I'm glad to see people picking this story up...usually the media likes to report only the bad stuff

Kelly Clarkson: The American Idol winner has a lot of class. On September 4, she performed in concert at the Berkeley Greek Theatre right before she was diagnosed with bronchitis. Clarkson does not think that the fans who paid to see her got the best she could deliver, so those same fans will be treated to a free concert on December 21 at San Jose's HP Pavilion. The singer explained her decision by saying, "I love my fans and they deserve the best that I can give. I promised them I'd come back when I was healthy and I am really looking forward to making this up to them." Folks who attended the Berkeley concert will be contacted through Ticketmaster and offered the opportunity to attend the new concert date compliments of Clarkson. In a world run by a lot of greedy people, she deserves credit for being so honest and generous.
