You make me happy.

A thrill to meet you.
21
Could you tell us what we're doing?
22
So we're doing a game here that's basically the same as that classic game, Name That Two.
23
Okay.
24
Okay?
25
So the band will start playing a song.
26
You two will compete to see who can guess the song first.
27
But because this is the Kelly Clarkson show, we added a twist.
28
You can't just name that tune.
29
You have to sing that tune.
30
Okay, okay.
31
There you go.
32
I'm finding my life.
33
Lester was there for you.
34
I was hoping you guys would harmonize, but we'll do it.
35
So the way it works, the band will start playing a song.
36
When you think you know the answer, step onto your platform.
37
Okay.
38
The lights up pink, that means you start singing.
39
Okay.
40
I'm nervous.
41
I'm going to be the judge as to whether you earn the point or not.
42
So ladies, I in the audience ask you to bring it.
43
And you'll be playing for the right side of the audience.
44
Kelly, you'll be playing for the left side.
45
You understand how the game works?
46
Okay.
47
Are you ready to play?
48
I think, I'm nervous.
49
Sing that, name that tune.
50
So we can go like right away, right?
51
Right as you know it.
52
You can, step onto the podium.
53
When you think you know, step on the platform that lights up pink for whoever's there first.
54
I don't want to like freak you out, but I have a foolproof strategy, so good luck.
55
Oh my gosh, I love this.

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
This lively conversation between Kelly Clarkson and Anne Hathaway is perfect for honing real-world speaking skills. The casual, fast-paced dialogue mirrors everyday interactions, making it ideal for IELTS speaking practice and building confidence in spontaneous communication. The game format introduces natural interruptions, humor, and quick thinking—elements that challenge you to listen, process, and respond rapidly. Using the shadowing technique here (repeating lines aloud as you watch) helps improve fluency, intonation, and rhythm, key for sounding natural in English. Whether you use a shadowing app or practice manually, mimicking the speakers’ energy and pacing will boost your shadow speech abilities.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
The video is packed with practical phrases. Here are 3 to focus on:
- "Give it up for you": A casual way to encourage applause, common in hosting or social settings. Notice the phrasal verb "give up" used informally.
- "We added a twist": Means "we made a small, unexpected change." Useful for describing modifications to plans or games.
- "Step onto your platform": A clear instruction with prepositional phrasing. Practice saying this to master direction-giving in English.
These structures are versatile and appear frequently in both casual and semi-formal conversations, making them essential for shadow speak practice.
Common Pronunciation Traps
Watch out for these tricky sounds and accents:
- "Anne Hathaway": The "th" in "Hathaway" is a voiced dental fricative—avoid pronouncing it as "t" or "d."
- "y'all": A Southern U.S. contraction of "you all." The short "a" sound and relaxed pronunciation are key to sounding natural.
- "Oisman": The surname has a silent "s" (pronounced "OY-man"). Listen closely to avoid over-enunciating.
Slow down the video or use a shadowing app to mimic these nuances—they’ll make your speech more authentic.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | you've been · has fallen |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | is called · is never rigged |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
