Yet Another Kelly Clarkson Update
May 24th, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Weight Loss, Kelly Clarkson.Kelly Clarkson gets requested more on this website than any other celebrity. She apparently has a huge fan base. (Although I suspect the reason she gets requested so often is because people like arguing in the comments section about if they think she is fat or not). But anyway. 
Here are two photos of Kelly from last night’s American Idol finale. She does look to have lost a few more pounds. I’m guessing her busy schedule has forced her to change her eating habits. Or perhaps she has started working out more often.
She looks awesome in this^ photo!
dang, baby got back!
I adore her and she looks slimmer than the last time I saw her…her hair looks fab, best its ever been
haha I agree. she is quite curvy in the butt area
She is losing weight. I thought she looked a little full in the black dress and was surprised to see her with her stomach out later in the show, but she looked good.
oww she actually looks pretty hot!! very curvy and sexy.
loooove her soooo much! she looks like me in the butt area XD
well, she certainly looks better than last time I saw a picture of her.
By the way, could you do a post about ‘36 best & worst beach bodies’ from the latest star magazine? I’m a foreigner and I can’t get my hands on that mag, but there is an awfully photoshopped Kate Hudson on the cover (seen it on some site).
OK!! If Britney is “FAT” Kelly Clarkson is a fucking whale and her weight is unhealthy!!
i love her and thinks she looks great! the first pic she looks amazing! although im not fond of that black dress and high boots. not flattering
She looks a lot better in photo #1 than I have seen her look in recent times.If that butt is firm, it’s trully amazing!
Man she is so hot. Those thick, juicy curves are beautiful. Nothing else to really say, she is incredible.
She looks cute in the first picture. The dress in the second picture is not very flattering for her figure. She looks like she may have lost some.
Love her voice, love her hair. I guess she must be a naturally pretty heavy girl if this is the lower end of her weight range. I think she does need to exercise to tone up and lose weight, but I’d LOVE to sing like she does!
dear lord, her gigantic body was so distracting.
she’s pretty, but her weight doesn’t look healthy. argue curves or fat all you like, fact is she’s short and she should lose a couple of pounds for health sake, if nothing else.
She looks better in that top, but still the best thing about Clarkson is her voice and…… her voice. Only.
are u nuts? she looks awful in all the pics! not in shape..I can only think of greecy McDonald when I see her
I emailed a request earlier today for this post. Awesome to see a response so quickly. I think she is noticeably thinner. I think she is just pear shaped and often doesn’t dress well to hide it but I think she looked great here.
She’s definitely lost SOME weight. Girl has back though!
Looking pretty good I think.
she is HUGE
honestly, im not one of those eating disored people or even that thin (im a size 6).. but this girl is BIG
her arse.. and well lets just say her thighs are like tree trunks. i could never be confortable in that size
but one of my friends is quite large and at least she knows how to dress
She is not huge. She is a normal (aka “Real Person” not “Hollywood”) size, a US 8 at the most. She just needs to learn how to dress her body type in a more flattering way.
She is very talented and is one of those lucky people who still manages to look beautiful even with a few extra pounds.
Few things bother me as much as when singers perform barefoot. Why?!?!?! I just don’t get it!
I think Kelly is one of those people that appears overweight because of her body type. She has very short legs and a long torso. I think its all about the way she is built; like someone else said, she just needs to dress better for her body type. She is a big-boned/thick girl. A year or two ago when she lost some weight, she looked a bit odd because her head seemed too big for her body - the lollipop syndrome. Not everyone is supposed to be rail thin!
yeah she looks fine! my guess is a US 8 as well.
she looks healthy - sure she could lose a few but she’s alright now too
and unlike britney, shes on stage cause she can actually sing. all britney was ever popular for was her sex appeal so she NEEDS a rockin bod for her comeback
I simply LOVE her (ass)! I really wish I was just a bit curvy like that…with boobs though. She looks great!
Her legs are still thick, but her tummy,arms, and face are a lot smaller. She looked really cute last night. I think she hired a stylist.
She looks better, but I just won’t ever accept the concept of her as a pretty woman. Her looks just do not appeal to me. The girl has got some great pipes though!
she looks sexy
that is one great ass
The first photo is amazing but the second bring us back to earth with a thud THOSE BOOTS!!! How could she????
She looks good compared to her previous photos, but very bad compared to her body from that ‘’since you’ve been gone'’ video…
she looks good in person, and really is a sweet and gorgeous person both in and out…but she isn’t losing weight or getting thinner. i’m not going to interject my opinion on whether or not she needs to lose weight…but i’ve seen her very recently and see her every so often, and i feel that she’s the biggest now i’ve ever seen her. although she truly is not as big in person as she appears in photographs.
HUGE ASS
I agree, if britney is fat, what the hell is she???????????
girl is just thick….
she looked lovely last night,
and performed very well!
Booty is where it’s at — there is NOTHING wrong with the way Kelly’s built!
She’s got a very Latina-style build (See Vida Guerra, earlier Jennifer Lopez, etc.) — and as someone mentioned earlier, that often comes with a longer torso, shorter legs, and a thicker hip/ thigh area… oh yeah, and the shelf-booty (one of which I am a proud owner, and QUITE in shape, thanks).
Fact of the matter is that no matter how much weight someone with this build might drop, the shape never really changes — bottom-heavy is what it is, as is a pear-shape. A healthy, solid, athletic woman of that build stull will have back… it’ll just be firm and perky, not jiggly and cottage-cheesy.
It takes all kinds! Not everybody was made to look unhealthy and skeletal… in fact, nobody really should!
I hope she’s not losing a lot of weight! She’s my fattie icon (and I mean that in the nicest way possible). She has a really concave curve in her back in the first picture. You can definitely see she has a pear-shaped body in the first one.
