Kelly Clarkson: The American Dream

The winner of the American talent show, the owner of platinum albums and the Grammy Award - Kelly Clarkson, managed to realize her American dream.

Childhood and youth

April 24, 1982 in a small town in Texas, Kelly Clarkson was born. Her biography would not differ from the lives of millions of American girls, if not for the divorce of her parents. After seven years of marriage they decided to divorce. Kelly stays with her mother. Some time they wander through the towns of Texas, until they settle in Burleson. There, Kelly's mother meets her second husband.

Kelly Clarkson attends a regular high school in his town. Here the teachers notice her singing talent and are invited to sing in the school choir. Being a pupil of the higher school, the girl actively participates in musicals and song competitions. It is increasingly being visited by the dream of becoming a real famous singer. Kelly takes lessons in vocals and stage skills and daily works hard to achieve his goal.

Through thorns ...

After graduating from school, Kelly Clarkson gets a job and takes extra work. All this in order to collect the necessary amount of money with which you could pay for the recording of your song. When the demo of the girl in her arms, she sends her to the recording companies and expects a flurry of calls from the producers. However, this does not happen. The singer does not lower her hands and continues to walk confidently towards her dream.

Kelly Clarkson moved to Hollywood, where she hoped to advance with the help of Derry Goffin - songwriter, quite famous among American stars. But Derry fell seriously ill, and patronage on his part became impossible. During this period, singer Kelly Clarkson starred in TV shows and commercials, worked as a bartender and played in the theater and once even got an episodic role in a big movie.

To the stars

The fate of the singer changes overnight after participating in the "American Idol" talent show, in which she wins. His career outside the show Kelly begins with the release of the single A moment like this . The song reached the fourth place in the hit parade and for a long time was on hearing.

The next stage in the work was cooperation with Christina Aguilera. Kelly sincerely admires the singer's talent and is very grateful to her for working together. The joint efforts in the recording of the single have borne fruit - the Miss Independent several weeks in a row confidently held the lead in the American charts.

Clarkson's debut album achieves amazing results. He becomes platinum in America and Canada, and one of the singles was nominated for a Grammy Award.

Higher and higher

In 2004, Kelly Clarkson took a short pause, but only then to gather strength and release a new album. And if the first disc was pop, then the second singer made it more fatal and driving. When recording the second album, Kelly continued to work with experienced and talented singers. The song Breakaway was recorded with the help of Avril Lavigne and took the confident first place in the hit parade, and also became a soundtrack to the second part of the films about the adventures of the princess with Anne Hethway in the title role. But perhaps, Kelly becomes famous for the whole world thanks to another song from the second album - Because of You .

He was no less successful than the previous two, and was also marked by teamwork with the star of the American musical horizon - the guitarist of the Aerosmith group Joe Perry. The plate became traditionally platinum and for several weeks confidently stormed the tops of the charts. In the same period, Kelly parted with his native American Idol and signed a contract with the producer company Starstruck Entertaiment. After that, the singer released two more albums about which it is possible to say with certainty that each subsequent one is better and more popular than the previous one.
