This isn't about Anna vs. Kelly or vice-versa. This is about we are lucky enough that both of these angelic talents performed one of the deepest songs ever written. Either one of these versions bring tears to the eyes of this 6'5", 265lb Marine... God Bless.
Evets Nosonhoj Well said my friend. I am 6'9" 380 lb. and it brings a tear to my eye. Awesome song and Artists. and thank you for your Service, its truly appreciated by my household!.
HOLY F'N SH*T!!!! How did it take 10yrs for this to come across my recommended videos? I can't believe I never saw it with all the other live cuts I've watched of Kelly. Not sure how many men realize what an amazing artist she is. I'm happy to defend my fandom when friends tease me for enjoying her music. She's so not the commercial candy that we expect from shows like American Idol. She's unique, passionate & a true artist in her own right- add that to those amazing pipes & I personally don't believe any other "big name" out there is on her level. Anna Nalick has always been a huge fave of mine & I loved this song when it came out. It's always been high on my list. I loved it because Anna was so heartfelt in her music- the words hit me deep at the time & helped a friend of mine who was going through a tough time. She really connected with the lyrics. I really hope Anna got a chance to see this. Kelly took her beautiful words & added a whole other level of intense emotion to it. Thank you soooo much Shelbi for sharing this!!!
jessen porter yes. This is why she is a true winner and long standing artist. She can sing live, write and compose music plus cover songs so well... She makes every song her own but respects the original artists
you can't deny the vocal talent of Kelly Clarkson. She delivers a flawless vocal performance. We should feel honored to have watched this masterpiece. Kelly slays like no other!
I always wanted Anna to get more emotional at the last verse but she always sings it like the record (not complaining) it was cool to hear how it sounds this way ,Kelly sure has pipes ! Holy Toledo !!
Kelly Clarkson's voice is heaven. The way she connects to a song and sings with such breathtaking emotion, is unreal. She is a true talent and so underrated.
I adore Anna Nalick's BREATHE, it's one of my all-time favorites, I came here prepared to see it screwed up, just knew no one could do it better. But lo and behold, here comes Kelly. Different presentation, but oh so excellent. I like both! the Radman
so, i actually sat and read the lyrics while listening to kelly sing, and i teared up. This is such an amazing song and Kelly really brought it to life for me!
Kelly Clarkson is like a vocal atomic bomb. At first, it's all subtle and smooth. Then BOOM! Her raw power knocks you out of your chair and you are on the ground looking up wondering what in the world just happened. I'll be sitting on the ground next to you smiling saying, "Yeah, that's Kelly for ya!"
This is a cover folks. Kelly does a fantastic job. She's not performing the song to outdo the original artist. It's her interpretation and it's phenomenal!!!!!
I have been listening to Anna's version which I adore, and this blew me away so much too. Both are amazing in their own ways. Why keep comparing? I'm sure unless they're secretly enemies, Anna is glad to have her song covered by Kelly.
Have watched this video repeatedly over the years. Can’t even imagine what it would have been like to be there live in the arena in Oklahoma in 2012. Was praying she’d sing it again at the show I caught at Radio City in 2016?; but thankfully we still have this video. So controlled at the beginning before going full Kelly!! You feel the brilliance & truth of every lyric in this brilliant song.
I saw this live...one of my favorite fan requests. Stood next to the guy screaming "go ahead!" at the end lol. Also caught Kelly and Reba's Two Worlds Two Voices tour. Kelly is a phenomenal live singer.
I just stumbled on Anna Nalick doing this song here on youtube this past week!!! A really great song!! Now, as I was watching a different video, I stumble on Kelly Clarkson(who I see weekly on the Voice)doing this fantastic song!! Great version Kelly!! So I am thinking I may just want to learn this song!! Can hardly believe it's from 2012!!! Where have I been????? :(
"Breathe (2 AM)" first hit the Billboard charts in 2005. After being used on the Super Bowl episode of Grey's Anatomy, it recharted in 2006. Between 2005-2006, "Breathe (2 AM)" was on the Billboard charts for 45 weeks.
