Artists are both honored and terrified to have their songs covered by Kelly Clarkson – because she just might do it better, and she has. Fellow devotees of The Kelly Clarkson Show, grab your front-row seats and get ready to leave your Fan Of View, because we're about to embark on a journey through the most electrifying, heart-pounding, and downright sensational Kellyoke moments on her very own The Kelly Clarkson Show. 

Our ranking moments have made us leap for joy, belt out lyrics, and hit that replay button incessantly. Clarkson's, our reigning queen of the stage, doesn't just cover songs – she transforms them into full-blown experiences that leave us in awe.

“Happier Than Ever” by Billie Eilish

Okay, seriously, can we talk about when Kelly Clarkson slayed Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever"? She owned it, flipped it, and served it with a side of vocals so good it could bring tears to your eyes. Clarkson, especially emotional amid her divorce, bared her soul with this one, and we're still not over it. Billie who? This was a huge moment for Kellyoke, putting it on the map for many.

"I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston

Hold on to your hats, folks! Clarkson channeled Whitney Houston and turned "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" into a dance party extravaganza. The energy, the moves, the vocals — she nailed it! We were dancing in our living rooms, pretending we were backup dancers in Kelly's world tour. But, we wouldn’t expect any less from the hitmaker paying incredible homage to her vocal heroes like Houston.

“Vampire” by Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo's "Vampire" got the Kelly Clarkson treatment, and Olivia, we’re sorry, but you might have to give the rights over to Kelly on this one. Audiences and TikTok alike fell in love with this rendition, proving that Kelly’s love for music and her artistry works across generations.

“Alone” by Heart

Kelly took on Heart's "Alone" and did it so much justice, we know Ann Wilson is proud. The hairbrush became a microphone, Clarkson passed the mics to fans while strutting through the audience, and we were transported to an '80s arena rock concert, courtesy of our queen. If there's one thing Clarkson excels at, it's taking on classics and breathing new life into them. "Alone" became a rock anthem reborn in Clarkson's capable hands. The power, the intensity, and the sheer rock 'n' roll spirit she injected into every note turned this Kellyoke moment into a head-banging celebration. All of Kelly’s rock covers are *chef’s kiss.*

“She Used to Be Mine” from Waitress (Sara Bareilles)

Sara Bareilles' "She Used to Be Mine" brings us to tears every single time, but with Clarkson's powerhouse vocals, the song's meaning intensified even more. The way she poured her heart into every note made us feel all the feels. It's like the singer took our collective emotions, set them to music, and belted them out for the world to hear. It was a deeply personal Kellyoke moment that left us with chills – and a standout Kellyoke for Waitress lovers everywhere.

These Top 5 Kellyoke moments are the stuff of legends, cementing Kelly Clarkson as the ultimate fan favorite. The genre-bending artist gives us more than just covers – she gives us an experience that leaves us screaming for encore after encore. Long live Kellyoke – we hope it is a segment that never leaves The Kelly Clarkson Show.
