On a recent showing of her daytime talk show, Kelly Clarkson opened with a Post Malone cover for Kellyoke. Post has seen a surge of popularity after his performance at the ACM Awards, in which he sang two of his own songs and then did an impromptu acapella duet of “Ramblin’ Man” with Reba McEntire. He proved to the country music world that he wants to carve out a space for himself.
Now, Clarkson has covered “Something Real” with her talented backup singers, launching into the song with explosive force in her vocals. She hit the high notes with precision, and included her full band in the production. This small detail amped up the segment, showcasing the song’s interesting arrangement.
