After Kelly Clarkson welcomed the Jonas Brothers to NBC’s Songs & Tales final week within the 2025 TV schedule, none aside from Gloria Estefan joined the primary American Idol champion this week to speak about her life and profession. Having seen the On Your Toes! jukebox musical based mostly on her story, I used to be excited to listen to from the music legend herself and, after all, hear her duet with Clarkson. I wasn’t upset by how unbelievable the 2 ladies sounded collectively, however I wasn’t ready for the awestruck look on Clarkson’s face that I completely love.
The 2 ladies carried out a number of songs collectively throughout Gloria Estefan’s installment of Songs & Tales, which will probably be out there streaming subsequent day with a Peacock subscription. Kelly Clarkson shared that the tune she was most excited for was “Mi Tierra” (regardless of being nervous that she’d screw up the Spanish lyrics), and “Get On Your Toes” was the primary of the episode. I used to be ready for the primary to be my favourite, however then the 2 divas received to “Flip the Beat Round” and received my coronary heart for the night time.
Like Kelly Clarkson, I additionally did not understand that “Flip the Beat Round” had been carried out by Vicki Sue Robinson earlier than Gloria Estefan recorded her personal model. The ladies’s voices melded fantastically, and I might like to have all of their duets launched simply to hearken to on repeat. For “Flip the Beat Round,” their efficiency additionally must be seen to be totally appreciated with Estefan’s husband and household sitting within the viewers. Have a look:

Kelly Clarkson’s expressions could also be considerably understated as a TV and music professional, however she appeared extra awestruck by Estefan than she was by the Jonas Brothers final week regardless of them performing the tune that mentions her title. She additionally appeared extra comfy singing with the music legend for “Flip the Beat Round,” after showing just a little stiffer throughout “On Your Toes” as their first tune of the night time. All in all, I discovered it very endearing to see THE Kelly Clarkson wanting like she could not consider her luck to carry out with Gloria Estefan. She was even up out of her seat on the very finish.
Since Clarkson has been demonstrating her versatility as a singer along with her “Kellyoke” segments on her discuss present and even her Las Vegas residency, seeing her sing on Songs & Tales was simply pretty. So far as I am involved, her voice blended splendidly with Estefan’s, and I am undecided that any of the remaining visitors may do any higher because the four-part sequence continues. However we are able to discover out!
The following episode of Songs & Tales airs on Tuesday, September 2 at 10 p.m. ET on NBC, with Kelly Clarkson welcoming Teddy Swims onto the stage, presumably to interrupt down his profession and switch a few of his largest hits into duets. The fourth and ultimate installment will showcase Lizzo.
