The 58-year-old Ellen DeGeneres Show host kicked off the chat by saying: 'If you didn't see it… first of all were you surprised by the reaction that we all had the next day?'
'I was proud of myself for making it as far as I did. My husband knows me well. I came off stage and he was like don't ruin it. Don't ruin the moment. Because I was like "it was so embarrassing",' she admitted.
'I cried the whole time. I didn't realize it was gonna be that bad. And we were rehearsing that day and I just couldn't get through it. My one year old is running around the same hallway as I was 19.'
'Explain what the song is why it's emotional in itself,' Ellen prodded.

For the baby? Pregnant Kelly looked to get some gifts
'And The song is incredibly sad … It's just incredibly… it's sad, but hopeful.. cause a lot of us we didn't have a bar to set as far as finding love and relationships,' Kelly said. 'Or friendships in any form.
'So my sister and I had a conversation afterwards I ended up writing this song about how lucky we are because we both found incredible fathers and just lovers and men and just partners. I feel really lucky because I feel like a lot of girls with daddy issues don't end up that way, we end up going the same.'
Really emotional: Kelly fought back her own tears while performing and told host Ryan Seacrest that she was 'pregnant' and 'nostalgic'
Ellen: 'You found a great guy.'
Kelly: 'I did.'
Ellen: 'He's a great husband and a great father.'
Kelly: 'And he was there my little girl was there my little boy was like turning circles in my stomach. It was like nostalgic. It was the last time I was gonna be on Idol and it's ending. I was screwed from the get-go.'
Ellen: 'You're pregnant.'
'Emotionally,' Kelly said. 'I was on a slip and slide from hell.'
