Kelly Clarkson Performs "At Last" On "American Idol" 13 Years After Her Audition: Watch

Just like the old days!

When we first met Kelly Clarkson back in 2002 we saw a super bold but humble girl singing Etta James’ “At Last” at her “American Idol” audition. That year she won the first season of the FOX talent show. Now, 13 years later Kelly’s returned to the show that rose her to fame to perform the song that changed her life forever by convincing Paula, Simon and Randy to take her to Hollywood.

Kelly performed “At Last” last night (April 1) on “Idol” on a special episode where she also mentored the contestants. Why appearing on the show this year you ask? Well, KC’s latest album “Piece by Piece” didn’t have the most amazing opening sales of her career earlier this year; in fact the difference with her last non-holiday album is huge (“Stronger” sold 163k in its first week while “Piece by Piece” only shifted 80k copies), and also her lead single “Heartbeat Song” isn’t the “hit” everyone expected it to be, so the combination of both factors has kind of forced Kelegend and RCA Records to search for all the promotion outlets available to try and correct the course of this era. “American Idol” still has huge viewership and that evidently translates to “important impact” for anyone in the music business.

How did Kelly fair? She killed it! Her vocals are just to die for. It’s been 13 years since she sang “At Last” at her “Idol” audition but she still sounds as amazing as she did back then. KWEEN!!!

Thoughts?
