It looks like she has continued to put on more weight during her tour…
What do you all think?

i dont think shes put on more weight. her midsection actually doesnt look as big as before. maybe she lost a few?
either way shes a great talent.
She is definitely heavy and needs to choose better clothing for her body type. Why would she want to be showing so much flesh. However the hair color is wrong too. I am glad she is happy with herself, we all should be and she has a great voice, but she needs a mirror.
She’s probably pretty normal size 12/14 American in real life. This isn’t the heaviest I’ve seen her. I thought she used to be bullimic or something? Maybe that has something to do with it. She actually eats now and her metabolism is recovering?
SERIOUSLY?? What’s happening with her? It’s not normal to gain so much weight! And all that stuff about curvy it’s beautiful it’s kind of wrong! Obesity it’s like anorexia! But in the other extreme!
Oh my that’s sloppy!
Kelly has gained alot! It really shows in her face. If she lost a few pounds or just toned up she’s probably feel alot better. She just doesn’t look very happy in these pics.
average face, FAT body
first? wow she gained. she looks really bad.. =/
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She looks so ordinary
Wow she is really big now.
i feel really really bad for her. she is so talented! i don’t think that everyone has to be skinny – but she doesn’t look healthy or happy either.
I think it looks like she has lost weight, or maybe she has just learnt how to dress her relatively recently filled-out figure. She looks plain and a bit mushy, but other than that ok.
Wow! Talk about being ‘dressed down,’ I wouldn’t have even known who she was if I saw her walking by me! Actually, she looks to me like she’s maybe lost a few pounds, but not a lot.
She is overweight and should slim down a bit. Someone always points out on here that a person can be unhealthy even if their weight is in a healthy weight range. But there shouldn’t be any excuses for carrying so much extra weight.
She is so big, its such a shame! And yeah I know some people are gonna say ’so what?’
But she looks awful, and has gone so downhill..
She is amazing and I’m a fan, but she needs to sort herself out, get back to how she used to be.
I actually think she’s lost a little weight since I last saw her. Maybe being on tour, and preforming all night has given her a little exercise.
I bet had she stayed in Texas on her ranch she would’ve never gained this much weight. She used to be soooo attractive.
She appears to have LOST actually…still overweight, obviously, but, as someone already pointed out, her mid-section looks slimmer.
Well, I might be biased, just saw a picture of Gabourey Sibide…Kelly looks fragile compared to her.
She is hopeless and an “inspiration” and by that I mean, by seeing her remind yourself no to get big like her.
I agree that she looks a bit slimmer than usual. Still heavy, but slimmer. It doesn’t seem like she’ll be making any efforts to lose the weight tho.
She actually looks like she lost a bit of weight imo
Breaks my heart… I miss the SUBG days…
I can’t criticize a celebrity’s body when she solely uses her talent, & not her appearance, to succeed.
@ Sarlium, I think you’re confusing her with Katherine McPhee, who also was on AI & discussed her past bulimia.
she actually looks a little smaller to me…
She does not look the greatest here . . .but I love the fact she looks like an actual person who has just got off a long flight. That is reality, not this crap of high heels, designer bags, makeup and hair. After a long flight you look like crap and feel like crap especially if its some place hot.
Wow..she has really let herself go.
She just flew to AFRICA! I would challenge anyone to look amazing when stepping off a camera to immediate press coverage.
@Regan, Kelly has claimed to be bulimic in the past
I feel bad for her. Her clothes are not helping at all (or the shoes!). Her body type is so unforgiving too – she has no breasts to balance out her hips/thighs. Like Rachel Ray…
I actually think she looks a little thinner than the last pictures you posted of her.
1. get away from the twinkies, eat healthy
2. put at least under eye concealer before goin out jeez!
3. learn how 2 dress
im just a normal girl and i do all that shit everyday so..is not hard if U love urself!!!
Talented girl. Love her voice. I too think she looks a little thinner than she has been, but not a slim as she was on AI. We all dont need to be a size 2 but she does look a little big for her frame.
hey, at least Frump Girl can sing, which is more than we can say for Britney. . .
