I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...Kelly is one of the most interesting, not to mention facinating singers out there today. Not because she won American Idol. In fact when "I" became a fan - I had no idea she was the first American Idol. I found that out afterwards. Instead I heard the catch phase from her title hit "Since you been gone" on a TV commerical... I've been hooked every since. What I like about her... Kelly is as real of person as anyone I've met. She has remained true to herself despite the success, the money and fame. That in itself speaks out about her character as a person and I can only hope I would react the same way if "fame" would have found me.
Since then I've seen Kelly on American Idol Rewind... and it wasn't difficult to see why she was the one who won. No one else came close to her talent. What impressed me the most on the rewind show was "Stuff like that there". She BLEW away every other contestant with that performance!!! She nailed the time frame... the attitude... the vocals... and it was there when she became America's sweetheart.
That's how I see her - America's sweetheart.. XOXOXO to Kelly !! 
Missed it, but saw it online
