Fans Urge Kelly Clarkson to Release Another Pop Rock Record After Her Latest ‘Deep Cut’ for ‘Kellyoke’

Kelly Clarkson’s latest “Kellyoke” performance had fans reminiscing about her early days as a pop star as they wished for her to release more music in the style of her third studio album, My December.
Clarkson, 42, dusted off “Not Today” from her 2007 album during The Kelly Clarkson Show on Friday, May 17. When her daytime talk show later shared the full performance on YouTube, it noted that it was Clarkson’s “first time ever” performing the song with the show’s house band.
In a clip of the “EXTREMELY RARE ‘My December’” performance that the show shared on Instagram, the American Idol winner showed off her stellar vocals as if she and her band had played the song countless times before. Once the song was over, she commented on their lack of history performing the song even as she dubbed it a “Kellyoke classic.”
"We found out just before we performed this for the first time ever in life that we’ve never performed that song ever,” she said with a laugh.
Despite the song’s previous absence from the NBC talk show’s stage, Clarkson explained to her audience that she adores it. “I don’t know why I picked it, but I love it,” she said. “Whatever. That’s angsty Kelly Clarkson from 2007.”
