SOME PEOPLE WAIT A LIFETIME FOR A MOMENT LIKE THIS:10 years ago today, Kelly Clarkson was crowned the first American Idol. 5 albums, 10 top ten singles, and 2 Grammys later, she's still kicking. For whatever else Idol has given us, that's not bad. And in odd Kelly Clarkson trivia? "Breakaway" was actually co-written by and for Avril Lavigne.

And her greatest contribution to pop culture, from 40 Year Old Virgin, and I quote:

I believe I first saw this linked on Above the Law: http://blogs.findlaw.com/seventh_circuit/2012/08/seventh-circuit-what-doesnt-kill-you-makes-you-rip-off-nietzsche.html
ReplyDeleteNever was a Kelly Clarkson fan, but even so, she gets permanent credit from me for being the music for the cancer kids' lip-dub at Seattle Children's Hospital.
ReplyDeleteThat? Is kind of awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo American Idol started out as a summer show? Not spring? I did not know that. The first season I watched was David Cook's, so I only know Kelly Clarkson from the radio. I'll admit it...I'm a fan. (Of Kelly Clarkson, not AI - what is going on with that show lately? All new judges? Crazy!)
ReplyDeleteYep... summer. I recall watching the finale while on my Labor Day weekend honeymoon.
