Kelly Clarkson Bio
Who would have guessed that small
town sweetheart Kelly Clarkson would eventually grow up and
become one of America's brightest stars?
Kelly's innate singing ability was first discovered in 7th grade
after her junior high choral director heard her singing in the
school hallway and encouraged her to sign up for the school
choir. Up until that point, Kelly was considering joining the
band!
Kelly immersed herself in choral activities throughout high
school, starring in musicals ("Brigadoon"), performing overseas,
and earning top honors as a member of the Texas All-State Choir.
After answering a newspaper ad, she coincidentally hooked up
with famed songwriter Gerry Goffin (("You Make Me Feel Like A)
Natural Woman") through a mutual friend and began recording
vocal demos of his songs. Little did Kelly know that the same
song Goffin was famous for, would later provide her with a
moment of clarity as she worked to achieve her dream.
Kelly's stay in Los Angeles was tragically cut short after
Goffin grew ill, her apartment burned down, and her car got
towed. Both emotionally and financially, Kelly was drained.
She turned home to recuperate and re-energize herself before
heading back to L.A. Shortly thereafter, her best friend,
Jessica, presented her with paperwork for American Idol, FOX
Television's national talent search competition/television show.
After dozens of auditions, she found herself centerstage, among
the top 30 contestants, and live on national television.
When asked what the greatest thing to come out of the American
Idol experience was, Kelly said, "the best moment for me was
when I realized that I actually really wanted this. This is a
public life now, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to do that part
of it...The defining point was during my performance of "Natural
Woman." I was on stage and the crowd was just going crazy, and I
was like, I think I can do this."
It may have took Kelly a while to realize that she could handle
it, but the American public showed no hesitation in casting
their votes and naming Kelly Clarkson their American Idol on
September 4, 2002.
