During Clarkson's version of "I Get a Kick Out of You" by Frank Sinatra, she started by crooning the introduction softly over piano notes. Her tone was so warm and cozy, that it'll make you want to curl up by a fireplace. 

Then, the drums kicked in to a swinging groove as Clarkson picked up the tempo, her voice soaring perfectly. And of course, she wrapped things up with a gorgeous high note. 

Sinatra himself would be proud!
