What Kelly Clarkson Postponing Las Vegas Residency Opening Means
Kelly’s Loyal Fans Will Stand By Her
Although some of Kelly’s fans who’d planned trips to see her perform in Las Vegas were understandably upset that she canceled the shows at the last minute,most were more concerned about her protecting her voice and staying healthy.
Kelly has had a devoted fan following since she wonAmerican Idolseason 1over two decades ago in 2002, and they know that it’s important for her to protect her precious vocals.
Kelly isn’t the onlyAmerican Idolsuperstar who’s had to cancel shows due to vocal issues recently.Judge Luke Bryan postponed two of his showsand canceled on three festivals due to illness in late June. He also promised to refund the audience of his June 19 show because he was unhappy with how his voice sounded.
While it’s disappointing when music artists have to postpone or cancel shows, sometimes it’s unavoidable when they’re ill. Music artists are only human and not machines, and they sometimes need to take a break.Kelly truly loves her fans, and she must be so upset that she had to cancel on them.
Our Take On Kelly Clarkson Postponing Las Vegas Residency Opening
Kelly Did The Right Thing
Kelly did the right thing by postponing her Las Vegas residency until she’s feeling better.She should protect her voice at all costsbecause it’s so essential to her career. Although she’s had tremendous success as the Emmy-winning host of the talk show,The Kelly Clarkson Show, she’s primarily known for her incredible music career that followedherAmerican Idolwin.
Kelly is a true professional, and she couldn’t open her Las Vegas residency when she wasn’t at her best.Hopefully, she’ll be on the mend soon, and her fans will have the chance to see her sing live.
I’ve been to many of Kelly’s concerts through the years since she wonAmerican Idol, and she’s one of the most gifted and talented performers I’ve ever seen.Kelly’s Las Vegas residency is certain to be a huge success.