Yeah she’s a normal full figured gal, but does look great. I don’t see anything wrong w/ her 2 looks. The dress and boots looked good on her. The low rise pants looked good on her, there were no bulges. Plus, the girl can siiing! There have been some no nice pictures of her, but, that’s on her down time. Overall she seems to wear clothes that fit her figure and her style. The reason I think people seem to disagree so much w/ her weight is because they are not used to seing a full figured girl wear short revealing clothes.
too chunky for my liking. in the first photo it looks like her body has been digitally enlarged around the hips - the top half of her looks relatively normal and her huuuge bottom is rather incongruous.
also, i hate her thigh high hooker boots.
faye- She doesn’t look to be overweight to the point of it being a health concern Dr. Oz says that the only really important measurements concerning fat/weight and health are you cholesterol levels and how big around your waist is. Kelly’s waist looks pretty small compared to the rest of her, and you can clearly see in pic one that she doesn’t have much of a gut. Hips, thighs and butt have nothing to do with health.
She looks so good!!!!
She looks awesome!
Like of the chain!
Wow
I love her, but the girl needs a stylist!!
kat- you are right about Britney NEEDING her sex appeal….Kelly actually HAS talent, so her looks havent really mattered in her career.
With Brit, her looks was all that was ever there, so thats why she gets more criticism..
She’s definately always had a little bit of curve to her- but I can’t imagine her any other way. She can get away with it, for some reason. Although I wouldn’t want to see her in a bikini…
kelly clarkson always performs barefoot for whoever made the comment earlier. if shes comfortable that way, who cares? shes a trillion times better than you anyway. in every aspect.
She’s just very pear-shaped.
I agree that the dress doesn’t flatter her body, in the first picture she looks like she has lost some, tho.
Yeah she looks better good job!
she is absolutely amazingly gorgeous and she has the greatest curves and the plumpest and most amazing asss i have ever seen.
well, you all probably know what im going to say.
She looks good. Yes, she’s pear shaped, but like its been said, she gets away with it.
And she is NOT overweight.
A US size 8? Are you crazy? I am a 6/8 and dont have a booty like that. I think she looks good, but is not an 8.
She is fat, fat, fat!!! And the dress and boots makes her look even fatter, shorter, stumpier, and just plain out gross.
UMM are you guys blind…she looks TERRIBLE she needs to lose like 30 pounds before she gets back on stage
I think this girl has personality and I love that she isn’t afraid to be bigger than the rest, but BUT i do think she needs a new stylist. With a bigger shape, there ARE clothes out there which still flatter, but a midriff-baring top is not it.
Too fat for the boots, too fat for the dress (arms hanging out), too fat for the belly-reveal, too big of a butt!
But dang, she can really belt it out! She rocks as a singer.
Does need to lose about 20 pounds.
She’s well-proportioned, but LORD!! You could rest a DRINK on that THING!
I’m her biggest fan in the world and think she looks awesome in the first photo, she looks like shes back at her prime like two years ago on the hazel eyes tour, but the second picture clothes really arent good on her, but she looks hot hot hot in the first picture
thanks rian! its cool how you listen to requests
For the people who are saying she is not overweight: I’m sorry, but she is. I didn’t say ugly, but she is definitely very heavy. Especially in the upper thigh/butt area.
1. she is NOT fat
2. she looks like everyone i know
3. who cares?? this country puts too much emphasis on looks rather than intelligence, and that’s a damn shame.
Her butt is HUGE!!!! I agree; she is overweight;
but, I guess if she’s confortable with her body, then
that’s her decision.
it seems overweight now means ‘any sign of feminine shape’
I give up. youre all a lost cause. Go persecute yourselves into oblivion.
shakira’s outfit
Overweight means having a bmi of over 24.9 which is kind of the case here.
I don’t think she looks bad actually but there is no way she is below 24.9. I’d say 26 or so.
I’d like to know how exactly some of you people define overweight.
There’s no way that girl is more than a US 8. I wear an 8, and while her butt and thighs look a little thicker than mine, she’s got me beat on the waist. I envy her curves.
She looks like a NORMAL woman. And there’s nothing unhealthy about her figure- carrying your weight on your hips and thighs is actually healthy.
she looks great the way she is, she shouldnt gain more weight though, that would be too unhealthy.
She looks really great in the first but absolutely HORRIBLE in the second. Haha! She looks so fat!!!!
She looks like the average woman. She’s not obese. She’s not skeletal. Very relatable.
she looks good in the first pic but i dont like the second
Glad to see a lot more positive, sane, and realistic posts on this board. Her ass is generous and beautiful and so feminine. Her whole body screams sex appeal.
I didn’t even realize she was barefoot til this pic! How funny!
Still fat.
C’mon … she’s not obese, but you can’t really believe that her weight is healthy!? She’s overweight. Overweight is normal, but it’s still overweight.
No way is she a size 8! She’s definately closer to a 12. The Average healthy size of American women…
she is dang at any weight
Anybody who thinks she needs to lose weight is mostly likely too thin themselves. Period..
Also, being larger than a certain size does not automatically mean you have health problems. Every body is different.
I must say, she isn’t OBESE, she isn’t even that overweight. If she went to the gym a few times a week she’d look fuckin amazing. Though it’s really about knowing how to dress your body, which she doesn’t.
I’m short and pear shaped also. I gain all of my weight at the bottom. My thighs are a size 10/12, but my waist is a size 6/8. If that’s your body type you can’t help it. Doesn’t make her overweight. I agree about her outfit not being flattering in the 2nd pic though she looks killer in the 1st. I think she has a great body. I’d KILL for that booty!
the second outfit is hideous !
She looks better, but definitely not “awesome.” Everyone’s back curves in from their ass..
she looks so much better.
love the badonkadonk!
