Kelly Clarkson, the powerhouse vocalist known for her flawless covers on the “Kellyoke” segment of her talk show, recently revealed a hilarious blooper that nearly drove her to the brink. During rehearsals, Clarkson struggled to get the lyrics right for Bon Jovi’s classic hit “Blaze of Glory,” leading to a series of comical mishaps.
In a video shared on social media, Clarkson admitted, “That is the song that almost killed me. Not even ’cause I can’t sing it. I just can’t read.” Despite her familiarity with the song from the movie “Young Guns II,” she repeatedly sang the wrong words, much to her own frustration.
Eventually, Clarkson decided to seek help from the man behind the song, Jon Bon Jovi himself. In the video, viewers can see her exasperation as she struggles to get it right, only to be met with encouragement from Bon Jovi, who affectionately calls her “girlfriend.”
“Kellyoke” is a popular segment on the “Kelly Clarkson Show,” where the singer covers a wide range of songs from various genres. Fans have been clamoring for a country album from Clarkson, especially after her impressive renditions of country hits.
Despite the hiccup with “Blaze of Glory,” Clarkson’s infectious personality and genuine love for music continue to shine through in every performance. And as she navigates the challenges of live television, her ability to laugh at herself only endears her to fans even more.
