KELLY CLARKSON
      
 
  Home

Kelly Clarkson was the winner of the first American Idol. Kelly has gone from strength to strength, starting with her hits Miss Independent and Low from her first album to her worldwide smash hits Since U Been Gone and Behind These Hazel Eyes from her second album Breakaway.

Kelly's album Breakaway has sold 6x platinum in Australia. Fantastic.

This album is more rockier and upbeat than her first, mostly thanks to the two hits co-written by Max Martin. Though there are also lots of other good songs: 4th single Because of You, Gone, Addicted, Walk Away and You Found Me.

Kelly's voice is truly amazing and we must thank the American people for voting her as their Idol winner - good decision!

20 Darin Kelly toured Australia in November 2005, I saw her at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, which holds around 10,000 people and it was very exciting! Kelly put on a power packed concert, she totally rocked out, the crowd went wild. She sang all her hits and for Behind These Hazel Eyes she put on a wedding dress! The songs Beautiful Disaster and Because of You sent shivers down my spine. Kelly did not have any backup singers, and her voice is even better live (and it was live!). When she sang Since U Been Gone, the crowd was sent into a frenzy!