OMG LOL the second pic!!! it’s like somebody put ice skates on an elephant or like a pig in stilettos
seriously, why the HELL would you wear those boots if your legs are that huge?!
overall, she looks to have lost a few lbs, but i get vertigo from staring @ her thighs and that doesn’t really even make any sense!
If that ass gets any bigger… it’s going to need it’s own postal code.
For the life of me i can not understand why anyone would want a body, and in particular - an ass, like that. Sorry if you disagree, but its true.
she’s a pear shape i think, so she naturally carries more weight in the hip/butt area. you can tell though that shes lost a healthy amount of weight, i think she looks wonderful!
her thigs are huge,her ass is gigantic, her face is just blaaaaaaaah
One word … ‘dumpy.’
Oh No! A Grl with Curves!! Say It aint so!!!! What has the world come to??!! LOL Don’t worry people having Curves Is Ok. Most Normal Healthy Woman have them. LOL You look good kelly, so keep doin what you’re doin!
the second outfit is only a bad choice if you want to disguise your thighs. If you want to play them up, its a good choice. Im sure i can think of many, MANY men who would see the second picture and think kelly looks delicious.
If men didnt like a woman’s curves, then our species would be in a LOT of trouble. fact.
That’s one weird body
But I hope she lost those few pounds with healthy eating and a little exercise — not some crazy crash diet because she felt pressure from the media.
agreed apricotmuffins. That’s why Vida Guerria was voted best ass by a mens magazine. Beyonce Is pretty well liked by the men as well. Cindy Crawford Is Hot with Curves. Tyra Banks has curves! jennifer Lopez’s ass back in the day was lusted by men all over, and woman wanted one just like It. I could go on and on….Curves are Sexy!
why should she disguise her thighs
its not like she is wearing hotpants
There’s a difference between “curvy” and “overweight.” As someone said earlier, “overweight” is defined as having a Body Mass Index (weight times 703 divided by height and divided by height again) greater than or equal to 25. It definitely looks as though she does.
I think she looks nice. And she doesn’t look horrible in the second picture. At least she doesn’t wear baggy clothes and tries to hide her body.
AND she has talent! That’s more what some of the skinny celebrities have out there. They are just skinny.
@ Natalia: you can’t chose what you are born with! You can only try and make the best out of it. And some people actually like curvy women and not a bag of bones!
She does look nice! I think Woman look much better when they are confident about themselves no matter what size they are. At one time people used to care about the music people sang(they are singers right?LOL) and not worry just about how someone looks. It’s sad that some “singers” and I use that word loosely are only liked for their skeletal appearance. At least Kelly really does have talent. I personally think she Is beautiful on top of being talented.
The bmi is a pile of steaming doo doo.
It does not take into account bone structure, activity level or muscle levels.
It was developed as a diagnostic tool for a narrow, male, sedantry demographic, not as an indicator of healthy weight in everyone.
A better way of assessing is the use of calipers and measuring the fat percentage in the body.
what happened to george clooney??? He lost like 20 pounds!!!!
Heavier or skinnier, she’s a great singer and a role model for young girls. More than I can say for most of the women posted on this sight.
Yeah a-muffins, BMI is totally inaccurate if you use the height/weight formula. It put me in the healthy range when I was excercising too much and had way too little body fat. 5′4″ 112lb is on the low side, but not underweight according to BMI calc and I was only 12.5% body fat. Ick.
She looks gorgeous and glowing in the first one. Go hate on somebody else if you feel the need.
All of you calling her fat are ridiculous and have incredibly distorted views of what ‘fat’ is.
Damn this Hollywood size 00 culture.
She’s lovely,yes she’s not super skinny but she is by no way fat,I’d say she’s a UK size 12(US
,if she wanted to she could lose maybe 14-20 lbs and not look too bad but anymore and I think she’d be too thin for her frame.She looks absolutely fine and not overweight at all.
It’s interesting to note that all the girls think she’s fat and all the guys think she looks hot.
Girls, don’t believe what the magazines tell you. It is not healthy to be a size 1 if you were meant to be a size 8.
I’m going to be one of those ridiculous-incredibly-distorted-hollywoodized-00-obsessed-losers that calls Kelly fat.
Kelly, you’re fat.
I think she is more than a US 8,…prob 10…then again, she is short so…
I envy her arms, they are pretty shapely.
I have to make point people, that you can tell alot about how a child will look by looking at their mother. Well, Kelly’s mom has that country bumpkin look that maybe says she eats country food, and we all know how that comfort eating works. My point being, this is Kelly’s body and its here to stay, like it or now. Working out can give you more shape, but you can’t change the shape you are given. Kelly looks awesome, despite how her body cards were dealt. But most importantly, she seems like a pretty beautiful person on the inside. Cliches be damned.
Good point John Doe. Luckly we still have some Woman out there who know What a REAL woman’s body should look like and a size 00 Isnt It. Don’t get me wrong as I believe Being extremly overweight Is just as unhealthy as being extremely skinny but she looks like she Is a happy medium.
That Kelly Clarkson is one hot piece of ACE. I know from experience dude.
John Doe-I’m female!I just don’t have a distorted view of things.
Tim Jones, do you mean ASS? lol
Abby, you have obviously never seen Billy Madison.
her ass is enormous.
I think all of you who say she isn’t fat have a distorted view of things — all of this “its ok to be chubby/fat/whatever” press championed by Tyra Banks, the news media, and others has desensitised us to fat and made us think it’s healthy. I don’t think that women should be a 00 or anything but Kelly is an example of someone who isn’t to the point of obesity but needs to lose weight anyway. That said, she does appear to have lost weight. I do think that her voice is amazing.
Baby got back..
