I am a fan of American Idol (its quite entertaining to see some of the talented and not so talented on air) and I did vote for Ms Clarkson during the contest. She does have a powerful voice (remember when she sang "respect"??). I am afraid though, musically speaking, that the strain she puts on her vocal chords by singing SO powerfully will wreck them, ending her career all too soon. Perhaps she should try singing less intensly to break up the strain. Sometimes on TV you can hear the strain she puts on the vocal chords, and it isn't good. Othe than that I think she is pretty good, although I enjoy different types of music than what she sings on her singles and albums.
i know. i'm a bit worried too. back in August when the teen choice awards were on, she performed "low" and she took a breath in the middle of the performance and squeaked. But i have heard she IS getting some lessons on how to have her voice powerful without hurting them. i hope it's working!
