Check out these clips from The Kelly Clarkson show’s BIG American Idol reunion. Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell dropped by to chat with Kelly Clarkson about the first groundbreaking season of American Idol. Kelly set the bar high as the show’s first winner 17 years ago. Also, her runner-up Justin Guarini is a special guest. Kelly says she hadn’t seen him “in years.” A special treat: Several of Kelly’s fellow season 1 contestants tape messages for the singer!
These are just clips. When the show airs later today, I’ll try to put up full clips. For instance, host Ryan Seacrest dialed in. His clip isn’t included on the show’s Youtube page.
Kelly kicked the reunion off with a cover of Paula’s mega pop hit, “Straight Up.”
