country music, she is a Texas girl, of course, and she often covers country songs on her show during the Kellyoke segment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"OPv4L9NY\"><\/div>\n<p>She\u2019s nailed renditions of songs like \u201cTennessee Whiskey\u201d and \u201cBlue Eyes Crying In The Rain,\u201d and this week, she did a jaw-dropping cover of The Red Clay Strays song \u201cNo One Else Like Me,\u201d which was included on their 2024 breakout album,\u00a0<em>Made by These Moments<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the band has been on a rocket ship to the moon over the last three years or so, which has found them winning awards like Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2024 Americana Awards, New Vocal Duo or Group at the 2025 ACM Awards and scoring a 3x platinum certification from the Recording Industry

mainstream alike with their huge night at the 59th annual CMA Awards, delivering a killer performance of their current single, \u201cPeople Hatin\u2019,\u201d before dethroning Old Dominion as Vocal Group of the Year en route to their\u00a0<strong>first-ever CMA win.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been incredible to watch their quick rise to the forefront of mainstream country music, and this is obviously just the beginning, and even more big career accomplishments are already on the slate for them, as they will play two massive shows at both\u00a0Madison Square Garden and The Bridgestone Arena, in addition to putting out a new album coming in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>RCS frontman Brandon Coleman could out-sing almost anyone, and we all know what a powerhouse vocalist Clarkson has always been, so she is the perfect person for any Red Clay Strays song, and obviously she blew it out of the water, so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly she\u2019s a fan of their music, and I honestly think they would do an incredible job if they ever teamed up for a song\u2026 these are the kinds of artists we need doing collabs\u2026 people who can sing their behinds off.<\/p>\n<p>This is simply flawless,
