As Kelly Clarkson prepares to launch her own talk show later this year, she?s looking sagely to Ellen DeGeneres for inspiration.
The Grammy-winning songstress dropped by ?The Ellen DeGeneres Show? Tuesday, where she chatted about the challenges of launching her forthcoming daytime gig, ?The Kelly Clarkson Show.?
?We did the pilot, and I was oddly comfortable,? Clarkson said. ?I kinda figured out, if I led with music, then it made me more comfortable. So each show, we lead with music.?
As far as the interview segments are concerned, however, Clarkson admitted she needed a little practice when it came to listening to her guests.
?I do need to learn, and I have literally been watching ... all of your episodes and Oprah [Winfrey?s] and everyone?s, because I?m like, ?How do I listen?? I was not good at listening,? she said. ?I just don?t shut up.?
?I think I?m going to be really good at all the other things ? just not that one,? she continued. ?But I like a challenge.?
