Who sang "a moment like this" before kelly clarkson? does anyone know who originally sang that song that goes, "some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this" i'm almost 100% sure someone sang it before kelly clarkson, since she's only been around the past two/three years, and i remember that song from a long time before that. i'm thinking mariah carey or whitney houston, but i can't find anything on google about anyone but kelly clarkson singing that
