Kelly Clarkson Biography

One of the show's most naturally gifted singers the 20 year-old Burleson TX native's vocal talents were discovered when she was in seventh grade when her school's choir teacher heard her singing and urged Clarkson to join the choir. After high school Clarkson cultivated her voice and went to Hollywood to make her name; she appeared as an extra on an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch but no other opportunities materialized. Upon returning to Burleson Clarkson worked at a movie theater promoted Red Bull energy drinks and ultimately worked as a cocktail waitress at a comedy club before entering the American Idol contest.
One of 10000 aspiring singers Clarkson distinguished herself not only with her big surprisingly mature voice but also with her down-to-earth charm and sense of humor: at one of her auditions she switched places with judge Randy Jackson who did an impromptu version of R. Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly. Over the course of the 13-week show her consistently strong performances of songs like Respect Natural Woman Stuff Like That There and Without You earned Clarkson enough audience votes to claim one of the contest's two finalist positions. After singing A Moment Like This and Before Your Love both of which were written for the show Clarkson won the American Idol contest with 58 percent of the audience's votes. In addition to the show's prize of a $1 million recording contract with RCA Clarkson secured a deal with Creative Artists Agency and several bookings including the national American Idol tour and a performance of the national anthem at the September 11 commemoration at Washington DC's Lincoln Memorial.
