Kelly Clarkson Covers "You're No Good" By Linda Ronstadt during 'Kellyoke.'
Courtesy PhotoKelly Clarkson kicked off the Tuesday (Dec. 7) episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show with a sultry version of Linda Ronstadt‘s “You’re No Good.”
Wearing a printed blue-and-red dress, America’s original Idol powered through the 1974 classic with support from a trio of backing vocalists. “Feelin’ better now that we’re through/ Feelin’ better, ’cause I’m over you/ I learned my lesson, it left a scar/ Now I see how you really are/ You’re no good/ You’re no good/ You’re no good/ Baby, you’re no good,” she sang on the first verse and chorus.
Clarkson’s able tackling of Ronstadt’s smash hit, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1975, follows her recent and varied “Kellyoke” covers of Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings,” Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind?” and “Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance — as well as her very own NBC holiday special, Kelly Clarkson Presents: When Christmas Comes Around.
The hour-long festivity featured the pop star performing numerous tracks off her latest holiday-themed studio set, also titled When Christmas Comes Around…, including duets with Grande (“Santa, Can’t You Hear Me”), Brett Eldredge (“Under the Mistletoe”) and Leslie Odom, Jr. (“O Holy Night”).
The “Underneath the Tree” singer also teamed up with Grande last week to give fans an epic tease of Jimmy Fallon’s new musical variety show, That’s My Jam. Facing off against her collaborator and fellow The Voice judge, Clarkson put her ample “Kellyoke” skills to use by covering a rapid-fire round of pop diva mainstays such as Shania Twain’s “Any Man of Mine,” Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know” and Toni Braxton’s “Unbreak My Heart.”

Metallica bassist Jason Newsted says he is now “free and clear” after facing throat cancer.
The 63 year old musician, who played with the Enter Sandman legends from 1986 through 2001, has shared details of his diagnosis publicly for the first time. He explained that doctors discovered it early, and on May 8, 2025 he “underwent a procedure” to treat the condition.
Speaking on the Let There Be Talk podcast, he said: “They took a bunch of s*** outta here and then they went in with lasers this way and took a bunch of s*** out.
“So the cavern inside my head is different than it was, but we got it early. And I got my ‘free and clear’ about three weeks ago. So I beat it.”
Jason contributed to several of Metallica’s most iconic releases, including 1988’s ...And Justice For All, their self titled 1991 album, 1996’s Load, the 1997 follow up Reload, and 1998’s Garage Inc.
After going through his cancer experience, the bassist made a point to slow down and actually give himself time to recover instead of constantly pushing forward.
He explained: “I promised myself I was going to rest, and that was the first time I’ve done that in my life.
"I’m usually just on or off. And so I promised myself I was gonna take the gravity off and lay down for the right amount of hours."
The health scare also led Jason to give up smoking weed and drinking alcohol, something he admits he likely would not have done otherwise.
He added: “The great spirit got my attention and said, ‘That’s not good right now, man.’ And so it pulled me off it.
"And so now I’m more clear-headed than I’ve been in my entire adult life. And so there’s blessings within everything. The lemonade I’m making this summer, bro — mm. Sweet. Ooh.”
Jason has previously said that his unexpected departure ultimately helped Metallica continue moving forward, while James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich later admitted they struggled to process his decision at the time.
Lars told Apple Music in 2021: “Jason is the only member of Metallica who has ever left willingly. And that in itself is a statistic.
"And the resentment from James and I was just so… 'You can’t do that. You can only leave if we want you to leave'.
"And then we weren’t equipped at the time to do a deep dive into why he was leaving. So of course, now you can see 20 years later, it makes complete sense.”
