Kelly Clarkson won the first season of American Idol in 2002, released her chart-topping single “A Moment Like This” the same year, and instantly became a music megastar. Kelly talks to Guy about the hardships of her early life, and how they helped motivate her towards success, the personal story of heartbreak while making her latest album “Chemistry”, hosting her award-winning TV talk show, and how her busy production schedule keeps her creativity flowing. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Kelly's conversation with Guy was recorded before the announcement of the SAG-AFTRA strike.)