Hey, it's hard be hip sometimes. Back around 2004 I started listening to 'Pandora' while working in my home office. Over the next few years I "discovered" several very cool artists about whom I knew nothing. Anna Nalick was just one of them. Don't need to tell you....great songs and a very good singer. Clarkson has got to be one of the more 'real' people who came out of that whole 'tv star' thing, and it's especially nice to see how much she appreciates music and JUST SINGING. Another good yet obscure KC performance, is from a TV show....probably a reunion of the first show she was on or something. She sings 'Up To The Mountain' (originally written and recorded by an earlier artist Patty Griffin) and NAILS it. Playing along with her was a classic yet truly great guitarist Jeff Beck. Just shows how hip she is.
This one made me cry....and I love Ana Nalick! Gosh I loved Kelly since her first audition on American Idol..she was a star. She is my star!!! I love HER!
this is definitely the best cover of Breathe !!!! she is too awesomeeee !!! her voice is just amazing! i listen to Kelly Clarkson since i was very little n she should keep singing till the world ends !!!!!!!! i luv u
Got me right in the FEELS. At the very beginning, I didn't think I was going to like it and then she went and REALLY put her heart into it!! She had me teared up towards the end. Great Job Kelly!
I've always loved this song... Kelly's version is turned up Rick's harder is also so soft and beautiful at times... her voice is so powerful ..so beautiful been a fan since idol
Wow, that was fantastic. I really love the original as well. They both bring different things to the table. Just a phenomenal song all the way around. Once a great song is out there it usually takes on a life of its own and ends up with many different versions. It's like the artist releasing their 'child' out into the world.
The irony of that last verse 4:32 with the way she just spills her guts through this song just blows my mind. 😭💓 I know this was from years ago but every once in awhile I gotta hear this. This would be amazing to hear her now.
this is quite possibly the most amazing thing ever - she took an awesome song and just made it infinitely better!! what i wouldn't do for a studio version...
This is VINTAGE KELLY CLARKSON at its FINEST !! I love Anna Nalick's Version the best of course, but Kelly Clarkson putting her OWN VOICE is like literally having 2 different people in the SAME WORLD but in DIFFERENT PLACES !! Love em both !! 😻😻😻
Her cover gave me the chills, I love Kelly, she’s everything ❤️ her vocal range is 1000% perfect literally above the clouds to the the heavens! Beautiful!!!
WOW!! When Kelly pulled the trigger, shit got real serious. Amazing! I love the original but she certainly did it justice and made it her own in spades :) Thanks for uploading xxx
This is an amazing cover. Kelly is really talented. Anna Nalick is just as talented in her own style. One is a power singer and the other is a more of a folk singer. I’ve never understood why Anna hasn’t become a mega star. She is as talented as any super star out there.
2020 here, Anna was and is a bomb, this song was so beautiful and speaks to your ❤️ and I loved it from day one,Kelly is my fav Idol,winner she and Carrie are bonafide Super Stars.🙏🏻
I absolutely fucking love Kelly Clarkson! I have loved this song since FIRST hearing it so long ago... It brings me back everytime O hear it and Kelly fucking killed it! Jesus christ i love this woman. BEAUTIFUL JOB! She made it her own and still stayed true to the original. floored.loved it. Absolutely loved it. Thank you Anna and Kelly.
In this day and age of here today and gone tomorrow lyrics and bubblegum pop divas, or Ingrid Michaelson wannabees, it is still good to know that talent is the only thing that endures.
Wow, this song should of been given to Kelly, the girl who wrote it wrote an amazing song and now everyone can feel real heartbreak and power in those lyrics. bravo Clarkson!!!
Love how respectful she is of the original artists in her intros. A true music fan period.
+Shoeting Star Which makes her better than pretty Miley,Bieber,Selena and so on
+Nathan Rodriguez It's not a really fair comparison, she's a decade older than all of them. She has nothing to prove to anybody.
Yes
Definitely and she’s so beautiful doing it
This isn't about Anna vs. Kelly or vice-versa. This is about we are lucky enough that both of these angelic talents performed one of the deepest songs ever written. Either one of these versions bring tears to the eyes of this 6'5", 265lb Marine... God Bless.
Amen!
Evets Nosonhoj Well said, bro!
Evets Nosonhoj agreed. the most beautiful song written in the past 20 years.
Evets Nosonhoj Well said my friend. I am 6'9" 380 lb. and it brings a tear to my eye. Awesome song and Artists. and thank you for your Service, its truly appreciated by my household!.

