At Kelly Clarkson's new 'Studio Sessions' Las Vegas residency — which premiered at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on July 11 after the original July 4-5 opening weekend was postponed due to rehearsals taking 'a toll' on her famous voice — the inaugural American Idol winner is including a Kellyoke cover as part of each night's encore.
Clarkson went big on opening night, tackling 'I Will Always Love You,' the 1974 Dolly Parton classic that took on a new life with Whitney Houston's 1992 cover for The Bodyguard film.
'I'm gonna preface [this] with no one should ever sing this song, but I got tricked one time,' Clarkson laughed to the July 11 crowd, explaining how Parton herself had requested that Kelly cover the enduring hit during a Dolly tribute at the 2022 ACM Awards. Clarkson also said that her version is a 'marriage' of Parton's original with Houston's cover. 'You can tell by some of my runs. I've been taking a little run here, a little run there from [Whitney], because I grew up on her. These are two of my favorite musical influences, and it's such a beautiful song.'
For night 2, Clarkson tackled another song she's previously performed: 'Beggin',' originally recorded by The Four Seasons in 1967 and famously covered by Italian rock band Måneskin in 2017, was also a Kellyoke pick on The Kelly Clarkson Show in March 2024.
Clarkson's 'Studio Sessions' residency — her second stint in Vegas, after her 'Chemistry' run at PH Live in Planet Hollywood back in 2023 — has dates at Caesars Palace through Nov. 15. Below, find an updating list of every Kellyoke cover Clarkson performs during her new residency.
