Life's Annoying Music #3: Kelly Clarkson
Ok, now don't get the wrong idea here. Kelly Clarkson herself is not annoying, nor is the fact that she even has a music career (this would be foreshadowing to a future post about the idiotic, useless TV entertainment crap they call American Idol, the show that brought Kelly into our consciousness...more later...I promise).
As you can see, Kelly is a very attractive girl, and if you've heard her on the radio, you know she has a genuinely nice voice. So what's annoying about her? Well, from what I've heard, on her last two or three singles, about 2/3 of the way into each song, she lets loose what can be best described as a Viking battle cry. I don't know if this is her trademark or something, but like I said, I've noticed it in several of her songs.
Then, as soon as the call to Valhalla leaves her throat, the music either stops or at least several of the instruments playing behind her stop or get quieter. It's almost like the guys in the band are either stunned senseless momentarily, or they're forced to stop playing to hold their ears. Kelly Clarkson: human EMP. I can just envision the band in the studio looking at Kelly like "Jeez, woman...do you have to do that?"
Well, I guess it's actually not so much annoying as it is weird.

Woo hoo, a Valkyrie in our midst! I can't say I've ever actually heard any of her songs, but now I'm curious.
Maybe she is simply trying to prepare for casting calls as Siren in the next X-Men movie.
I'll take ya'all's word on it never heard her sing before.
You've probably heard her songs on the radio, just not realized it was her. I've done that a lot. People will talk about a certain artist or group being so great, and I'm like "never heard of them", then I'll see the video or hear the name on the radio after the song and I'll be like "oh, THAT'S who that is!"
