Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Kelly Clarkson sang her 2015 song "Invincible" on this Kellyoke Classic segment to celebrate 100 days until the Paris Olympics — which had fans emotional with the song and the montage accompanying it.

Clarkson kicked off her show with an emotional performance of the powerhouse song during the April 17 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. The episode was further elevated with inspiring highlights from Olympic athletes as she sang and the presence of Team USA Olympians and Paralympians in the audience.

A wave of adoration flooded the comments section of the video as fans eagerly shared their love and appreciation for Clarkson's stunning performance. "This song is so moving and powerful 🔥🔥🔥 Speaks so well for the greatness of the athletes 💪🙌 Should be played at NBC's Olympic opening 😍," one user wrote. Another said, "This song is already great and powerful, but adding in that montage and I am weeping. 😢"

"She still gives me goosebumps. So amazing," another fan commented.

"For the last couple of months, I've been brushing up on my French and I've been doing my Olympics research as well, so I'll be all set by the time I cohost the opening ceremony... I'm very excited," she said after her performance.
