Kelly Clarkson Performs Rock Kellyoke Cover of Miley Cyrus and Stevie Nicks' 'Edge of Midnight'
Clarkson put her own spin on the 'Plastic Hearts' track on the Monday, April 8 episode of 'The Kelly Clarkson Show'
Kelly Clarkson rocked The Kelly Clarkson Show once again.
On Monday, April 8, the "Because of You" singer, 41, performed a blistering rendition of Miley Cyrus and Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Midnight" during her popular Kellyoke segment.
Clarkson sported a vintage Billy Joel tee and a black leather skirt as she put her own spin on the remix version of Cyrus‘ 2020 hit “Midnight Sky.”
Featured on Cyrus' 2020 album Plastic Hearts, "Edge of Midnight" pays homage to Nicks' 1981 solo hit “Edge of Seventeen,” and the "Since U Been Gone" performer harnesses its smoldering energy while putting her own stamp on it.

“Yeah, it’s been a long night and the mirror’s tellin’ me to go home/ But it’s been a long time since I felt this good on my own/ Lotta years went by with my hands tied up in your ropes/ Forever and ever, no more,” Clarkson belted before bursting into the rousing chorus.
“I was born to run, I don’t belong to anyone, oh no/ I don’t need to be loved by you,” she sang amid her soulful backup singers. “Fire in my lungs, can’t bite the devil on my tongue, oh no/ I don’t need to be loved by you.”
On Friday, April 5, Clarkson performed a completely different kind of cover — a rendition of Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow" with backing guitar from Jaco Caraco.
Sporting a long-sleeved black dress and silver earrings, the talk show host took her time to recite each song lyric first heard in the 1939 classic film The Wizard of Oz. The audience listened in silence as Clarkson sang against a row of dimmed purple lights.
