saying you are crazy, and you just say, awesome dude let's have some lunch and celebrate how great you are cuz ... 😄
Wow! This message was perfectly timed for me. My entire life, I’ve had no relationship with my older brother. He lives 10 minutes away and has never once contacted me to simply ask how I am. If I don’t reach out, I hear nothing. It’s been extremely hurtful, but I’m choosing to quit trying. And I’ll be ok. Thank you, Kelly. 💗
Same here, having 4 siblings on my father's side and 3 siblings on my mother's side that I was raised with means 7x of that. Even when I went thru a cancer battle 5 siblings and my mother just totally abandoned me. One brother did take me to a couple appointments and I am extremely grateful. One only called when he needed money. Otherwise didn't have time to be bothered to even call to check on me. Very painful but by God's grace I am still here and everyday getting stronger. What Kelly Clarkson just said and her overall attitude help me to realize that it's okay to stop trying, to keep moving forward because my future is bright! And so is yours!!!
My father remarried but to his mistress, after our mom died. Completely forgot about us, our children and our grandchildren. My youngest brother keeps in touch with him but only when dad needs something. I don't need or want him in my life. So I have shut that door. The two of them gave my mom a lot of pain, so it's best he stays with them.
I can relate. Dysfunctional family of mine. With everyone in my family. My mom, dad, stepdad, step siblings, real brothers, my only confidant is my sister.
She is so down to earth, relatable, wise and just very cool. I love listening to her speak each time. And she's one of the most talented women out there imo. So love Kelly. 👌❤️
I don't pay much attention to pop stars so I had no idea Kelly Clarkson was such a lovely person. She really impressed me here. So wise, funny, kind, and down to earth. It's refreshing to see someone like her get famous! Also, all of these people hating on Kathy Griffin for not being 20 years old anymore are ridiculous - they should pray they look that good when they're coming up on 60. Her short hair is a tribute to her sister who got cancer.
had a guy say he couldn't date me because I had short hair...i said well this wont work then since I alopecia, I can throw a wig on. What can you do to fix your shitty attitude. I love kathy what she did was amazing.
Kelly is such a genuine, forthcoming woman and a huge talent! Love her! As she spoke about her father, she described my mother to a T, however I made a different choice. My mom grew up in extremely abusive circumstances and was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder many years ago. She was never the kind of mother I needed her to be and I always say I raised myself. She now resides in a nursing home, wheelchair bound and suffering with a multitude of chronic illnesses. I have overseen the quality of her care for the past 12 years and will ensure that she is as well cared for as possible. I have compassion for her but I also have learned to set healthy boundaries for myself. I also ended the long cycle of dysfunction that runs thr' my family tree and raised my two children to always know how much they are loved and wanted. I couldn't have asked for better children!!! I think each and every person has to decide what is best for them as no two circumstances or people are the same even if the similarities are strikingly familiar.
I like Kelly's philosophy. I loved my aunt, I think she loved me but she was very complex. She always fed my kids and I carne as ada Spanish rice and Coca-Cola in the 70's. She was very generous with food and gifts 🎁. She liked to bring up unpleasant history and beat a dead horse 🐎. I got angry one time. She admitted, she was just trying to get my goat ! I distanced myself. I loved her from afar and I miss her. My cousin told me to stay away from people like that. They like to bring you down. RIP 🙏
The way she smiles and laughs even after so much pain gives me an overwhelming and a heart-wrenching feeling at the same time. Broken childhood sucks. Hats off to her for being so strong. Strong is a small word for her,she's beyond strong.
She is the first celebrity that I can genuinely and completely relate to. I had a similar upbringing with scattered family members who had their own vices or reasons for not having relationships with whoever. I didn’t realize how damaging and relevant it was until I was an adult. But hearing Kelly speak like this about her experiences with toxic family and broken homes or relationships puts it in a positive tone for me. It really puts it in a different light and it’s nice to see it hasn’t made her into a woe-is-me, clout-seeking celebrity. It made her skin thick and her mind stronger. The way I wish I could adapt the same mentality and apply it in my own life so I could be less bitter. Kelly is truly a diamond in the rough.
