you can tell she feels bad when they all say that they think Kelly will win. She's just like, hey he's great too, why are you asking this stupid question!
Carrie is good. But country music is local. Mainly North America. Kelly is a worldwide pop star. Plus theres something about being the original. Not to mention kelly could sing circles around carrie in ANY genre of music.
Nah the winner in these shows doesn't usually matter... all the time people who didn't get to the end wind up getting noticed because of the show and get signed anyway.
@ Caz P Nobody is happy to lose...that is why not showing that and congratulating the winner as sincere as you can be is called being gracious. And that is exactly what he did.
He was always so supportive of her though. It was sweet. I honestly thought they had a romantic connection but I dont think anything ever come of it if they did
I can’t believe this was 19 years ago. I was only 8 but trust me, EVERYONE was watching this show. I remember that final moment was so nerve-wracking to watch! Justin was such a class act and talented singer. Kelly Clarkson was the best winner from all the seasons. Everyone loved her and she was just incredible. She was truly America’s idol!
Facts everyone was yo, hella people used to go on the show and just bomb a lot of times 😂😂 and Simon would let them have it but yeah Kelly is still relevant to this day and her music career was great
@sissibee91~~Balled my eyes out that night~~I knew Kelly was gonna win from day 1 and I knew she would go right to the big time~~I'm always right~~lol~~💖💖💖
i love how she has been one of the few idols to actually stick around, and not turn into one of those "where are the now?" people. she is amazing! love her !! :)
She used to sing the national anthem a lot at the high school ball games. She was sweet to everyone. She used to hook me up with a ball so i could take it to the smaller gym while the volleyball game went on in the main gym. I was only about 7 or 8 years old and then when i was 12 seeing her on this show was just unreal! If i ever get a chance to run into her, I’ll get her to sign her year book lol
Omg at 4:51, the way she screamed was sooooo CUTE!!! Gotta love her cute personality. Kelly is a ball of sunshine and I’m so happy for her and Justin that they were so supportive of one another!
It's amazing how sincerely Justin said "no one deserves it more than this woman right here". Only a great person is able to do so after losing. Still, the better one won. ;) Kelly is a super super superstar, and no one can deny that.
I love how supportive Justin was of her! He was so excited for her when she won! It's so wonderful how he wasn't so upset about losing when he knew he made it to the top 2 which is more than anyone could've asked for and he was just so happy for Kelly! I love it! What an amazing man and of course, my girl, Kelly, she rightfully deserved this moment! You go, girl!
I just remember her mom's face from watching this back than. That's the thing that sticks out for me. She just keeps wiping her eyes while she sings the song for the winner. A moment like this.
Omg, when they announced it was so obvious, he said something like "yes, baby, yes" that's so cute, even though he didn't won he got so excited for her
I never watched, but Kelly has such a tremendous voice! I love watching her sing every day-especially when she sang with Pink on her show. It was incredible!
Come on! This was one of the most iconic and biggest moments in TV history. They both were so amazing and the decision was so split with the fanbase. I remember being with my friends watching this and 3 of us were for Kelly and 3 for Justin but when Kelly won we all started screaming and crying because we just were excited to finally see the winner because we felt like we waited so long. I will never forget this moment and grateful to have had this experience.
Without a Doubt this was Tv & Music History !! It’s been 22 years since Kelly Clarkson was crowned the Very 1st American Idol and has gone on to be one of the Greatest Music Stars in Pop music History of the 2000s& 2010s . She now has her own successful Daytime Talk Show. And is a continued success in 2024. A highly Respected and loved music Star still recording and winning Grammy Award as well as others . Kelly Clarkson a True success story at age 19 in 2002. ❤❤😊😊🎉🎉
I’m British so I was in Florida at the time on holiday and I was able to watch this live(?) when Kelly won. Watching this again now, I honestly can’t remember this footage lol but I do remember hearing Kelly’s voice for the first time on the Idol finale and being HOOKED. She’s amazing.
