audition secured her a spot as a
contestant and sent her back to
Hollywood I definitely think we should
come to Hollywood okay but you through
to Hollywood’s over the course of three
months the aspiring artist showed off
her singing skills vocal range and
likeable personality through multiple
elimination rounds she survived the
judges criticism and audience voting
thanks to her interpretations of several
songs and beat out Justin Guarini in the
final round Kelly Oakes’s as the
competition’s winner
Clarkson became the first person to earn
the American Idol title and won a
contract with RCA Records during the
finale

eventually became her first single

after it jumped over 50 spots to the top
of the Billboard Hot 100 chart her 2003
debut thankfull was an instant hit and
atop the Billboard 200 the pop rock
album also comprised her first Grammy
nominated song miss independent that
same year clarkson returned to American
Idol on several occasions and made her
feature film debut in the critically
reviled box-office bomb from Justin to
Kelly Luke you and I are just friends
okay it would be the kind of friends
that go on dates together and you know

sister brother type friendship following
her second place finish in world Idol

sound with her sophomore effort she also
co-wrote half a dozen tracks on 2004’s
breakaway which became a top three disc

multiple mega hits as well including the
title cut and the number two tracks
since you’ve been gone
Clarkson spent the next few years
stretching her vocal chops in
performances around the world including
the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics she also
worked at reshaping her post idol image
by refusing to conform to what was
normally expected of pop starlets her
outspoken nature caused problems with
her label and soon she dropped her
management company
she was also forced to cancel a tour due
to low sales amid those problems
clarkson released the darker 2007 album
my december that effort showcased
Clarkson’s songwriting abilities as the
artist helped pen all the album’s tracks
it went to number two on Billboard
during this period Clarkson also sang on
television and at various events and
later teamed up with Reba McEntire on
the two worlds – voices tour
2009 saw the release of the
chart-topping all I ever wanted the
grammy-nominated work was especially
notable for the single my life would
suck without you which made a
record-breaking jump from the 97th to
the first position on the Billboard Hot
100
the single already gone also made waves
after it was released against Clarkson
wishes as the singer felt it sounded too
similar to Beyonce’s 2008 song halo
following a supporting tour Clarkson
collaborated with Jason Aldean on the
commercially successful power ballad
don’t you want to stay
Oh
Clarkson continued getting in touch with
her country roots on 2011 stronger the
number to pop rock disc produced the top
10 single mr. know-it-all and the number
one smash stronger what doesn’t kill you
what doesn’t kill you makes you strong
following her performances at Super Bowl
46 and the 54th Grammy Awards
Clarkson appeared as a mentor on the
voice in 2012 Kelly Clarkson is the
perfect advisor for these kids because
she’s had hits she’s had ups and downs
in this industry and she’s still the
same solid grounded person that she’s
always been thanks to her dynamic vocals
endearing persona and determination
Kelly Clarkson has gained worldwide
popularity and sold millions of albums
despite ups and downs she’s remained
grounded and passionate about music so
it’s little wonder that Clarkson is the
most successful American Idol contestant
to date
