Surprise: Kelly Clarkson
The powerhouse singer took Best Pop Vocal Album for Stronger, an award that most expected fun. to win. Clarkson won the same award with 2005’s Breakaway. She’s the first repeat winner in the history of the category, which dates to 1994. (Carrie Underwood, the other megastar to emerge from American Idol, was also a winner, though hardly a surprise one. She took Best Country Performance for “Blown Away.”)