Went from homeless to winning first season of American Idol God is really good. Won Grammys to singing at National anthems. So talented. Kelly Clarkson is so talented and sold many songs and had so many hits throughout the years.
Kelly was so young & beautiful with so much talent! She made it big, but got hurt by her husband as Reba did by his father! We love both wonderful women & hope Kelly finds a true love to him with the success of her TV show & all her warm personality & humor!🙏🏼💕🤗
It baffled my mind on the first live show (30 contestants left, grouped into 10 singers) when the judges didn't pick her to go through AT ALL but America had her as the second pick (after Justin). This was America's response to "Respect". My response to it was jumping up and down in front of the TV like a lunatic...
We've gotten other great singers from American Idol (Phillip Phillips is one of my favorite singers of all time) but none have had a more profound impact on American music than Kelly Clarkson. She's a legend.
Here after watching the American Idol Reunion, was hoping to see Kelly there. This brings back many great memories, my grandma really liked her and loved her music. Years later she’s still amazing, making great music and has her own show and makes some really good Christmas music as well.
She’s pretty comfortable over at NBC lol so idk if she would come back to ABC’s American Idol but you never know. She returned for the last season of the Fox version which was supposed to be the final season before ABC swooped in lol
Justin is being such a good sport to her:) and i love how happy he is for her in this:) only another winner can do that with her even and compliment her too thru him on stage even :) i cant believe this was over 20 years ago even!
Kelly is absolutely amazing! 12 years later ,,,,, still THE BEST!!! She has such an awesome personality. EVERYONE ❤LOVES HER!!! On top of all that ,,,,,, WHAT 💘 TALENT!!!!! A MARVELOUS, WONDERFUL VOICE!!!! 💋
That girl needs to make drop dead amazing albums, be a coach for The Voice, make a great host for the Billboard Music Awards, record a magical song called Take You High, be in a movie called Uglydolls and make her own TV show.
It was a well-deserved win back then and Kelly is still a strong force in the music industry. Justin is just such a gentleman and a gracious person. His talent is undeniable and I am sure he felt blessed to have this experience. Wonderful young people. I watched it and enjoyed it when it first aired.
Adam Lambert! An amazing voice. He didn't win but his voice is known all over the world. And being the front man for Queen, on top of his world tours. How much better could it be?
My left ear enjoyed this very much!
I thought my earphones were acting up lmaoo
+Diana Pineda lmao I removed my left earphone twice just to check
literally was beating my headphones to death then I saw this comment
+Diana Pineda Ikr
Same
I LOVE HOW JUSTIN IS SO AMAZINGLY HAPPY AND EXCITED THAT KELLY WON. THAT IS THE MOST SELFLESS THING I HAVE EVER SEEN OMG AWWW
Agreed
I think he was relived he didn’t win because he knew Kelly deserved it, but man he’s a classy dude, that was genuine happiness!
Because that's what you're expected to do, if he acted like he really felt, then he'd be blasted for being a sore loser.
He is just acting! He thought he was the one who was winning! He was absolutly trying to patronise Kelly clarckson! With no Luck 😉
No he was actually happy she won and he said he didn’t want to win bc he wasn’t ready for it.
you can tell she feels bad when they all say that they think Kelly will win. She's just like, hey he's great too, why are you asking this stupid question!
Mattie Harris that's not a very nice word
Mattie Harris that's not a very nice word
Nicole Marsden lol grow up
Mattie Harris agreed
no she was upset because if she won she had to do the movie and she didnt want to do it
Kelly was so beautiful then and Now she is still beautiful ❤ so happy for you Kelly ❤
Justin was so nice when he didn't win!
they were so close!!
Yeah he was nice and is sooooo goooood
Chloe Presley he was!
Chloe Presley he was
He knew Kelly should win and was so happy he didn’t. Justin seems like a great dude.
I feel bad for Justin because I have never ever heard of him.
