<\/p>\nOn Wednesday\u2019s \u201cKellyoke\u201d segment, the singer and talk show host embraced vulnerability with her powerful cover.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kelly Clarkson put her own unique twist on Demi Lovato\u2019s \u201cAnyone\u201d with a \u201cKellyoke\u201d performance Wednesday on \u201cThe Kelly Clarkson Show.\u201d<\/p>\n
Standing on a dark stage resembling the one where Lovato first performed the song live at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, Clarkson and her musical director Jason Halbert performed a shortened and slightly rearranged version of the song to thunderous applause and cheering.<\/p>\n

Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock<\/em><\/p>\n Clarkson, 40, embraced the vulnerability of the song with her rich low voice and rhythmic freedom throughout. Though the cover was a shortened version with slight alterations to the accompaniment, she glided through the verse and pre-chorus, climbing to a strength in her higher octave to effortlessly belt the chorus. With not a single note off key, Clarkson ended her cover with bouncing between octaves and adding extra riffs for her own personal touch.<\/p>\n Lovato recorded \u201cAnyone,\u201d a song praised by critics for its vulnerability and rawness, four days before their near-lethal overdose in July 2018. Lyrics like \u201cPlease send me anyone\u201d and \u201cNobody\u2019s listening to me\u201d nod to the singer\u2019s battles with mental health issues including addiction. The song is the lead single on their 2020 album, \u201cDancing with the Devil\u2026 the Art of Starting Over,\u201d with their Grammy performance of the song marking their return to the stage.<\/p>\n Demi Lovato<\/em><\/p>\n In an interview with \u201cNew Music Daily with Zane Lowe\u201d before the release, Lovato said the song brings listeners in to their headspace before the overdose.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the time when I was recording it, I almost listened back and hear these lyrics as a cry for help,\u201d they said. \u201cAnd you kind of listen back to it and you kind of think,\u00a0How did nobody listen to this song and think, \u2018Let\u2019s help this girl?<\/em>\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Although Clarkson did not sing the second verse or second chorus of the original song, commenters on the YouTube video commended the singer and talk show host for the care with which she handled the personal song.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m only a few seconds in but I just want to say that Kelly is the first person besides Demi Lovato who makes me feel that the necessary emotions of the song,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cI usually feel that nobody on earth should cover this, because it\u2019s so personal to Demi, but Kelly did a really great job with the phrasing right from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n Other viewers of Clarkson\u2019s rendition agreed on the singer\u2019s ability to deliver the song.<\/p>\n \u201cIf anyone was meant to sing this other than Demi, it\u2019s Kelly,\u201d someone commented.<\/p>\n Other recent \u201cKellyoke\u201d covers have included \u201cRSVP\u201d by Maren Morris and \u201cUnder the Bridge\u201d by Red Hot Chili Peppers. The singer also recently\u00a0released an EP titled \u201cKellyoke\u201d\u00a0on June 9 featuring six full-length covers. Lovato is set to release their newest album, \u201cHoly Fvck,\u201d on Aug. 19.<\/p>\n![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/resizer\/v2\/NE43XKQK7VI7JFRIAL7WWY46PY.jpg?smart=true&auth=84a25ac9536399ca9b91ec5eafe6457e3c03bf92c74b84e6d9d4dfb9f72e5006&width=2999&height=1686\")
