Kelly Clarkson Wins Respect From ‘World Idol’ Judges

Ellen Tumposky of The New York Daily News was on hand for the taping of ‘World Idol’, which features ‘American Idol’ champ Kelly Clarkson performing ‘Natural Woman’. In the taping, Clarkson was one of the few contestants to get respect from the judges. “You already are a world idol, frankly,” purred Australian judge Ian Dickson. Even the caustic Polish judge, Kuba Wojewodzki, told her: “You didn’t bring me down to my knees, but Kelly – I’d like to find you under my Christmas tree.”
