 Ryan Seacrest was there. Randy, Simon, Paula - the trio who quickly became household names - were there as well. And now, almost eight years after her arrival onto the mainstream music stage, you too, can be there... witnessing the original Idol and now pop-Queen KELLY CLARKSON, tear up the stage at Vector Arena for one show only on April 11th. Touring in support of her fourth studio release ‘All I Ever Wanted’, Kelly Clarkson is no stranger to the stage. Hell, she did WIN a competition which forced her to sing in front of millions of people, week after week... If she can’t sing, then I don’t know who can. Becoming the most successful Idol winner to date - and one of the most successful female artists of our time - her albums have sold upwards of 20 million copies worldwide. Her second album - and arguably her most popular - 'Breakaway' spent 52 weeks in the top ten (yes, that is a whole year) and went 6x platinum. It was this album that earned Clarkson her two Grammy Awards; one for “Best Female Pop Vocal Performance” and one for “Best Pop Vocal Album.”  Fans can expect to hear a range of tracks from her entire catalogue on this tour, with Clarkson promising to play all her hits - including that sing-a-long anthem we all know and love, 'Since U Been Gone' – as well as some surprises along the way, which may or may not include covers by bands like The White Stripes and Kings of Leon. Unlike many artists at the forefront of the music world, Kelly Clarkson is trained for the live setting, and therefore practically guarantees a night to remember. With support from US singer-songwriter Eric Hutchinson, this is one show not to be missed! Warm those vocal chords up, get your girls together, and sing your heart out with Kelly Clarkson. Tickets are on sale now from www.ticketmaster.co.nz - don't delay, your life will suck if you miss this!
