We’ve got the Kelly Clarkson on American Idol finale video here! It was a celebratory night for Idols past. There were several surprising performances last night but to see the majority of the Idol winners (David Cook was absent) and some previous contestants.
On the Idol stage was pretty damn cool. Read more and see photos here.Did you catch Kelly Clarkson on American Idol, the series finale last night?
As part of a farewell performance to judge and producer Simon Cowell, the American Idol winners of season’s past (excluding David Cook) took the stage to sing to the man who gave them the opportunity to become a star.
So just where was David Cook? Apparently participation in a charity golf tournament was more important and yeah it’s probably true. Raising money for the Shadow Buddies Foundation was on Cook’s priority list.
The foundation reps said that David played at the Deer Creek Golf Course on Tuesday to help raise money for seriously ill children and then appeared at a breakfast on Wednesday.
David took to his Twitter to apologize for his absence saying, “Congrats to Lee Dewyze! So sorry I couldn’t be there to see all my fellow idols. I’m there in spirit!”
The Idol winners took the stage joining season one Idol winner Kelly Clarkson after she sang a few lyrics alone. The music heightened and the other Idols began singing. With all the Idol winners dressed in black, two additional lines of previous Idol contestants (dressed in white) formed on each side of the Idol winners.
That moment by far was one of my favorite moments of the two hour finale. Check out the Kelly Clarkson on American Idol finale video below as she is joined by former American Idol winners as they pay tribute to Simon Cowell.
