Kellyoke is karaoke if, when you went to karaoke, you were extremely talented and made the rest of the bar wonder,Did she write this song herself? I can’t seem to remember the original artist!Oh, and did we mention that a member of the audience chooses the song (and sometimes one of her guests gets a say), meaning that Clarkson doesn’t even rehearse like crazy before her performances?

From Lizzo to Dolly Parton, Clarkson can and will cover it all. Here are her 12 best Kellyoke covers … so far.

Be still my beating Heart. Clarkson’s vocals were practically tailor-made for this track. Remind us why she didn’t sing this while competing onAmerican Idol?

Pink and Clarkson are both incredibly strong vocalists, making this cover not only a perfect choice for Clarkson to sing, but a sign that she and Pink need to drop a collaboration A.S.A.P.

It ain’t her fault that she’s out here feelin’ loose! Clarkson covered the Lizzo hit, proving that she is 100% that host.

We wanna dance with somebody, and that somebody isKelly Clarkson.

Clarkson’s stripped-down version of the already emotional Miley Cyrus track had us feeling all of the feelings.

We like it, we love it when Kelly goes back to her country roots.

Let the whole world know that today is a day of Kellyoke-ing! The Martina McBride song fits Clarkson’s range so effortlessly. No wonder she called herself “Miss Independent.”

Good thing we can turn back time … to listen to this cover over and over and over again.

Clarkson is still doing Kellyoke every day, so it was nearly impossible to narrow down the list, especially considering how talented she is. That woman could sing the phonebook and we would listen. You can catch her onTheKelly ClarksonShowdaily on NBC; check your local listings.
