Kimberly Ann Caldwell (born February 25, 1982 in Katy, Texas) is an American singer most known for being a contestant on the second season of Fox Network's singing competition television show, American Idol. She was the sixth finalist eliminated and finished in seventh place.
Caldwell first sang publicly at the age of five at beauty pageants. She was a five time junior vocalist winner on Star Search, and also performed at the Grand Ole Opry. In 1995, she sang at the 50th wedding anniversary of former President George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush. She also appeared on the second and final season of USA, where she was rejected from the group and told she would do better as a solo vocalist.
After appearing on American Idol, Caldwell became the first Idol contestant to pose for the men's magazine, Maxim, in a feature on "Reality TV girls" in the August, 2003 issue. That same year, she served as a correspondent for Fox Sports' extreme sports show, 54321, which only aired that year.
