Kelly Clarkson: she's just like us. She loses her lip gloss and isn't the best at baking. But can
she really mess up singing? Keep watching for some of our favorite Kelly Clarkson bloopers.
"I'm so nervous for what's about to come out of my mouth."
It's probably safe to say that Kelly Clarkson is a better singer, talk show host,
talent show judge, mom, and songwriter than she is a mathematician or meteorologist.
The star had us in stitches in a hilarious outtake from 2019 when she was promoting
"The Kelly Clarkson Show" in local markets by trying her hand at reading the weather.
"So, I've got your five-day forecast. This means ten, though."
Yeah, it does, Kel. 10 fingers means 10, not five. In the words of the star herself, just walk away.
Unlike the six-year-old kid who appeared on her show in 2021 after his adorable
weather reports became an internet sensation, Clarkson probably won't
be adding "weatherperson" to her already very long resume.
Sorry, Kelly Clarkson, but we just had to put this apology overload
in. It turns out the pop queen has a bit of a hard time not saying sorry.
She made it very clear in another hilarious blooper series from "The Kelly Clarkson Show."
"Oh, sorry. Oh! Sorry. Wait, did he action? I'm sorry, wait, we'll do it again, sorry."
We did the math so you don't have to: "The Voice" coach actually says the word
"sorry" four times in just 6 seconds in this equal part hilarious and delightful outtake.
What's even funnier was when she admitted that she'd received a particularly ironic book.
"I literally just received a book from some writer that says, "Quit Apologizing". *laughs*
She may be trying to cut back on the apologies, but thankfully,
that didn't stop her from taking Justin Bieber's "Sorry" to Kellyoke in 2020.
Even when making somewhat diva-ish demands, Kelly Clarkson remains down to earth.
She proved her humble persona during a video taken from the set of "The Voice" in 2020.
In the clip Clarkson made a video call to her assistant and requested a couple of things.
"Hi! Do you mind bringing me my tea? And my.. Or wait. Where is my tea?"
"Did I bring you the wrong one?" "Or wait did you, oh no! My tea is here, sorry!"
Oops. But that wasn't all.
"Lip gloss!" "It's in the pocket, is it not?"
"Oh is it? Did it fall out? Wait.” “If it’s not I have another one.”
“Oh, I don't think it's in here." ]
The trouble with lip gloss is... well, it can slip into the smallest of places.
"Oh no! It's here, it's here, it's here! I missed it!”
Lip gloss and tea drama aside, working for Clarkson definitely has its perks.
On one episode of her talk show, for example, the pop superstar surprised
longtime assistant Tricia Farrow with Super Bowl tickets. Talk about a touchdown.
Okay, so DMV and hilarity rarely go together,
but bear with us on this one because it's worth a watch when you throw Kelly Clarkson into the
mix. The star seriously got the giggles in an October 2020 clip as she read out
a story about a Tennessee woman who had a bit of an issue with her driver's license.
Clarkson — who was wearing an eye patch after injuring
her eye on the set of "The Voice" — set the scene.
"When it came time to get her driver's license renewed,
a woman in Tennessee decided to save herself a dreaded trip to the DMV by renewing online."
So far so good right?
"But once her license showed up in the mail,
she noticed something was off with her photo. In fact, she wasn't in the photo at all." *laughs*
Clarkson was unable to stop herself as she cracked up at the mishap, pretty much tearing up as she
called the mistake “just awesome”. The hilarity is definitely not missing from this Clarkson clip.
Kelly Clarkson and Celine Dion have a few things in common. They're the owners of two
of the most powerful singing voices ever, awesome moms, have Las Vegas residencies,
sold millions of records, won hundreds of awards... you get what we're saying.
Which brings us to the time Clarkson couldn't get Dion's name right for... no clear reason.
"I gave Marisa and Ryan Celine Dion - *clears throat*, sorry."
This outtake went down on Season 19 of "The Voice" when Clarkson explained during a piece
to camera that she chose the song "I Surrender" for contestants Marisa Corvo and Ryan Gallagher.
"I can't… Dion. I can't, I can't Dionnn, *gibberish*
I don't know what's happening. Uhm, or Dijon? What was I saying? I don't know."
Even if Clarkson may not know how to say Dion's name sometimes,
the two happen to be fans of one another. In May 2019, Dion shared an adorable snap of
them together on Twitter, to which Clarkson replied, calling her "amazing!" She added:
"Getting to meet her & realize that not only is she possibly the most gifted vocalist on
the planet but that she's also a comedian & sweet & warm & kind is something me,
my friends, & family will remember always!"
You'd be forgiven if you assumed Kelly Clarkson has never hit a bum note.
The star is pretty much always pitch perfect with that stunning powerhouse voice of hers, so it's
not all that surprising that on the off chance the talented star misses a note, it becomes big news.
In a hilarious video she posted to Twitter in April 2017,
Clarkson made a not-so-nice noise, and it made for fantastic content. Not unlike
the rest of us singing in the shower, Clarkson accidentally hit a rough note.
*Sings wrong note* "Whew! *laughs*
Just loop it back, just loop it back" *Wrong note loops*
Nailed it or not, one Twitter user wrote, quote, "Still Grammy worthy." Another said
they planned to use the sound as an alarm clock ringtone. Even when she whiffs a note, she wins.
"Do it again." “Sounds like it could be a ringtone.”
