Kelly Clarkson Salutes Clive Davis

Kelly Clarkson performs at the 2009 GRAMMY Salute To Industry Icons at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday (February 7) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 26-year-old original American Idol champ hit the red carpet in a perwinkle blue Carmen Marc Valvo dress and Loree Rodkin jewels. At the event, Kelly honored record industry boss Clive Davis. She received one of the evening’s biggest standing ovations with her performance of her new single, “My Life Would Suck Without You” and her own rendition of the Janis Joplin classic “Piece of My Heart.”
