Kelly Clarkson talks about her new Christmas album, Wrapped in Red. (:43)
“I’m excited ’cause I got to do, my favorite song is ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside,’ and everybody always does it kind of big-bandy, and we kept, like, a little bit of the big-band production, but I’m doing it with Ronnie Dunn. He is, like, one of my favorite voices of all time. He’s so soulful, and that song — if you know Ronnie Dunn — is so his personality. Like, it’s straight-up his personality to say all of that to try and get you to stay, and have a drink. (laughs) But, anyway, so that’s fun, and then I can’t believe that Reba and Trisha [Yearwood] agreed to do a trio with me on it, so they’re doin’ a trio, and it’s ‘Silent Night,’ and it’s gonna be so epic. I’m so excited. Even if nobody buys this album, I’m just so excited that I have it, so (laughs) for me.” (laughs)
Kelly Clarkson is thrilled over her new Christmas album, Wrapped in Red. (:23)
“I gotta be honest with you, my Christmas album is like my favorite thing that I’ve ever done on the planet. It is so amazing. I’m a nerd about Christmas music. Bing Crosby’s Christmas CD, like ‘White Christmas’ album, is like, oh, my gosh, I love…and ‘White Christmas’ with Rosemary Clooney and Bing and all the other two, like, and Mariah’s when I was a kid and loved Reba’s. There’s so many Christmas CDs that I just am in love with, and so I was really excited about making it.”
