KELLY Clarkson saw the dark side of Sydney on Wednesday night. Rugging up, the Texan powerhouse treated her band to the after-hours Bridge Climb for their only day off in the Harbour city.

Anyone who visits Sydney must do the Bridge Climb

And she described the experience as "freakin' awesome" in that trademark southern twang.

It was a much different view of the Mr Know It All songstress, who last night dolled up for her Stronger concert at the Entertainment Centre.

As always, Clarkson's stage was without special effects, back-up dancers or any tricks that other singers with half her vocal strength tend to rely on.

The 30-year-old pop rock diva opened the show with a belting version of her 2009 hit My Life Would Suck Without You and worked her way through a back catalogue from her ve albums.

A cover of Sia's Breathe Me was a particular highlight of the concert.
