Kelly Clarkson Rocks My Favorite Commercial

I admit it. I smile every time I see this commercial…

If you haven’t seen it, here’s a slightly extended version of the Toyota commercial featuring Kelly Clarkson. It makes me smile because I love Chris Berman giving everything he can to a performance of a Kelly Clarkson song—in front of Kelly Clarkson…

Why Is Everybody Picking on Scotty McCreery?

I’m thinking Scotty McCreery might be thinking of warming up that low voice of his to do a chorus of the oldie, “Charlie Brown” and sing “Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me?”

As for the answer to that question, I honestly have no idea…

Friday, one of the top three stories on MSN.com’s homepage was Scotty’s “lip-synching fiasco” at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Scotty’s song started before he started “singing,” so he was revealed to be lip-synching.

So what?

EVERY performer in the parade lip synchs. It’s just not technically possible for them to actually sing. And with all the commotion and the people cheering, it’s totally understandable how a young performer like Scotty could make that mistake. I say give the kid a break. I've seen seasoned performers make this very same mistake over the years...

If you want to see the “fiasco,” you can see it here courtesy of TMZ.com…
