Kelly Clarkson’s New Christmas Single ‘Kellyoke’ Makes A Request To Santa
Kelly Clarkson kept the Christmas spirit alive on Thursday (Dec. 15) by performing “Santa Can’t You Hear Me,” her 2021 holiday song, to kick off The Kelly Clarkson Show.
While she enlisted pal Ariana Grade for the studio version from her second Christmas album When Christmas Comes Around…, the talk show host chose to sing the ditty solo, singing, “Santa can’t you hear me?/ Oh, I don’t need a thing/ I sent a letter to you/ On how to make my dreams come true, oh yeah/ Keep the mistletoe/ Unless below, is what I need/ Oh Santa, can’t you hear me?”
Clarkson’s solo “Kellyoke” performance is the latest in a string of her own holiday originals, following “Merry Christmas (To the One I Used to Know)” and “Christmas Isn’t Canceled (Just You)” earlier this week. Before that, she handed the mic to Jewel, who delivered a stirring, jazz-inflected rendition of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” while Clarkson was out with COVID.
Clarkson has been in a giving mood on her show lately, thanks to her ongoing holiday gift guide. She gave every member of her studio audience an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii, including airfare to and from the islands, on Wednesday’s episode.
The superstar is set to return to Season 23 of The Voice in the new year, after taking a season off for the first time since joining the show as a coach in Season 14. Blake Shelton, who is leaving The Voice after this season, will join her, as will rookie coaches Niall Horan and Chance The Rapper.
