Cher Praises Kelly Clarkson for Nailing Her Version of ‘DJ Play a Christmas Song’

Cher is loving Kelly Clarkson’s talent just as much as the rest of us!

The “Believe” icon took to X (previously known as Twitter) on Tuesday (Dec. 19) to gush over Clarkson’s recent Kellyoke cover of “DJ Play a Christmas Song” on the latter’s eponymous talk show. “KELLY,,,,U ACED IT,” she wrote. U GOT THE GIRL VERSION OF MY VOICE. BABE, I AM OUT OF MY MIND OVER UR VERSION.. THE MODULATION GAVE ME …I DONT KNOW, I JUST LOST MY MIND. SISTER U GOT IT.”

Cher released “DJ Play a Christmas Song” as the lead single from Christmas, her first holiday album. “DJ Play a Christmas Song” topped the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart last month — giving Cher a Billboard chart-topper in the last seven decades — while its parent album, Christmas, debuted atop Billboard‘s Top Holiday Albums chart earlier this month.

Clarkson herself also has a holiday album, 2021’s When Christmas Comes Around, which arrived eight years after her 2013 album, Wrapped in Red. Her festive hit, “Underneath the Tree,” returned to the Holiday 100 top 10 this year at No. 9. The song, which Clarkson co-wrote with Greg Kurstin, was the lead single from her first Christmas album, 2013’s Wrapped in Red. It has so far peaked at No. 8 on the Holiday 100, in 2014.
