Why she might be annoying:

    She dislikes Autotune (then again, who doesn’t?).
    She wrote her own IMDb bio.
    She is sometimes confused with Kerry Ellis (it doesn’t help that the Kelly & Ellis monniker vaguely resembles the West End star’s name - often redirecting Google searches as a result).
    She is credited as singing the closing credits song ‘Six Times Around the Sun’ in the CBS JonBenet Ramsey mini-series, ‘Perfect Murder, Perfect Town,’ but it doesn’t appear anywhere in the series and audio of it can’t even be found.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She sang background vocals for Thomas Dolby.
    She has narrated and produced numerous audio books.
    She won her Grammy as a featured vocalist with Celine Dion on ‘My Heart will Go On,’ which won Record of the Year.
    As a songwriter her ‘Flyer Song’ was adopted by the US Navy in a video tribute to military families.
    Her and her husband’s debut Kelly & Ellis album ‘The Long Road to You’ won the 2018 IMEA A/C Album of the Year and had a Top 10 Hit on European Americana Radio at #4.
    Their song 'You and Me' was listed in Cooper Boone's The Playlist in Country Living Magazine, alongside Taylor Swift's Shake It Off and Kid Rock's All Summer Long.
