This is something only Kelly Clarkson could do! Takeing a cool pop song and turn it into a soft rock ballade and rockin with it! She's awesome,I love her!!!
why do y'all have to compare her with Katy?? can't you say "omg kelly sings so well" instead of "better than Katy of course"?? Both have beautiful voices... and they are actually friends... I think none of them would like to be compared... and for those who underestimate katy remember that she actually wrote the song... Anyway both of them are my queens so I'm gonna keep enjoying how they support each other's music
Yeah. I think that's because Kelly was trying to sound somewhat like Katy in this cover. Kelly's voice is versatile enough to mimick quite a lot of artists - her tone differs when she sings her own songs.
@@sergioampv1640 sometimes during her teenage dream era but she have been improving since her witness era…and now smile era she can completely sing with a powerful and controlled voice
I am so pleased that I discovered this band! I've been looking for a great new music for unreasonably long! *watch?v=js6TBze6vNA* You undoubtedly should check this out! Take a look at the youtube URL, you are going to like it!!
i love that K.Clarkson kills it every single cover she does live in concert and is humble enough to say how much she loves the song or that she wont give the song justice before hand. When i hear these covers its like hearing the songs for the very first time.. amazing.
she's such an amazing singer that all of these covers sound better than the originals, and she maybe rehearsed them like 3 or 4 times tops? pure talent.
She actually writes every song even Part Of Me! Just with some composers to help her transform her lyrics into actual music. And even Kelly has 2 songs written by Katy Perry! Katy is not the best performer but in acoustic she is incredible. She actually plays piano and guitar.
Following Katy for more than 8 years and loving her work, I have concluded her songs are not easy to sing. Like Kelly didn't do justice to the song, no offence she is diva but the songs which are made for someone, are made for them. Wide awake is powerful song which Katy does justice. Period.
Raksha Tripathy LoL Kelly is a better singer and the reason why this sounds sub par is because she literally learns the song the day she does the cover
+eirylle jimena He can't accept that people here like Kellegendary's version better than his girl Katy's, so he goes to Kelly's videos trying desperately to find things wrong with her :D
Klaus Geltl if this person thinks kelly did this song well that's their opinion and they are entitled. just because you don't like this cover doesn't mean that all people are going to have your same opinion. I personally think she did the song well. She may have sung it in a different pitch but I'm guessing she chose to do it in a pitch that better suited her vocal range and to put her own spin on the song rather than copy Katy. If if you hate the cover so much then why even watch or bother commenting on multiple posts about how bad you think kelly did and bashing people who don't share you opinion on this cover.
Ok so for anyone who says Katy can sing this better - I guess you've never heard her sing it live, cause she's literally screaming/dying or smth. Nothing against Katy, don't get me wrong, I like her - she's just not that good of a live singer. And to add smth that might have not been noticed - Kelly is singing this in a higher pitch.
Katy's voice is low so. I hate it when people try to mock of what's better, I mean everybody have opinions. But Katy sings this in a lower pitch as of this video. Because Katy's voice is different that Kelly's. Both have powerful voice, but very different in styles. I just hope that you make a valid reason before criticizing.
Ginger Katy Yes.. I made my valid reason - she can't hit her notes properly when performing live.(and I'm not talking about the 5% of time when every singer has his bad day and his voice is just in a bad condition..) That's literally what I said in my post.. which makes Kelly a better live performer.. or you don't need to sing good at concerts and live shows to be considered a good live performer. Don't try to make it more that it is - a very objective opinion. And no - Katy's voice is not low.. how can you consider a light-lyric soprano type voice a low one...
What I mean? You don't like Katy Perry's +Sebazztion1994 Wide Awake, but you like this embarrassing whine Kelly Clarkson makes of it. Why do female singers always do that with Katy's songs, turn them from something powerful and energetic into a little girl's whine??
LOL, Katy Perry having anything on Kellys voice? I LOVE Katy don't get my wrong, but Kelly compared to Katy, thats not even comparable! Kelly has a more powerful voice than anyone in the industry. If you don't realize that, than that just makes me realize you know nothing about music.
Like you said, with Katy it's studio done. Try listening to Katy sing it live. I like Katy, but live, as someone pointed out, Kelly has the most powerful voice. Plus the style is different. If Kelly had Katy's background music....whoooo.
I got to say and believe me I'm a huge katy perry fan. Kelly did awesome on his song. I would say better then katy since they're 2 different types of singers but Kelly has a much better tone.
It doesn't suit the song - it happens so often that women turn a powerful energetic song of Katy's into a sob and whine sounding lament, and Kelly here does the same! This is so far from even coming anywhere near Katy because of that. It's not the voice (which isn't any better than Katy's either) but the awful style which artistically misinterprets everything Katy intends with her music. People liking it - okay! - but to say she does it better, no, I can't understand that when she doesn't even get the vibe of Wide Awake.
Klaus Geltl Doesn't seem like it. She did a variation of the first refrain, which is intuitively something that signifies development/change from the lament feel from the "awakening". But then again that's just the vibe I get from the cover :)
Kelly hasn't got a 'better tone', whatever you mean by that. Katy is an awesome, unique professional performer whose songs can't be done better by somebody else. If you haven't attended Katy's concerts and not heard her in real life, and not with this song, you just don't know shit.
+Klaus Geltl Shut the fuck up already. You have no idea what you are talking about! We have all seen Katy live. It's NOTHING to sing home about. Just because Kelly is a much better vocalist, and you refuse to accept that, doesn't mean everyone needs to jump on your ignorant band wagon.
Klaus Geltl if you want a circus you see Katy. If you want raw soulful entertainment, you see Kelly. Both successful in their own right. Bravo to them both. As far as actual music goes and it meaning something...that no argument plausible, is going to Kelly. She fought to get where she is and will fight to stick around.
