Kelly Clarkson has once again covered one of the greats.

Case in point, she took to the stage on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ to perform ‘Careless Whisper’ by George Michael during her most recent “Kellyoke” segment.

For her performance, the stage was lit with blue lighting and Clarkson performed an easy-going and as jazzy rendition of the Billboard Hot 100 #1 song.

During the performance, she chose to opt out of the saxophone and instead with a smooth guitar line.

The ‘Breakaway’ singer’s latest cover comes as she gears up to release an EP of her most famous covers from the segment (as we reported here).

Fans who thought his beef with BET had cooled were stunned to see him return to social media this week to tease a diss track aimed at the network.

When on the air, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ was both a ratings smash and a cultural phenomenon.

In the years since its initial run, the Tyra Banks-helmed series has been scrutinized – almost on a monthly basis – through a contemporary lens.

One person that isn’t here for the critique, though, is season 3 winner Eva Marcille. 

Since triumphing on the 2004 installment of the UPN series, she went on to enjoy a multi-dimensional career in the limelight – racking up modeling, acting, TV, and hosting gigs.

And she’s not feeling the derogatory claims about ANTM from others who haven’t demonstrated the same work ethic.
