Can you picture Kelly singing this?

As reported earlier, Kelly Clarkson is rumored to have recorded "Hook Up," a song that was cut from Katy Perry's One of the Boys. If this is true, do you think this is the direction Kelly should be taking? Listen to Katy's version of the song below:



It's definitely more Breakaway than it is Thankful or My December, but is it necessarily smart that Kelly is taking on Katy Perry rejects? Before rushing to judge Kelly, though, it's important to remember the situation she is now in.

After basically getting her way on My December despite turning down a $10 million offer from Clive Davis to include a few more "commercially friendly" tracks that included Kelly's turning down of a Lindsay Lohan song, she is basically a slave to Davis and must record material that he sees fit for her image.

Whether or not this is true, it appears we'll know in a few short weeks when the track list for Kelly's album is made public.
