Rather than copy the original recording, she brought her own phrasing and vocal delivery to the song while retaining its romantic feel. The studio audience responded enthusiastically.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, Clarkson praised Green and encouraged viewers to check out his music. She also noted that he had described \u201cWorst Way\u201d as one of the biggest moments in his live concerts. The performance showed her appreciation for his work before the two were set to share a coaching panel.<\/p>\n<h2>A new partnership on The Voice<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/riley-kelly-voice-message.png\" alt=\"New &quot;Voice&quot; Coach Riley Green Receives Surprise Message From Kelly Clarkson\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\"><figcaption>New &quot;Voice&quot; Coach Riley Green Receives Surprise Message From Kelly Clarkson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Green\u2019s appointment as a coach brought him into the competition alongside Clarkson, who returned for her 11th stint in the red chair. The original American Idol winner had coached for 10 previous seasons and guided contestants to victory four times.<\/p>\n<p>The Season 30 panel also included Adam Levine, returning after winning Season 29 with Alexia Jayy, and Queen Latifah. Green was a newcomer to coaching on the show, while his fellow coaches brought experience with its format.<\/p>\n<p>When Green announced the role on Instagram, Clarkson welcomed him in a voicemail shared in a video. She said she was excited to coach alongside him and, in a playful turn, warned that Team Kelly would be tough competition. Clarkson also sent him a customized Voice chair, which Green tried out in the clip.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kelly Clarkson Covers&#039; Worst Way By Riley Green l Kellyoke\" width=\"820\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EHUuJuZ2VfQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Will they perform together?<\/h2>\n<p>The coaching partnership has given Clarkson\u2019s earlier \u201cWorst Way\u201d cover a new context: the song\u2019s original artist and its Kellyoke interpreter are now working on the same program.