Kelly was bulimic for a VERY short period of time in school before her American Idol days so obviously that would not be affecting her metabolism right now…plus, she was looking incredible towards the end of her season on AI, so that’s just more proof that her metabolism stabilized long ago (if it even needs to stabilize after such a short bulimic stint)
I really think this is the result of emotional eating, and I really hope she gets her problems figured out soon because she seems like a great person…and she makes great music (it was way better when she was healthy though, perhaps healthy=happy=better music?)
Really?! She looks completely normal. She is traveling, folks. Who dresses up for that? And, she is obviously not OBSESSED or a control freak with her eating habits, which is great to see on a website like this!!
Awful. She needs to take better care of herself a
nd care more about herself.
Quite the contrary, I think she’s lost and looks pretty decent here. However, I tend to be more lenient on talented people’s physique.
When you’re in uncomfortable position and have got no money to go out from that, you will require to receive the business loans. Because that should help you emphatically. I take sba loan every year and feel myself fine because of that.
OMG…..gross!!!
I actually think she’s lost some weight since the last few times we’ve seen her on here. my biggest complaint with her in these pics is the awful hair color and smeared makeup look she has going on
@Sarlium&Regan,
I have read that Kelly admitted to a bout of bulimia in her teens/high school years and yes Katherine Mcwhatever too so…I believe everything I read is correct also ; ) If Kelly looked like a Lohan it would be more worrisome that her being slightly overweight.
Have a hard time saying that Kelly is “fat”as I respect her true talent so much. At one point i my life I looked like her (body-wise) so I empathize and feel for her. Love her “truthiness” and candor. She is an awesome person and as long as she is happy, healthy and comfortable with herself well…who cares what anyone else thinks.
I feel like the black shirt is hiding things well, but I feel like she has either stayed the same size or actually lost a bit in the stomach area?
I miss Kelly when she was a lot more smaller. She’s definitely a pretty girl, more so when she’s looking ready. I never heard of her being bulimic in the past. Maybe that caused the weight gain?
I was thinking that it looks like she LOST a little weight.
I’m not at all saying she needs to lose weight to be beautiful, but I wish she would clean up a bit
I think she looks like she lost some weight.
I also think she has actually lost some weight. Not a lot. Either way, maybe she’s truly happy like that. It’s a shame though, she’s a very beautiful girl and could easily reach her best self.
Co-sign with all the posters that says she lost. She has the kind of unfortunate figure that does not put on weight well. Pears always look so awkward when they are heavy. The small top and full bottom become more exaggerated.
ok, i’m sorry but what happened to her?
She probably is only a 12 and I’m sure she would like to be more fit, but she definetly looks smaller than the last pictures of her. Beautiful girl, great personality and voice, maybe in a slump.
I agree Rian it does look like she continues to gain. She really should think about her health. I expect she could be thinner like america ferrera and still eat. She just looks like she is not even trying.
she’s comfortable with her body..she’s not pressured to make any changes just to fit in..that’s great…
She is inspiring me to keep losing weight, b/c otherwise I could end up like that. Oh DEAR.
actually looks slightly smaller. she could lose a few for sure, but as long as she still has her voice, it’s okay i guess.
This is what I call fat. She shouldn’t be on the skinnywebsite if she is not going to lose the weight.
I think shes lost a bit. But WHY does she look so dirty?
She does not look like a pear to me. Her top half is just as large as her bottom half.
Surely she can afford a personal trainer. It’s one thing to be ‘healthy-sized’ but her BMI is clearly way over the healthy zone. Maybe work stress is causing her to overeat, I dunno.
She’s young still, so her health is not really an issue at this point. However, I fear that she will gain even more weight over time and head towards morbid obesity. You can tell it’s in her genes, forewarned is fore armed.
she looks terrible either way.hair is gross, pale, clothes are tragic!!!seriously…shes lucky she has such a good voice…
She has LOST weight, and quite a lot, good for her. Her hips and waist are noticeably smaller, I actually don’t expect her to ever be skinny, since it doesn’t seem she can maintain that. But this is a good step towards a healthier her.
