Kelly Clarkson delivered a jaw-dropping rendition of LeAnn Rimes’ classic “Blue,” leaving LeAnn herself both proud and deeply moved. With echoes of Patsy Cline’s soulful grit, Kelly effortlessly blends classic country with a modern twist, showcasing her unmatched vocal power. This breathtaking performance proves that Kelly’s talent is truly timeless—she can sing the bark off a tree!

Clarkson crushed the song that first brought Rimes into the spotlight.

Kelly Clarkson has us feeling a little “Blue” — but we’re OK with that.

The pop star belted out a cover of LeAnn Rimes’ “Blue” during the “Kellyoke” portion of her show on Thursday.

Standing underneath — what else? — a stream of blue lights, Clarkson, wearing a black (not blue) dress, knocked it out of the park, proving that country is most definitely a genre she can tackle, especially when she hits the long note while singing “Blue, oh so lonesome for you” in the chorus.

And while Clarkson recently made headlines for saying there’s actually a song she’s afraid to cover, her fans let her know they were wowed by this performance.

“I’m running out of praises for Kelly! She’s so freaking amazing!” someone else commented.
