Kelly Clarkson sang amazing cover songs on American Idol, and it helped her land the crown. She’s since continued the tradition on tour, where she performs at least one fan-requested cover song per show. She’s proved time and again that she’s super good at taking someone else’s song and making it her own. We’d never want to follow her at karaoke, that’s for sure. Here are some of the best instances of Kelly killin’ a cover song.
1. Rihanna’s “B*tch Better Have My Money”

Kelly’s covered Rihanna a lot, but this one might be our favorite.
2. Nick Jonas’ “Jealous”

3. ‘NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye”

Even Taylor was psyched about this cover.
5. Florence + the Machine’s “Shake It Out”

6. Adele’s “Someone Like You”

A duet between these two needs to happen.
7. Tracy Chapman’s “Give Me One Reason”
