American Idol Season 1 - Winner

[1cali1girl]

that was when it was ACTUALLY up to the people to vote on their favorite

[shoppinlover15]

definitely the best...i hate how it's rigged now!!!

[HerAdorexyBaby]

she was my favorite then and still is :)

[pabs619sd]

American Idol went down hill after Kelly.. She is truly best all around.

[mickeydancems]

loved her from her audition piece.. will love her until she puts down that microphone.. hopefully that wont be for a loooong time

[xxcarloxxcoponxx]

the best idol :) for me ..

[brook3838]

waiit that wass the very firstt season!!! wooww greatt voice!! love love love herr <3

[klewis9995]

american idol winners from best to worst 1.kelly 2.carrie 3.jordin 4.kris 5.david 6.lee 7.fantasia 8.ruben 9.taylor i'm hoping lauren wins this year

[dreman1970]

@klewis9995 First three I agree with...except I'd flip flop Carrie and Kelly...Kris 4th?? He shouldn't have beaten Adam....Heck he wasn't better than Danny Gokey...I'd put David ahead of Kris...even though based on the finale he should have lost too....The other six (including Scotty) you can arrange them any way....Scotty winning this year was a joke..NO WAY was he even CLOSE to the best singer...And he didn't have a lot of stage presence either. Damn good country singer though.

[terka96]

I love her most from all American Idols :D 

[jetserb]

Did she win?

[Smittie4m707]

@jetserb hence the title of the video American Idol Season 1 - "WINNER"

[greg3530]

@jetserb yes she did win

[Neoeternauta]

Impossible not to cry watching this

[u2b9876]

No matter how many times I watch this, I still get goose bumps.

[joannadreamer]

I saw her this time last year, in London, and she is still just as amazingly talented :)

[PepperHyprShannon]

GO KELLY CLARKSON!!! (i have this song on thankful, but i like this version better! u can feel her exitment when she is just squeking from excitment!)

[ivanbs92]

la mejor!

[MsAlyMorton]

@ivanbs92 Estoy de acuerdo

[ShakiraElizabeth]

Thats intense.

[dcoffeegirl]

I LISTEN TO KELLY CLARKSON ALL DAY. GREAT ARTIST. WHEN AMERICAN MUSIC WILL BE WRITTEN FOR THIS GENERATION.SHE WILL BE HIGHLY REGARDED AS ONE OF THE GREATS.I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

[ooamaimomooo]

Ahh, back when American Idol was a small, humble show. The first season had one of the best singers of all the seasons. I think the only one who beat her in sales is Carrie. But wow. She's so good. c:

[clpnyc2]

@ooamaimomooo Carrie has waaay past Kelly in everything except album sales outside the U.S. Carrie 3cd's (Play On has been out for 9months) has out sold Kellys 4cd's (All I Ever Wanted has been out 14 months). I'm afraid that kelly is losing her vocal strength that she used to have.

[u2b9876]

@clpnyc2 Do you live in Nashville?

[clpnyc2]

@u2b9876 No. This summer I hope to be there. I used to live in Memphis for a short time.

[celmnc]

i can watch this video everyday and it still gives me chills.. right when the sparks fall and everyone stands up.. so priceless!

[blackarrow02]

hehe, wow, i never thought american idol was like this before... hehe, good thing they fixed it, now its more better :) haha..[i was talking about the stage,lights etc..etc..] anddd, is ryan seacrest the host since season 1 till present?

[edgygirl1]

I'd probably be exactly like that if I were up there. I bet it's so hard to sing that.

[jeshubravo]

the bestttttttttttttttttttttttt

[Dodgerfn5]

You know what's so crazy? I didn't even realize it was Kelly who did this. She is simply a magnificent singer and bubbly too.

[maoJun100]

just adam lambert

[GooberPlan]

I'm glad Brian Dunkleman quit, he would of ruined the show.

[jueland94]

I am from Norway and Kelly is the only one we have heard of.

[readingnovelera]

kelly and carrie are the best idols ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!jordin sparks is pretty good too

[ducky811]

1000 times AMEN to that!!!!

[TheLadydance54]

out of all the contestants on american idol, kelly clarkson has become the biggest star n 1 of my fav singers

go kelly

luv this song

[tlr12345]

Nah daughtry has her beat

[TheLadydance54]

@tlr12345, i was sayin that kelly is one of the biggest stars from american idol

the biggest stars r daughtry, kelly clarkson, jennifer hudson, carrie underwood, jordin sparks, and adam lambert

[tlr12345]

okay just making sure. But out of all of them daughtry is the biggest star. Adam aint a star yet

[BobBarkersLoveChild]

@tlr12345 might wanna look at worldwide sales there bub

[inspireradavstatyer]

Best winner song to date

[mizzsweets87]

Kelly Clarkson followed by Carrie Underwood are my faveorite american idols. And i'm still a 100% Kelly clarkson fan.

[itisMeC]

I love Kelly and she so deserved to win but I love Carrie underwood's voice more. still the best and most memorable winners in my opinion.

[morticiamelissa]

@itisMeC I agree

[SweetPollito]

in what year was this??

she seems very different

[itisMeC]

I think it was 2002

[tijuana43]

this was in my opinion the best AI finale ever!!

it was full of excitement and tears.........and they gave us KELLY CLARKSON!!!

[MissPopPrincess97]

kkpjideomakes:

Shut the hell up im sure shes alot beta than you so grow up

[mr0something]

what is her name?

[DrAcOmAlFoY911]

why don't you shut up, smart ass? if you don't like american idol then fine, nobody gives a shit. but why do you have to be so rude about it? and more, why do you have to be homophobic about it?

[ilaughucry]

she's was clearly crying a little but she held her voice out really well

[TheWorstComputerEver]

i feel so old watching this

[kkpjvideomakes]

wwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1­
