Kelly Clarkson Ran Out After Kurt Nilsen ‘Idol’ Upset
The New York Post reports ‘American Idol’ champ Kelly Clarkson abruptly left the set of ‘World Idol’ New Years’ night after gap-toothed plumber Kurt Nilsen of Norway pulled off the shocking upset. Clarkson placed second. “We didn’t get to talk. I think she went back to her hotel I guess,” Nilsen said. Clarkson appeared to grow increasingly disgruntled during the broadcast as the votes from different regions were tallied and it became clear she was losing to an otherwise-unknown singer who resembled a hobbit in the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy.
