Kelly Clarkson Pays Tribute to Patti Page and Carole King at 2013 Grammy Awards

Just a few minutes after winning the award for Pop Vocal Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards, pop star-turned-country singer Kelly Clarkson sang a stellar tribute to Patti Page and Carole King — turning in the standout vocal performance of the night.

Page passed away on Jan. 1 at the age of 85. She was the most successful singer of the ’50s, selling 100 million records, but her best-known track was ‘Tennessee Waltz,’ which Clarkson performed Sunday night (Feb. 10) in a very strong rendition that would have done Page proud.

King is one of the most influential female singer-songwriters of all time, and Clarkson gave her the nod with a stellar ‘(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman’ that put the lie to the notion that awards show performances have to suck.

Clarkson’s performance was a bit of a surprise — she had been rumored to pay tribute to Page and King by singing ‘How Much Is That Doggie in the Window’ and ‘I Feel the Earth Move.’

‘Sad Cat Diary’ Offers Hilarious Insight Into the Mind of a Cat

As, you know, Jon refers to me as 'The Cat Lady' on the air. Just because I adopted my first cat a year ago and have since acquired 7 more, doesn't make me a cat lady. Or does it??? ;-) Ok, I know it would appear that I, if I'm not the cat lady NOW, I am well on my way. In the past year, I have become very in tune with cats and all of their personalities. Maybe that's why I love them so much and they, in turn, are drawn to me. lol

I found a video that gives a little insight to the mind of the sad cat (which is only ONE of their many personalities) Watch, learn and laugh!! It's seriously, hilarious!

Remember When George Strait Went to Prison?

It was the wildest show behind bars, and George Strait was in the thick of it for one year in the early '80s. He wasn't the only one. Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall … they all did time behind the walls of the Huntsville Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
