Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson are such music powerhouses, it’s easy to forget that they both got their start in the same way: by winning their seasons of "American Idol." Clarkson won the show’s first-ever season, while Underwood won on Season 4. But just because they started the same way doesn’t mean these two superstars are OK with people pitting them against each other.Over the weekend, the website The Tylt published a poll asking fans to vote for the “most iconic” "American Idol" winner, and the choices were Clarkson and Underwood. And the two singers didn’t take too kindly to being compared to one another. Clarkson responded first, noting, “I think we’re both winning in life and pretty blessed! Singers, mamas, CEOs, #Ambitious Blondes go ahead @carrieunderwood.” Underwood then chimed in, saying, “Whatever, girl, I voted for you! But seriously, I do wish more publications would just celebrate women’s success without pitting them against each other…Just my thoughts…anyway…Love ya! Hope you’re well!” Clarkson has said that not only do fans compare them, but also they confuse them. In a 2016 interview with Z100’s Elvis Duran, she said that fans frequently think she’s Carrie Underwood. "This is my favorite thing. People come up to me all the time. OK, we look nothing alike, we sound nothing alike, there's nothing about us that's similar, really, except we were both on Idol,” she said. "People are always like, 'I love your song, "So Small," and I'm like, 'Thank you. Thank you, I think you're thinking I'm Carrie Underwood.’ It always happens! Then a girl that worked with her years ago said the same things happened to her. I think it’s because we're both blonde and from 'American Idol.'"
