Winner: Life Would Suck Without You when it jumped up from
Kelly Clarkson number ninety-seven to number one. Clarkson has en-
joyed a successful recording career since winning, with
multiple-platinum albums, a number of Top 10 hit singles
and two Grammy Awards. Runner-up Justin Guarini also
signed with RCA Records, eventually debuting an album
in 2003 after the conclusion of season 2. RCA dropped
him shortly after its debut. In addition to Clarkson and
Guarini, also signed were Nikki McKibbin, Tamyra Gray,
R. J. Helton, and Christina Christian.
After the finale, a special show in Las Vegas was also
shown in September 23, 2002 where all 30 of the contes-
tants who made the judges’ initial cut performed during
in a two-hour concert.
The show inspired a 2003 musical film, From Justin to
Kelly, featuring Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini.