Rach,
My opinion of a healthy body image is rooted in science. I do not take my facts or opinions from Tyra Banks. The truth is, fat is not nearly as bad as the media and the government would have you believe. Most fat, especially on women, is above the muscle and not so detrimental to one’s health as previously thought. The obesity “epidemic” and all the health problem’s that it entails are extremely misleading. There is very little data suggesting that fat is the cause of these problems. Evidence shows that diet is the main cause of the cardiovascular and other degenerative health diseases that are associated the so called ” fat epidemic.” More so, studies show that moderately overweight women who exercise have a much higher survival rate than their thinner companions.
I agree with apricotmuffins that BMI is dookie. She is overweight and makes bad fashion choices. The dress would have looked better with different shoes. Even though to me she is big, she is still smaller than the average American woman.
Signed,
Proud Fake Woman.
She is a fat pig, she needs to lose about 35 lbs, and definitely not wear clothers like that
man, some people on here are MEAN! whatever happened to keeping it light (no pun intended) and fun? people who are as mean as the person who commented above me def. have issues.
I was not trying to mean, just honest
You make alot of sense tim jones. Too bad more people on here didn’t. LOL Yeah Rach, because of Tyra Banks I think It’s ok for woman to be Obese. LOL I think just common sense would tell a person that eating sensibly and working out Is what everyone should be doing at ANY SIZE.
She is big, she is heavy, she is chubby. She looked better in the past, she looked healthier, slimmer, even though she was never nowhere near skinny. I have the feeling she looks ok for Americans and we all know why. But the fact is that here, in Europe, she would be considered fat. For sure. I like Kelly, so I don’t want to be mean, but she is not medium, that is a fact. Medium is a girl like Scarlett or like Shakira.
I’m going to be one of those annoying “Kelly’s body looks like mine, therefore she’s not fat” women. Too bad.
I do look bigger in photos, but here are my stats:
5′4″
130 lbs (one of you freaks can calculate my BMI if you want, but I guarantee it’s under 25)
34-25-37 (so obviously I’m a pear, with big thighs and ass)
size US 6
work out 5 days a week
love food, but don’t diet OR overindulge
Pretty fat, huh?? I used to be an actress, but glad I never got famous, because if my pic was on here, you vultures would tell me I needed to “tone”, had “elephant legs” or other such nonsense. Maybe it’s because I’m 28 and married, but um, I love my body and so have a lot of men. And I have plenty of skinnier friends who I’m not at all jealous of.
I don’t understand how you little girls can judge your fellow human beings and yourselves so harshly. I recognize that OBESE (and that ain’t Kelly Osborne) is unhealthy. But isn’t the beauty of a free society the fact that women are allowed be sexy at a variety of shapes and sizes?
tim jones, you are one of the few voices of reason on this increasingly nutty site. Bless you.
Most Woman here seem to agree that she looks to be about a size 8, so that would make her a Medium sized girl so It’s not a fact littlebluebear.
And to proove my point: I used to be 154 lbs at 5′6′’ when I worked in US for 3 months - and I looked slimmer than Kelly. Guys were asking me out and calling me hot - to me, it was very surprising, because back at home, nobody did. Plus, at home, I got fat jokes.
wtf does that prove??? LOL Just because you were overweight dosen’t mean that kelly Is. LOL
Well, Jasmyn, I place my bet on size 12-14 for pants and probably 8 for the top. That might make her medium, compared to the majority of American women, but the typical American women are overweight.
Jasmyn, if you calculate the BMI according to the numbers I gave you, it does not make me overweight. But that was totally NOT the point. The point was that Americans and Europens have different perceptions regarding weight. What looks fine in America, is probably fat in Europe, simply because Americans are fatter than Europeans. And I was guessing that the people who think she is ok are probably Americans. Well, I was assuming I was discussing with smart people who understand simple messages.
hvnlycrtr, I don’t usually join in these discussions but I’m confused as to why you are are comparing yourself with Kelly Clarkson. I’m guessing Kelly weighs at least 10 pounds more than you, if not more.
5′4 and 130 sounds healthy and fit to me…. and if you are happy with your body, who cares what anyone else thinks?
To my eyes, she and I look almost exactly the same. So I was just trying to prove a point to the people who thought they could guess her weight, size, BMI, etc… Having a tiny waist and small boobs, but bigger limbs (not to mention being short), can make one look bigger than they really are. No slight to you, SG, I just felt I had to say something as the comments are getting so out of control lately.
LittleBlueBear all I have to say Is are you serious? You just got done posting stats about yourself that are probably pretty damn close to what Kelly’s stats are, and you called her fat? LOL!! It looks like I do understand simple messages, dontcha think? LOL
I understand you are a fan, Jasmyn, but I already said I liked Kelly, so I am not against her or anything. I was discussing people’s perceptions on weight - and I just gave myself as an example, not to be judged, not to compare myself to Kelly, not to be a model, not to be called overweight or anything, but because my idea was as follows (really, this is the last time I am expressing it): people from different parts of the world interpret weight and body image differently. In Japan, she would be considered huge (because Asians are tiny), in American she is medium (because most people are overweight) and in Europe, she is fat (because people are slenderer than in the US). Still, I personally don’t think she is fat, but chubby - OK, I am done repeating myself.
LittleBlueBear,
“Medium is a girl like Scarlett or like Shakira”
Are you kidding me?
Sometimes this board is sooooooo fun!!! (Yes, I am a loser).
LittleBlueBear — have you ever even left the US? Hmmm, I ‘m thinking no. Europeans are almost tied with us in the fatty category at this point. I’ve said it before: French Women DO GET FAT!!!! I lived in Italy for a few years and travelled Europe extensively. . . and it never felt like I was in the Land of Lilliputians.
Tim Jones & Apricotmuffins — Brilliant! I was going to post on here the other day about the myth of the so-called “obesity epidemic” but realized I didn’t have time to write a dissertation and have fun upsetting all the boring “she’s a whale” automatons here.
Well put, emmie.
