Kelly Brianne Clarkson is an American singer, songwriter, actress, author, and television personality. She rose to fame for winning the first season of American Idol in 2002, which earned her a record deal with RCA. She is an American songwriter, became the honeymoon of the country in the first season of the show since winning the title “American Idol.” This win was not only a catapult to her stardom, but earned her a multi-album deal with “RCA Records,”‘ 19 Recordings,’ and’S Records. “She has since released numerous study albums, three of them at the top of’ US Billboard’.
She started her music career on September 17, 2002, with the double-A-side singles ‘Before Your Love’ and ‘A Moment Like This.’ The former became the best-selling single of 2002 and both singles jumped a record 52 positions to top the ‘Billboard Hot 100’ chart.
On April 15, 2003, she released her debut album ‘Thankful’ which received positive reviews from critics. The album debuted at number one spot on the ‘US Billboard 200,’ while its lead single ‘Miss Independent,’ was a top ten hit in the US.
With her second album ‘Breakaway,’ which was released on November 30, 2004, she decided to break away from her ‘American Idol’ image and adopted a rock music style. The album surpassed the commercial success of her debut album and also earned her two ‘Grammy Awards.’
On June 22, 2007, she released her third studio album ‘My December’ in which she once again experimented with darker themes and a heavier rock sound. However, it caused a dispute with her producer and music mogul, Clive Davis, who wanted her to record songs with more universal appeal. While the album received positive reviews, its sale numbers suffered for lack of promotion.
Clarkson, who had started co-writing her songs from her third album, continued to do so in her next album ‘All I Ever Wanted’ which was released on March 10, 2009. For this album, she denounced the darker themes and collaborated with a number of popular artists, which helped it debut at number one on the ‘Billboard 200.’ She released the songs ‘Love So Soft’ and ‘Move You’ in 2017. In the animated movie ‘The star,’ which is based on the birth of Jesus, she lent her voice alongside Oprah Winfrey, Steven Yeun, and Tyler Perry. She also appeared as a coach in the show ‘The Voice.’ Kelly released the song ‘Broken and Beautiful’ which is the lead single from the ‘Uglydolls: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack’ on March 27, 2019.
