Kelly Clarkson

The path of American singer Kelly Clarkson to the musical Olympus began with winning a talent show. The girl did not repeat the fate of most of the graduates of such competitions, whose names are forgotten already a couple of months after the final. Having managed to conclude a successful contract, the artist recorded several striking albums, won the prestigious Grammy award four times, and from year to year gathers thousands of loyal fans on her tours.

It is easy to guess the real southerner in the temperamental and energetic Kelly Clarkson. The singer was born in 1982 in the “most American” state of the United States - Texas, and her childhood was spent in the small town of Burleson. The girl's ancestors came to America from the British Isles, among them were Irish and Welsh. Kelly became the youngest in the family of Genie and Stephen Clarkson, who raised three children.

The divorce of the parents, who had been married for 17 years, led to the fact that the future artist was separated from her sister Alissa and brother Jason, left to live alone with her mother. While studying at school, the girl began to sing in the choir and participate in the production of musicals. At the same time, Kelly's hobbies extended to serious school subjects like biology, but the passion for music soon came to the fore.

After graduating from high school, Clarkson worked in several jobs at the same time, trying to save up for a demo that she could present to labels. The path of a provincial aspiring singer without connections was not so easy. In pursuit of her dream, the girl went to Los Angeles, where she dreamed of conquering Hollywood.

From the first time, the southerner did not achieve her goal: after living for six months in the city of dreams and unable to conclude a contract, Kelly returned to her native Texas. Here she worked in a bar, sang in an amusement park and played in local theater productions.

Failures did not knock the girl down, and she did not abandon her intentions to achieve fame. In the spring of 2002, the casting for the new talent show American Idol started, and Kelly managed to pass it, although she already had little faith in herself. However, after entering the top 30, the rising star gained confidence and became more and more popular with the viewer with each stage. As a result, in September 2002, the singer won the 1st season of the popular project and received a millionth contract to record her debut album.

Taking 1st place in the competition, Kelly sang the song "A Moment Like This", written especially for the winner. The track became her first official single and immediately "shot", climbing to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

After that, in 2003, the singer released her debut album "Thankful", which immediately topped the Billboard 200. The disc went platinum twice and lifted the singer to unprecedented heights, but critics insist that its success is not due to musical merit, but rather to the popularity of the show.

Clarkson's second album, "Breakaway", comes out a year later and confirms that the first success was not accidental. The hits “Because of you”, “Addicted” and “Gone” are played here. The solo album was declared platinum 7 times, and the title track became the soundtrack for the movie "The Princess Diaries - 2". Kelly does not stop there and is working on new compositions, receiving the first Grammy in 2006 for the best female performance of the pop song "Since U Been Gone".

Having released 2 more solo records, by 2010 Clarkson is rightfully ranked among the world stars. And at this time he was recording almost his main hit - the track “Stronger”, which would form the basis of the album of the same name, which brought another Grammy award. In total, the singer's discography includes 7 official releases, the last of which - “Piece by Piece” - was released in February 2015.

Arriving in Hollywood in the early 2000s, Kelly began acting in episodes of TV series, including “Sabrina the Little Witch”, “King of the Hill”, “Riba”. However, tiny works did not bring fame to the actress.

She got her first and last leading role in 2003 after the success of American Idol. Together with final show rival Justin Guarini, Clarkson stars in the youth comedy From Justin to Kelly. The film received the Golden Raspberry anti-award for Worst Musical in 25 Years. This was the end of the girl's acting career. She occasionally appears in films and TV series as cameos, and also voices cartoons.

Kelly Clarkson is one of those who are not afraid to share details of their personal life with journalists. The singer met her future husband Brandon Blackstock in 2006 at one of the music awards. The man works in the same industry as his wife, as a manager.

The relationship did not immediately flow into a romantic channel, but gradually the girl saw her only one in the guy. The couple met for more than 2 years and got married in October 2013. The celebration took place in the vicinity of the center of American country music - the southern city of Nashville, Tennessee.

In 2014, the happy newlyweds had a daughter, River Rose, and in 2016, a son, Alexander Remington. Moreover, the woman told the fans right during the concert that she was pregnant for the second time, unable to contain her violent emotions.

Bearing both children was given to the singer with great difficulty, and after giving birth to a boy, Kelly decided to resort to radical measures. Surgeons tied the patient's fallopian tubes, and her husband performed a vasectomy, making it impossible for the next child to appear.

Clarkson said that she now feels absolutely happy, because there are four children in their house: the couple are also raising Savannah and Seth - Brandon's daughter and son from his first marriage. With the birth of babies, the artist recovered significantly, but does not attach any importance to this.
