Kelly Clarkson

More often than not, the end goal is just as valuable as the journey it took to get to it. For Kelly Clarkson’s case, it’s safe to say her rise to celebrity stardom was more than worth it. During her earlier years as an aspiring singer, Kelly worked a variety of jobs to turn her dreams into a reality. At that point, due to a few other hurdles, she was also forced to live in her car, though that surely didn’t stop her, even for a second.

Kelly’s hard work finally paid off when she got the chance to compete in American Idol, where she showcased her natural singing talent to millions of viewers. After winning the talent show program, she released her debut single, A Moment Like This, to even greater success. Since then, besides releasing Grammy-winning and chart-topping albums and records, Kelly now has a coaching credit in another world-famous talent show program, The Voice.
