Kelly Clarkson has always had a knack for delivering amazing covers. She first shared her talent with the world on "American Idol" in 2002, and 20 years later she continues to shine on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," delivering memorable renditions of everything from "Stay With Me" from Sam Smith to Lady Gaga.
