Kelly Clarkson Returns to American Idol American Idol's first winner, Kelly Clarkson, returned to the stage where she first became a pop icon to sing "Don't You Want to Stay" with country star Jason Aldean on last night's elimination show. Ryan Seacrest charmingly invited Kelly to the stage saying, "[She's] someone the world knows as the platinum-selling Grammy winner, but to us she's the girl who started it all."
