Kelly Clarkson performs new single on American Idol

Kelly Clarkson returned to her old stomping ground last night (April 11) to perform her new single.

The powerful singer won American Idol back in 2002 and she hit the stage again to play new track 'People Like Us'.

Standing in front of her self-confessed idol Mariah Carey, Clarkson performed the track with aplomb as her backing band rocked a neon rave look.

The former winner embraced Carey after performing, with the veteran diva at one point saying:

"I need your opinion on some of my new stuff - I love this song!"

'People Like Us' meanwhile comes off of Clarkson's recent retrospective collection 'Greatest Hits: Chapter One'.
