KELLY CLARKSON - A MOMENT LIKE THIS
What If I Told You It Was All Meant To Be
Would You Believe Me, Would You Agree?
It's Almost That Feeling We Met Before
So Tell Me That You Don't Think I'm Crazy
When I Tell You Love Has Come Here And Now
A Moment Like This
Some People Wait A Lifetime For A Moment Like This
Some People Search Forever For That One Special Kiss
Oh, I Can't Believe It's Happening To Me
Some People Wait A Lifetime For A Moment Like This
Everything Changes But Beauty Remains
Something So Tender, I Can't Explain
Well, I May Be Dreaming But Till I Awake
Can't We Make This Dream Last Forever
And I'll Cherish All The Love We Share
A Moment Like This
Some People Wait A Lifetime For A Moment Like This
Some People Search Forever For That One Special Kiss
Oh, I Can't Believe It's Happening To Me
Some People Wait A Lifetime For A Moment Like This
Could This Be The Greatest Love Of All
I Wanna Know That You Will Catch Me When I Fall
So Let Me Tell You This
Some People Wait A Lifetime For A Moment Like This
Some People Wait A Lifetime For A Moment Like This
Some People Search Forever For That One Special Kiss
Oh, I Can't Believe It's Happening To Me
Some People Wait A Lifetime For A Moment Like This
Oh, Moment Like This, Moment Like
Oh, I Can't Believe It's Happening To Me
Some People Wait A Lifetime For A Moment Like This
Oh, Like This

Clarkson Was The First Winner On The Us Tv Show American Idol, And This Was Released As Her First Single After She Performed The Song On The Show. In A Sign Of How American Idol Would Influence The Music Industry, The Song Broke The Record For The Biggest Jump To #1 In The History Of The Us Hot 100 Chart When It Soared 52-1 On The Week Of October 5, 2002. That Record Had Been Held For 37 Years By The Beatles; In April 1964, "Can't Buy Me Love" Rose From 27-1.
Clarkson's Record Was Beaten In 2007 By Maroon 5'S "It Makes Me Wonder," Which Went 64-1.
This Was The Biggest-Selling Single In The Usa In 2002. It Was Not Released In The Uk.
Clarkson's American Idol Performance Of This Song Ended In Tears, Providing The Show With Perhaps Its First Iconic Moment. Clarkson Was Indeed In The "Moment" When She Sang It - She Claims That She Doesn't Remember Crying When She Sang It.
Clarkson's Success Was Still A Longshot Even After She Hit With This Song. Many Critics Felt Her Performance Was Overwrought And Contrived, And That She Would Fail Without The Idol Machine Backing Her Up. Over The Next Few Years It Became Clear That Clarkson Was Genuine, And Also Very Talented. Much Of Her Success Can Be Attributed To Her Keeping A Distance From The Trappings Of Fame, Which Kept Her Focused And Authentic.
In December 2006, This Song Was Recorded By Leona Lewis, The Winner Of Series 3 Of The British Reality Show The X Factor. Her Single Set A Record For The Fastest-Selling Uk Download.
Clarkson Explained Why She Never Wants To Perform This Song Again In A 2011 Interview With Entertainment Weekly: "Here's The Thing: I Get It. It Was A Moment Thing For Whoever Won [American Idol], But That Song Wasn't Written For Me. I Loved Singing It For The Finale. That's What It Was For, But You Ain't Going To Catch Me Anytime Soon Or Ever Singing That Song Again. Someone Would Have To Be Dying In Front Of Me, Saying, 'My Last Wish Is For You To Sing That Song!' For Me To Sing That Song."
