Kelly Clarkson and Ben Platt #MusicMonday

I love a good reinvention. Which is what Kelly Clarkson does on virtually every episode of her (now award-winning) daytime talk show when she covers songs for her Kellyoke segments. She sings lots of other hit songs, putting her spin to them each and every time.

Which is something I admire. I love taking something and making it my own and hopefully even sometimes making it better. Reinvention is something I strive for constantly…particularly at work. It keeps me focused on continuous improvement as well, which is a must in a world that is continually shifting and pivoting and changing from under our feet.

The song she did a few months ago with Broadway and television talent Ben Platt is just that…a reinvention of a classic Bob Dylan song. They completely gave it a make-over and IMHO made it even better.

The singing! Wow! If only…

This cover, this Kellyoke inspires me. Inspires me to do better, and to change, and to reinvent. All the time. Even in a lockdown!
