Kelly Clarkson's 'American Idol' Performance Made Keith Urban Cry
Kelly Clarkson got her start as the winner of the very first season of American Idol, so it totally makes sense that she would make an appearance at the very last season. She swung by the set last night for an emotive performance of "Piece by Piece," the most heartbreaking song and title track on her last album.
In it, Clarkson details how she felt as a kid when her dad left. She was six at the time, and begins with a deeply saddening, "And all I remember is your back / Walking towards the airport leaving us all in your past."
