Artist:Kelly Clarkson
Song:My Grown Up Christmas List
Album:American Idol: The Great Holiday Classics
If you're a fan of American Idol's (AI) original run and you like Christmas songs, you may enjoy this Christmas album released with a 2003 TV special. Of course Kelly Clarkson was the first AI winner so it's appropriate that she kicked off the show. Others appearing on the album include AI season 2 winner Ruben Studdard, Tamyra Gray, Clay Aiken, Kimberly Locke, Justin Guarini and Christina Christian. There are also a couple of group songs. Simon Fuller produced the album. He worked for AI at the time. The songs are the usual Christmas songs we see on every Christmas album with the exception of My Grown Up Christmas List. Though you may not have heard that song, it's not a new song. David Foster and Linda Thompson wrote it and he performed it with Natalie Cole on his 1989 CBC special A David Foster Christmas Card. Amy Grant hit the Christian chart with her 1992 version. Kelly's version got some Adult Contemporary airplay. It's an attempt at a Christmas classic but it hasn't caught on. The American Idol Christmas album is available. Kelly now records for Atlantic. She released a Christmas EP last year. But these days she is better known for her daytime talk show. Did anyone have that on the American Idol bingo card? Here's Kelly Clarkson performing My Grown Up Christmas List the 2003 TV special An American Idol Christmas.