I don’t think there’s anybody that could out sing her. Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion have dynamite voices, but they are so studied and affected. Kelly is a natural woman. She can crush a song as well as squeeze every emotional drop out of it and you feel and believe every bit of it.
My late husband and I watched the very first American Idol. Kelly is also the age of our daughter. I couldn't believe how much he like the show and especially Kelly. I don't mean this in a creepy way, but I've followed her achievements and been to many of her concerts. She feels so down to earth like she could be America's kid. When my husband died she got me through some pretty rough times. Thank you, Kelly!
What a cold set! They all just stare at Kelly like she has three heads. She is so down to earth and bubbly and the rest look so stiff like a job interview. Painful to watch. Love Kelly Clarkson!!!
I think Kathy was just listening and every now and then would quip in with Kelly, so she was being decent but Kygo and his manager were definitely not following anything Kelly was saying. lol. They were in their own worlds there which is sad because Kelly has been around for a while and could learn from her.
@@jre20111 she was answering questions, she was being Kelly... Kelly talks alot. It's because she is real, she is open, and she is awesome. She wasn't sitting in on a formal hearing, she was a guest, invited on, to interact and talk. She is the type of person I aspire to be.
Now I feel OK about stopping trying with my family member who is impossible to get along with. It's OK to move on. I'm not God, so it's not my job to fix her. I have a life to live. I have my own struggles to deal with. I don't have to keep trying after decades of getting beat down by the person.
d m ; I did as well. Then She went and damaged that a bit, with an Obnoxious as Always, "M Obama" Quote 😠 Decent Americans Don't want to hear Anything an "OBAMA" Ever Said. Just Praying They Will Go The 🤬 Away‼️😠
Poor as in no money or poor as in you have sympathy for her? Sorry to hear this obviously. Have you cut the cord or still keeping in touch? Just wondering sorry.
I have always adored Kelly!! She’s such a real and loving person! And I can definitely relate to the fact that you can’t force something that won’t happen. It shouldn’t be work to have real love in a family!😍👍
I think people love Kelly because of her real life attitude. She regrets nothing. Learns lessons from her mistakes. Just real.. She really is the American girl next door.
Kathy Griffith has that vibe and look of hate on her face. And the 2 young men had a look of "I'm uncomfortable" on their faces. Kelly Clarkson seems humble and a positive attitude about her. Love her attitude..
@@justin01144 Thank you, for the kind, supportive comment. Life's a learning experience, isn't it. We must support a society that creates vocational opportunities and affordable schooling for young people, so they become prepared for their future. I "missed the boat". At age 56 and a life long asthmatic, I've become dependent on my 20 days of vacation and the FMLA for asthma (btw, only large companies provide FMLA and it takes a year to qualify). So, like many "working poor", I don't have the skills or capital to "make a change". It's ok, though; I'm one of many and it could be worse. In the meantime, I try to make healthy choices and I hope, Biden's Infrastructure Plan offers educational and vocational opportunities for job seekers of all ages. It's true: "a country is only as strong as it's middle class". We need to vote for public servants who care about that. Thanks and take care.
I can so relate to Kelly on the whole father thing. My father wasn't part of my life much from day one and as I got older I tried to get a relationship with him but he didn't want it. He has missed out on so much of my life; like me getting my GED , having a son, getting married , ext... But as the same with Kelly the way I grew up and the life I had made me who I am today. Looking at the things we have in common and how successful she is #kellyclarkson is my idol.
Thank you for being transparent and sharing a bit of your personal life. You continue to grow and not conform to the BS from the cruel hateful peeps. You. Are precious and inspirational dear Kelly. Never stop dreaming no matter what age, race or religion you associate with. That’s my philosophy. It’s about attitude and gratitude on this journey of life. Challenging circumstances are learning experiences. Bless y’all and thanks for sharing. I have learned it is ok to say no and be picky. Hugs
I'm so thankful for get message. I've been struggling with the decision to not have a relationship with my mother. I agree... You shouldn't have to work so hard for people to love you. Thanks Kelly💙
Smart ass woman. She deserve to be in a talk show she tells reality no bs and she explain herself real clear its true why would you miss someone who was really never tried to be in your life.
