BO BICE Beware!

Kelly Clarkson finds rock isn't a hard place

"American Idol's" massive public relations machine has gone out of its way to proclaim this year's runner-up, Bo Bice, as the series' first authentic "rocker."
Kelly Clarkson, decked out in black pants, a studded belt and a vintage Doors T-shirt (modified into a form-fitting halter top) for her Saturday performance at Northerly Island, might disagree.
Singing with a serpentine swagger as the band pounded out two-ton riffs, Clarkson looked and sounded refreshingly less like an "American Idol" than ever before -- Bo Bice be warned.

While I am very proud and happy for our 'local girl done good', Kelly Clarkson , is succeeding in creating an identity and voice of her own, away from the Idol fray, But I really don't think Bo Bice needs to be concerned, nor do I think it is his character to be envious of Ms. Clarkson's success! (as Mr. Downing might have us bo-lieve)
Rock on Kelly and Rock on Bo!
