Kelly Clarkson is one of my favorite and dearly treasured performers. Watching her progress through the very first American Idol fifteen years ago was memorable. Cheering with her when she became the First American Idol was unforgettable.

It is no brainer that Kelly Clarkson made her performing appearance at the final season of American Idol. Bringing the audience and the judges to tears shows to us all that she connects during each and every one of her songs with the souls of those who listen. We hear her heart’s ache; we watch her fight for her firm standing in life; we embrace her for her courage to the things never done before. Kelly Clarkson is my idol as a human being, as a mother, as a uniquely-gifted performer who takes her passion, her profession sincerely.
This Piece by Piece performance is no exception. Have a quiet moment for yourself while listening to what she has to say with the musical language of this powerful song. Have a moment of reflection of your life. Find your inspiration and gratitude in the day you live now.
I remember how excited I used to get when this show first debuted, but I haven’t watched in a few years. It was a great send off.
That performance was such a tear-jerker. Great way to come full circle with the show.
The first season is the only one I watched any of. I can’t believe it’s been on for 15 years, it doesn’t seem like it’s been that long.
Unfortunately, it looks like the video is no longer available! I’ll have to look it up on YouTube. I had actually forgotten that Kelly Clarkson was the first winner of American Idol.
Kelly is my favorite winner of American Idol. As far as I’m concerned she is the biggest success that show was seen only to be matched by Carrie Underwood. I am glad the show is coming to end because it has been on air for a long time but I never really got into watching it
That was an emotional performance. Kelly really knows how to connect with her audience. It’s so sad that it’s the final season but they’ve had a great run!
The video is blocked. I have heard it was an emotional peroformance though.
I used to love American Idol, and watched more seasons than I skipped, but I think it is time for it to come to an end. I really like that they brought Kelly back for the series finale!
Kelly was so amazing when she won. It’s really amazing how much she has accomplished.
