Daytime TV queen Kelly Clarkson has once again proved that she can sing the hell out of any song that comes her way, and this time it's Aerosmith's 1998 hit Angel that's the beneficiary of her talent.
Clarkson performed the song during the opening 'Kellyoke' section of her show, in which she traditionally sings a truncated version of a song chosen by a member of the studio audience or one of her guests. Naturally enough, she nails her part, and the crowd erupts as she hits some high notes just north of the 1'30" mark.
The former American Idol winner, whose 2022 Kellyoke EP included a cover of Radiohead's Fake Plastic Trees, has previously performed several rock songs during the segment, including Metallica's Sad But True, Whitesnake's Here I Go Again and Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun.
Aerosmith will return to the road this September, as their Peace Out Farewell Tour resumes almost exactly a year after being abandoned. The original dates were announced in May 2023, but the trek faltered after just three shows, when Steven Tyler sustained damage to his vocal cords, eventually leading to the cancellation of the tour.
