Really great Idol episode tonight. Very Kelly-centric. Loved that they played PBP again too. It was a really great restrospective. And ending with kelly mentions and singing PBP seemed fitting.

I watched the retrospective last night and loved how incredibly Kellycentric it was. AI is finally giving her the credit she deserves.

What I think is so interesting is Kelly caught a lot of flack back in 2005 for trying to distance herself from Idol - unjustifiably so. Now they're using her as the poster child, and you can tell she could not be prouder to be so. Go girl.

Is it at all possible that Kelly will be there tonight at the finale?... Her Facebook is really pushing her appearance tonight as "live"... I know it's virtually impossible, but nothing would make me happier than to see Kelly there live...

Yeah, I noticed they kept billing her as being "live" tonight but we all know she is going to be there from her taped performance.

This medley is killing it even though it has to move quickly. She sounds insanely good. Did they do anything to her vocals because damn. So crisp and clear.

Love how they keep working her other hits into the background.

She had so much rasp in the "Piece by Piece" performance and this was note-for-note perfect with zero imperfections. I f***ing loved the whole thing. Wish they'd throw a studio version on iTunes!

I would absolutely buy that medley on iTunes. Any chance at all they put it on there?

That performance was incredible! I'd buy that (and a few others from tonight) in a hot second. They need to throw those up on iTunes stat.

That medley arrangement was kind of a mess. But I suppose it's hard to keep it at a reasonable length when one has so many hits to squeeze in.

^^ There definitely was some cleaning up of the vocals, since they had time to do it. I may be wrong but I thought I had read that she broke down during the medley and had to re-do it ? 'Piece by Piece' is remaining at ~ #30 (with both versions) since Tuesday night's Idol episode and her 'Greatest Hits' album is now #45 without any discount. _______________________________________________________________________________ Scroll to 0:40 ________________________________________________________________________________ Kelly Clarkson owns the “American Idol” finale with a medley of some of the best songs everDouglas Barclay, Rare Staff | Posted on April 7, 2016 8:59 pm Several weeks before the final episode of “American Idol”season one winner and pop icon Kelly Clarkson taped a medley of hits for the final show. Clarkson’s second child is due any day now and producers figured that she would be unable to attend or perform at the finale. Even though she wasn’t there in person, Kelly’s medley of hits like “Stronger,” “Miss Independent,” and “A Moment Like This,” was one of the night’s most powerful moments as the woman that helped make the show a hit demonstrated her success. After she started hit after hit it was easy to realize why a show like “American Idol” has endured for so long, and why Kelly Clarkson is so beloved across the country. rare.us/story/kelly-clarkson-owns-the-american-idol-finale-with-a-medley-of-some-of-the-best-songs-ever/

Kelly was amazing. I can't believe she can deliver that kind of vocal considering how pregnant she is.

RCA should discount her discography today while the interest is a little higher from the Idol performance and restrospectives.

If invincible wasn't so recent there's no way it woudlve made the cut haha.

Not here for that sloppy medley. At one point, Kelly looked confused when she was singing one song and the background singers were singing something different. Also, at one point, the music was off. She sounded great as usual, though.

She sounded great as usual, though. She let the audience sing to Stronger while the BG singers sang another song. That was weird. I thought it was creative, but too much in a short time. They should've done the shout-outs between songs not during them. However, it might not be as irritating to people who don't know her singles well enough. I loved it.. The instrumental for Invincible (before Heartbeat Song instrumental kicked in) was great! Maybe that would've made it commercial.
