Kelly Clarkson is at it again! Kelly regularly performs covers during her “Kellyoke” segment on her talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show. She loves to put her own spin on classic songs from the past. Recently, she performed an exciting, high-energy rendition of “Footloose,” made famous by Kenny Loggins for the film by the same name.

“Footloose” was released in 1984 and was the title track for the film. It was nominated for an Academy Award for best original song. For Kelly’s version, she was dressed all in black and danced and sang alongside two backup singers.

Last week, in addition to “Footloose,” Kelly also performed another classic song. She sang “Dancing Queen” by ABBA but slowed it down a bit. She sang a slower version with just a pianist and it was so beautiful!
