We are obsessed with Kelly Clarkson and Annie Murphy remixing ‘A Little Bit Alexis'

Schitt’s Creek stan Kelly Clarkson had the ultimate fan interaction with star Annie Murphy, who performed her pitchy-and-perfect track “A Little Bit Alexis” on the popstar’s daytime talk show. Murphy was joined by Clarkson, who proved there IS something better than Kelly Clarkson covering a song—Kelly Clarkson covering a song and writing her own verse.Murphy was a guest on Wednesday’s show and was promoting the final season of the breakout Canadian comedy when Clarkson asked her to perform the theme song from her character’s short-lived reality show. “A Little Bit Alexis” is a whole lot of amazing, much like Murphy, who fully committed to the performance. Crab-walking into a full kick while wearing heels is not for amateurs. Although Murphy only got to perform one of the song’s three verses (she’s always getting cut off early), this time around fans did finally get a second verse from Grammy winner Kelly Clarkson. The popstar sang about her Texas roots, her hot husband and her 20 jobs in “A Little Bit Alexis,” complete with body rolls and hair whips. Yas kweens. If the women decide to take their act on the road, we have an idea of which popstar could supply the third verse.

That's not bleak,Watch @SchittsCreek ! https://t.co/83BEEDhdwz

It’s difficult to pick a favourite part of this surprisingly and delightful performance. Maybe it’s Murphy’s willingness to squat in platforms in the name of art. Maybe it’s Clarkson’s earnest love of Schitt’s Creek. Maybe it’s the juxtaposition of “A Little Bit Alexis” being enjoyed by Clarkson’s other guests, George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman, who were on the show to promote prestigious Oscar contender, 1917.But we think it’s Schitt’s Creek creator, writer and star Dan Levy’s reaction to the performance on Twitter. Seeing one of your favourite performers sing a remix of a song from your show? David would be obsessed with this.

Speaking with Clarkson, Murphy revealed that she poured herself into the now-famous interpretive dance. “I came up with the dance moves shockingly by myself in my trailer about 20 minutes before we shot,” Murphy joked. “I called Sarah Levy in, who plays Twyla on the show, and I was like, ‘Sarah, watch this. What do you think?’ And she was like, ‘Oh, that’s really, really bad,’ and I was like, ‘Nice.’”

Clarkson love for Schitt’s Creek i well-known. The Voice coach was presenting at the Critic’s Choice earlier this month and was announcing the nominees for Best Actor in a Comedy when she told the crowd, “I personally love Eugene Levy. I love you,” said Clarkson of the nominee. “I just wanted to say that. Schitt’s Creek is the jam, so there you go. Everything else is great too, I just have a lot of kids and don’t get to watch a lot of television.” Bill Hader ended up taking home the award, but at least Levy knows he has one famous fan he can count on.
