Before <i>Idol</i>, the native Texan had made a dismal run at Hollywood, and after she hightailed it back to Burleson, her friends convinced her to audition for the competition. The show launched Clarkson, and her debut album proved that America had voted correctly. "A Moment Like This" was a colossal hit, and the album went multiplatinum, winning Clarkson her first Grammy (for "Miss Independent"). On second album <I>Breakaway</I>, Clarkson distanced herself from <I>Idol</I>'s ickier aspects (<I>From Justin to Kelly</I>, anyone?) and went off in a new direction: adult contemporary-approved rocker chick. She then released <I>My December</I> in 2007. Co-written by Clarkson, the album is a more honest reflection of the <I>A.I.</I> heroine. In fact, RCA tycoon Clive Davis deemed it too negative and offered her $10 million to scratch some of the songs. Clarkson refused the offer and held her ground. Her next album, 2009's <I>All I Ever Wanted</I>, lightened <I>My December</I>'s darkness with the pop touch that made fans fall in love with her in the first place. - Rachel DevittAdult Alternativeen720Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:30:59 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56356&rws=%2Fkelly-clarkson%2Fmusic-videos.rss The first-ever American Idol, Kelly Clarkson won over America with her soulful voice, bubbly personality and "small-town girl makes it big" story.
