Her hair, however, was the highlight as “The Voice” coach rocked a dramatic, gigantic, bright red hair and matching red lipstick. Clarkson was not alone as she had her two backup singers dressed in matching witch outfits.

Kelly’s voice shone brightly as she hit all the possible notes while performing for her audience. Instead of going for Midler’s version of the hit song, Clarkson mesmerizes fans with the original mid-‘50s time by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.

While giving her rendition of her song, Clarkson walked among the cheering crowd and ended with a bang staring intensely at the camera.
