Kellyoke Fans Rejoice! Kelly Clarkson Covers Now Streaming on SiriusXM Channel

Kelly Clarkson has turned the art of the bespoke cover into a staple of her syndicated daytime talk show. Whether she’s tackling Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees,” Tony Bennett’s “(I Left My Heart) In San Francisco, fellow American Idol alum Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away” or the Last Dinner Party’s “Nothing Matters,” Clarkson’s fans know to tune into her NBC show every day to see what surprising song she’ll take on next.

Now you can hear those unique takes on Clarkson’s SiriusXM channel, Kelly Clarkson Connection. The singer announced on Thursday (August 8) that you can tune in to SiriusXM 12 to hear Clarkson’s stories behind the covers, why she picked the songs, as well as some of the feedback she’s gotten on them from the original artists.

“I’m very excited to share the Kellyokes because it’s the one thing I get asked the most, ‘Can you just, like, put them all out?,’” Clarkson said in an audio clip included in the announcement on Instagram in which she noted that the covers have been mixed and mastered for inclusion on her satellite channel. “Kelly Clarkson Connection was the perfect place to have this. It’s my station, so why wouldn’t we put them out here so my fans can listen to them?”

During a five-hour Kellyoke segment on Wednesday, Clarkson gushed about Ariana Grande, saying, “oh my gosh, ya’ll, ‘Seven Rings.’ This is perhaps one of my favorite Kellyokes and I’ll tell you why. Because, after it aired, Ariana texted me and it was so sweet! She was like, ‘oh my God! That was so incredible!’ and I was like, ‘oh thank you!’ Because I love that song so much and I love how she took from The Sound of Music song. That was so cool and clever. And I love the song. And she’s very funny. I don’t think people know how funny and clever she is.”

Clarkson Connection launched in November as a dedicated exclusive year-round channel featuring Clarkson playing her favorite songs by other artists, music that inspires her and the stories behind some of her own hits, as well as appearances from members of her live band.
