Kelly Clarkson Covers Her Own Holiday Hit and Fans Can’t Decide Which Version Is Better

Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson has won over fans with another cover, but this time, it was of her own song.

In her latest Kellyoke segment for her award-winning talk show, the 41-year-old took the stage to sing a jazzy version of her Christmas jam "Underneath the Tree."

The holiday hit was initially released a decade ago, originally appearing on Clarkson's 2013 album Wrapped in Red, so it's about time it got a little update—but fans were not expecting her to give them a spirited rendition.

"Am speechless.. WOW!!" one fan wrote via X (formerly Twitter). "Was not expecting a really awesome jazzy version .. but as always you absolutely NAILED it!!.. thank you for making my whole day!! Xxxxxx."

"now I’m having a self-debate on which version is better…" a second contemplated. "Her album version or this jazzy one."

A different fan simply called Clarkson a "Christmas Musical Genius."

A few others else loved it so much, with one begging her to "record this version," and someone else gushing that they "need this version on Spotify now."

"Every day, every freaking day… this woman amazes me. My day is not complete without a kellyoke," another shared.

This is just the latest holiday song to get the Clarkson treatment this week, as she also recently covered Cher's new tune, "DJ Play a Christmas Song," which fans called "totally amazing." And before that, the American Idol alum shared her version of the classic "O Holy Night"—declared as "divine" by viewers online. Not to mention, last week's performance of her song "Christmas Eve."

It's not just her Kellyoke covers that are drawing attention to her spirited vocals, either, as her live performance for NBC's Christmas at the Opry hosted by Wynonna Judd, was also praised, with fans quipping that it earned her the title of "Mother Christmas."