Diana Fader u know Kelly Clarkson really well! I know I do!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Whaaaat, have you never seen the Iconic movie 'From Justin to Kelly?' lol
JP Thank you for reminding me. Wow.
justin is actually from my hometown!! such an amazing guy and does a lot with the districts music programs. :))
This was when people were winning because of the music and not because of the face.
or the body
preach
or ass
Because there was no HD.
When Simon was tougher
Justin was such a good sport what a humble man.
He looks so genuinely happy for her. He seems like a great guy to have as a friend.
13 years and she still the best
No one ever topped Kelly internationally. Even in 2017 people are still asking about her next album.
Bella Nicaraguense Carrie Underwood and I disagree, but she's still awesome.
Nah, Carrie Underwood.
she and carrie!!!
Carrie is good. But country music is local. Mainly North America. Kelly is a worldwide pop star. Plus theres something about being the original. Not to mention kelly could sing circles around carrie in ANY genre of music.
This is when the show was amazing.
What's different now?
Agree
i remember watching this finale and just being touched that Justin was as excited as Kelly was when they announced her as the winner
Bakubabe29 he is such a pure heart person
Justin was hoping that Kelly would win he even said she deserves it more he's so sweet
The other guy is a class act. Just lost the chance of a lifetime and still was a stand up guy. Much respect.
he actually did so well after this show too.
Nah the winner in these shows doesn't usually matter... all the time people who didn't get to the end wind up getting noticed because of the show and get signed anyway.
@@jerseymatt848 these two are a exception. loads of contestants don't make it past a 2nd or 3rd rounds have incredible careers like broadway
Notice nobody has cell phones in their hands trying to Snapchat or take selfies lol nothing but applauses, tears, smiles, and tissues!
Evelyn Elliott so true ,2019 : we've become robots 😕
It’s 2002 tho, so cell phones weren’t as popular or advanced. :p
You won't ever see one on a live recording. Lol
Evelyn Elliott no shit they didn’t exist yet
Of course it’s 2002. iPhones weren’t around yet until 2007.
what an amazingly gracious runner up!
+BRK A Fake BS He admitted later that he wasn't sincere.
where?
+Caz P Liar !!!
@ Caz P Nobody is happy to lose...that is why not showing that and congratulating the winner as sincere as you can be is called being gracious. And that is exactly what he did.
BRK A forgive me for asking but who is the other contestant?
Justin was such a beautiful and humble man. He is awesome!
I feel bad for the other guy. I don't know how I would've felt that everyone chose the opposing person.
Yes he had the teen buck voting for him smh
@Davy Lau that’s a massive difference lol
That’s life
He was always so supportive of her though. It was sweet. I honestly thought they had a romantic connection but I dont think anything ever come of it if they did
He could have had everything Kelly has now
She really deserves the success she has today. 20 years later, she is still the same humble and down to earth girl.
It's been exactly 21 years today!
Justin took placing second so gracefully.
I can’t believe this was 19 years ago. I was only 8 but trust me, EVERYONE was watching this show. I remember that final moment was so nerve-wracking to watch! Justin was such a class act and talented singer. Kelly Clarkson was the best winner from all the seasons. Everyone loved her and she was just incredible. She was truly America’s idol!
My American Idol!!!
i Was watching
Facts everyone was yo, hella people used to go on the show and just bomb a lot of times 😂😂 and Simon would let them have it but yeah Kelly is still relevant to this day and her music career was great
Unforgettable moment.
Justin shows what class really is. He's genuinely happy for Kelly & no doubt excited for both of their futures. Great night.
@sissibee91~~Balled my eyes out that night~~I knew Kelly was gonna win from day 1 and I knew she would go right to the big time~~I'm always right~~lol~~💖💖💖
Kelly: "Simon said, if it were his vote, you'd be the American Idol."
Justin: "Simon said, you did great."
Hahahahahaha now I feel bad for Justin xD
I literally cried
E J hes doing quite well in life
he is such a good sport
And a Moment Like That, changed her life forever!!