Everybody doesn't shit roses all the time😂😂😂😂😂this is why I love Kelly she is so real and just down to earth plain spoken and she doesn't even act like a celeb and omg she's so talented .......best female singer to be on idol in my opinion just love her💜💞💜
This what I needed to hear today Kelly! Tears were streaming down my face. It is so hard when some in your life has toxic venom your way. No matter what you say or do, their narrative of who they think you are will never change. It is a loos but is humiliating when you have tried numerous times and you get bread crumbs or none at all. I have needed to set boundaries instead of being trampled over repeatedly. Today, I surround myself with those that have peace, love and joy to give me.
I can relate to feeling I get bread crumbs from certain people and as I look back I tell myself but even the crumbs are love but yet I repeatedly get upset at them over it.
Kelly is always down-to-earth and genuine. I love her as a person and her music. She's able to sing anything, any time and to borrow a well-worn cliché...she could sing the telephone book and get a standing ovation.
Well said Kelly!! Absolutely! You can't miss what you never had! Sometimes you have to emotionally divorced your toxic parent! A child should never work hard to gain the love of a parent.
Well, i'v never seen my father ever (he left us a few months before i was born) and i never really cared/ missed ( i can't say missed because i have never seen him in the first place sooo😂😂)
Kelly Clarkson; you’re honesty and vulnerability makes you our hero! You’re songs inspire me, motivate me, helps me work through battles. You are beyond beautiful, funny, personable approachable and it’s easy to see you give lots of love to those around you. I agree on steering away from a toxic unchanging relationship. There is s price to pay but more peace to gain. You keep rocking you’re awesome! 💓
I love this girl! She's got to be one of the most grounded down-to-earth people/celebrities I've ever seen! I just love how honest and straight up she is, not very much of those in showbiz...I appreciate and applaud you Ms Kelly!👏👏💯💛
How can anyone hate on her, she is amazing! Saw her in person a few times and she lights up wherever she goes. She is so humbled, humorous and honest. She has so much empathy, and consideration and when she speaks she gives you so much to respond to and relate to. I admire her so much❤
I probably understand because I had problems with mine and my mother when she drank. But you're right, most people don't understand, that's why I don't tell them.
Exactly. You don't need to like your dad or mom just because they're your parents. It's not that I hate him, I just don't care about him anymore because he's never cared about me. For me it's just a stranger but most of the people would never understand it.
MrsStrong95 I totally get It, I don't know anyone else in my situation, I maybe 27 and my Dad hasn't been in my life for more than 25 years but I still would love that relationship but I have heard how much hurt he has caused. I would love to hear his side but my family don't want me to and I don't want to hurt them.
The only ones that understand, are the ones who are living it. Since I was 4 my birth father abandoned me. To this day I really don't have a decent relationship with him. I just adore Kelly Clarkson.. A fan that could be her mother..😁😁

Same here, having 4 siblings on my father's side and 3 siblings on my mother's side that I was raised with means 7x of that. Even when I went thru a cancer battle 5 siblings and my mother just totally abandoned me. One brother did take me to a couple appointments and I am extremely grateful. One only called when he needed money. Otherwise didn't have time to be bothered to even call to check on me. Very painful but by God's grace I am still here and everyday getting stronger. What Kelly Clarkson just said and her overall attitude help me to realize that it's okay to stop trying, to keep moving forward because my future is bright! And so is yours!!!
My father remarried but to his mistress, after our mom died. Completely forgot about us, our children and our grandchildren. My youngest brother keeps in touch with him but only when dad needs something. I don't need or want him in my life. So I have shut that door. The two of them gave my mom a lot of pain, so it's best he stays with them.
i have the same situation with my siblings - so sad but true- thanks for sharing your story/family and truth
People are awful at best. ❤❤ I can’t stand when family doesn’t check in on you it’s the stupidest thing.
I can relate. Dysfunctional family of mine. With everyone in my family. My mom, dad, stepdad, step siblings, real brothers, my only confidant is my sister.
She is so down to earth, relatable, wise and just very cool. I love listening to her speak each time. And she's one of the most talented women out there imo. So love Kelly. 👌❤️
Like a better-singer version of Adele..
