Kelly Clarkson dipped into yet another genre for Monday’s (Sept. 26) “Kellyoke” installment, this time opting for a cover of Faith Hill’s 1999 country hit, “Breathe.”

Dressed in a sleek, knee-length black dress with tights and black leather boots, the 40-year-old superstar performed a piano rendition of the track’s first verse, before her full band and backup singer joined her for the euphoric chorus.
