If there’s one thing that’s certain in the music world, it’s that Kelly Clarkson will take any song and make it her own—often with jaw-dropping results. The inaugural winner of American Idol has solidified her place as a beloved figure in pop culture over the past two decades. Her daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, continues to captivate audiences nationwide, with its highly popular opening segment, “Kellyoke,” where Clarkson puts her unique spin on both contemporary hits and timeless classics.
This time, Clarkson tackled Riley Green’s sultry country track, “Worst Way,” from his Way Out Here EP and the October album Don’t Mind If I Do. The original song, which features Green’s steamy lyrics and country music flair, describes an intimate moment between the singer and his love interest.
Clarkson’s cover, however, brings a fresh twist to the track. With her signature powerhouse vocals and a moody instrumental backdrop, the performance infuses rock-tinged guitar riffs into the mix, especially as the song builds toward its soaring second half. Clarkson’s rendition of “Worst Way” captures the essence of the original while showcasing her incredible vocal range, further proving why she continues to be one of the most formidable voices in music today.
