It is originally posted here (in French obviously). But it was such a great article I had to translate it for you all. So here is a rough and quick translation.

Kelly Clarkson : This year's revelation?
Revealed to the American public two years ago with the reality TV show American Idol, Kelly Clarkson was unanimous, and, beyond the success of the show, has rapidly accessed the top of the charts with all of her singles.
It is thanks to her second album, Breakaway, that the French public can now discover her as an artist. Her first single "Since U Been Gone" already has the effect of an explosion and is currently being broadcast on most stations in France. .
"Breakaway" is a much more rock-oriented album than her preceeding effort, having been produced by the same producers as Avril Lavigne, and by the ex-member of Evanescence, Ben Moody. The album includes the titles "Since U Been Gone", "Behind These Hazel Eyes" and "Gone".
It is often a difficult task for an artist to break their ties from a reality show and gain the credibility of everyone in the process. But whether we already know Kelly Clarkson or not, the public is unanimous: A new star is born.

P.S. I love this. It's amazing what a few awards can do to an artist, but her VMAs aren't only helping her in the States. This is a matter of other countries seeing her win and thinking "Wow, well maybe she's worth playing here..." And this is what is happening. I love it.
