Template:Infobox musical artist 2 Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24 1982 in Fort Worth, Texas) is an American singer-songwriter who has enjoyed success in the pop and rock music genres. Clarkson made her debut under RCA Records after she won the highly publicized first season of the television series American Idol in 2002. She was originally marketed as a pop musician with her debut album Thankful (2003). With the release of her multi-platinum second album Breakaway (2004), Clarkson moved to a more pop rock-oriented style of music, and won two Grammy Awards. Clarkson's new album, entitled My December, is scheduled to be released on June 26, 2007. I am so stupid i hate myself. I cant sing worth a peice of crap. I am kind of gay i like to swing both ways.

Clarkson's name has been mentioned in two songs: The Jonas Brothers' remake of Busted's "Year 3000", and in the remix of "You Know I'm No Good" by Amy Winehouse featuring Ghostface Killah.

In the 2005 film The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Steve Carell's character screams out "Aaaahh! Kelly Clarkson!" after getting his chest waxed. This line was not scripted, but was featured in the film and its theatrical trailer.

Clarkson performed "What Hurts the Most", with Rascal Flatts, at ACM Awards in 2006 and will return again to sing a duet with Reba McEntire in 2007. This is her second performance on a country music award show, even though she is in the Pop/Rock genre.

On April 25, 2007, Clarkson appeared on Idol Gives Back and performed Patty Griffin's "Up to the Mountain (MLK Song)". After the performance, the audience who watched Clarkson perform live gave her a standing ovation.