Sucks!
what's great about Kelly is her obvious love of music. it makes her a joy to watch and why she's so great at covers. she respects the music and artist
jessen porter yes. This is why she is a true winner and long standing artist. She can sing live, write and compose music plus cover songs so well... She makes every song her own but respects the original artists
Omg I jnow

She sold the emotion behind this song perfectly. Very well done.

Yes, a MASTERPIECE!!! Only Kelly Clarkson and still so under-rated by the media.
so, i actually sat and read the lyrics while listening to kelly sing, and i teared up. This is such an amazing song and Kelly really brought it to life for me!
In my opinion KC has one of the best voices of the World! She is amazing!
Honestly, this is the greatest song ever written. Every single emotion is conveyed here.
I've been watching Kelly's covers for days now, and she has managed to outshine so many other huge singers. She's freakin' awesome!! :)
I love the original and I love the way she does this song justice. She's got so much talent and I love her so much

Bill Morris oh I know well said
This comment made me smile. This is so how I feel about Kelly. She is freakin' treasure.
@Bill Morris -- Best accurate description of Kelly Clarkson voice! Awesome comment! 🙂👍
This is a cover folks. Kelly does a fantastic job. She's not performing the song to outdo the original artist. It's her interpretation and it's phenomenal!!!!!
Every year I fall more and more in love with Kelly.
I have been listening to Anna's version which I adore, and this blew me away so much too. Both are amazing in their own ways. Why keep comparing? I'm sure unless they're secretly enemies, Anna is glad to have her song covered by Kelly.
Totally agree.
She could sing me the ABC's and I would be hooked. Kelly Clarkson is amazing.
Kelly went to church with this song! She SANG it - beautiful lyrics. Much respect to this and the original.
Shoeting Star so much power
I listen to this whenever I'm bummed out about something and need something to pick me up. Never fails to disappoint
Are you kidding me right now?!!!
Friggin killed it. What a gift she has, what a gift she is. Just breathe, just wow.
Nothing beat the original. Anna Nalick brings more feeling.
One of my absolute favourite songs of all time...and Kelly just gave me another version to be obsessed with.💜💙💛💜💙💛💜💙💛💜💙💛💜💙💛💜💙💛💜💙💛💜💙💛💜💙💛💜💙💛

Kelly Clarkson is absolutely everything.

Ugh I don’t even have words
I think she did this perfectly
I love how powerful her voice is and how beautiful she is when she sings always gives me chills. She is So humble In and Out
This is one of my favorite covers that she did. Amazing.
Wow...such a beautiful song sung by the most amazing voice imaginable.
Got me right in the FEELS. At the very beginning, I didn't think I was going to like it and then she went and REALLY put her heart into it!! She had me teared up towards the end.
Great Job Kelly!
Geeessseeeeeeee... is there ANYTHING Kelly can't sing????????? Love you Kelly.
Kelly needs to do a "fan favorites requests" album :)
I've always loved this song... Kelly's version is turned up Rick's harder is also so soft and beautiful at times... her voice is so powerful ..so beautiful been a fan since idol
Wow, that was fantastic. I really love the original as well. They both bring different things to the table. Just a phenomenal song all the way around. Once a great song is out there it usually takes on a life of its own and ends up with many different versions. It's like the artist releasing their 'child' out into the world.
My wife & I saw Kelly in Vancouver, WA and the weather was OUT OF CONTROL, and she sang her lungs out...MY GOD...that girl can sing!
What, was she singing outside?
Still one of the best covers she's ever done 😍
Incredible performance, again by this talented woman!!!
Love Kelly's performance of this song!!!! Thanks.
What an amazing talent she has. in my opinion one of the best ever
+andy s Totally but still so underrated. I don't why!!
I dunno. It baffles me too lol.
Def

