Her voice is ridiculous, and she makes it look incredibly easy. None of the other American Idols can hold a candle to her.

i am so happy that after 11 years she's still in the industry & still selling big... Her latest album "Stronger" is really a hit.. This just show that America did the right thing voting for her & proclaiming her the 1st ever American Idol.. If Kelly didn't make it big after winning American Idol then maybe it won't even have Season 2 or 3... She establish AI credibility of making a big star in the making...

Having a powerful voice does not mean she's shouting, if that were the case she would not be the American Idol and her powerful voice is what made her the winner. She is wonderful regardless what people may say about her, I think it's just jealousy and people will always find ways to pick on her.

That girl did not just sing her heart out - she sang her SOUL OUT! Idol has a Motown night? Is that consistent in all the seasons, or in just the first few? That girl was acting like the stage was her bedroom and the audience was a mirror and the mic was her hairbrush! It's cute and it's rare for all the seasons that I have watched. Usually you can sense some kind of tension from the singer - that small bit of anxiety leaking out of their performance.

I still remember clearly that the show at the very beginning didn't give much attention to kelly (probably she just a girl next door not cookie cutter popstar they had in mind though they said they weren't looking for that on idol) BOY, SHE PROVED THEM WRONG!!!! All of them (producers including simon) were blown in top 10. SHE IS THE BIGGER STAR THAT CAME OUT OF IDOL...i honestly think if idol hadn't happend. Kelly would still be where she is now because she is talented and BLESSED. i love her since 2002 till forever. She has been my 1st vocalist for years...there are other singers that i like (comes & goes) but no one can replace her
