Kelly Clarkson was born in Fort Worth, Texas and grew up in the small town of Burleson, Texas, a suburb of Fort Worth. Before she becomes a singer, her ambition is to become a Marine biologist. Kelly Clarkson's talent of singing was found by leader of the chorus in her school, so she started to have classical training. In high school, she spent most of the time on singing and she joined the choir of Texas. However, no record company wants to hire her. She decided to go to Los Angeles to take a chance.
In Los Angeles, she joined a famous musician Gerry Goffin's work. Unlucky, because Gerry Goffin was sick, she lost her chance again; this is not the worst. Before long, her house was burned. These things made her extremely depressed. Finally, by her friend-Jessica's encourage, Kelly joined American Idol competition and won the champion. At a later time, her career became very successful. Her first album "Thankful" was published in 2003. In 2006, she won 2 big prices-"Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" and "Best Pop Vocal Album".
