i think this goes to show how challenging mariah's songs are. even one of her simpler songs is a difficult song to sing for one of the best singers of our generation. the vocal control required for this song is just insane.
So true, sometimes I wonder if Mariah aimed for being The Vocal Bible, I don't totally understand why this title was given to Brandy. Kelly's more of a raw singer though, doesn't always aim for the complex runs.
kayteeelle I've never listened to Brandy, so I can't comment on her, but I agree about the Kelly thing. She's always focused a ton on meaning every word she sings, and holds back a lot in terms of runs.
She did a wonderful job. Mariah's voice is so unique that it was good she didn't try to mimic her but pay homage, and sing the song while staying in her own vocal range. Kelly always puts the emotion into her songs and that sets her apart from the others.
Girlll u speak my language .. when them wannabeeees trynna imitate i find it irritating .. kelly c, kelly rowland and david are the only singers who really did justice on mariah's song by making their own version
Love her respect for history. She pays such great homage to women who have impacted music on many levels. and takes on challenges such as these to show how she is not afraid to be versatile and passionate about singing. *applause to Kelly Clarkson*
I love Kelly Clarkson's spirit, she is so humble and gives respect to any artist's sons she is covering. She is one of the better singers of our generation. Much love Kelly ♥
I love Mariah to death, and ABMB happens to be my favorite song ever. I must say that Kelly Clarkson did a great cover, it's refreshing to hear it sung by another extremely talented artist.
CY T She sang opera during High School. Her vocal teacher made her sing them. There is a clip of her singing a semi-classical tune. RUclips "waiting for my dearie Kelly Clarkson." It's not really opera as it's a broadway musical but you can tell from the clip that she was classically trained. She mostly sings in head voice very different from her pop voice.
Everyone who is a fan of Mariah Carey will always love/ like the original just because another artist does another cover doesn't mean that they are trying to out do the other artists are even implying that they want to be compared to the artists.... But some how fans always end putting them in that category anyways. It doesn't matter who sings better Mariah Carey and Kelly Clarkson both have extreme and DIFFERENT talents especially who sings.
This is a nice cover, obviously not equal or better than Mimi but for an artist to not butcher a song and still make it pleasant is always amazing! Plus Kelly and Mimi are friends 😊😊😊 Kelly shows on the voice that she's a Mariah fan. She never claimed she'd dethrone a queen. Just singing a song she likes by an artist she loves and admires.
At the end of the day, it's less about who's the better singer, and more of who meets our preferences better. The best ranges and technical voices are probably going to be found in opera houses, yet Kelly and Mariah are way more well known and generally liked than those singers. Quality singers are able to combine their styles, emotions, and ranges to reach out to us listening. Everything else is up to interpretation.
you can tell she just loves Mariah by the way she introduces the song & just belts away the lyrics... BRAVO KELLY!!! you remain the sterling example of AI
i like them both, and i think they can´t be compare... why people always have to compare different things??? Both are great, kelly es strong with her voice, mariah is soft, the types of voices are different, the kind of music to, even in the time mariah used to do pop music, it was a different kind of pop... so... don´t compare...
I loooooooove Kelly!!!! She adores my MC! That's 1 of the reasons y i support Kelly & she always does her covers justice, bcuz she does them in her own way without trying to outdo Mariah.
she did a great job here. it's just certain missings of runs and lows here. well, the belts were amazing (she sustained that F5 too) but i think MC's belts are somehow brighter and sounds more resonant.
kelly killed it! i think she did Mariah proud. just wish the quality of the vid was a bit better but still thank u to the uploader of this vid & and, if not the same person, the maker of this vid too b^.^d
Bit of a bad audio take but then I think the fan in the audience isn't suppose to be recording right now? But it's my girl Kelly! Hope you've purchased her album too.
"Anytime", "The trouble with love is", "Cry", "Because of you", "Addicted", "Maybe" are just some of Kelly's wonderful songs. I really love her voice and I think she's a great singer, but in my opinion she shouldn't have accepted the request. As far as I can see no one succeeds in covering Mariah. She's really out of this world. But it's good to know that Kelly admires MC too.
Loved it and Kelly is amazing!!! Yet as a big fan of both MC and KC and KC's band, I have one critical comment. I would've loved to hear her do it a capella, or at least with more stripped down instrumentation. It is rare for me to say that 'cause KC has one of the best bands ever esp w/ Jason Halbert doing the arrangements and the covers and tour versions they do are amazing. In this case, though, I long to hear the vocal un- or less- accompanied.
Kelly is one of the few people who can sing a Mariah song and do it justice. She doesn't try to hit the notes mariah hits, instead she makes it her own, which is what makes the covers great.
Idk y u guys are arguing, lambs know no one but Whitney and Celene and hang with Mariah so appreciate that someone like Kelly loves Mariah like the lambily
This song might be hard to sing, but Kelly could have easily cut down on the vocal gymnastics and stuck to the wonderful melody of this song. She sounded off-key wayyy too many times for this cover to be enjoyable. She should've sung it in a simple manner and that would've been awesome!
***** There's no way to sing a Mariah Carey song in a simple manner. It's because of her melisma and runs; you take them out of the song, and it's not a Mariah Carey song anymore.
Yeah but Mariah Carey does the runs and all, yet the melody comes through well. Kelly Clarkson is a fantastic singer otherwise, but here she didn't do a good job. David Cook sang a cover of the same song with practically no runs or vocal gymnastics, and he retained the melody of the song and it was wonderful.

