KELLY OSBOURNE BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
| |
Kelly Michelle Lee Osbourne (born October 27,
1984 in London, England) is an actress, singer, and fashion
designer. Osbourne first rose to acclaim in The Osbournes, a
reality TV series about her famous family. Kelly is the daughter
of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon Osbourne. She
has two siblings: Aimee Osbourne and Jack Osbourne, and two half-siblings:
Jessica Osbourne and Louis Osbourne, Ozzy's children from his
first marriage.
Shut Up! & Changes Her debut album Shut Up! was released in 2002
to moderate sales, fueled mostly by a cover version of the hit
Madonna song Papa Don't Preach. Kelly's 2002 Epic debut, "Shut
Up," debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. The
album was met with fairly good critical reviews. However, ]
failed to spark much interest, and by May 2003, Kelly had been
dropped from Epic. The setback neither slowed her down nor shut
her up, and by autumn Kelly had resurfaced on the Sanctuary
label. She later recorded a duet with her father of "Changes," a
Black Sabbath song. The duet hit #1 on the UK charts, a first
for Ozzy and Kelly. Shut Up! was repackaged with this duet and a
few live cuts and rereleased as Changes. Sales did not improve.
Sleeping in the Nothing Kelly Osbourne's Sleeping in the Nothing
debuted at #117 on the Billboard Top 200 selling just under
9,000 copies. Sleeping in the Nothing sees Osbourne make a
rather smooth transition from rock to 80's dance-pop. Sleeping
in the Nothing was co-written and produced by legendary
songwriter/former popstar, Linda Perry. The first single from
the album, "One Word" peaked at #1 on three Billboard dance
charts. Kelly Osbourne becomes the first artist in the history
of the Billboard charts to top all three dance surveys in the
same week. The album was not without controversy, due to the
heavily altered photograph that graced the albums cover and most
of its promotional material, in which Osbourne appeared far
slimmer than normal. This angered many fans, due to her previous
reitterations of being happy with her size, and not wanting to
change for anyone. Discography Album Information Shut Up Release
