Song of the Day #5,955: ‘Dancing Queen’ – Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson’s Kellyoke performances are often faithful to the style of the original, but once in awhile she pulls out a new arrangement of an old classic with wonderful results.

That’s what she did in April of 2022 when she turned ABBA’s disco anthem ‘Dancing Queen’ into a tender piano ballad, wringing raw emotion out of the upbeat tune.

This reminds me a bit of A-Ha’s gorgeous Unplugged version of ‘Take One Me’. It’s a reminder that the very best pop songs work just as well when stripped down to their essential elements.

    Nice version. Just heard it performed less beautifully but much more fun at karaoke last night on the cruise.🤪
