On 14 November 2007 XXX, His Excellency, The President again had the opportunity to meet pop star Kelly Clarkson. Kelly Clarkson was the first winner of the "American Idol" singing contest in 2002. Since then, she has gone on to create a series of pop music hits and has also garnered two Grammy Awards. This was the second time His Excellency had a chance to meet Ms. Clarkson, the first being in August 2006 XXIX, at a concert in Marysville, California. The occasion this time was another concert, this one in Sacramento, California. This was the latest stop on Ms. Clarkson's "My December Tour", which showcases music from her third album. The concert began at around 9:00 PM and ran for over an hour, and included songs from her first two albums, "Thankful" and "Breakaway", as well as several songs from her latest album, "My December". Older and newer songs were intermingled, creating a very enjoyable mix that kept the audience interested and engaged. And engaged they were, stomping their feet, jumping up and down and singing along with each song.

After the show, a select few fans, our President included, met with Ms. Clarkson backstage. She greeted each visitor personally, gave hugs and posed with them for photos. As always, she was genuinely happy to meet her fans, engaging them in brief conversations before the photo ops. We wish Ms. Clarkson well on her continuing tour, and we look forward to her continued successes in the music industry.
