Kelly Clarkson has an amazing voice, and that’s exactly what you need to keep reminding yourself during her concert. In the past year we’ve been spoiled in Australia with the spectacular performances of Pink and Lady Gaga so have we come to expect too much from international artists touring the country?

I went to Kelly Clarkson’s first concert of her Australian tour in Brisbane and I have to say I loved singing along to her massive hits, but I was really disappointed by the show. There was no stage show and no breathtaking outfits. Kelly stood at her microphone and belted out hits in a t-shirt, unflattering black pants and NO SHOES! I would have really enjoyed the show in a smaller venue or bar, but I think in 2010 when you’re playing at a venue at seats 10,000 we really do expect a spectacular show.
