This is a clip of Kelly Clarkson singing Natural Woman on Season 1 of American Idol. There is some great footage of Kelly as a contractor. It's fun to see her, before she was big.

This video features Phil Stacey singing live on American Idol Season 6. He does the song the Change by Garth Brooks. Phil made it into the top six. This is a great performance by Phil.

This video features Taylor Hicks performing live on American Idol. He sings John Denver's Country Roads. I don't think it's one of Taylor's best performance. I think it's the song mostly that is weak. Taylor Hicks has sounded way more confident on other songs.

This video clip features Blake Lewis live on American Idol. Singing Jon Bon Jovi's You Give Love a Bad Name. He does the record intro the beatboxing during the song. Pretty good performance by Blake.

This video features Kelly Clarkson singing Never Again live on American Idol. This performance was recorded during the American Idol Season 5 Finale.

I found this funny little video clip which features the Simpsons as the judges and Simon Cowell as the singer. Pretty funny.

Kelly Clarkson is on the cover of both Self and Blender this month. In the articles she talks about her battle with Clive Davis, the struggles involved with getting "My December" out as well as other things. They are both great articles and I think they both offer a lot of insight into the fued with Clive, her writing process and just her life in general. There are a lot of different rumors about Kelly out there right now, so I reccomend picking up these magazines and finding out what really happened between Kelly Clarkson and Clive Davis!
