During what is sure to be one of the most popular segments, Kelly belted out tunes, calling them "Kellyoke." Her cover of “What Makes You Beautiful” was energetic and had the audience on their feet.

Since starting her day time television show, the singer has been more vocal about her opinions on different subjects. Recently, Clarkson said she has had it with the country music that is being played on the radio nowadays. She claims it isn’t country music and is more of rap/talk-singing. Clarkson ranted about it on her Youtube channel recently says Rolling Stone, and a lot of commenters agreed with her.

Kelly Clarkson sounded off about the genre during a Q&A on her youtube channel. Clarkson was asked if she knew what the term “farm emo” meant. This term means country music genre itself however, Clarkson thought it meant “a very sad country person.” Once she discovered the true meaning of the term Clarkson hit back with,

“You know why? Because country music doesn’t sound country anymore, so they’re making up terms to be like, ‘This is country.’ Country music is gone. I don’t know who’s making it, but there might be like four people.”

One of Kelly’s biggest problems with what she believes country music has become is the talk/rapping that is now in so many songs played on country music stations. “I don’t want to feel like I’m at some weird rock show where they start rapping,” said Clarkson, although the singer didn’t name any artists who were doing this. 

“Why are you rapping in country music? I don’t understand it. I mean, let’s be progressive, I get it, but come on. And it’s not just one. It’s a lot of y’all. And it’s bad.”

From singer to entertainer and television host, is there anything that Kelly Clarkson can not take on?
