Kelly Clarkson's Rock Cover of Madonna's "Lucky Star" Features Her Edgiest Belting Yet
Clarkson covered the iconic Madonna track for a Kellyoke segment on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Kelly Clarkson threw it back to the '80s pop scene with an October 2023 Kellyoke.
On October 26, Clarkson sang an early Madonna hit called "Lucky Star" and totally made it her own.
During her cover, Clarkson grooved to the upbeat rhythm, and pulled off some powerful belts during the bridge. And as always, the background singers meshed with her voice perfectly, and the sound of her band was totally on point.