I don't pay much attention to pop stars so I had no idea Kelly Clarkson was such a lovely person. She really impressed me here. So wise, funny, kind, and down to earth. It's refreshing to see someone like her get famous!
Also, all of these people hating on Kathy Griffin for not being 20 years old anymore are ridiculous - they should pray they look that good when they're coming up on 60. Her short hair is a tribute to her sister who got cancer.
She is always this,awesome
vayas09 thank you for saying that.
@RaggsNation Oh she was a real witch! Spewing venom like a snake. Just like you said.
She sucks for every Griffin was horrible comic. Never liked her on the New Year ball drop. Just nasty through and through
had a guy say he couldn't date me because I had short hair...i said well this wont work then since I alopecia, I can throw a wig on. What can you do to fix your shitty attitude. I love kathy what she did was amazing.
Kelly is such a genuine, forthcoming woman and a huge talent! Love her!
As she spoke about her father, she described my mother to a T, however I made a different choice. My mom grew up in extremely abusive circumstances and was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder many years ago. She was never the kind of mother I needed her to be and I always say I raised myself. She now resides in a nursing home, wheelchair bound and suffering with a multitude of chronic illnesses. I have overseen the quality of her care for the past 12 years and will ensure that she is as well cared for as possible. I have compassion for her but I also have learned to set healthy boundaries for myself. I also ended the long cycle of dysfunction that runs thr' my family tree and raised my two children to always know how much they are loved and wanted. I couldn't have asked for better children!!!
I think each and every person has to decide what is best for them as no two circumstances or people are the same even if the similarities are strikingly familiar.
hi, and how do I decide what's best for me? It seems everyone has some advice to give me and I just feel like I am lost on some island.
I'm impressed with Kelly's maturity. Well done!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Kelly Clarkson!!!!!! She is a breath of fresh air, so unpretentious and real.
I like Kelly's philosophy. I loved my aunt, I think she loved me but she was very complex. She always fed my kids and I carne as ada Spanish rice and Coca-Cola in the 70's. She was very generous with food and gifts 🎁. She liked to bring up unpleasant history and beat a dead horse 🐎. I got angry one time. She admitted, she was just trying to get my goat ! I distanced myself. I loved her from afar and I miss her. My cousin told me to stay away from people like that. They like to bring you down. RIP 🙏
She has the most amazing voice❤️❤️❤️
I'd love to read a Kelly Clarkson autobiography.
Absolutely
Me too
Yes, I would read it piece by piece! That should be the title too! 🧩
So would I
It would be so real, full of humor, tears, triumphs, and heartbreak, but most importantly her strength shines through it all.
"You could've just said you voted for Justin"😂😂😂
Kelly Clarkson is absolutely amazing.
The way she smiles and laughs even after so much pain gives me an overwhelming and a heart-wrenching feeling at the same time. Broken childhood sucks. Hats off to her for being so strong. Strong is a small word for her,she's beyond strong.
She is the first celebrity that I can genuinely and completely relate to. I had a similar upbringing with scattered family members who had their own vices or reasons for not having relationships with whoever. I didn’t realize how damaging and relevant it was until I was an adult. But hearing Kelly speak like this about her experiences with toxic family and broken homes or relationships puts it in a positive tone for me. It really puts it in a different light and it’s nice to see it hasn’t made her into a woe-is-me, clout-seeking celebrity. It made her skin thick and her mind stronger. The way I wish I could adapt the same mentality and apply it in my own life so I could be less bitter. Kelly is truly a diamond in the rough.
@Sarah Denney. You’re partly right. She is a diamond, but there is absolutely nothing rough about her.
Kelly Clarkson is so the epitome of class and beauty!!!!! And she is such a wonderful and gorgeous woman!!!!!!
Who knew Kelly Clarkson was such a sage? Inspirational woman, indeed.
I don’t think there’s anybody that could out sing her. Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion have dynamite voices, but they are so studied and affected. Kelly is a natural woman. She can crush a song as well as squeeze every emotional drop out of it and you feel and believe every bit of it.
God bless Kelly. She speaks the truth. Much love from TN
I love how pragmatic Kelly is about the world and her place in it.
