Following the success of her punkish cover of Madonna's ‘Papa Don't Preach’ the pink-haired 17-year-old daughter of Ozzy Osbourne is booked in to record a whole album. She is due to go into the studio next month and Ozzy’s label Sony/Epic plan to release the album in the Autumn as the second season of MTV’s smash hit reality sitcom airs. ‘Papa Don't Preach’, which appears on The Osbourne Family Album, has proved very popular and Kelly has been performing the track at events all over the US. The album will be overseen by Epic executive Ric Wake, the man behind the careers of Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Jennifer Lopez, but Kelly has told USA Today that her album will be "nothing like" those other pop singers. "Of course my father gives me advice," she went on to say. "I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for him." "I'm kind of crapping myself because I don't think I'm a very good singer," she told MTV. "I consider myself lucky, because I know there are people who can do it better than I can. I never wrote a song in my life until a couple of weeks ago."
