Kelly Clarkson ushered in the era of reality singing competitions, which has gone to create numerous stars and help the terminal careers of others. She also has timeless songs in her résumé such as Since U Been Gone that are remembered to this day.
While Lady Gaga had bigger commercial success during The Fame Monster, her impact on newer artists remains to be seen and her music struggles to be remembered.
Do you agree that the impact of Kelly Clarkson exceeds that of Lady Gaga? Who holds more weight in the industry currently?
