Below, we will dive into those two offerings and also highlight a fun musical moment between Clarkson and a certain Grammy Award-winning pop star guest, too.
On Monday (June 5), Clarkson gave fans a musical treat when she covered award-winning singer Justin Bieber. Performing a rendition of his pop song “Sorry,” Clarkson made the track her own, giving it a big vocal push and some delightful, bopping energy.
You gotta go and get angry at all of my honesty
You know I try, but I don’t do too well with apologies
I hope I don’t run out of time, could someone call a referee?
‘Cause I just need one more shot at forgiveness
I know you know that I made those mistakes maybe once or twice
And by once or twice, I mean maybe a couple of hundred times
So let me, oh, let me redeem, oh, redeem, oh, myself tonight
‘Cause I just need one more shot at second chances
Later this week on Thursday, Clarkson took on the Southern California-born rock band, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Performing a rendition of the iconic group’s hit “Can’t Stop,” Clarkson was joined on backing vocals by artist Jaco Caraco.
The song, which begins with an instantly memorable guitar lick, includes a near-rap delivery by the vocalist. Check out the heart-thumping track, performed as only Clarkson can.
Can’t stop, addicted to the shindig
Chop Top, he says I’m gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation
Defunkt the pistol that you pay for
This punk, the feeling that you stay for
In time, I want to be your best friend
East Side love is living on the West End
Also this week, Clarkson welcomed Grammy Award-winning artist Meghan Trainor to the show. The two talked about, well, hygiene. Check out their conversation on shaving “peach fuzz” below. Never a dull moment when it comes to Clarkson and her television show.
