Biography

The winner of Fox TV's first American Idol: The Search For A Superstar competition, during the summer of 2002 Kelly Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) went from an anonymous talent to a nationally-known singer performing for an audience of millions of viewers. One of the show's most naturally gifted singers, the 20-year-old Texan's vocal talents were discovered when she was in seventh grade, when her school's choir teacher heard her singing and urged her 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 materialised. Upon returning home to Burleson, Texas, Clarkson promoted Red Bull energy drinks and ultimately worked as a cocktail waitress at a comedy club before entering the American Idol contest. One of 10 000 aspiring singers, Clarkson distinguished herself not only with her big, surprisingly mature voice, but also with her down-to-earth charm and sense of humour: 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. Several bookings followed, including the national American Idol tour and a performance of the national anthem at the September 11 commemoration at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.

Despite her newfound fame, Clarkson opted to remain in Texas rather than move to New York or Los Angeles. Her first single, “A Moment Like This”, was released just two weeks after she won the contest.

Her single skyrocketed to the No 1 slot on the Billboard charts in just three weeks, creating an all-time world record for largest climb.