Whenever she appears it’s immediately ’she’s put on weight’ just to emphasise her size, when before I’ve never seen the difference and here I think she’s definitely lost quite a bit. Her face and arms look slimmer and her stomach especially so.
she is big, not obese but big. too big, in my taste. its great to see that it actually is possible to be both famous and female without having to starve oneself to death, or have plastic surgery. kelly gets most of her fame from her voice, not her looks, which is the way i think it is supposed to be.
however, anyone who claims that they are comfortable being fat is lying. i used to be fat, and it was horrible, i hated every minute of it. not only because i felt ugly, but it is NOT comfortable to get short of breath from the slightest physical effort, to feel the belly hang over the pants, or to feel the thighs (and knees) scrub against each other and cause a rash. and my energy levels was really low too. i cant honestly think of one single positive thing about being fat. its is just bad for the health and bad for the mind.
one should not be slim because its fashionable, but because it is important in order to stay healthy!
dont overeat, dont starve.
eat and exercise, and get a nice body with loads of energy!
Sorry, but she’s fat bordering on obese. Maybe you Americans are used to seeing women like this and therefore think Kelly’s normal, but where I’m come from, this is very bad. I really hope that she pulls herself together and gets into shape, for the sake of her health and her future in the music industry.
jellybelly – yes, I’ve noticed that as well.
Yes, she is pretty heavy. NO, she has not gained even more weight. Someone needs to refresh their memories; Kelly hasn’t suddenly ballooned, she has been overweight for quite some time now and was looking heavier in the last post.
I also wanted to add…-
Despite being overweight, she is looking absolutely alright. Her situation is not “tragic”; she is not morbidly obese, nor does she have to put on concealer and dress up when she doesn’t feel like it. She is looking like a normal person. No need to be cruel.
I don’t know on what planet some of you are living…
Oh lord. . She needs to hit the gym NOW, before she has a heart attack or something.
You know, we get that weight fluctuates, and you tend to binge when your under stress, but the least she could do is dress her body better. What is with those hideous cargo pants/sneakers/bag? Someone get this girl a stylist, pronto! (and a trainer while you’re at it!)
I agree with Emily, MMH, Katie, etc. : she looks like she lost a little. Of course, she’s still overweight, but I remember seeing her even bigger.
i’m calling bs on all those using the old “she is comfortable with herself”….really?! then why are her “professional” photos,music videos etc… retouched to hell and back to make her look MUCH smaller?? yes she’s talented, and yes she is fat!
So what if she is a little bit bigger than your average celeb? She has a great voice and is a big inspiration for all those girls out there that are not a size 2 but wants to be in show biz anyways!
She actually looks slimmer…maybe it’s because the pants are not as tight as usual.
Ugh! I hate her. she looks AWFUL!
“This is what I call fat. She shouldn’t be on the skinnywebsite if she is not going to lose the weight.” — This has the potential to amuse the hell outta me all day. But NOT for the reason its author intended, I’m sure.
she’s undeniably talented but it’s a shame she’s gained so much weight. she’s only 5′3″, so while her current weight might be appropriate for someone taller, it can’t be healthy for her to be carrying so many extra pounds. i don’t mean to come across in a harsh manner; ordinarily, i think she’s a beautiful woman. i just find it a shame that since gaining weight it looks like she’s aged about 10 years as well.
She looks as though she no longer cares – not just her body, but clothes, no make up etc.
There has to be a middle way between this and Victoria Beckham.
The hair color is absolutely wrong. She is really obese even though she is such a young girl. To Sarlium: I have never been in the US and I know americans are like the heaviest people in the world , but if she is like ‘average american’ than americans are even heavier than I thought.
ow THIS is what i call “your average girl on the street”. Not Kristin Cavallari or Anna Lynne or any other crazy alternatives for “average”
shes not curvy shes fat
Nothing suprising here. Kelly does not place her entire self esteem in her appearance, including her weight. She is accepted and lauded on a lot more than this and she is smart enough to know this. Genetically she will always struggle with weight. She does look pasty and a bit sloppy. But she has a rather sweet face and disposition, besides her incredible voice which will take her a long way.
She looks like a complete slob!! She has totally let herself go! Her outfit, body and hair look like a mess!! Does she not care about herself?
She needs a head to toe makeover!
Pillsbury Dough boy move over!
I thought she lost a little weight when I saw the pics.
Agree with others who commented about Kelly’s very short (like 6 month) struggle w/bulimia in high school. Don’t think that (bulimia) applies to her metabolism NOW. I feel sorry for Kelly. She may say she is okay w/her body….but I think that deep down each one of us is concerned with our body to some degree. Some are more obssesed about it than others.
