No More Idol For Kelly Clarkson

It seems Kelly Clarkson is hoping to shake the American Idol tag right off.

Clarkson, on the advice of her management, refused to appear on the latest series of Australian Idol during her trip to Australia. Fans of the show will remember that she appeared on the first series, and was filmed meeting the contestants.

But a lot can change in two years and Clarkson seems to want to focus on developing her musical credibility - something that Idol obviously doesn't convey.
