Whether you like it our not, it’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” season. Mariah Carey spends the end of October preparing us for this moment. So if you happened to see Kelly Clarkson announce her new Christmas track “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” it would have been totally within reason to think, “Oh man, I bet she actually does that Mariah Carey song justice.” And while Clarkson likely could go toe-to-toe with Carey in performing her 1994 classic, this is not that. This is not that at all. Clarkson has actually covered the song of the same name from novelty act Vince Vance & the Valiants. Originally released in 1989 with lead vocals from Lisa Burgess Stewart (also known as Lisa Layne), the song first charted on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks list after it got a music video in 1993. The song only got more popular over time, charting even higher on that same list at the turn of the century. (Admittedly, it likely benefited from sharing the name with Carey’s song, which was released a year after the Vince Vance video and continues to chart every year.) “I have been singing Vince Vance & the Valiants’ song ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ since I was a little kid,” Clarkson says in the press notes sent along with the single release Friday. “I always loved that it’s a ballad but the woman always sounded so rock n’ roll with her raspy tone on the big notes. It has an old school vibe and is a little pop, country, and rock n’ roll.”

Members of The Kelly Clarkson Show staff tested positive for the novel coronavirus this week, PEOPLE can confirm.
Individuals on the production team of the syndicated talk show received positive results on Friday during a routine test as part of the show's COVID-19 safety protocols, Deadline first reported.
The positive tests also prompted contact tracing and retesting, both of which are included in guidelines set by the state/county and the NBCU Production Playbook.
Clarkson's talk show last filmed on Thursday. Production will resume next week on Nov. 17 pending results from the retesting.
Several other TV shows and movies have faced similar issues recently as the number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. continues to rise.
Earlier this week, NBC’s Chicago Fire paused production for two weeks following multiple positive COVID-19 tests. Out of an abundance of caution, production on season 9 of NBC drama was halted as the affected individuals closely interact with other members of the cast and crew.
The news of the positive tests came nearly a month after Chicago Fire's fellow series, Chicago Med, also stopped production for two weeks after a crew member tested positive for COVID-19.
The one Chicago franchise, along with most other TV shows and films, first halted production at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March. In recent months, however, production has begun to resume for many projects with various safety protocols in place, including frequent testing.

Kelly Clarkson has opened up about the experience of other celebrities being "rude" and "mean" to her in the early phase of her career because they looked down on the way she broke into the industry. But despite clearly having bags of talent, Kelly has now revealed that many celebrities she encountered at the time were rude and dismissive of her because of the show. Kelly made the revelation during a conversation with Jennifer Love Hewitt on The Kelly Clarkson Show, where the singer expressed her gratitude at how friendly Jennifer had been when they first met.
