Fans Call Kelly Clarkson's Latest 'Kellyoke' Cover 'Utterly Insane'
Kelly Clarkson gave fans goosebumps with her latest "Kellyoke" performance, taking on rising star Benson Boone's hit track "Beautiful Things."
The official Instagram account of The Kelly Clarkson Show shared a video of the cover, captioning it: "Beautiful Things #Kellyoke ?? @bensonboone."
The 42-year-old looked elegant in a ruffled light pink long-sleeved shirt and flared jeans while performing the emotional song for the show's audience.
Donnie Wahlberg was one of the fans in awe of the clip, with the Blue Bloods star commenting, "????????????????????????????????????," and many couldn't help but agree.
"Utterly insane !!! Kelly go BOONE! ??," a viewer commented, as another eloquently shared their reaction, "Oh God Kelly The beautiful heartfelt emotional runs and exceptional vocal ???? An amazing song and beautiful lyrics ????."
Once again, fans felt like Clarkson made the song her own, with a few replies saying things like, "@bensonboone so sorry for your loss of the song. it was great seeing you perform it while you could ????."
Others commented on the difficulty of the tune, which was evident in the high note runs near the end that Clarkson perfectly sang, as a fan of Boone's wrote, "Wow she nailed it, that’s one hard song to sing!! I get shivers when she hits that high note!!"
"Good grief incredible!!!!" said someone else. The comments were, per usual, filled with requests that Clarkson release an album filled with her "Kellyoke" covers, and while a short EP came out in 2022, there have been no releases since.
Along with her crowd-pleasing covers, Clarkson's talk show has won big in other ways. During its run so far, The Kelly Clarkson Show has taken home the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show four times and Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host four times.
