Story filed by Mikey on January 23, 2012

Kelly Clarkson paid tribute to the late jazz singer Etta James at her show in New York on Saturday night.

The singer originally auditioned for American Idol with James’ song ‘At Last’.

Claiming that this time she wanted to sing her “favourite”, Clarkson performed ‘I Would Rather Go Blind’ at the end of her set at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

Etta James died of complications related to leukemia on Friday.
