Could you imagine the opportunity to hear one of the most powerful singers of a generation perform in an intimate studio surrounded by their most talented collaborators and friends? Well, that’s no longer just a figment of your imagination, it’s actually happening in Kelly Clarkson’s latest residency, Studio Sessions, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Made to look like a recording studio, the set is warm and welcoming with plenty of chic mid-century modern furnishings, wood paneling and homey decor. And what really transforms this show into a studiolike experience is how Clarkson’s crew uses the set. There are more than 20 musicians featured, and when an instrumentalist or backup vocalist isn’t included in a song, rather than disappearing backstage, they sit and mingle on the stage as they would during breaks in a recording sesh.

The more casual, laid-back feel of the show is accented by Clarkson’s personal anecdotes and interactions with her fellow entertainers. It’s all very uplifting and personal, letting the audience feel like they’ve gotten a glimpse of the star’s life. For much of the set, she even sings into her favorite mic to record on.

And of course, you’re going to hear all the hits, from “Walk Away” and “Behind These Hazel Eyes” to “Because of You” and “Stronger.” But Clarkson also sprinkles in some hits from her most recent album, chemistry, like “me” and “favorite kind of high,” as well as some covers. After all, how could the icon skip an opportunity for some Kellyoke after repeatedly showing the world how masterfully she can perform songs other than her own on her popular talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show?

Audience members got to enjoy a stunning rendition of “I Will Always Love You” on opening night, while another show witnessed an impressive performance of The Beatles’ “Come Together.” What the songstress will pull out at these upcoming shows remains to be seen, but you’ll certainly want to be there when she does.
