Kelly Clarkson Puts a Country Spin on Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Please Please Please’ on Kellyoke

Kelly Clarkson has turned the Kellyoke segment of her syndicated daytime talk show into a signature moment. Sometimes it’s touching, sometimes it’s fun and occasionally the singer and her crack house band turn around a cover that is so unique and totally Kelly that it makes you wonder if she’s casually created the perfect version of someone else’s song.

That was definitely the case on Wednesday (Nov. 13), when Clarkson busted out a country-fied version of Sabrina Carpenter‘s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash “Please Please Please.” In Clarkson’s hands, she and her house crew My Band Ya’ll transformed the song’s dreamy pop vibes into a country ramble as Texas-bred Clarkson drawled, “I know I have good judgement/ I know I have good taste/ It’s funny and it’s ironic that only I feel that way,” turning the pop nugget into a Patsy Cline-like tear-in-your-espresso ballad.

After the ramble, Clarkson told her studio audience, “Ever since I heard this song, for some reason, I hear like Dolly Parton singing it as well. For some reason, it lends itself to country for me, so I asked my band if we could make more of a country version of it because we have the amazing pop version already. But I love that song, and I love when a song is so good that you can kind of go into different genres with it. But thank you, Sabrina, for that song. Thank you for letting me sing it.”

“Please Please Please” logged one week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in June of this year and has spent 22 total weeks on the chart to date; it sits at No. 16 this week, up two spots from No. 18.
