Kelly Clarkson Didn't Know She Auditioned for American Idol

[@swankelly]

I just finished watching the first season of American Idol. Simon made a comment about how when she's a star, she'll never act like a diva and be the same sweet small town girl. He was so right.

[@elgeorge437]

Swan Kelly Damn that’s pretty cool

[@matthewhagner7803]

I made it to boot camp years ago and he gave so much incredible honest advice. Man knows what he is doing.

[@unsignedredefined7525]

He has been pretty accurate in his predictions, he told Carrie Underwood she'd be the best selling idol of all time and he was right.

[@patrickmaruniak5987]

Swan Kelly it's sad that Mariah Carey's not that way. She's a total diva. She need to take some lessons from Kelly Clarkson.

[@pakman54321]

@@patrickmaruniak5987 Mariah Carey was a legend when Kelly auditioned for American Idol. Not comparable. Mariah is actually down to earth and very good to her fans but she has to protect herself

[@BrittanysMusicUtube]

She's so humble. She really thinks that singing is "the only talent I possess" but she's so beautiful and sweet even after being insanely famous for 16 years, THAT is a talent in and of itself. Bravo girl. Bravo.

I think what makes her is so likeable is Kelly Clarkson, is she’s the real deal, she doesn’t come off something for pretentious like most famous people do. She’s one that has not let fame go to her head.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

BINGO !

[@Bloooo95]

Kelly: “[The other coaches] all like to remind me that they’ve all won.” Also Kelly: “Hold my drink.” Also Kelly: *wins The Voice back to back*

I can hardly believe how much time has passed since the evening that I was in the common area of my dorm, voting for Kelly for winner of the first American Idol. On a landline phone, no less.

Iyusri Shah Why would someone go looking for some girl from wherever who wasted years of your life doing stupid shit living in an invisible fence in a town with a bunch of paid programmed brown nosing puppets...Dont want any part of a culture.. family..religion..neighborhood..peoples lives u dont like...or not attracted to For a girl and a car...u can find anywhere ..dont care if they are rich.. ruining half peoples lives cuz they cant get laid or make friends without the entire town... People put you in prison and take "extension" chords for a metaphor...every social interaction you've ever had anywhere has been recorded, reported, and every business or person you've been introduced to ..hung out with or at.. has been planned.. if every social interaction you've ever had... means you can never have a life of your own if you wanted
