NBC has been filling among the final weeks earlier than the autumn lineup of the 2025 TV schedule picks up with Songs & Tales with Kelly Clarkson, however I positively would not describe the four-part sequence as “filler.” The primary three episodes featured the daytime speak present host interviewing fellow music legends about their lives and careers, beginning with The Jonas Brothers, transferring on with Gloria Estefan, and most lately persevering with with Teddy Swims. Swims and Clarkson dueted on a number of of his songs, and people performances depart me wanting one factor by the tip of Songs & Tales. I want an album of all these duets!
I loved seeing Clarkson singing with The Jonas Brothers much more than their story of Nick’s “brutal” damage, and fell in love with how her voice melded with Gloria Estefan’s. I wasn’t as accustomed to Teddy Swims previous to the newest episode of Songs & Tales (which might be accessible streaming with a Peacock subscription), so I wasn’t fairly positive what to anticipate. Suffice it to say that I used to be very pleased with the completed product! The pair dueted on “The Door,” “Some Issues I am going to By no means Know,” “Rock With You,” and “God Went Loopy.”
NBC’s Instagram submit of “The Door” efficiency known as me out by figuring out it as “your latest obsession.” In all seriousness, have a look:
I knew Kelly Clarkson may cowl just about any style because of her “Kellyoke” performances, but it surely’s nonetheless been type of wonderful to see how properly she will mix with different artists. The fourth and ultimate visitor of Songs & Tales might be Lizzo, so viewers have another probability to see Clarkson adapting her voice to a different artist’s.
And dang it, I would like to have a full album of Kelly Clarkson’s duets from all 4 episodes of Songs & Tales! Even when the songs have been now not than the smaller segments which might be featured on the present, I would most likely have them on repeat. As anyone who watched Kelly Clarkson on American Idol as a teen again within the day, I really like seeing how far she’s gone within the trade, and the way nice she sounds with different artists.
I am not holding out hope for such an album, since absolutely there are quite a lot of hoops to leap via to deliver all of those artists collectively for one completed product, however I’ll no less than cross my fingers slightly additional tightly that these first 4 episodes of Songs & Tales might be sufficient of a hit on NBC that the community orders a second season.
Clarkson did step away from the limelight (and The Voice) in August as a result of loss of life of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, suspending her Las Vegas reveals to be together with her household in such a tough time. For now, we are able to all sit up for the fourth and ultimate episode of Songs & Tales with Kelly Clarkson, that includes Lizzo. It stays to be seen whether or not the 2 artists will contact on any of the controversies in Lizzo’s profession, however I really feel snug predicting one factor: any duets will sound nice.