I think she cares…but just does not speak about it.
It would be cool if she could take a personal trainer w/her to help her out. She has mentioned before that she eats a lot of unhealthy type food when on tours. Kelly is a great singer…but she has got to want to lose the lbs. She does NOT seem overly concerned about it (losing lbs) yet.
I don’t think she’s gained any weight, on the contrary I think she’s lost a teeny tiny bit of it.
i think she only do sports but not lost but turned fat in muscles!
She looks like she’s lost a few pounds, in my opinion. I love how she’s happy with her body, no matter what size she is.
I dunno, looks like she deflated a bit but still, the weight gain has affected her face too. She looks puffy, less youthful and tired. (And sloppy as all hell.)
i disagree….she looks a lot thinner!!!!!
OK, she’s gained weight, but when I looked at these photos first, I hadn’t thought like ‘OMG she’s so fat!”, but I thought “OMG, she looks really exhausted”. This extra weight makes her look poor and more miserable, IMHO.
slimmer for sure. But come on…..even my 9 year old knows how to put a decent outfit together. She’s trying to sell herself right? Well she’s selling herself short! IMO
I don’t think she is as heavy as she appears. Probably more of the average American size 12/14. I’m glad she didn’t go all Hollywood skinny like Carrie Underwood, but I do wish she could tackle whatever eating disorders she struggles with, what with the loosing and gaining roller coaster. It is going to adversely affect her physical health. She has such an INCREDIBLE voice!!!!!!!!
Overweight or no, she would look a lot better if she dressed for her body type. She seems to want to flaunt her problem areas.
@maria..
either ur are her #1 fan or some close relative??
im leaving in planet Loving myself. and u dont need to copy-paste all of our comments,
xoxo
Agree with Kianna.
*living sorry
I know she used to have an eating disorder, it makes me extremely sensitive to why’s she gained so much weight. HOwever, I am looking forward, at least hoping, that she gets back down to a healthy weight. I know she used to be super skinny, I don’t even expect her to get that small again. HOwever, I don’t want her to PROMOTE obesity anymore. That makes me really sad for the people who look up to her.
looks smaller in the upper body. Should work her on her arms. Bad hair color. Looks happy thats good
You shouldn’t compare carrie underwood to kelly.
It’s hard to eat healthy because it’s expensive. Carrie is a vegetarian, and she exercises, that’s how she got into shape. Carrie isn’t scary skinny. They both have two different body types. There nothing wrong with getting into shape.
I can’t defend this. She’s clearly not doing anything to stay fit. It’s one thing to do normal upkeep yet still be a larger woman, it’s an entirely different thing to let yourself go.
she obviously doesn’t care. she wears unflattering clothes and shows no sign of losing weight, so we can just expect to see more of the same.
I love her, but she kind of scares me here. I don’t even mind the weight so much, but she hasn’t put any effort forth here at all. I’m sure it was a long flight or whatever, but still. I’m not celebrity and I definitely make sure I am more put together than that when I leave the house.
Minus the weight gain…I actually think she looks a tinsy bit slimmer here..What bothers me more is the outfit. Ew? It looks so sloppy like what a 14 year old tomboy would wear. I think if she wore some flattering dark denim jeans and a top that defined her waist more..maybe some heels..she’d look way more polished.
@Lulu- I agree with you! Also she HAS money- so there is no excuse..even on a BUDGET with little money you can still look “put together” and not like you just rolled out of bed ugh
She doesn’t even look the same anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out she’s got a thyroid issue though. But then again, I don’t even have a thyroid and I’m at a thin/healthy weight.
Seriously, she’s not even trying anymore. She’s a beautiful woman, but sooner or later her health will be affected, if it isn’t already.
Meesh I agree she is inspiration to remain healthy, in fear of being unhealthy like this!
I am all for curvy, average, healthy body types, but Kelly is just fat.
She hasn’t gained weight. She has lost a little bit of weight. She was bigger the last time she was posted.
I dont think she looks bad – just tired from the flight.
I think Kelly has maintained this weight for about a year. Do I think this is a healthy weight for her? No. She really needs to stop getting “styling” tips from Britney Spears and that would be a HUGE improvement.
