In 2004, Kelly Clarkson became the first Team Youth Celebrity Ambassador for the March of Dimes. [www.marchofdimes.com/youth]

Kelly continues to support the March of Dimes mission to ensure all babies are born healthy.

[edit] kellys jobs growing up

  • she worked at Fastaco a restraunt in jasua texas
  • please list any others here and post —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Royissick (talkcontribs) 17:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC).
  • She worked at a Zoo in Forth Worth, Texas. She sold Kirby Vaccums and also worked for a long time in a movie theatre in Burleson, Texas. All of this was according to her "Behind Hazel Eyes" DVD in which her friends commented on her previous jobs, and Kelly also commented on working in the Zoo. There were others but I would need to watch the DVD again.

[edit] Newer?

Can we get a newer picture of Kelly?(Trampton 11:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)).

[edit] Genres

Dance-Pop???, Contemporary Ballad???. What happened to just Pop and Pop/Rock. That was better.

[edit] Label(s)

Why are there so many labels listed in the infobox. Shouldn't it just be RCA? - Maria202 21:43, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Who keeps on changing the labels? Her labels are RCA/Sony BMG Music Entertainment. S Records and 19 Entertainment were her old labels.

No sources are given whenever the labels are changed. Acalamari 01:46, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm horrible with computer stuff so no idea where to 'give the source', so I'll just put it here. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=30712181 That's Kelly's official myspace and if you look at the General Info the labels are 'RCA-Sony BMG'. FufuTofu 01:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I could put the source in for you, but I don't think that MySpace is an appropriate source. Can you find a better one than that? Acalamari 02:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Well here's the RCARecords site: http://www.rcarecords.com/ It's one of those weird one's where it always has the same site even though it's a different page so you have to go to the "Artists". Also at the bottom of the page it says "RCA Records, a unit of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT". Finally, if you go to the "Artists" and to Kelly Clarkson, they have a link to her myspace which says her lable is RCA-Sony BMG. I don't know if that site works either but.. ya. FufuTofu 17:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I do wish these wouldn't link to MySpace. All right; I'll take a look at that page soon and see if it's an appropriate source. :) Acalamari 18:31, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

19 was never her label, they were her management until January, 2005, then she signed with TheFirm. her label has always been RCA in the US, and SonyBMG everywhere else (RCA being part of the Sony music group). Confirmation for that can be found simply by resourching the RCA and Sony labels, or look at her cd booklets (it doesn't take a research scientist). You can also check her official UK site at http://kellyclarksonuk.com which is a Sony website, or her official US site at http://kellyclarksonweb.com which is an RCA site, or her fan club at http://kellyclarkson.com which under contract with Kelly and RCA.

[edit] Correction/update on article

The article says she hasn't done any acting since her movie with Justin Guarini. But if you check out her website, she talks about being on the Reba show (I've seen the episode, she was very funny!) Check it out! http://www.kellyclarkson.com/main.php?em982=117035_-1__0_~0_-1_3_2007_0_0&content=news
