Few singers can match Kelly Clarkson’s ability to bring depth of emotion and genuine passion to a song. Her grace and elegance on stage match her incredible musical talent.

When she takes the microphone, she commands the entire room. It’s just amazing to observe how she can command a crowd to stand by using the power of her voice.

Her performance on the American Idol stage in 2016 attracted all of the judges, but Keith Urban’s response drew everyone’s attention.

Kelly Clarkson was instantly recognized when she made her American Idol debut in the first season in 2002, more than 12 years ago.

She was a modest 20-year-old cocktail waitress from Texas with an ambition to sing, according to History.com.

And, thanks to Clarkson’s brilliance, she was able to become the first American Idol victor. The victory improved the teen singer’s career and landed her a recording contract.

Clarkson has now launched her own television show, sold millions of albums, and won countless awards.In 2016, she returned to the show for the season to perform one of her original compositions.

She charmed the entire audience from the moment she stepped onto the platform, eight months pregnant with Remington Blackstock.

Clarkson’s voice will captivate anyone who hears it. The crowd became thrilled as they waited for her famous voice to be heard.

Keith Urban, one of the contest’s judges, sobbed as Clarkson sang her touching song.His expression and full admiration of her singing reflected the emotions he was feeling. Clarkson pieced together her song based on her own life experiences.

Clarkson is not only the first American Idol, but also a terrific vocalist, according to Urban. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Urban hailed Clarkson, who served as a guest judge for that season of the singing competition, as ‘really authentic.’

She doesn’t have two unique personas. She is the person she is. And just being around it and seeing it is energizing.

Clarkson and Greg Kurstin wrote the song together. It was clear that the song was not only based on her experiences, but was also extremely personal to Clarkson and filled with raw passion.

Clarkson came up with the song idea while talking to her sister, according to Huff Post. The song contrasted their father’s abandonment of Clarkson and her family when she was six years old following their mother’s divorce, with the women’s talk of how supportive their husbands are to them.

Clarkson’s marriage to her ex-husband Brandon Blakcstock ‘restored trust that a man may be nice and a father may stay,’ according to the song’s lyrics.

Clarkson startled both the judges and the crowd when, just minutes into her performance, she became overcome with emotion while singing the tremendously touching lyrics, fighting back tears.

She paused short before finishing the song as she demonstrated absolutely genuine emotion, which is uncommon in onstage performances for music superstars like Clarkson.

Clarkson is recognized for the incredible and nearly instant link she establishes with audiences that hear her sing live, and the intensity and passion she puts into every performance resonate extremely profoundly with her fans.

The audience reacted similarly to Urban’s performance. Kelly is a multidimensional American Idol contestant.

‘This is one of them,’ one observer said. Kelly’s performance required only a piano accompaniment, which allowed the listener to feel every line she sang.

Her stage presence was there throughout the song, and her facial expressions contributed to the drama.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
Urban went on to express his gratitude for the opportunity to see Clarkson play.

‘The compassion at that time was just… well, apart from her tremendous skill as a vocalist and the song and performance, you never see that.’ ‘Let alone on television,’ he continued.
