"Mariah Carey might be the current queen of Christmas, but Kelly Clarkson may soon give her a run for her holiday money.
One week after releasing “When Christmas Comes Around...Again” — the deluxe edition of her 2021 holiday album — Clarkson‘s unmistakable vocals appeared on a holiday song by the music legend that is Cher.
The track is called, “DJ Play A Christmas Song,” and Cher originally released it in October 2023. But something happened after its release that likely influenced the “Believe” singer’s future steps: Clarkson sang a rendition of the song in December 2023 during the “Kellyoke” segment of her talk show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show.
It‘s not uncommon for Clarkson to absolutely crush a cover of any given artist’s songs. She‘s known for making other’s tracks sound better during “Kellyoke” — even if the original artist has a goosebump-inducing vocal ability.
So it‘s no surprise that the song’s original artist, Cher, would take notice of Clarkson‘s performance. Some artists might be jealous of the first-ever “American Idol” winner’s singing talent. But Cher is not “some artist.”
Shortly after Clarkson’s 2023 performance of “DJ Play A Christmas Song,” Cher gave the TV host and singer her flowers.
“KELLY,,,,U ACED IT,” Cher wrote on social media at the time. “U GOT THE GIRL.VERSION OF MY VOICE. BABE, I AM OUT OF MY MIND OVER UR VERSION. THE MODULATION GAVE ME … I DONT KNOW, I JUST LOST MY MIND SISTER U GOT IT."
Cher clearly was impressed by Clarkson’s performance of her hit Christmas song, a track that also landed Cher on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time since 2002. So impressed, that she invited Clarkson to join her on the remix of “DJ Play A Christmas Song.”
The addition of Clarkson’s vocals on the track gives it a new feel without changing the original, club-centric nature of the song. Who knows, maybe the version featuring Clarkson will find its way to the Billboard Hot 100 again." - lonestarlive.com