I don’t understand anyone who hates someone becoz’ they’re fat, that as crazy as hating someone becoz’ you hate their hair color! That being said, it amazes me that one of her friends haven’t told her that she’s looking a little sloppy lately. I would never let a friend down like that. Isn’t her stylist her best friend?? She supposed to tell her what looks good and what doesn’t…that’s her job! Kelly should fire her and hire a new stylist and just let her friend hang around for free. No sense paying for styling advise from her. She just letting her look old and fat. I love her music and am a big fan, but I know that her weight issues are hurting her career. That’s a shame becoz’ she’s way better than most of the other singers out there.
No, it looks like she’s lost weight.
k girl: Copy & paste? What cha talking about, girl?
Sorry, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, if you want to elaborate..?
And, for your information, nope, not a fan and most certainly not a relative. I just happen to like the concept of ‘compassion’.
she’s such a slob.. shes a great singer but i dont think you can feel good about yourself when you go out in public without making any effort and looking like complete slob..
She has an eating disorder. a compulsive one.
i dont thin she gained,but i think she doesnt want to lose weight!
She reminds me of my own yo-yo issues. To think she was so slender back in the day, I find it sad. Most young people do look better before gaining weight (apart from the bobbleheads).
Wow – this really is dramatic!!! I just google-pictured her and this weight gain is (let’s say it with Scooter) hardcore. And I barely recognised her because her face looks so different! She actually looks unhealthy…
If I looked anything like that, I would DIE.
She’s always been a fairly solid woman, but this is just wrong…. In the first picture she looks like a guy with little breasts and a ponytail!!!! EWWWW! Pale, chubby, no shape, thick, bad skin, bad hair…. Gees.. Get a clue and a mirror!
she looks the same to me
i dont understand why she doesnt take better care of her body
Yikes…she looks to have gained..although everyone looks bigger in baggy sweats. If she is exercising and eating well then we really shouldn’t fault her for her natural body composition. You can however be a larger size and still toned. I agree she looks like an average American but i don’t know if that’s a good thing since we really aren’t a healthy country. She isn’t a celeb who’s fame has anything to do with her appearance or fashion though. She is famous for having genuine talent! Personally I don’t think having a famous person who is slightly overweight sends as dangerous a message as some of the rail thin celebs who we seem to admire. You are much more likely to die from being underweight then from having a small amount of excess( not that either is ideal).
its sad how the fatter she gets, the less amount of fat that goes to her breasts. she gets the fat in weird spots
@ bohokitty, according to some studies (that I read about in the paper, so I don’t know where they are online), being slightly overweight IS actually healthier than being underweight. And because Kelly is short any weight gain will be more noticable anyway. Which is what this is all about, isn’t it, her weight not looking aesthetically pleasing to us while her health being probably just fine.
The best part of this entire post is that she was on her way to an orphanage to help out for a couple of days.
Get your priorities straight.
@girlluva167838716
I just thought the same thing!!!
Her boobs are soooo small and look even smaller compared to her belly =( Maybe if she would have big boobs, she would look thinner….or sexier…but I don’t critize her, everyone can look as they want, too…
She is overweight and sloppy looking.
Crackheads!!!!! She looks much slimmer!
I don’t think she has put weight on… She just looks the same, maybe even a tiny tiny bit thinner.
It makes me sad, because I don’t care who you are, celebrity or not, how could you feel confident and happy at this weight? She acts like she is fine with it and doesn’t care, but I don’t buy that.
another living proof of ’starving yourself into obesity’. just like jessica simpson and britney spears. you should have known you cant make it forever one day you will get tired of all the disciplined exercise routine and caloric restriction, you will want to live like a normal person, but its too late because your body will already be more efficient than ever in storing long-needed calories as soon as you start eating just ‘normally’. so sad.
Health and Fitness are so important. beyond what you look like. she is obviously eating all the wrong things. but so are a lot of those tiny celebs. Being malnurished can go either way. you either get fat or become thin.
She is hurting herself health wise. health IS f***king important.
i can still taste the puke in my mouth
grOss!! i dOnt like her in any way but now its just nasty 2 see i ll paste her in my fridge so i look at her n i wont eat lol