Despite all the crap that Kelly has endured, she's still incredibly amazing today.
And look at where she is now.
*regan.marie* She’s so successful omg legend
@@CharityRivers not so skinny legend!!
She is happily married now and has children. And finally has her own talk show.
Cole skinniness isn't everything, god.
@@cole8375 and your an ass!!
what an unbelievably beautiful humble spirit by my girl Kelly
i love how she has been one of the few idols to actually stick around, and not turn into one of those "where are the now?" people. she is amazing! love her !! :)
Aw, he said "yes baby" when she won. Love this ❤
The chills.
I just got them!!
Best American Idol ever!
Hands Down 💯%
I love how he was still nice to her. And keeps calling her ‘baby’ it was so nice of him
looking at her now. It's crazy where she has come. A coach on the voice, one of the most successful singers and a host of her own talk shower 🥺🤍.
Talk shower lol
She used to sing the national anthem a lot at the high school ball games. She was sweet to everyone. She used to hook me up with a ball so i could take it to the smaller gym while the volleyball game went on in the main gym.

and then one of the greatest movies to ever happen, happened. From Justin to Kelly
mariah dominguez That's adorable and all but
... You need to view some more films sweetie
agreed. truly a masterpiece
Sarcasm?
The most gracious concession speech ever.
No ego. Genuine happiness for the winner.
A true comrade.
Justin knew it was gonna be Kelly the whole time but I love how supportive he was!
Is it me or when they announced the winner justin mouthed yes baby yes.
Nice Superwoman he did for sure
They were dating at that point so he legitimately meant that
Ya lol.
Ikr
He probably thought that it meant that he wouldn't have to do the movie afterwards.
Omg at 4:51, the way she screamed was sooooo CUTE!!! Gotta love her cute personality. Kelly is a ball of sunshine and I’m so happy for her and Justin that they were so supportive of one another!
It's amazing how sincerely Justin said "no one deserves it more than this woman right here". Only a great person is able to do so after losing.
Still, the better one won. ;) Kelly is a super super superstar, and no one can deny that.
The other contestant was also very nice,good n humble.

It's so wonderful how he wasn't so upset about losing when he knew he made it to the top 2 which is more than anyone could've asked for and he was just so happy for Kelly! I love it! What an amazing man and of course, my girl, Kelly, she rightfully deserved this moment! You go, girl!
I just remember her mom's face from watching this back than. That's the thing that sticks out for me. She just keeps wiping her eyes while she sings the song for the winner. A moment like this.
I just thought i would skip back in time 18 years and remember when Kelly got her big break ...
Me too!😁
The world would be so different if she wouldn't have one. I love Kelly!
Do you mean ...if she wouldn't have WON?
officeaddict33 hahahah 😂😂😂
Watch Kelly often - extremely versatile and wonderful
Love Justin. He was so sweet and supportive. This was the only season of American Idol I watched.
Throwback in 2002 at the age of 20 years old Kelly Clarkson wins american idol long time ago and happy 38th birthday Kelly Clarkson 🎂🎊🎉
They would make a nice couple Kelly and Justin lol
they dated ... and were a secret couple.
Omg, when they announced it was so obvious, he said something like "yes, baby, yes" that's so cute, even though he didn't won he got so excited for her
kustin
18 years ago today! Can’t believe it! 💙
I loved that he was genuinely happy for her the first season was everything
Still watching this ❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. July 21, 2020.
Her voice was steller then but now?? It's unbelievable!!!
I voted for her like 200 times LOL. I was so glad that she won. That was justice!
I keep coming back to this. Who's watching in 2017?
Me neighter in 2019 😉
I never watched, but Kelly has such a tremendous voice! I love watching her sing every day-especially when she sang with Pink on her show. It was incredible!

+Tina Williams They did for a song for their 2003 film "From Justin to Kelly". The song was called "Timeless"

The greatest moment in American Idol history! I could watch this a thousand times over and still be just as excited as the day this happened.
