Winner of Fox TV’s 1st American Idol: Kelly Clarkson
It all started with the hit TV show American Idol: The Search for a Superstar competition, which in 2002, turned Kelly Clarkson from a music industry no one to a huge pop star success. A 20-year-old Texas born girl showed American Idol viewers just how it was done. In winning the number one spot on American Idol, Kelly received a $1 million recording contract with RCA. Her album was named Thankful and was released in the summer of 2003. Kelly would later star in her own movie and make several TV guest appearances on hit shows. Kelly Clarkson is great inspiration for any artist who are struggling and don’t think miracles exist, because they truly do.