I love Kelly even more! I appreciate that she is so real!
"It's hard to miss what you never have" my statement for real & I love it!!!😊 and can relate with regards to my mom. No one needs toxic
I agree! People often try to make me feel guilty for not keeping in contact with my mom but why should I keep someone toxic in my life.
❤️👍 totally agree!! Same here!
When asked about " missing his dad "? My son use to say the same thing.
Everyone loves Kelly. She's so relatable
Jason O'Daniel she talks all the damn time like she’s on speed
Jason O'Daniel shut up nerd when they said everybody loves her they were talking about a majority so bruh shut up
My late husband and I watched the very first American Idol. Kelly is also the age of our daughter. I couldn't believe how much he like the show and especially Kelly. I don't mean this in a creepy way, but I've followed her achievements and been to many of her concerts. She feels so down to earth like she could be America's kid. When my husband died she got me through some pretty rough times. Thank you, Kelly!
I just love this woman - she is so down to earth - smart strong and loving - like a free spirit - she makes you feel good just to listen to her talk.
What a cold set! They all just stare at Kelly like she has three heads. She is so down to earth and bubbly and the rest look so stiff like a job interview. Painful to watch. Love Kelly Clarkson!!!
Think it was her turn to be interviewed...
I think Kathy was just listening and every now and then would quip in with Kelly, so she was being decent but Kygo and his manager were definitely not following anything Kelly was saying. lol. They were in their own worlds there which is sad because Kelly has been around for a while and could learn from her.
Lol 3 heads yea
elijahendtre kind of hard to follow her, she doesn’t shut up long enough to answer a question then goes on and on at 100 mph
@@jre20111 she was answering questions, she was being Kelly... Kelly talks alot. It's because she is real, she is open, and she is awesome. She wasn't sitting in on a formal hearing, she was a guest, invited on, to interact and talk.
She is the type of person I aspire to be.
Wow, I wish American chat shows were this in depth. I'm not sure if those were approved questions, but she handled everything really well.
I love that they actually allowed her to talk! She is brilliantly intelligent
Past American chat shows were very deep like the Dick Cavett Show ... but now it's just to grab attention/viewers the fastest way.
I love how personal and sharing she is.
She said some truly profound things here. I appreciate her being so open to share that.
I could hear Kelly talk for days. Very easy going and entertaining.
Now I feel OK about stopping trying with my family member who is impossible to get along with. It's OK to move on. I'm not God, so it's not my job to fix her. I have a life to live. I have my own struggles to deal with. I don't have to keep trying after decades of getting beat down by the person.
Same
I have so much respect and love for Kelly Clarkson she’s always so positive she’s a joy to listen too
d m ;
I did as well.
Then She went and damaged that a bit,
with an Obnoxious as Always, "M Obama" Quote 😠
Decent Americans Don't want to hear Anything an "OBAMA" Ever Said.
Just Praying They Will Go The 🤬 Away‼️😠
She's so well rounded. It's great when people figure stuff out at a young age. He children will be better off for it.
She just had a baby, you stupid b***h! STFU!
+mrssie1223 lmao
mrssie1223 oh, you didn’t get what Dachdog said. Try to understand it in deeper meaning. She obviously did not mean it about Kelly’s appearance.
@Stefani Christine Well rounded in weight too... LOL
This is so true xx
Omg! Finally a pop artist with real depth and worthy of respect
When people are toxic/cancerous yeah you have to cut them out. I wasted too many years on my poor broken mother.
I can honestly relate to this. Thank you!!!
Poor as in no money or poor as in you have sympathy for her? Sorry to hear this obviously. Have you cut the cord or still keeping in touch? Just wondering sorry.
@@halloweellahere7602 I'm 100% sure they meant poor broken as in "poor broken". Not like $.
I have always adored Kelly!! She’s such a real and loving person! And I can definitely relate to the fact that you can’t force something that won’t happen. It shouldn’t be work to have real love in a family!😍👍
Kelly Clarkson is so real, I love to hear her speak and sing.
My favorite IDOL of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! QUEEN.
Lily ZeMengist mine too.
Lilly who ???
