Kelly Clarkson’s Best Kellyoke’s
From Christina Aguilera to Chris Stapleton to Måneskin, you don’t know what song she will put her own spin on next. Since we started doing this list ranking her best Kellyoke performances back in 2022, some of our favorite covers that year include a Jennifer Lopez ballad rendition of “Waiting For Tonight,” Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever,” Anita Bell’s disco track “Ring My Bell,” Adele’s “Rumor Has It,” and even Radiohead’s “Exit Music (For A Film).”
In 2023, Clarkson kept fans on her toes with even more breathtaking covers. Our picks of the standout Kellyoke’s from 2023 include Taylor Swift’s version of “Better Man,” Destiny’s Child’s 2001 hit song, “Survivor,” Cher’s “Strong Enough,” Daniel Bedingfield’s pop anthem “Gotta Get Through This,” and Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey.”

Clarkson previously released an album of six of her covers from 2022 after “singing over 500” on The Kelly Clarkson Show, which she said was “near-impossible” to choose. The Kellyoke album was released in June of 2022 and features the following songs:
- “Blue Bayou” by Linda Ronstadt
- “Call Out My Name” by The Weeknd
- “Happier Than Ever” by Billie Eilish
- “Queen Of The Night” by Whitney Houston
- “Trampoline” by SHAED and Zayn
- “Fake Plastic Trees” by Radiohead
Her latest album was 2022’s Chemistry. When announcing her 10th studio album ahead of its release, the singer-songwriter said she didn’t want “everybody” to think that her emotions could just be simplified as angry or sad. She explained in a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), “This album is definitely the arc of an entire relationship, and a whole relationship shouldn’t be just brought down to one thing. So there’s the good, the bad, the ugly thing kinda going on in it.”
With hundreds of Kellyoke performances under her belt and the number growing by the day, we conducted a list of her best performances of 2024 so far.
