As a Daytime Host, Kelly Clarkson Has No Fear of Being Vocal
The New York Times
After its first two seasons were disrupted by the pandemic, “The Kelly Clarkson Show” has big expectations to fulfill. But its host is ready to come back better and, yes, stronger.
Kelly Clarkson had just come striding through an aisle of the Appel Room one afternoon in late August, accompanied by Kristin Chenoweth and a troupe of dancers as they sang the final bars of the uplifting Imagine Dragons ballad “On Top of the World.” In the minutes between catching their breath and performing the number for a second time — part of an elaborate musical sequence that will open the third season of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” — the host called out from her stage here at Jazz at Lincoln Center and offered a tongue-in-cheek apology to Chenoweth and the ensemble if she had missed any steps in this earlier take of the routine. “I was freaking out,” Clarkson said. “You do not want your entrance to depend on me.”More Related News