I think people love Kelly because of her real life attitude. She regrets nothing. Learns lessons from her mistakes. Just real.. She really is the American girl next door.
Kathy Griffith has that vibe and look of hate on her face. And the 2 young men had a look of "I'm uncomfortable" on their faces. Kelly Clarkson seems humble and a positive attitude about her. Love her attitude..
She's listening, not hating. :)
Where Griffith is concerned...Trump Derangement Syndrome
Kathy Griffith is hateful, always has been........she held Trumps severed head (fake of course) to show her hatred!!!
At 8:35 "When do you stop trying?" Clarkson, "When something becomes humiliating". That's my workplace. No dignity.
Appaloosa Dreams change your job. Anything is possible. Start looking for another job that offers better environment and people.
Surly hope that after two years you were able to get away from the toxic environment. I know it can be hard.
@@justin01144 Thank you, for the kind, supportive comment. Life's a learning experience, isn't it. We must support a society that creates vocational opportunities and affordable schooling for young people, so they become prepared for their future. I "missed the boat". At age 56 and a life long asthmatic, I've become dependent on my 20 days of vacation and the FMLA for asthma (btw, only large companies provide FMLA and it takes a year to qualify). So, like many "working poor", I don't have the skills or capital to "make a change". It's ok, though; I'm one of many and it could be worse. In the meantime, I try to make healthy choices and I hope, Biden's Infrastructure Plan offers educational and vocational opportunities for job seekers of all ages. It's true: "a country is only as strong as it's middle class". We need to vote for public servants who care about that. Thanks and take care.
Cannot agree more with Kelly when she is talking our her relationship with her biological father... great lady!
I can so relate to Kelly on the whole father thing. My father wasn't part of my life much from day one and as I got older I tried to get a relationship with him but he didn't want it. He has missed out on so much of my life; like me getting my GED , having a son, getting married , ext... But as the same with Kelly the way I grew up and the life I had made me who I am today. Looking at the things we have in common and how successful she is #kellyclarkson is my idol.
Kelly Is A Everyday Kinda Person...Love Her Personality....Always Light & Bright!!! Stay You Kelly!!!
Kelly just outshines the rest of the guests! Everyone else looks so awkward.
Nichola Sewpersadh thats bc theyre listening, they cant all talk at the same time
@@DG-dh2lt I think she is saying that the others don't have chemistry with each other - Kelly is the glue here.
Chris R they do have chemistry, they know how to listen when someone else is talking
Everyone else had the focus on themselves before Kelly arrived this was her segment, it allows the other guests to show their respect also.
not really. they are just listening to her blab on and on. they already had their turn saying their bit.
Kelly is so real and sweet, I really admire her!
Kelly Clarkson has a true heart so on point!!!
What a lovely person Kelly Clarkson is!!
No wonder she puts so much of her heart into her songs
Shes so amazing. I agree.
very well outspoken, I see why she has her own talk show 👏🏽😍
She is an AWESOME & BEAUTIFUL human.
kelly is awesome!!! so grounded and natural.
Thank you for being transparent and sharing a bit of your personal life. You continue to grow and not conform to the BS from the cruel hateful peeps. You. Are precious and inspirational dear Kelly. Never stop dreaming no matter what age, race or religion you associate with. That’s my philosophy. It’s about attitude and gratitude on this journey of life. Challenging circumstances are learning experiences. Bless y’all and thanks for sharing. I have learned it is ok to say no and be picky. Hugs
KELLY CLARKSON THE REALEST PERSON EVER
I'm so thankful for get message. I've been struggling with the decision to not have a relationship with my mother. I agree... You shouldn't have to work so hard for people to love you. Thanks Kelly💙
Smart ass woman. She deserve to be in a talk show she tells reality no bs and she explain herself real clear its true why would you miss someone who was really never tried to be in your life.
Everybody doesn't shit roses all the time😂😂😂😂😂this is why I love Kelly she is so real and just down to earth plain spoken and she doesn't even act like a celeb and omg she's so talented .......best female singer to be on idol in my opinion just love her💜💞💜
What a strong, enthusiastic, balanced and intelligent woman 💖
Wise beyond the years . You must have been exposed to so many things . You go girl Kelly Clarkson keep being yourself . xx
She’s so down to earth and smart! I love her!
