Saturday 9: Heartbeat Song (2015)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) Kelly Clarkson is singing an upbeat song about falling in love. Think of your favorite love song. Is it about finding love or losing it?
Finding it!
...I'm a snowball running,
Running down into the Spring that's coming
All this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight shimmering love...
I so love that song!
2) This song was co-written by Kara DioGuardi, who was a judge on American Idol. Kelly was, of course, the first American Idol. Do you watch Idol, The Voice, or America's Got Talent?
We used to be very dedicated fans of AI, but haven't watched for years, ever since the original judges left. We watch The Voice.
3) In this video, Kelly is blonde. Clairol based a famous ad campaign around the assertion that "blondes have more fun." Tell us another commercial catchphrase (it can be for any product at all).
"Just do it."
4) As a young girl, Kelly wanted to be a marine biologist. She jokes that she changed her mind after seeing Jaws. Tell us about a movie that really scared you.
The Grudge. It was really different from most horror films at the time. The basic idea is that anyone who dies in a fit of rage leaves behind a manifestation of their anger. Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as an American nurse who moves to Japan and lives in a house that has the curse after a mother died there. It is super intense and VERY creepy!!
5) Kelly is very involved with NASCAR, performing at pre-race concerts and appearing at their Champions' Breakfast. Are you a race fan?
Nope.
6) Kelly is married to Brandon Blackstock, stepson of country superstar Reba McEntire. Are you a country music fan?
I'm a fan of all music, but country isn't one of my favorites.
7) The Blackstocks have a baby girl, River Rose. In May, the family visited an Australian wildlife preserve and introduced her to koalas and kangaroos. Have you visited the zoo this year?
Not yet!
8) Upon learning that she was getting criticized on Twitter for being "big," Kelly responded, "Say what you will. It's a free world. It doesn't bother me." How about you? Do you worry what other people think of you?
I care about what my friends and family think about me. If randoms on Twitter were talking about me, I couldn't care less.
9) She bid over $200,000 and won a ring that had once belonged to Jane Austen. (She doesn't have the ring, though; the British government banned its sale because it's a historic artifact and Kelly's money was returned.) She also has a first edition of one of Austen's novels. Who is your all-time favorite writer?
I'm not a fiction reader, so I don't have a fave.
