The backlash over where Kellyoke covers are being released.

When Kelly Clarkson got her own talk show in 2019, it didn’t mean the American Idol winner’s singing days were over. She starts every episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show doing karaoke covers (AKA Kellyoke) of trending songs that sound like gold coming from her lips. Now, those Kellyoke covers are finally being released, however, the fanbase was quick to note how upset they are about where you can get the songs.

One of the best aspects of The Kelly Clarkson Show is Kellyoke and getting a mini-concert that includes your favorite songs sung by the pop singer herself. Just when you thought Kellyoke covers could only be heard on the NBC series or via YouTube clips, Clarkson tweeted the new location for her covers:

There you have it. Kellyoke covers will now be heard on Kelly Clarkson’s new SiriusXM channel, Clarkson Connection. Launched in November 2023, the “Breakaway” singer uses this radio platform to play favorite tracks from other musicians that have inspired her as well as stories of her own best songs.

While the Kellyoke release news may be music to the ears of SiriusXM subscribers, non-subscribers to the radio broadcasting company aren’t exactly happy about this. @JaviHA92 had a better idea for where the Kellyoke covers should be, posting:

We need them on Spotify 🥺🙏

I can understand the need for the best Kellyoke covers to be heard on Spotify. After all, a February Forbes report said Spotify got 10 million paid subscribers last quarter contributing to a total of 236 million. SiriusXM actually reported a loss of 94,000 radio subscribers. Even though Spotify is the more popular streaming platform, it makes sense for her songs to end up on her own SiriusXM station.

However, fans are still upset, as @thatssodavid_ posted about another obstacle the songs’ location presents:

And nothing for international fans as always 😒

According to SiriusXM’s official website, the radio streaming service is only available in the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Canada through SiriusXM Canada Inc. So, that would mean fans outside of those countries would miss out on hearing remastered hits of possible songs like her Katy Perry cover of “Wide Awake”, her version of Keith Urban’s “Somebody Like You.” or her many Miley Cyrus covers.
