Kelly Clarkson has turned the Kellyoke segment of her syndicated daytime talk show into a signature moment. Sometimes it's heartwarming, sometimes it's fun, and sometimes the singer and her crack house band spin a cover that's so unique and totally Kelly that it makes you wonder if she casually created the perfect version of someone else's song.
That was certainly the case on Wednesday (November 13), when Clarkson demolished a traditional version of the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 by Sabrina Carpenter, “Please Please Please.” In Clarkson's hands, she and her My Band Ya'll crew turned the song's dreamy pop vibes into a country romp as the Texas native Clarkson said, “I know I've got good judgment/I know I've got good taste/It's funny and it's ironic that I'm the only one who feels this way,” turning the pop nugget into a Patsy Cline-esque ballad that tears up the espresso.
After the adventure, Clarkson told her studio audience: “Ever since I heard that song, for some reason, I hear like Dolly Parton sings it too. For some reason, it lends itself to country for me, so I asked my band if we could do more of a country version of it because we already have the amazing pop version. But I love this song and I love when a song is so good that you can go into different genres with it. But thank you, Sabrina, for this song. Thank you for letting me sing it.”
“Please Please Please” spent a week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in June of this year and has spent 22 total weeks on the chart to date. located at No. 16 this week, moving up two spots from No. 18.