These are my first posts, although I cruise on here from time to time for laughs. There’s a great book about diet scams and myths called “Losing It” by Laura Fraser…
^I get what LittleBlueBear means. Kelly would be considered huge in most Asian countries. Even my Canadian-born asian guy friends consider Kelly huge (actually, most of my American guy friends would too). Some Americans probably think she looks normal b/c she looks like the average American woman–overweight. Still, I have a hard time saying mean things about Kelly’s body when she seems to be so sweet and talented.
gross. really gross.
Emmie, I am European (Romanian), I live in Romania and in Turkey and I practically visited most parts of the world. I never said I was American, I said I worked there and I was surprised to see that Americans are way too tolerant when it comes to weight.
Tim Jones, I am not saying that, if we take all women and try to build the average, medium woman, we obtain Scarlett or Shakira. You got me wrong. I am talking from an aesthetic point of view - such girls are not fat, not too skinny, they are the way we are supposed to look, they have healthy BMIs and they look normal. The fact that the majority of the population does not look normal, but looks overweight is another problem.
I’m confused by everyone’s comments… I feel like a lot of people talk about how big people are (in negative aspects) but when it comes to Kelly (who’s bigger than many who have been considered fat), she’s not considered big.
Also, she has a great voice, but her song writing skills are HORRIBLE.
Its 100% in what she wears…one day people will say she’s an elephant, and the next day she’s average. She’s short with a giant ass and no boobs, but she never has been a good dresser… EVER. She does seem a lot smaller when you are standing with her, but she’s short and dresses poorly for her shape.
To be honest…. I think I would put her under the category “Fat but not Fat Fat” But I dont think she is thin or lean at all, definetely not for a celebrity. If she has lost weight that much you can see it, im wondering what kinf of fat cow she was ebfore. And dont think she look great.
When will anyone realize that overweight is NOT fat. She may be over her ideal weight for her height, but that doesn’t make her fat. She isn’t fat. Her stomach isn’t hanging over her pants, her arms aren’t huge, although her butt is, and her thighs are just like the thighs of the chicks in rap videos that men seem to be drooling over. Women and men have different views on what is sexy and attractive. Do you think they would rather be with a girl that actually eats normal food and doesn’t obsess about her weight constantly, or someone that looks like a 20 pound crackhead? I’ve never been 100% fond of Kelly’s face, but that does not mean that her body is fat. Since when did 150 pounds become fat, instead of 180-200? I think I heard the word slenderer in here somewhere as well lmao! If people are gonna call her fat, why not post all of your measurements, and let others say what they think of YOUR body?
@ Emmie, I can tell you that here in holland I almost never see anyone near to what some americans look like. The percent of extremely fat people is very low and when you see someone walking down the street that look a bit like the american of way being fat, everybody looks up and is starring at that person.
I think I can tell better than you because ive been to almost every european country there is. And its true that in Italy en Greece people are a bit fatter, but ive youve been to North europe youll see a very big diffrence with america.
So Little Blue Bear I think you’re right, by the way im a bit
Romanian too i wanted to say
LittleBlueBear– Americans are “way too tolerant when it comes to weight”. Oh, I agree, I think we should be throwing all those nasty fatties in interment camps! Do you currently live/work in America? Because people here are not at all tolerant of the overweight. Americans are so puritanical and they see fat people as having some moral shortcoming as opposed to say, just being fat, ya know?
I don’t think she’s overweight. She’s not thin, but I highly doubt her weight is in any way a danger to her health. It might be quite surprising for some of you to look at the variety of bodies considered healthy by doctors and nutritionists.
I think also that Shakira and Scarlett would actually be at the low end of a healthy weight. I am not talking about what people in Romania would say, I am talking abotu objective standards of health, as given to us by doctors, not “hey she looks fat” (not medically, just perception)…
I love thick thighs and a full butt. They rock as long as they are firm and KC’s butt looks amazing to me. Great voice, loves performing, have fun KC and be yourself!
Also, walking through Delft or Amsterdam versus walking through Austin, Seattle, Denver or San Francisco I would never be able to tell the difference based on the weights/builds of those cities respective citizens.
LittleBlueBear, yes you are saying that, and you said it again in your rebuttal. Aesthetics aside from symmetry are not universal, they are relative. Scarlett and Shakira are beautiful, but I think it is kinda tricky claiming they are the way we are supposed to look.
Ok. Regardless of your OPINION whether you think she is fat or not……..let’s all at least agree to the reality that in no way is she a size 8 here! Come on! Looks like a 12 to me. And that’s not so bad but IMO, she could lose a good 20 pounds.
ew. she needs to lose like 50 lbs k thanksss.
Well emmie, maybe you should open your eyes!!! And than we can talk.. Because only looking at the statistics would proove im right. People in Holland are less fatter that people in america. Thats just the way it is, live with it.
Im not saying that every american person is fat, but it started in america and its the most in america!
By the way, shakira is nothing nere scarlett or kelly at all.
She looks like an American size 8 to me. Not bigger.
Emmie, you totally missed my point - “I think we should be throwing all those nasty fatties in interment camps” sounds like something I would never ever think and the fact that you understood this from what I was saying simply blows my mind.
Americans are more tolerant when it comes to weight, meaning that they are not as harsh nor as judgmental when it comes to analyzing overweight people. This is my experience, my opinion, and it is based on what I have seen while traveling and working in different parts of the world.
Tim Jones, yes, I agree with you, aesthetics are relative - and just like I named two beautiful girls, I could name a thousand others, with different body types and shapes.
Darysa,
“To be honest…. I think I would put her under the category “Fat but not Fat Fat”’
Wow, with a rating system as standardized and sound as that how could I not like like it?
Im actually agianst anorexia and that kind of stuff, but somehow I got kind of obsessed with my weight and everything.. I even think im fat, so if im honest in my eyes she would be Fat, but on the other hand maybe its goog for people to have a few clebrities who are a bit bigger, its more realistic, I understand.