*Wrong note comes on again* *Laughs*
Kelly Clarkson is no stranger to Christmas cheer. The star released her first Christmas album,
"Wrapped In Red," back in 2013 and dropped her second, "When Christmas Comes Around...," in 2021.
The star loves Christmas so much that she even appeared in her very own Holiday
special called "Kelly Clarkson's Cautionary Christmas Music Tale''.
It also happened to coincide with her first festive release.
While you might assume that she's got a knack for all things yuletide,
a holiday segment she taped for "The Voice" in 2020 suggests otherwise.
In the clip, she tried to build a gingerbread house. "Tried" being the operative word.
"Stick that in there. And then you-" *laughs*
After a few failed efforts, she admitted defeat. But no bother.
"Uh, we can clean off her hands…" "Okay. I'm on it."
Funny enough, in a 2019 "The Kelly Clarkson Show" clip,
she seemed to have slightly better luck building a gingerbread house while
wearing tiny toy hands on her fingers. "Slightly" being the operative word.
Ah, one of those age-old, unanswerable questions: Is a violin the same as a fiddle?
This debate was enough to get Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton a little playfully heated.
This happened back in March 2020 when Clarkson admitted she thought they were
two different instruments. Country boy Shelton fell very much on the other end
of the argument and wasn't afraid to set Clarkson straight. This all went
down during Mandi Castillo's stunning Blind Audition on "The Voice" Season 18.
"I heard a fiddle, and that's a little bit country."
"I think it was a violin, but." "Good point Kelley,
it's the exact same instrument." "No it's not! Because I played the violin!"
So, what's the verdict? Well, it looks like Shelton won this round. As Dictionary.com put it:
"The words fiddle and violin are two names for the same stringed instrument—fiddle
is just an informal way of referring to the violin."
Kelly Clarkson has won three seasons of "The Voice" since joining the NBC series in 2018,
and there's been at least one Battle Round she thought she won.
Clarkson suffered an embarrassing moment during a May 2020 episode of "The Voice" when she
tried to steal Blake Shelton's team member Todd Michael Hall during the Battle Rounds.
Hall lost the sing-off and was eliminated... or was he? Under "The Voice" rules,
Shelton could use his one Save of the season and keep Hall in the competition, or another coach
could use a Steal to bring him aboard their team. And well, in this particular instance…
*Both buttons are hit* "Whoa!"
"No, you got the save." "Was she going to steal?"
Clarkson used her Steal, but a split second after Shelton used his Save. That meant Hall
stayed on Team Shelton, but Clarkson assumed her move was what prompted all of the fanfare.
"Wow." "What happened?"
"I was always going to do it! I was being dramatic."
"You're a little late. Blake got the save."
"Look up to the sky!" "Wait, what!"
Goofing up from time to time is just part of the gig,
apparently. As "The Voice" newcomer Ariana Grande said on Clarkson's talk show,
she's made a habit of DMing her team members — which is evidently a no-no.
Here's your warning: This one's a little NSFW.
Gwyneth Paltrow left Kelly Clarkson pretty much unable to continue on
with a taping of "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in March 2021. All Kell broke loose after
the Goop founder decided to let the "American Idol" legend in on one of her favorite tunes.
"What are some songs you go to when you're down?"
"Wet Ass P----" *Laughing ensues*
Yes, rather than go with the acronym we all know, the Oscar winner decided to say the
full title of the Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion song. A clearly stunned Clarkson
proceeded to fall and flail all over her set, scream-laughing all the way.
"I was like, Oh!, Wait what? *laughs* That was amazing!"
Between cackles, the host called the actor her "favorite guest this season."
Clarkson also tweeted after the episode aired:
"I was NOT expecting that. I'm still laughing at this, @gwynethpaltrow!"
Hold on to your hats... and your spinning chairs, apparently. In an episode of "The Voice" that
aired in March 2020, Kelly Clarkson almost toppled off of her seat following Samuel Wilco's audition.
The "American Idol" winner was so impressed with the contestant's rendition of Stevie
Wonder's "Lately" that she almost got injured...
"Woooo!" *Screams as chair turns* "Ya'll quit messin' with me!"
"Uh Ohh, it's a chair malfunction!" "I'm in heels!"
This would not be Clarkson's last memorable furniture moment on the show. In Season 21,
she all but toppled out of her chair when the Cunningham Sisters joined her team.
How long before the show installs seat belts?
Carafe, giraffe — they're pretty much the same thing,
right? Well, they kind of are in Kelly Clarkson's world, at least.
As anyone who watches "The Kelly Clarkson Show" knows,
the host will get tripped up while reading the teleprompter from time to time. Yes, the Texas
native occasionally has trouble getting her words out. Hey, it happens to the best of us... just not
in front of millions of at home viewers, a large crew, several TV cameras, and a live audience.
For example, when the word "carafe" came up on her teleprompter? Well,
let's just say she had a hard time…
"I'm not fancy, I just say coffee brewer or something. Cah- what?
Carafe? Like a giraffe? I don't, I don't speak in that."
Other highlights include her attempts at "Magic Mike" star Joe Manganiello's surname as well as
the word "reboot". Moments like this are why we love Kelly Clarkson. She told The New York Times:
"I'm never going to be Whitney Houston — I'm never going to be Cyndi Lauper, Reba or Trisha
or Mariah… I'm going to be me. I think that's fine. There's room for everyone at the table."
Hopefully, there aren't any chair malfunctions at that table.
