Kelly Clarkson's latest Kellyoke cover is giving her fans all the feels.

The singer and talk show host took on an '80s Phil Collins classic for her Kellyoke performance on the Monday, Feb. 23 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, delivering an effortlessly smooth version of his 1986 hit "Take Me Home."

"Take Me Home" was the last single off Collins' No Jacket Required album, released as a U.S. single in 1986. It spent a total of 16 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 7 in May of that year.

40 years later, fans seem to think that Clarkson has definitely done the song justice.

One commenter on Instagram called Clarkson's performance "An outstanding rendition of Phil’s timeless classic," while someone else said the cover gave them "FULL BODY CHILLS! 🔥🔥🔥"

"Brilliant! One of the best Kellyoke’s 👏🏽" another user gushed.

Another user wrote "Phil Collins + Kelly Clarkson = Absolute POP PERFECTION!" while others implored that Clarkson sing "more Phil" songs.

"Not many people can cover Phil Collins but this was brilliant ❤️❤️" someone else declared. While many fans were delighted to hear a new Kellyoke cover, it was bittersweet for some who say they're going to miss the performances when The Kelly ClarksonShow ends after its current season.

"Girl!!!!! You simply cannot take Kellyoke away from us!!!" one user commented under Monday's video, while another begged, "Kelly, please don't go!"

Clarkson confirmed earlier this month that her eponymous talk show would be ending after 7 years on NBC.

Noting that it "was not an easy decision" to end the show, Clarkson explained in a statement on Instagram that she is aiming to spend more time with her two kids, RiverRose, 11 and Remington "Remy" Alexander, 9, whose father, Brandon Blackstock, died in August 2025.

"This isn’t goodbye," she promised in her Feb. 2 post. "But for now, I want to thank y’all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years."
