Comments on Idol cancelation
Clark comments about Fox ending American Idol after its fifteenth season.
Even when people say ratings are coming down, that’s like, what, 20 million to 15 [million]? It’s still millions more than the others! They’re killing all the other shows on the network. I do think it’s a lot harder because there’s such a plethora of them. I don’t think it matters how you got here, it matters if you’re good enough to hang around
On Air interview
Seacrest interviews Clarkson during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her album Piece By Piece.
It took long enough. Man, I haven’t had a record for a while, so I’m excited it’s finally out and everybody is going to hear it. I had already actually recorded my vocals on the Maroon Five tour we did two years ago. So I had already recorded my part, and then I had asked John to do it by the time we started actually doing the album. He recorded it while he was on the road and then I kind of re-cut my vocals again just to kind of match him on certain parts. God, he’s the coolest and he’s also the most talented. It must be so nice being John Legend.
BBC Radio 1 interview
Clarkson reveals in an interview with BBC 1 Radio that she sometimes feels she has a difficult time getting other artists to collaborate with her.
I honestly would collaborate with a lot of people, but everyone usually says no. I’m not kidding you. I have legitimately asked several people that I’m not going to call out, and that’s cool, but I don’t know. I ask good people, I don’t want to sing with crap people, so I mean, I ask people who are great vocalists, but I’m not going to point out anyone. I have asked several people… Sometimes I feel like I have the plague, or leprosy, they’re like, ‘If you get too close…’ I don’t know.
People cover
Clarkson appears on the cover of People to discuss how she keeps her marriage and career on fire.
He knows performing is what I love, and he completely supports me in it, as I do him. But if Mike ever told me he needed me to quit, I’d quit. When you make that promise to somebody, and you stand before God and your family and friends, you’ve got to do everything that you possibly can to make that work.

It’s sweetly damaged. A little rock and roll. A little tattered. Nothing like a princess thing!
