John Michael Montgomery, Kelly Clarkson Go Way Back

Posted: April 17th, 2009 at 10:57 am  |  By: Alison Bonaguro  

John Michael Montgomery, Kelly ClarksonOK. So maybe John Michael Montgomery didn't make it to the top of Kelly Clarkson's list of musical influences. And maybe he wasn't an integral part of her developmental years as an pop artist. But still. She lists the country crooner's 1995 hit, "I Can Love You Like That," as the song she first slow-danced to. (That would have made her right around 13 years old.) It's in this week's People magazine, on their Soundtrack of My Life page. Clarkson admits she was dreading it. "I slowly turned into more of a romantic, but I was not like that at all when I was a kid," she says. So if that's true that she's more romantic now, maybe when she sings that her life would suck without you, what she really means is that she would give you her heart, be all that you need, show you you're everything that's precious to her. About her actual dance partners back then, Clarkson said, "And poor guys, they're always off beat."

    Walter, maybe the problem is your posts have nothing whatsoever to do with this blog?

    My prediction: Kelly Clarkson will release a country album by the year 2011.

    WalterL - Do you have to keep plugging Kellie Pickler, on every blog that’s posted?

    I’m not sure Kelly Clarkson belongs on a CMT blog either.

    The blog is about the song - which Montgomery was a part of. It’s not just about Kelly Clarkson.