But somehow i think its hypcrytical of people to say that thin people are bad and stuff, because they are the ones who actually want to see them like that. And somehow, even though im against, I do like thinner people more than bigger. But at least im honest about it. And I think for example it would be could to have more normal sizes on the atwalk and stuff, but to make a statement people sent overweighted people to the catwalk with slogans like: “Do you want to see this?”
Ofcourse no, people with overweight are just as unhealthy as people with underweight. And maybe these days the underweighted people are in the eyes of the average citizen a bit prettier, but I think people should just be honest and than do something about that problem. It was media and the celebrities that maked me this obsesses. And I regret it. because no day goes by without counting calories, making sure i drink enough water, weighing myself, try hard to eat healthy, force myself to hit the gym. I hate it, but according to others i have a great body now. But it doesnt make me any happier. I even want to lose more weight.. Its really making me sick. But I just cant imagine how you can get 300 lbs. or something.
Darysa — “it started in america and its the most in america!” Is “it” supposed to be fat? So fat started in America? Then who in the heck was Rubens painting in the 17th c. when he was making portraits of big, ole’ fleshy fat women? Oh right, they were your countrywomen.
and lets hear these “statistics” you speak of. its crap. and its a lame stereotype. Americans are fat and lazy. All frenchmen wear striped shirts, berets and carry baguettes under their arms.
I ment like, she is not extremely fat but just a little.. In my eyes
I know about rubens, but i actually meant the whole consuming industry.. That started in america, not being fat. By the way, Rubens painted the women bigger than they actually were..
And the satistics dont lie, its an average of all the american people together. Being fat doesnt say anything about being lazy, and neither me.
But its a fact that if you take the average american weight its higher than most european countries.
She looks like a size 8 to me too. And there’s a HUGE difference between the people who live in Seattle and in other cities, though Seattle is always rated as one of the “fittest” American cities. “Normal” in Seattle is like 20 lbs. overweight, at least. The girls here look like Kelly. When my friends come down from Canada, they always comment on how fat everyone is down here. When I see travel shows that show cities in Austin, I am shocked. The people down there look like elephants.
um i wrote an article on the obesity epidemic and u know what? the US is first with like 32% obese and ITALY came in a very close second. so whatever europeans r sooo much skinnier.
Kelly Clarkson makes the rockin world go round.
and if i was a guy she would give me boners!
You have never been to Austin. I work in fashion. Despite all my haranguing of Darysa and the other silly lemmings on this site, I work in and industry where even being an average weight is unacceptable. I am a size 4 give or take and when I am at the shows in New York and LA I feel huge. Anywho, Austin if full of skinny sweaty hipsters so I’m not sure what you are talking about.
Yeah well thats because they eat too much pasta. I already said the italians stand out comparing to the rest of europe when it comes to weight.
the whole Americans vs Europeans argument is becoming hilarious.
Muffy, I agree. No way is Kelly a size 8. My guess is a 10 or 12 as well. Maybe she can wear a size 8 at stores like Express, Gap, and Banana Republic where the average person shops. A 10 or 12 about the size of the avergane person her age.
I’m neither American or European, but I work a lot in both countries, so I’d like to put in my two cents’ worth.
LittleBlueBear is right. Your average European woman is slimmer than your average American woman. What Americans consider a ‘medium’ woman would be considered ‘chubby’ in Europe; Scarlett is a thin American, but by most Europe standards (exept Britain, Italy or Greece) she would be a slimmish average.
and I know europe isn’t one country… forgive me, it’s late here
try taking a walk around Greenwich Village. that’s a lot more like walking around a major European city. some skinny hipsters, some curvy people, a few fat people.
well looking at the stats
in european countries people are on average slimmer, but the US is huge and i am sure stats vary widely across states
anyway my main concern is darysa, i hope you get some help, it is unfortunate that when people lose wieght they are congratulated and it seems as a society we link compliments to wieght but if losing more and more isnt making you happy, you have to find what does, instead of relying on your ability to lose wieght
before things get to the wrong stage
we all feel like we could look better, thinner etc but we all know when we are pushing our bodies too far with exercise, eating to little or too often
and i hpe you will stop comparing yourself to celebs, we are all different that should be celebrated, we cant all be clones
What about vanity sizing?
When my mom graduated from high school, she wore a size 8. Now - 30 years later - she wears a size 2, but she hasn’t gotten fatter or thinner. With the way things are sized here, I think that Kelly Clarkson could very well be an 8.
I personally think that guessing weights is a waste of time. Line up a bunch of women who are all 5′5″ and 150 pounds, and some of them will be lean and athletic, some will be curvy and soft, and some will just look “fat”, even though they all have the same BMI.
Maybe Kelly isn’t the Hollywood “ideal”, but I wouldn’t guess that her size is a hazard to her health.
And I think the thigh-high boots don’t help either
^Yeah, the vanity sizing thing is ridiculous. People ostracize “size 0″ but it seems everyone’s forgotten that size 0 nowadays is a size 6 in the 1950s. And size 6 was considered by many to be the “perfect” size…I doubt people were calling size 6 women “stick figures” or “skinny bitches” back then.
It’s interesting what a nerve this post has hit, that the most common request is also the most contentious. Everybody seems to want to confirm their own aesthetic by using Clarkson as a standard of either 1. she’s an example of what i DON’T want to be (i.e.: overweight, fat) and 2. she’s an example of a woman who is not the ideal but is respectably confident (i.e.: size empowerment).
Regardless of what some of your impressions are, there are men and women out there who will be attracted to Kelly Clarkson regardless of how fat you think her to be.
For those of us who reject the ideal or are trying to reject the ideal despite the media machine, this IS empowering. It is a reminder that the ideal doesn’t dominate EVERYWHERE and that people can still be attractive to others while not obsessing about their personal appearance.
