"A Moment Like This" is the debut single by American singer Kelly Clarkson, the winner of the first season of ''American Idol''. It was released as a double-A side with "Before Your Love" and topped the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song was later included on her debut album, ''Thankful'' (2003). It is her coronation song from ''American Idol''. In 2006, the song was recorded by British singer Leona Lewis, the winner of the third series of ''The X Factor''. ==Background== The song was co-written by Jörgen Elofsson and John Reid (of dance act Nightcrawlers) and produced by Stephen Ferrera and Steve Mac. It was written to be the first single for the winner of the first season of ''American Idol''. As a result, the four remaining finalists, Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini, Nikki McKibbin, and Tamyra Gray each recorded a version of the song in case he or she won. The song was first revealed to the public when Guarini and Clarkson competed in a final showdown while singing this song, along with another track, "Before Your Love". After the American public had voted, Guarini performed the song (and Clarkson performed "Before Your Love") at the final show before the results were revealed. When Clarkson was announced as the winner, she became emotional, and sang the song as her final performance. "Before Your Love", was also given to radio and had a video shot, which debuted on MTV's ''TRL'' before "A Moment Like This" did; however, it failed to achieve the level of success of "A Moment Like This", but shares the Gold certification as a double-a sided single. "A Moment Like This/Before Your Love" was certified gold by RIAA on October 18, 2002.〔(RIAA Search - Kelly Clarkson )〕 As of June 4, 2009, the single has sold approximately 1,047,000 copies.〔(How the American Idol coronation singles stack up, part 1 ), Idol Chatter.〕 On March 5, 2013, ''Billboard'' ranked the song #11 in its list of Top 100 American Idol Hits of All Time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Moment Like This」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
