Ok I need the help of my blog readers to watch this clip from the PerezHilton blog and tell me what heavy metal band this is!
It's a bit ironic that it's AFTER Pookie and I no longer speak that his world of heavy metal and mine of Kelly Clarkson could actually come together!
It's a really long clip (like eight minutes) but I have to point out three things:
1. Kelly handled what could have been a REALLY humiliating situation (being spotted and then on-stage insulted and sexually harassed by some heavy metal band at a concert she was at) PERFECTLY (she basically faked it and managed to not look awkward at all)
2. She was perfectly uninhibited, so it neither looked like she was trying too hard, nor was she intimidated, and I think for someone with her image she demonstrated amazing coolheadedness and basically took charge and owned the situation.
3. Can we just mention the fact that even TRASHED (she's OBVIOUSLY wasted, and even says to the guy who pulls her on stage "I'm drunk," which is why he proceeds to say that they're all on different drugs), she out-sings all of them on their own song. I think it's a testament to her genius that she IMPROVISES HARMONY (on the first try) in "Oh Sweet Child of Mine" (it's worth watching just for that, MOM, since you think she isn't that good!) and then she totally captures the rock attitude even better than they do, later in the song.
It's an annoying clip, but as the PerezHilton blog says "bitch can throw it down!"

Name That Band