Most of you people who post here are sadly f-ed in the head..if you all want to starve yourselves to oblivion go ahead
She’s an extreme case of pear-shaped woman.
Unlike Tyra, who got bigger more proportionately, her weight has lodged itself primarily in her hips-buttocks-thigh area and a bit in the arms.
*I* would feel unshapely & uncomfortable (see my own experience on the Tyra thread) but I won’t be the one pointing my finger at her, because, if she’s to be believed, she must have endured enormous pressure to get her album approved for release, and she will lose it when she feels she can tackle her weight issue.
I am particularly benevolent today, lol!
Everyone who says that America doesn’t have an obesity problem must be living in some kind of blind ignorance. Just take a walk and look at how many fat people you see. And it’s not “ok” or “normal”… it’s disgusting. I’ve never visited other countries so I can’t speak for them.
she looked better in her second outfit of the night (first photo) but huuuuuge in the first one…
littlebear is racist
overwieght? oh comeone! you people disgust me. this girl is a normal size. when she won american idol she waw 125lbs. thats normal! shes probably a size 6 and thats normal!
get a life people!
Kelly always gets the most comments!!! Shes the best.
She is most definitely not a size 6 or 8. With that butt she has got to wear a 12, maybe 10, but that might be pushing it.
She’s always been a little chunky and not stick thin, and I admire her for not giving into Hollywood and media standards.
But I do think it would be in her best interests to shed a few pounds and tone up. She’d be healthier and happier, and not to mention, hotter!
Some people simply have no compassion. Many overweight people, or even obese people cannot help it, so they turn to something like the gastric bypass. Did nobody see where they did a test on obesity patients that show their brains have the same effect towards their favorite foods as people who are ADDICTED to heroin? Just because someone is overweight does not mean that they embrace it and are comfortable with it. To say that Kelly is fat is proposterous. She is not fat. Some may consider her chubby, but certainly not “fat”. Fat is an ugly word anyway. I think some people should have a bit more compassion towards those that are truly overweight instead of saying “nasty fatties”. That was a horrid comment. You also do realize that many men like widers hips, and larger butts? Hip bones jutting out, and a flat butt covered in cellulite is not what I would consider attractive.
She looks lovely from the waist up, in any case.
sorry she’s a fatty. big ass, big thighs… big arms.. fatty
Yes, 60% of Americans pay zillions a year on Diet, live with it.
PS: the old paintings of European women showed them CURVACIOUS and fleshy but with a defined body.
We’re not talking HUGE FAT here!
And there is no way she is a size 8 btw, maybe from her upper half that’s just it.
Keisha, I was wondering: what exactly makes me a racist? I think it’s a pretty serious accusation to throw just because I dared to say in words what the statistics say.
I don’t think she’s a size 8, that boody would not fit in size 8 pants. Probably a 10. She looks great though.
I will say one thing that it amazes me how much as a society we focus on weight issues. We spend so much time focusing on the material that we don’t think about how this girl is living such a good life. She’s happy, she has an album that she made mostly on her own, she’s taken care of her family and she’s genuinely doing something she wants to do. That’s much more important than her weight. A lot of people in this world don’t get to do those things. So what if she’s a size 8 or size 10. Who cares if she’s fat in Europe.
There are more important things in life than weight, like if your happy. To have an ounce of happiness, out weighs any pound.
Christine,
“But I do think it would be in her best interests to shed a few pounds and tone up. She’d be healthier and happier, and not to mention, hotter!”
Oh, I didn’t know you are Kelly’s physician and therapist. Tell me, what does she look like naked?
You people make me laugh, seriously. And it’s clear to me that the ones that say she’s obese are probably blind, and the ones who think that girls from Europe are much slimmer then the ones from the States are probably stupid. Let me tell you something, yes, we have our share of skinny girls, but most are average. I’m one of the chubbiest girl in my year and I am 145 and 5’7 or 5’8. But the thing is we are a lot more.. regular I guess.. we have few really overweight people and a lot of average and slim people. So if you’ve never been to Europe, and I’m not talking about the beach, keep your mouth shut. And if you’re so much better than her, why aren’t you in the spot light ?
LittleBlueBear, I’m from Romania as well.
kelly looked great on AI. Why does she need to look like she’s about to compete on a fitness pagent? why isn’t anyone remarking that Jordin Sparks isn’t skinny either? Both are beautiful girls, as they are. Kelly doesn’t “need” to lose weight. sure , we all could hit the gym daily and get a Janet body, but most of us don’t, for whatever reason. Kelly is cute, funny, personable and is fine the way she is. I applaud her for not succombing to the pressure of hollywood to be a stick figure. She’s a great role model for young girls.
Kelly is fucking annoying her music sucks and she is a fatass
Oh and Kellys, she could be a size 8 possibly. I am a size 8 BECAUSE my hips are 9 inches wider than my waist. If my hips weren’t that big according to my waist size I could fit into a size 4 or 6. If I wanted to wear pants that would fit like that I would have to have the waist taken in a lot. I have to wear belts all the time or just be one of those girls that walks around showing half my ass because my pants won’t stay up.l
and people think Mischa Barton is bottom heavy??
“Oh, I didn’t know you are Kelly’s physician and therapist. Tell me, what does she look like naked?”
Tim Jones, u are hilarious!
Tim Jones is one of he few voices of sanity on this site, where people diagnose celebs as being so overweight it is damaging to their health, when they are realistically just at the top or even middle of what is acceptable according to medicine.
Time to differentiate your aesthetic preferences from the idea that people you consider unnattractive are damaging their health.
I don’t know about *her* health, but the glaring fact that she’s gotten hideously fat is burning *my* retina.
If she’s going to be that weight she should at least learn how to dress herself.
She’s still got a ways to go. This country is messed up- too many fat people- too many deathly-thin models. Fat idols and anorexics. Neither are attractive- or healthy. And, fat or skinny- add a tattoo to the mix… and yer just plain ugly! Uglier than fat!
