Simon Cowell reminisces about Kelly Clarkson's season of 'American Idol': 'There was the moment when you sang 'Respect'...We all looked at each other and it was like, 'Oh. My. God.''
was supposed to get her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2021. But when COVID delayed those plans, the ceremony was pushed to this month, which brings a little serendipity to this moment: September 2022 marks the 20th anniversary of Clarkson’s win on the very first edition of “American Idol.”
Also set to be in attendance: original “Idol” judge Simon Cowell. In 2018, Clarkson presented Cowell with his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and four years later, Cowell will return the favor at Clarkson’s ceremony. It’s the passing of the baton for the unlikely duo — a hard-nosed Brit and a sunny Texas girl — who have known each other since Cowell helped discover Clarkson as that first American Idol.
Cowell recalls working with the singer in 2003 on her first album, certified double platinum in the U.S., and marveling at how the then 20-year-old already had a command of her voice and image. “I don’t think anybody at the label really was prepared for how successful she was going to be — maybe apart from Kelly,” Cowell says.
Cowell, the creator of the global “Got Talent” format, wishes he had nabbed her first. “I mean, thanks for doing the opposition show, Kelly,” Cowell says with a laugh.“First of all, I never thought she would want to do something like this,” he says. “And then, at the point when she had chosen to do ‘The Voice,’ I was kind of thinking, ‘Shit, we probably should have called her.’”