Heinz Goodrick perfect song perfect kelly
EVERY COVER SHE DOES IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL,,,,LIVE NO LESS !!!
Wow, wow...watch from 4:50 point on and this is a sermon. Amazing. Preach Kelly Clarkson!!
BEYOND awesome on every level ... from concept to attribution & delivery.
The irony of that last verse 4:32 with the way she just spills her guts through this song just blows my mind. 😭💓 I know this was from years ago but every once in awhile I gotta hear this.
This would be amazing to hear her now.
OMG!!! I love Anna's version, it's beautiful. But Kelly, Kelly, KILLED it!!!
this is quite possibly the most amazing thing ever - she took an awesome song and just made it infinitely better!! what i wouldn't do for a studio version...
Kelly needs to do an album full of covers like this one...it would blow my mind!
This is VINTAGE KELLY CLARKSON at its FINEST !! I love Anna Nalick's Version the best of course, but Kelly Clarkson putting her OWN VOICE is like literally having 2 different people in the SAME WORLD but in DIFFERENT PLACES !! Love em both !! 😻😻😻
Her cover gave me the chills, I love Kelly, she’s everything ❤️ her vocal range is 1000% perfect literally above the clouds to the the heavens! Beautiful!!!
She has the most amazing voice I have ever heard! Unbelievable!
Excellent rendition. Really beautiful.
Such a great cover......can't wait to see Kelly in 3 days!! Whoop whoop!!
Beautiful, I love the falsetto she uses!
Well done. It's surprising to hear such a great cover.
She is just one of my favorite singers.....ever
forever loving this woman..... and this happen to be my fav song when I was a teen
Wow. She owned this one this night. 😍
at 5:30 she just unleashes that voice.
WOW!! When Kelly pulled the trigger, shit got real serious. Amazing!
I love the original but she certainly did it justice and made it her own in spades :)
Thanks for uploading xxx
I think it’s way better than the original but I’m biased I’m a die hard Kelly fan
Kelly is so amazing yet so under-rated!!!
Wow, she is so perfectly amazing. I can't imagine there is anything she can't sing.
i freaking love her - she will always be my FAV! she is incredible!!!
God, she is AMAZING. The original is gold. But she killed this cover!
This is an amazing cover. Kelly is really talented. Anna Nalick is just as talented in her own style. One is a power singer and the other is a more of a folk singer. I’ve never understood why Anna hasn’t become a mega star. She is as talented as any super star out there.
I love Kelly Clarkson. She seems like such a force of positive energy. ^_^
Man, I just teared up... Did not see that coming. Amazing!
I've always been a fan of the original song, but this is seriously the best thing I've ever seen
2020 here, Anna was and is a bomb, this song was so beautiful and speaks to your ❤️ and I loved it from day one,Kelly is my fav Idol,winner she and Carrie are bonafide Super Stars.🙏🏻
MY FAVOURITE ARTIST COVERING ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS. THIS SONG IS SO DAMN UNDERRATED.
Nothing better than attending a concert and the headliner covers a song as good as or even better than the orginal.
I love it when someone can put so much emotion into a song.
Her voice is so beautiful just like her. Love her
I think Anna would dig the version, Both awesome!
I absolutely fucking love Kelly Clarkson! I have loved this song since FIRST hearing it so long ago... It brings me back everytime O hear it and Kelly fucking killed it! Jesus christ i love this woman. BEAUTIFUL JOB! She made it her own and still stayed true to the original. floored.loved it. Absolutely loved it. Thank you Anna and Kelly.
Nailed it!
love kelly,wish she could be my vocal coach...she is awesome..
What a singer, What a talent!!!!!!
This cover was so beautiful. she's wonderful.
my roommate and i watch the Kelly Clarkson Show she nailed this song Kelly very well !!!
2022 and still my favourite cover of all time.
Oh my GOD. This is wonderful. I almost cried.
Wow. What a wonderful talent...
In this day and age of here today and gone tomorrow lyrics and bubblegum pop divas, or Ingrid Michaelson wannabees, it is still good to know that talent is the only thing that endures.
The perfectness of this performance
Anna is my fav, you did good Kelly.
Wow, this song should of been given to Kelly, the girl who wrote it wrote an amazing song and now everyone can feel real heartbreak and power in those lyrics. bravo Clarkson!!!
I don't understand why this doesn't have a ton more views! so beautiful.
I met her at her meet and greet she is such a sweetheart
Kelly, please, please, please make a covers album!!! You are amazing!
One of my favorite covers
