'Why am I crying?'
After the clip from 'The Little Mermaid' was featured on the show, Kelly broke down while grabbing onto her husband Mark's hand. Kelly asked, "Why am I crying?" as she shifted in her chair and laughed before sitting in an upright position. "Halle, why am I crying?" Kelly then asked Halle. She further stated how the song makes her feel and said, "That song gives me chills. And you performing it is amazing." Halle replied, "Thank you so much." "It's such a beautiful, visually stimulating movie," Kelly said after getting a grip on herself.
'Are you ready?'
During last week's episode, Kelly showed some unusual behavior. She jumped from her seat in excitement, which then led to her apologizing profusely for not conducting herself well. As Kelly and Mark got ready for their 'Spring Trivia', 'We Found Love' by Calvin Harris started playing in the background. The couple danced to the music with great energy, with their fists held in the air in their enthusiasm. Mark asked his wife, "Are you ready?," which led to her jumping on her seat in excitement and yelling, "We gotta do it!"
After some time Kelly started jumping in her chair, waving her arms in the air, with her hair going everywhere. After realizing that her behavior might cause some stir with the audience and some would find it quite astonishing, Kelly sat back in her seat and apologized profusely.
