I haven't posted a shameless Kelly Clarkson video in a few weeks, so I am long overdue.  Okay.  I have a handful songs that I consider some of my favorite of all time.  On that list are songs like "Purple Rain" by Prince, "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin and more I will share in a future blog.  But, another song on that list is most definitely "Foolish Games" by Jewel.  And, now, that song just got BETTER!  Kelly Clarkson has joined Jewel for a brand new version.  Check it out!
