  I wanted to read this but I knew deep down it was another flip for clicks. sorry not me. put it in one page already im exing out this site

• Tonto Kawalski

  LOL @ THE DISPARITY BETWEEN CARRIE UNDERWOOD AND THE REST OF THEM KAROKEE SINGERS. IT GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT BIG, GO COUNTRY.

  • Pretty Girl

    yeah go country and be WHITE because there is no way she can sing better than J-Hud or Fantasia. She is the one who sings more like a karoke singer. And her songs are wack!!

  • jj

    No, it shows if you want to be big, be talented.

    She not only sings her butt off, she's a very in-demand songwriter.

• currvalicous

  I'm pleasantly surprised 'Tasia made 4 million, most of it may've come from her reality show. Get that money girl!

• danyale

  How jordan make more then kelly clrkson and j hud

  • Sallyone

    from her single "no air' w/Chris Brown...

• MJB’s #1 Fan

  This is hard to believe. Jennifer Hudson has made that little money with an Oscar, additional movies, endorsements, and albums? I don't think so.

• chris

  Kelly usually makes a lot more. She is in between albums and has not toured during the time of these numbers. She made almost 12 million the year before and that was just from album and touring. Kelly doesn't do endorsements, movies, TV, perfumes, and other crap. She likes to keep it low key and just enjoys making music and touring for her fans. Next year Kelly will be on top of this list again. She is the most talented of them all.

  • Pretty Girl

    bull shyt she can not beat j-hud and fantasia singing. but I guess u would feel that way because u are white and country like her!!

• Ice Harvest

  @mjb's #1 fan : I thot the same thing until I reread. They're only considering the monies made over a one year (pre tax) period. Idk y they didn't just do an overall "how much r they worth"

• Anon

  I agree with the first comment. I HATE having to click through pages just to see pictures that could all be on one page. It's so annoying.

• tata

  I do not think this is accurate. J hud made more than that i am sure.

• Tonto Kawalski

  I DONT MATTER IF YOU'RE WHITE AND COUNTRY CAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF WACK BLACK SINGERS AND RAPPERS GETTING PAID. COUNTRY MUSIC IN AMERICA IS JUST LIKE FOOTBALL. IT'S NUMBER ONE AND MAKES THE MOST MONEY NATIONWIDE. CARRIE UNDERWOOD COULD SELL OUT A ANY ARENA OR SPORTS STADIUM, OF COURSE WITH OTHER ACTS. BUT J-HUD, AND FANTASIA HAVE TO DO THE CLUB SCENES AND AUDITORIUMS. THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.

• your daddy

  You've listed Kelly Clarkson behind a list of losers who don't make as much as she pays her band. "2.4 million"??? Try TEN times that much, , idiot.
