What Made Kelly Clarkson’s 2005 One of the Most Unforgettable Pop Star Years of the 2000s?
The Greatest Pop Stars podcast episode looks at 2005 Kelly Clarkson, one of the greatest pop star years of the 2000s.
But in 2005, she officially made her breakaway from Idol, and introduced herself as the leading pop-rock superstar of the mid-’10s — with huge hit singles, a signature VMAs performance, and even an unwitting cameo in the year’s biggest film comedy moment. Host Andrew Unterberger is joined by renowned YouTube pop commentator(and co-host of the Song vs. Song podcast) Todd in the Shadows to remember Clarkson’s mid-’00s peak, and how she was able to have such a huge impact on a hip-hop-dominated era as a pop star who out-rocked a lot of the rock stars. We also hit on Kelly’s triumphant turn at the 2005 VMAs, and her unforgettable cameo (by name only) in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and what made her name the perfect fit for that specific gag.