Well worded

basedbeyonce Who in your eyes are the top 10 best singers 2000-present?
kayteeelle thats a tuff one...ill have to get back to ya on that question. .
I like that she actually COVERED Mariah Carey and sang it in that uniquely Kelly Clarkson style.
She did a wonderful job. Mariah's voice is so unique that it was good she didn't try to mimic her but pay homage, and sing the song while staying in her own vocal range. Kelly always puts the emotion into her songs and that sets her apart from the others.

i love her and Mariah
Queen of covers...i love this woman
Everyone of these covers... how does she nail it? every. single. time.
I love Mariah to death, and ABMB happens to be my favorite song ever. I must say that Kelly Clarkson did a great cover, it's refreshing to hear it sung by another extremely talented artist.
There is LITERALLY nothing this woman can't sing.
Ken Bradley So she could also sing opera or death metal?
Opera maybe, she does have classical training. Death metal? Who knows lol
CY T She sang opera during High School. Her vocal teacher made her sing them. There is a clip of her singing a semi-classical tune. RUclips "waiting for my dearie Kelly Clarkson." It's not really opera as it's a broadway musical but you can tell from the clip that she was classically trained. She mostly sings in head voice very different from her pop voice.
lea210 Yes, I've heard her do classical but yeah, that's not opera as you said.
+CY T she has recorded a popera song with josh groban

I wish there were a better sounding version of this but I could tell she crushed it live
i like them both, and i think they can´t be compare... why people always have to compare different things??? Both are great, kelly es strong with her voice, mariah is soft, the types of voices are different, the kind of music to, even in the time mariah used to do pop music, it was a different kind of pop... so... don´t compare...

she can sing anything, absolutely amaaaaaaayyyy zin
This song sounds simple but mariah ate with the adlibs on this classic yall better check the stripped down version
OMG . I LOVE mariah! and Always be my baby is my all time favourite song! i would have died if she sang this when i saw her live. she sang wonderwall.
like for the respect she gives to Mariah..Kelly is really humble.
I love that she respects Mariah so much. She did it all first.
kelly rocks!...shes the bomb
she did a great job here. it's just certain missings of runs and lows here. well, the belts were amazing (she sustained that F5 too) but i think MC's belts are somehow brighter and sounds more resonant.
Agreed. No one is humble like Kelly anymore
Kelly should release a cover album, she has done so many good ones!
wow... and to think this song is relatively easy for mariah's song...
This is why I love Kelly Clarkson! This chick has some serious skills.
If she would’ve sung this on American Idol back in the day she would’ve slayed the hell out this song
She's really good I love this song
agree. she's something special.
I love Kelly so much!
Love Kelly Love Mariah Love this song
Kelly & Mariah
thats awesome she has such an amazing voice!
You, dear, win points for your very literary description of Kelly's tone (as one with "grit and violence that makes Kelly special").
Incrível,mandou muito bem..
Only David Cook and Kelly have nailed this song . . #lambily
she is amazing!
She killed that shit!!!
Awesome. Thanks for posting this. Love Kelly. And love Mariah.
KELLY IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!
muito bom dia Kelly! vc menina tem muito talento viu?
kelly killed it! i think she did Mariah proud. just wish the quality of the vid was a bit better but still thank u to the uploader of this vid & and, if not the same person, the maker of this vid too b^.^d
Fav Mariah song. Great cover!
Bit of a bad audio take but then I think the fan in the audience isn't suppose to be recording right now? But it's my girl Kelly! Hope you've purchased her album too.
Flawless
: AMAZING VOCALS!!!!
I'm impressed!
me to
I was impressed from the title. Did not see this coming.
Noel Paillant nor did I.
it is impressive isent it
"Anytime", "The trouble with love is", "Cry", "Because of you", "Addicted", "Maybe" are just some of Kelly's wonderful songs. I really love her voice and I think she's a great singer, but in my opinion she shouldn't have accepted the request. As far as I can see no one succeeds in covering Mariah.

Alright now Kelly Clarkson band is grooving love it.
Kelly Clarkson is a true lamb!
Goosebumps!
wow this mariah carey verson is nice and its my favorite mariah carey song
No matter what anyone says I will always think Kelly is the best. People have there own opinions though and I do like Mariah to.
Loved it and Kelly is amazing!!! Yet as a big fan of both MC and KC and KC's band, I have one critical comment.

for real! it's my favourite as well!
Nailed it.
go kelly!!! great cover.
Having Kelly cover your music is probably a huge complement to most artists. Mariah would be flattered so stop comparing the two versions people.
I really wanna see her in concert!!! :)
I love her love for Mariah! :D
What a voice,love the shirt too.
nice kelly... love you mariah
Wow she definitely did this justice!
Awwww, Kelly is a Lamb!!!!
Great cover
Awesome cover!!! I love it!!!
Kelly is one of the few people who can sing a Mariah song and do it justice.
She doesn't try to hit the notes mariah hits, instead she makes it her own, which is what makes the covers great.
Force? If that's force, I don't want a gentle voice. Her voice is perfect the way it is.
i wish i had her voice
Idk y u guys are arguing, lambs know no one but Whitney and Celene and hang with Mariah so appreciate that someone like Kelly loves Mariah like the lambily
