Kelly Clarkson’s Kellyoke Covers Now Streaming on SiriusXM Channel
Kelly Clarkson has mastered the art of creating unique covers on her syndicated daytime talk show. Fans eagerly watch her NBC program daily to see which surprising song she’ll perform next, whether it’s Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees,” Tony Bennett’s “(I Left My Heart) In San Francisco,” fellow American Idol alum Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away,” or the Last Dinner Party’s “Nothing Matters.”
Now, these unique performances have found a new home on Clarkson’s SiriusXM channel, Kelly Clarkson Connection. The singer revealed on Thursday (August 8) that listeners can now tune in to SiriusXM 12 to hear her stories behind the covers, her song selections, and feedback from the original artists.
“I’m very excited to share the Kellyokes because it’s the one thing I get asked the most, ‘Can you just, like, put them all out?,’” Clarkson said in an Instagram audio clip. She informed fans that the covers have been mixed and mastered for her satellite channel. “Kelly Clarkson Connection was the perfect place to have this. It’s my station, so why wouldn’t we put them out here so my fans can listen to them?”
During a five-hour Kellyoke segment on Wednesday, Clarkson praised Ariana Grande, exclaiming, “Oh my gosh, ya’ll, ‘Seven Rings.’ This is perhaps one of my favorite Kellyokes, and I’ll tell you why. Because, after it aired, Ariana texted me, and it was so sweet! She was like, ‘Oh my God! That was so incredible!’ and I was like, ‘Oh thank you!’ Because I love that song so much, and I love how she took from The Sound of Music song. That was so cool and clever. And I love the song. And she’s very funny. I don’t think people know how funny and clever she is.”
Kelly Clarkson Connection launched in November as a dedicated exclusive year-round channel. The channel features Clarkson playing her favorite songs by other artists, music that inspires her, the stories behind her own hits, and appearances from her live band members.