Sad 😔 that anyone would hate on this AMAZING woman.
This what I needed to hear today Kelly! Tears were streaming down my face. It is so hard when some in your life has toxic venom your way. No matter what you say or do, their narrative of who they think you are will never change. It is a loos but is humiliating when you have tried numerous times and you get bread crumbs or none at all. I have needed to set boundaries instead of being trampled over repeatedly. Today, I surround myself with those that have peace, love and joy to give me.
I can relate to feeling I get bread crumbs from certain people and as I look back I tell myself but even the crumbs are love but yet I repeatedly get upset at them over it.
Agreed. My father doesn’t have the capacity to care for his children, grandchildren or great grandchildren. He’s missing out on so much.
😢
Kelly is always down-to-earth and genuine. I love her as a person and her music. She's able to sing anything, any time and to borrow a well-worn cliché...she could sing the telephone book and get a standing ovation.
Oh my gosh. Was never really a big fan, but I just fell in love with Kelly Clarkson! 💖😍💕
Me too. I just LOVE her now.
How insightful and intelligent Kelly is and what she is saying is really helpful!!!
“You have to dream it to achieve it.” Very well said Kelly. 🌺
6:17 She starts talking about her dad
Well said Kelly!! Absolutely! You can't miss what you never had!
Sometimes you have to emotionally divorced your toxic parent! A child should never work hard to gain the love of a parent.
Well, i'v never seen my father ever (he left us a few months before i was born) and i never really cared/ missed ( i can't say missed because i have never seen him in the first place sooo😂😂)
Kelly Clarkson; you’re honesty and vulnerability makes you our hero! You’re songs inspire me, motivate me, helps me work through battles. You are beyond beautiful, funny, personable approachable and it’s easy to see you give lots of love to those around you. I agree on steering away from a toxic unchanging relationship. There is s price to pay but more peace to gain. You keep rocking you’re awesome! 💓
She is the sweetest person she is so down to earth and humble and I love when she does karaoke especially Will You still Love me Tomorrow wow
I love this girl! She's got to be one of the most grounded down-to-earth people/celebrities I've ever seen! I just love how honest and straight up she is, not very much of those in showbiz...I appreciate and applaud you Ms Kelly!👏👏💯💛
I had no idea Kelly Clarkson was such an awesome and real person!! Wow
It's hard to miss something you never had. AMEN! I don't have my father. I'm somewhat normal.
My father has always denied that I'm his. I'm 36 and it still bothers me
She's so down to earth and realistic... I just couldn't love her more...
How can anyone hate on her, she is amazing! Saw her in person a few times and she lights up wherever she goes. She is so humbled, humorous and honest. She has so much empathy, and consideration and when she speaks she gives you so much to respond to and relate to. I admire her so much❤
My daughter is so kind and genuine like Kelly Clarkston. I hope and pray someday she will meet her
I love her, Kelly is so humble and genuinely a great human being ❤️
I can totally relate to the relationship she has with her father. I have it the same way but nobody really understands.
I probably understand because I had problems with mine and my mother when she drank. But you're right, most people don't understand, that's why I don't tell them.
Exactly. You don't need to like your dad or mom just because they're your parents. It's not that I hate him, I just don't care about him anymore because he's never cared about me. For me it's just a stranger but most of the people would never understand it.
Max Payne Thanks for your irrelevant and unnecessary comment.
MrsStrong95 I totally get It, I don't know anyone else in my situation, I maybe 27 and my Dad hasn't been in my life for more than 25 years but I still would love that relationship but I have heard how much hurt he has caused. I would love to hear his side but my family don't want me to and I don't want to hurt them.
The only ones that understand, are the ones who are living it. Since I was 4 my birth father abandoned me. To this day I really don't have a decent relationship with him. I just adore Kelly Clarkson.. A fan that could be her mother..😁😁
I love her outlook on life its spot on she seems really happy and content and thats how we all should be she gave really good advice
She seems like one of those people who never lets fame change them, she seems so down to earth and genuine.
One of the most delightful people!! ❤❤
