Kellyoke

Kellyoke is a cover extended play by American singer Kelly Clarkson. The title is a portmanteau of her first name and the word "karaoke". It is based on the Kellyoke cold open segment which opens each episode of her show The Kelly Clarkson Show, where Clarkson and her band perform various song covers that are either requested by fans or studio audience members, are a standard or favorite song of that day's lead guest, or are originally by artists who inspired her personally - thus the name Kellyoke. She has performed songs by artists such as the Weeknd, Whitney Houston, Aerosmith, The Chicks, & Nat King Cole among many others. The segment occasionally uses previous or taped performances on taping days where Clarkson is either unavailable to perform a song or is on vocal rest due to illness, or to preserve her voice for other commitments. "Cameo-oke" covers was introduced in the sixth season, with musical guests performing at the beginning of the show. Clarkson's band, My Band Y'All, is directed by pianist Jason Halbert and features vocal director and singer Jessi Collins, guitarist Jaco Caraco, bassist Joe Ayoub, and drummer Lester Estelle II.
