Attention all straight males!

I am conducting a non-scientific poll to determine whether straight men actually listen to Kelly Clarkson music on a regular basis (i.e. at least 3 times a week). If you are a straight male, kindly take the poll!

Who's Kelly Clarkson? Yet another manufactured plastic pop icon that I am ignorant about?

I prempt the poll and say i only second hand listen to her, i.e. I occasionally overhear her when my sister is listening to her.

Eh...Nope. :)

Yup (http://www.kellyclarksonweb.com/)

yep... a pop singer who won the inaugural "american idol" tv show back in 2002. so if you're a heterosexual male, i'd like to get your opinion!

I do. I own her CDs and I voted for her on the first A.I.

Who is Kelly Clarkson?

She's got no tits. Doesn't she have the money for a boob job?

are you implying that unless straight men/boys listen to a pop singer she cant possibly be worth anything?

i dont listen to pop music myself but i understand that kelly clarkson is an extremely popular singer. what would it matter if not ONE straight male listened to her willingly

No, but I also don't know who she is, but the name sounds familiar for a number of reasons, one of them being, the name is a common English name (as in the language, not the country-thing, in that case, I would say, "...the name is a common UKite name," or, "...the name is a common Scottish, English, Northern Irish, and Welsh name").

I listen to pop sometimes when it serves the atmosphere, but only good sounds. No single artist in particular.

what would it matter if not ONE straight male listened to her willingly

Yeah, exactly. Because she's a pop singer she'd still suck regardless.

The response is an overwhelming 'no' so far.

7-2!

Of course she's got tits.

Well I'm gay and I like her. I don't see the corelation though.

you guys don't listen to kelly clarkson because A) you suck at life and dont listen to anything good B)you live in a cave without human contact C) you're a n00b D) all the above

No, I don't listen to her, but it has nothing to do with my sexuality and everything to do with the fact that she's just another pop star singing kitschy muzak. Why would I want to listen to that crap?

Edit: Damn, those are small breasts!

Clearly you listen to Kelly Clarkson. I don't, but not because of how much I do or do not suck at life, where I live or how long I've been here. I just don't like her.

I don't think any males, gay or straight, listen to Kelly Clarkson. Sexual orientation doesn't impair your ability to know something is shitty music when you hear it.

Is a chick with a decent voice being voted as the "American Idol" a dramatic example of the superficiality of the contest and it's appeal to the lowest common denominator of this country...

Or am I the crazy one? :p

C) All of the above

What the hell is a Kelly Clarkson?

Well, she might be ok if she had a bigger butt and did some real music.

Do straight guys listen to Kelly Clarkson?

Does Anybody listen to Kelly Clarkson?

1: I sure as hell don't.

2: I hope not.

Who's Kelly Clarkson?

Only when it's on the radio and I don't feel like changing the station.

I'll listen to her on the radio, as it's infintely better than hearing that "My Humps" song by the Black Eyed Peas for the nth time... especially when I'm driving around with the kids.

Yes, she's actually not that bad. And there's a really cool FF IX AMV using one of her songs. She's a hell of a lot better than most other pop artists, and she's not nearly as bad as 99.99% of rap and country.

Your question is faulty: it implies that people who don't listen to Kelly Clarkson are not heterosexual males. I think that may not be where you wanted this to go.

I don't listen to Kelly Clarkson. I watch her though. Oh boy....

Good point. In hindsight I should have worded it like this: FOR HETEROSEXUAL MEN: Do you listen to Kelly Clarkson regularly?

You have the same problem. Let's see:
the "no" option fits heterosexual men who do not, but also women, gay men, bisexuals, and hermaphrodites. Sure, that does nothing to the question itself, but
I'm guessing you post a poll in order to get a result. As it is, you might get a false majority.

No.
There are exceptionally few young female solo artists that I listen to. I find they all sound the same, and aren't all that interesting to listen to in the first place.

I don't listen to Kelly Clarkson. I watch her though. Oh boy....

[/reinforcing heterosexuality]You got it. turn on the music video and mute the sound.
