Article

Kelly Brianne (born Kelly Brianne Clarkson, April 24, 1982), known professionally as Kelly Clarkson, is an American singer, songwriter, and television personality. Rising to fame after winning the first season of American Idol, she has established a multi-decade career in music and television and is credited with having a lasting impact on televised talent shows. Known as a vocal powerhouse and versatile performer, she was ranked one of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone.

Signed to RCA Records in 2002, Clarkson released her chart-topping debut single, "A Moment Like This", which became the best-selling single of the year in the US. Her R&B and gospel-influenced debut album, Thankful (2003), entered the US Billboard 200 at number one. Clarkson shifted genres to pop rock for Breakaway (2004), one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century. Its singles "Since U Been Gone" and "Behind These Hazel Eyes" were among the top ten charted songs of 2005 in the US, while "Because of You" topped the charts in Europe. After the lukewarm reception to My December (2007), with its darker rock music, Clarkson returned to radio-friendly pop rock sounds with All I Ever Wanted (2009) and Stronger (2011), which each produced number-one singles "My Life Would Suck Without You" and "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)", respectively.