I didn’t scan to the picture first and read the article.
When I saw the pic, my reaction was to suck in my breath and say OH, GOOD GOD!!!
Girl needs to lose some of that ass. What is she thinking wearing those clothes? Hire a stylist, a nutritionist and a trainer ASAP.
DAMN!!!!
Now THAT is a nice A**!
She should stay right where she is with her weight — girl looks awesome!!
I always thought Kelly was hot — and then I saw that top photo and my jaw dropped!!!
Can someone really fall in love with another person’s ass? OMG! Wicked, wicked thoughts — shame on me! She has one of the best bodies I’ve seen. I can’t stand these skinny girls that look anorexic. Meat is a good thing. Once girls start losing weight, there goes their breats, their hips, their ass — everything that makes them a woman!
she looks good . she just hs a big ass and short legs, but that’s just how she is. dieting won’t help..maybe w/ the ass ; )
I couldn’t believe how good she looked in that second outfit- I wish I carried my extra weight like that.
yeah i would say she is obese …
its gross girls seriouslyyy
bones define who you are …
LET THEM SHOW!
So close to 200 posts I can feel it . . .
The thing about Kelly is that her same fans that say she’s not over weight, are the first to trash some other female celebrity for gaining 5-10 pounds.
Kelly’s biggest problem is picking outfits that don’t look good on her figure. If you have big thighs, don’t wear dresses that are short and boots that are high. It’s just going to accentuate it. She should go more with leggings and long flowing tops.
I know right lets get it too 200 haha
Kelly looks overweight here, but she is NOT obese at all. She could stand to lose maybe 10-15 pounds although she most likely isn’t putting her health at risk…like someone mentioned, the areas where she has fat aren’t dangerous spots. She’s also young. Does anyone really think she’s going to die from a heart clot?
I read recently that Kelly is used to losing weight every time she tours so she isn’t too bothered when she’s called out for being curvy or fat. So she’s obviously aware of what kind of exercise helps her to lose weight, but she presumably doesn’t care enough or doesn’t have the time to dedicate to such work on her body.
She looks great
but I hate those stripper boots
Ellie Jane: have you considered psychiatric help re your bones obsession?
she is no size eight maybe a 12 or 14
I don’t know, her body type looks an awful lot like mine, though I’m a tad bit smaller. She can’t be bigger than a size 10, in my opinion.
Gorgeous curves. I can tell that a lot of that is muscle, and that will show if she loses more fat.
WE NEED ANOTHER UPDATE!!
LOFFLES:
I do not need psychiatric help. Thanks all the same. Im allowed to have my opinion just as you are yours. In my opinion shes fat as here. I do not go for that look at all. Think its disgusting. Im 5′2 and weigh about 93lbs so no i do not need pshyciatric help. I consider myself chubby and I am trying to lose weight.
she is not fat!! she is just thick. and she has a flat stomach with hot curves. now that is hott comparing to thin and no shape.
Ellie Jane -
im sorry, but having a weight under 100lbs is not sexy, cute, nor attracting at all. that is just gross. and you still wanna loose more weight. ughhh. i think you do need some psychiatric help. girls with a bit more meat on them does not make them look disgusting. is better to have some fat on you then look like a walking stick with no shape. you should eat more. or you’re gonna end up worst than nicole richie. that’s not cute. btw. how old are you?
i think everyone needs to stop being jealous. are u famous? are you talented to that extent? do you have fans? then shuttup.
she has great eyes, a great butt, a tiny waiste, nice hips, thick legs. memo to you: legs and ass won’t go. trust me, i’m built just like her and i am a size 4 in dresses and when i was a two i looked disgusting. we always loose it in the upper body. which i am sorry but i’d rather be bottom heavy than be a muffin top which most of america’s population is. which you probably are. so go jerk yourslef off with a cheese grater.
she’s the only american idol. who are you?
LINDA:
I am 18 years old.
I am only 5′2 - 5′3 so weighing like 93lbs is not unhealthy and definately has no need for me to be seeking psychiatric help… just because i want to lose a bit of weight does not mean im a wannarexic or attention seeking like loffles thinks.
Hit the gym you fat whale!!!!!!!!
I’ve stood 2 metres away from her when she was in Melbourne Australia performing and she really is little.. really short.. I think any little weight fluctuation shows alot on her body but she really looks great in person. I think sometimes the camera angles don’t do her justice. She is wonderfully talented though and I think it’s important to focus on appreciating her for her amazing vocals rather than her weight. She seems to be setting a good example for women in showbusiness.
god! she looks horrible there..and she has been looking dreadful.. i still loved her until now.. her album sux.. albums is horribel i shouldnt have boughtened it.. i should have just gotten it online off a blog or something.. what happened.. ! her songs where all goth and depressing-suicidal-esque!
jesus! are u people blind or crazy or what? THIS GIRL IS FAT! F A T !!!!!!!! How can u say she looks good and curvy and all the shit? She is FAT! COW! HUGE!! AMANGOUS!!!!!!! EWW! I used to like her and her song, but now she looks awful and her album totally suuuxxxx!!!!!
she looks awful, she may have lost like 2 pounds but is still short and fat! why on earth she ruined her slim figure that she once had i do not know.
I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting!
She’s pretty chunky, not obese or even really overweight. She’s probably 5′3′’ or 5′4′’ and her weight flucuates probably between 130 and 145. I ‘m guessing she’s probably about 145 in these pics. I really don’t think she has lost weight at all. I was surprised to she how she looked in that black dress. Her stomache is not flat, which is what I saw some people say on here before. She looks great in her videos. I know their angles are more flattering and whatnot but I’m sure she also is on a diet during those times. 125-130 would look perfect on her. 145ish looks pretty fat on her.
