Kelly Clarkson Musicianship and artistry

her vocal talents and abilities have been met w/ praise from critics and celebrities alike. On an interview w/ Good Morning America, Simon Cowell was asked of the 6 American Idol winners, who Simon thought had the best voice. Cowell immediately answered that Kelly Clarkson did "by a mile", noting that Kelly Clarkson was "up there" with other great singers such as Celine Dion.

Reflecting back on her performance during the Idol Gives Back special, Jeff Beck described hern as having a "soul voice" that "demands attention"."

After attending a rehearsal for American Idol's season 6 finale (in which Kelly Clarkson was scheduled to perform), Blender magazine described her voice as follows:

"The Texas native has one of the great voices in pop music, a powerful and versatile instrument that's steeped in the rhythm and blues and country music she grew up with in the South. If Mariah Carey's five-octave voice is the equivalent of an expensively bred poodle, then Clarkson's is a bloodhound: friendly, earthy, but fierce just the same."

Arion Berger of Rolling Stone has said of Clarkson that "her high notes are sweet and pillowy, her growl is bone-shaking and sxy, and her midrange is amazingly confident for a pop posy whose career is tied for eternity to the whims of her American Idol overlords."

Dr. Luke, a songwriter and producer of some her hits stated that "[Kelly Clarkson] She has powerful lungs. She's like the Lance Armstrong of vocal cords."
