Some talented students in New Jersey are starting the holiday season on a high note. Showing off their vocals (with a side of beatboxing), Neptune High School’s Scarlett Sound Choir soaked up the spotlight on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” — where they got the good news that they will be performing on “Christmas at Rockefeller Center.” NBC New York’s Natalie Pasquarella reports.
Kelly Clarkson is becoming synonymous with Christmas.
The singer, who hosts the nationally-syndicated program "The Kelly Clarkson Show," has a holiday album out, "When Christmas Comes Around..." and is set to release "When Christmas Comes Around...Again" with two new songs.
Clarkson is also set to return to the mic as the host and a performer for the "Christmas in Rockefeller Center" tree lighting program on NBC Wednesday night.
