Kelly Clarkson is belting out an Etta James classic for her Kellyoke pick on Juneteenth!

The 38-year-old singer performed “I’d Rather Go Blind” on Friday (June 19) on The Kelly Clarkson Show. The caption on the YouTube video says that “Kelly chose this song by a prominent black recording artist in recognition of Juneteenth.”

On Kelly‘s talk show, she covers a different song every day and usually has audience members pick the songs. Now that she doesn’t have an audience during at-home episodes, she is picking the songs and this one definitely had special meaning.

Some very big (and very happy) news for Kelly was announced earlier this week. It’s a huge accomplishment that she should be very proud of!
