Kelly Clarkson is no stranger to success. She got her start from winning the very first season of American Idol back in 2002. You know that one show that surprisingly has stayed the #1 show despite its seven judge changes through its ten years on the air? Her first single, the double a-side “A Moment Like This/Before Your Love”, stayed at number one for two weeks breaking The Beatles’ record for biggest leap to the top spot jumping from 52-1. This record was broken once more by her 2009 single “My Life Would Suck With You”, jumping from 97-1 and staying there two weeks. The latter being the only number-one song by an AI alumni which was not connected to the show itself.

On the album charts she has maintained great success too. Her five studio albums have debuted and peaked in the top three, including two number one albums. This includes her latest, Stronger, which debuted behind Coldplay at number two this past October.
But breaking records and being labeled the best-selling reality-contestant worldwide is not what makes Kelly. It is her charisma, simplicity, and power vocals which define her. This is all best seen live.
Clarkson is set to embark on her seventh tour, starting on January 13th, 2012 in Connecticut, ending on April 12th, 2012 in California. So far this is seen as the first leg of the tour, alluding to additional dates. The first leg will make forty stops, and the stage will be shared with opening act Matt Nathanson.
