Kelly Clarksonis once again proving she can sing any genre.
On Monday’s episode ofTheKelly ClarksonShow, the 40-year-old pop superstar belted out a piano cover ofFaith Hill’s “Breathe” for the NBC talk show’s dailyKellyokesegment.
Donning a simple, knee-length black dress with tights and black leather boots, Clarkson stood alongsideTheKelly ClarksonShowmusic director Jason Halbert on piano to perform the 1999 country hit single’s introduction and first verse. As she led into the explosive and catchy chorus of “Breathe,” her full band and backup singers joined in and filled out the sound.
Another YouTube user complimented Clarkson’s ability to seamlessly execute different sounds with her vocal talents. “Kelly singing country is an another level, so is pop, rock, soul and every freaking genre,” they wrote.
Last week, Clarkson performed covers of “When You Wish Upon a Star” fromPinocchioalongside Cynthia Erivo as well as Anita Ward’s “Ring My Bell,” Scissor Sisters' “I Don’t Feel Like Dancing” and more during the Kellyoke segment.

Additionally, whenBlake Sheltonappeared onThe Kelly Clarkson Showlast week, the two superstar musicians performed a casual and heartfelt acoustic duet of Shelton’s 2001 debut single, “Austin.”
In aclip from the interview, theAmerican Idolalum said she’d like to duet the two-times platinum-certified hit single and asked Shelton, 46, to start playing the tune on his guitar. “I’ve never heard you sing on this show, so that’s cool,” he joked to Clarkson.
As Shelton started strumming the song’s opening guitar part, he exclaimed, “Holy crap, I played it!”
He sang the first verse, “She left without leavin' a number / Said she needed to clear her mind / He figured she’d gone back to Austin / ‘Cause she talked about it all the time / It was almost a year before she called him up / Three rings and an answering machine is what she got.”
Clarkson then harmonized with Shelton during the song’s chorus: “If your callin’ ‘bout the car, I sold it / If this is Tuesday night, I’m bowlin’ / If you’ve got somethin' to sell your wastin' your time, I’m not buyin' / If it’s anybody else wait for the tone you know what to do / And P.S., if this is Austin, I still love you.”
