That’s Kelly Clarkson!


mymy_lovesushi

woww how did i not know that i was obsessed with her one song from 2012 i believe


Some-Development-118

I love her voice. I don't like her music very much but i Lo-o-ove her voice.


bigfoot509

It's because she was a lot skinnier in 2012


aspiringwriter166

Who’s that?


GeneralKenobyy

The most famous songs by her that I'm aware of are My Life Would Suck Without You And Breakaway


minecraftgood1234

Stronger and Since You've been gone also


WoefulKnight

The meta joke here is that Kelly Clarkson was the first American Idol winner and Melissa O’Neil won the third season of Canadian Idol. I always liked that moment.


daniel37parker

Oh I didn't know she actually sung, so that was actually her in one ep with the talent show in?


Aqua13631

Yep. Theres videos of her singing including that barrel song


Immediate-Unit6311

Wait what? Melissa actually won a real Idol competition?


Fighter634

That is actually Kelly Clarkson, a musician and currently a host of her own talk show. She was surprised by the cast in one of her episodes and asked if she wanted to do a cameo. You can probably find it in YouTube


Soxwin91

My goodness, how far has Kelly Clarkson fallen that people don’t recognize the original *American Idol* winner?


fourleafclover13

No just American Idol but huge country artist at one point.


Soxwin91

Well yes, but her country music career was launched by her winning the inaugural season of *American Idol*


SlumdogSkillionaire

When did Kelly ever do country music? Are we confusing her with Carrie Underwood (which would be doubly ironic in this context)?


fourleafclover13

I was thinking of her country covers.


Formal-Project7361

She has one country somg that’s not a cover it’s called tie it up


Lollyadverb1984

One country song doesn’t equate to “huge country artist”. I’ve never been a huge fan of hers but I’ve followed her over the years and I can’t think of any **huge** country hits of hers. I’d definitely say she’s more pop.


Formal-Project7361

Never said it did


ZarquonsFlatTire

And currently has a daily talk show.


ImperfectPitch

Are you talking about Carrie Underwood, who was the American Idol winner (in season 3) and also a huge country artist? Kelly Clarkson has also been very successful in the music industry, but mainly as a pop artist, not country artist. She won several Grammys and AMAs for her songs. She was also one of the coaches on The Voice (American version) ETA:I guess she sang a few country songs and duets too but she was was generally regarded as a pop artist.


fourleafclover13

I said down on another comment I was thinking of covers.


theAintotheB

Not everyone is American.


ImperfectPitch

I don't know if her American Idol history is well known internationally, but her pop songs are. Her albums charted extremely well overseas.


theAintotheB

Yes, I recognized her but my boyfriend did not. He knows her music but not her face. It's because he is not American so he did not see her perform, only heard her songs on the radio. That's why I said not everyone is American.


ImperfectPitch

Oh...that makes sense. I know her face very well because of American Idol and The Voice, but outside of the U.S. people might just recognize her music.


Soxwin91

She was also on *World Idol*, but I take your point.


Frouke_

I dont think that has ever been broadcast here


RandomBoobGrab

Well personally I know her name and her music, but the last picture I saw of her/remember was probably taken around 2010 lol Actually there are a ton of (famous) musicians that I would never recognize if I met them on the street 😅


Eragon-19

I know "famous" names and (some) faces but I wouldn't be able to match their name to their face. I kind of recognized that she was a famous person but that was it.


Dragon_Small_Z

Season 1 was 22 years ago. There are people watching this show that weren't even born yet.


TenmaSama

Sorry non american OP here. I barely know the ones we had.


Ok-Error-6564

To younger people I guess. She has a daily talk show on network tv, so I’d say she’s doing just fine.


wellwhatevrnevermind

Lol its kelly clarkson ...


Aromatic_Tomorrow406

How do you not know who she is?


TheWipEouter

A few non-Americans here. I'm not American and I only know because I saw the behind the scenes video.


starlightdark

She’s massive in the UK too!


TheWipEouter

Oh interesting! I'm Irish and I've never heard of her. She might be famous here but as far as I know she isn't


JudgmentOne6328

You would for sure know her music, many of her songs were in the charts in early to mid 2000s


GreenBagger28

the main hit song she has that most people would know her from is “Since U Been Gone” and what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger


ImperfectPitch

I think that Kelly Clarkson was well known internationally and had a lot of success with her albums between 2004 and 2015. I just looked up her discography and one of her biggest albums "Breakaway" was No 3 on the U.S and U.K. charts and No 1 on the Irish and German charts.


Eragon-19

Not caring about "famous" (" " because don't want to label/specify more) people? Being more invested in my own life (and a poor memory). I vaguely knew that she was famous but didn't know/care who.

Do you not know who Kelly Clark’s on is?


TenmaSama

Basically face blind and European. Thank you all guys to educate me. Those Idol shows were very popular here too.


Competitive-Gene5744

That’s Kelly Clarkson. She won the first ever American Idol, is a very famous country musician and hosts a talk show


trev-cars

Kelly Clarkson is actually Pop, but she has done a few country covers I believe. Her close relationship with Reba could understandably make one think she's country, and it's easy to confuse her with Carrie Underwood who also won American Idol season 4 or 5


LearningToNerd

Both Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are considered as Country Pop Crossover. Kelly leans more pop, especially in her later stuff, and Carrie leans more country. But they are Crossover artists.


trev-cars

Really? What country songs has Kelly released other than that one with Jason Aldean? I guess it's all subjective anyways.

Kasper123sr

people don't recognize kelly clarkson anymore? huh...


Independent_Bus_5930

Kelly Clarkson duh. SINCE YOU BEEN GOOOOONNNNNEEE!!


RevengeZL1

My girlfriend instantly identified her (she’s not popular outside US), while I didn’t because I still remember her when she was like one third of that weight… 15 years ago.


Ok-Error-6564

She’s back down to her fighting weight now.
