COMPLIMENTS
What other celebs says...

I knew from the first episode that Kelly was the best one on there...she had it from the beginning...I like that she doesn't look like she's trying too hard ... her pitch is always on..."
--Natalie Maines

"I love her soul, the texture of her voice. She can give you chills. My favourite."
--Tiffany

face="Verdana">"I love Kelly. She just seems like a sweet girl, but then she just sings the shit out of those songs. Everybody's loving Justin, but I don't like him. I think he's phoney and too wimpy."
--Kathy Griffin

"She has a voice that is truly God given. She is comfortable in her own skin...and never misses a note. She is a bright light onstage....a natural. Her voice is both rich and crystal clear at the same time. I would be thrilled if she won the whole thing...I think it would be fun watching her career grow."
--Debbie Gibson

"I LOVE this girl. Her appearance is natural and understated and then.... she opens her mouth and that VOICE comes out. WOW!!! Where did that voice come from?!? It is an effortless sound she produces which allows the audience to sit back, relax, and be taken for a ride. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders."
--Debbie Gibson

"Kelly's voice is so natural and effortless, you are never afraid she is not going to hit her notes. You can sit back and relax and put yourself in her hands. That is an amazing quality to have for a performer...she has what it takes to be a pop star."
--Debbie Gibson

"I hope Kelly Clarkson wins. She's so talented; she's fabulous."
--Rose McGowan

"Kelly Clarkson is my favourite, she's got the real booming Patsy Kline-type of voice."
--Rose McGowan

"Kelly is awesome. She's just so strong and she performs well. At this point, they are all good, but she's my favourite."
--Shannon Elizabeth

quot;Kelly all the way...Kelly represents everything that's good in this country. And dammit, you can quote me on that!"
--Lindsay Sloane

"I got to tell you...Kelly's my girl. I am sorry but that woman can do anything, she is so naturally talented."
--Debra Messing

"I now believe that Kelly Clarkson has the best voice of any woman out there today...Christina Aguilera has an amazing voice, but Kelly can do everything she can do, but sound even richer. Kelly Clarkson is the Merlot to everyone's Coke."
--Lori from MTV's Real World

"Kelly will win this competition. Every time she sang, I got goose bumps."
--Rupaul

"I'm rooting for Kelly, she reminds me of Janis Joplin, a little white girl with a voice you just wouldn't expect."
--Jesse Bradford

"She's got the power and she could sing softly too. And I think she's got a great shot... a great chance. So...hopefully, Kelly will stop the show".
--Burt Bacharach

...a traditional and solid voice. She could be an artist if given the right material...She could be a pop artist and she could go a little country and she could do a little rock".
--Craig Marks

My wife and I both have a crush on Kelly Clarkson. Go, Kelly!"
--Wayne Brady

We get yet another powerful performance from Kelly. She's completely in command of her voice and notes. I'm tired of people saying Kelly will just be a country singer. Why limit her? There's no style of music she can't handle."
--Jaded Journalist

"Whoa! She's awesome."
--Danny Wood

"The only one I'd give an A to all around. She hit vocal licks no one else hit."
--Andy Griggs

"A stone star. She sounds like she's been singing professionally for years."
--David Cassidy

"Kelly was by far the class of the competition. Poor Nikki was just trying to get by, while Justin focused on working the crowd — or, more precisely, the cameras. Only Kelly connected with the songs, and only Kelly gave you chills. For one moment, it was possible to forget you were at Idol and imagine you were at
a Kelly Clarkson concert."
--USA Today

"Her voice floored me."
--Mariah Carey

"Kelly has the most talent of anyone I've ever seen in my whole life,"
--Nikki McKibbin

"It is NOT HER FAULT. She earned her place here. She is great, and we are good, good friends and fellow Texans. We are in each others' corner. Hey, if I'm not gonna win it, there is nobody more deserving..."
--Nikki McKibbin

"She's the best vocallist there...She's amazing."
--Christina Christian

"She's an amazing performer, an amazing person, and I love hearing her sing. Out of every person here - and this is the honest truth - she is the one I could be interested in hearing sing over and over and over; that's how much I love to hear her sing."
--RJ Helton
