Justin Hicks, a former American Idol contestant, has offered to 'take Kelly Clarkson shopping' after she revealed that she didn't receive a car as part of her winning prize in the inaugural season of the show. Hicks praised Clarkson's work ethic and success despite the challenges she faced after her ex-husband's passing.
Earlier this year, Hicks, 49, raised eyebrows when he flirtatiously responded to Clarkson’s revelation that she did not receive a car after winning the inaugural season of“I am a big fan of Kelly Clarkson and consider her one of the most incredible voices to emerge from American Idol,” Hicks told American Idol paved the way for reality competition shows to help everyday people achieve their dreams of music stardom.
The series premiered in 2002 on Fox with a star-studded judging panel consisting of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. American Idol‘s freshman season introduced Kelly Clarkson, who would become the show’s first breakout star. Hicks explained on Wednesday that he genuinely meant he wanted to pay it forward to Clarkson, 44, as she helped catapult the success of“As the show got bigger, Kelly, she was the first . She was the pioneer.
So there that many sponsors. But when they got to my season,]’s season … It was huge. It was such a big juggernaut. So there were a lot of sponsors,” the singer said.
“We got a car, we got a Ford Mustang and Kelly didn’t. So I was like, ‘Let’s take Kelly shopping’ and they took it from there. But she’s a doll. ” During a March episode of Clarkson’s eponymous talk show, the “Since U Been Gone” singer revealed that the prize she got for winning “I literally was on the show, and they were like, ‘Oh, you win a million dollars’ or whatever.
No, you didn’t. It was, like, a million dollars worth of investment in you,” she said.
“And then they said you get a car, and I needed it cause my car was bashed in, and I couldn’t afford the deductible. I did not get a car. And then Clay Aiken, who didn’t win the second season, got a car and his mom ! ”has since flourished.
Clarkson has earned three Grammys and 12 Daytime Emmys for her talk show, which will be coming to an end this fall. Winning American Idol has been a dream come true for many singers, but the prizes have changed a lot over the years. Kelly Clarkson was crowned the singing competition’s inaugural winner in 2002. She reportedly walked away with a $1 million prize and a record deal with RCA Records, per Parade.
In addition to the As Clarkson has balanced a successful career, she is also the loving mother to daughter River Rose, 12, and son Remington, 10, whom she welcomed with late ex-husband. Hicks applauded Clarkson for her “really great work ethic” as she has balanced everything that has been thrown at her.
“It’s not easy filming television, having two kids and then being able to mother without her ex-husband. Which is tough,” he said on Wednesday.
“It’s a tough gig all around. But what a great run she had. ”
