Kelly Clarkson Belts a Killer Mariah Carey Cover from Her Bathroom During Self-Quarantine
Kelly Clarkson is taking "Kellyoke"on the road.
After deciding to participate in a voluntary self-quarantine, the TV personality and Voice judge sang a Mariah Carey song from her Montana home.
While production on The Kelly Clarkson Show has been halted and the opening of her Las Vegas residency has been postponed, it seems nothing can keep Kelly Clarkson from singing. On Thursday, the American Idol winner and Voice judge belted out Mariah Carey's "Vanishing" from her bathroom because, well, just because.
“People keep asking, 'Hey, will you do some videos?' And fans keep saying 'Where are you?' And I’m in a bathroom. That’s a towel. That’s my husband’s towel," Clarkson joked. "But since there’s no where to go. We’re in like a little cabin in Montana... I thought it would be cool to maybe start with 'Vanishing,'" Clarkson said before singing a powerful, a cappella version of the Mariah Carey hit.
Clarkson captioned the video "That time ur quarantined, ur kids r sleeping so ur stuck in a bathroom & ur glam squad’s nowhere in sight. Brought to you by #browntowel #A1sauceforthewin #howlongwillthisalllast #askingforafriend."
Fans thanked (and applauded) Clarkson for her performance. One follower wrote "Amazing." Another wrote "QUEEN" and one wrote "Love hearing your voice in its purest form!" Others commented on her "natural" beauty and makeup-free look. And, Mariah Carey herself even had a sweet remark to share, writing, "Beautiful rendition!!! I know you’re usually working 30 hours a day 8 days a week so this must be quite an adjustment for you (as it is for us all!). Keep the videos coming!! Do whenever you call next."
But Clarkson is not alone. Many celebrities have taken their acts and shows on the road or, more accurately, onto social media.
Jimmy Fallon is producing mini-episodes of “The Tonight Show" in his home. Garth Brooks, Chris Martin, and John Legend have all performed concerts on social media, and both New York Metropolitan Opera shows and Broadway productions can be streamed online.