Katy fought a lot harder than anybody to get where she is, people just don't know her history. Again, as much as I like Kelly Clarkson, this deplorable whine just doesn't do it for me, Katy sings it like she does for a reason. People who don't understand that just haven't seen Katy in real life, Wide Awake is one of her power songs, not what Kelly tries to make of it. Katy puts as much into her song performances onstage as anybody, this talk about her being all 'show' and others being so 'soulful' is the dumbest crap.
TheAC0510 definitely , Katy can't sing live. Don't get me wrong I love her songs and maybe she's better acapella or something but live she is horrible. Kelly sings even better live than in studio.
You fools haven't got a clue about Katy, probably never heard her live. Katy is awesome onstage, and Kelly's whine and lament version of this song is just wrong. She doesn't get the vibe of Katy's intention behind this. To say that Katy isn't good live is just - so ignorant.
Klaus Geltl I have been to two Katy Perry concerts...dont get me wrong they were amazing but Katy is more of an entertainer than a singer....she really cant sing well... I have been to one Kelly Clarkson concert and that girl can sing hwr vocals are amazing....and tbh i always hated that song but to personally Kelly did this song Justice
I have been not to 2, but to 8 of Katy's shows within less than a year, and as a singer I can only say, respect and adoration, she is in fact awesome. Wide Awake is by the way one of the simplest songs of Katy's to sing, you don't even need a voice range to speak of to do it, and even so Kelly's singing here sounds terrible. Katy puts the power into this which it needs, like no 'cover artist' (why is Kelly so desperate to be one?) ever can.
The only surprise is how people find this even good, let alone 'better'. It's a terrible lament, bare of all the energy and power which Katy puts into her own song. Kelly is an awesome singer, but this is just embarrassing.
How the hell is this 'better than Katy'? Kelly is embarrassing with this! Her attempt on this song has no power, none of the invigorating energy with which Katy presents her own song. Katy has got the voice for this - I don't doubt that Kelly has got it, too, but why doesn't she use it instead of presenting this whining torture?
Her voice is great and I bought her albums, but she's definitely not better than Katy. Katy is Katy, and Kelly is Kelly. Know what I mean? And Kelly is not good here.
How on earth is this terrible sob and moan embarrassment 'better than Katy'?? Have you ever stood next to Katy singing her own songs in her powerful, energising way? If you had you wouldn't say this.
who else is back here after hearing Kelly Clarkson sing this song in 2024
Me!
Yes!!
One of the greatest covers ever imo
Yeah this one is still better
Kelly was born to sing live.
I agree 100%
amen
And that's why she exist in music industry 20 years.
You so on point she were born to sing live
Agre
Still one of the best cover she's ever done. Keep coming back if I can.
2022 Yeah!!!
Incredible. It's a sad day when Kelly covers your song...
hahahah sooo true :-D
best comment^^
That lady has a voice, that's for sure.
This is something only Kelly Clarkson could do! Takeing a cool pop song and turn it into a soft rock ballade and rockin with it! She's awesome,I love her!!!
Any good performer who's got the vibe can do it.
Klaus Geltl but she did it better
This girl is amazing inside and out I don't care what people say she is awesome!!
Kelly did this song again on her talk show!
This version is so much better, she was doing too much with the song on the talk show tbh
why do y'all have to compare her with Katy?? can't you say "omg kelly sings so well" instead of "better than Katy of course"?? Both have beautiful voices... and they are actually friends... I think none of them would like to be compared...
and for those who underestimate katy remember that she actually wrote the song...
Anyway both of them are my queens so I'm gonna keep enjoying how they support each other's music
I agree!
yes! Preach!
I love Kelly. I'm doing nothing but sitting here watching her do cover songs. SHE'S ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!
Me too! She's got it. Period.
Sameee
The note she hit when she said " tonight " omg Kelly I love this !!!!!!!!!
Never get tired of listening to this version she does such a cool job
their tone is somewhat similar but their techniques are way opposite
Yeah. I think that's because Kelly was trying to sound somewhat like Katy in this cover. Kelly's voice is versatile enough to mimick quite a lot of artists - her tone differs when she sings her own songs.
I always thought Katy couldn’t really sing.
@@sergioampv1640 sometimes during her teenage dream era but she have been improving since her witness era…and now smile era she can completely sing with a powerful and controlled voice
@@franciscojr.5383 You’re right. I just saw a 2021 performance and she sounded great.
kelly is the best singer ever ,
Very impressive.
Well done Ms Clarkson!
Omg is perfect *.*
I am so pleased that I discovered this band! I've been looking for a great new music for unreasonably long!

This is the best cover anyone has ever done of any song, this woman is a legend.

Katy is good . Kelly made a cover . That doesn't mean you all have to compare . Keep all the comparisons
-KatyCats
Yup
Dominic Pratt, Thankyou my friend!
Kelly is a good singer :)
nampenda sana
2019 and I still here...
Katy and Kelly are both amazing! Equally amazing! Love it!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
she's such an amazing singer that all of these covers sound better than the originals, and she maybe rehearsed them like 3 or 4 times tops? pure talent.
Justin Carcamo i am so sorry ...
Nothing can beats the original ....!!!
Nothing and never !!!
yes rehearsed bc she changed part of the lyrics and they made changes with the instrument choices and the song pacing and all
I love Katy Perry wide awake and Kelly clarkson have a beautiful voice wounderful ?
wow, I loooove kelly's version of this song, it sounds amazingly beautiful!!!
whoooo year 2021 and this performance is immortal ✨🍸
Holy FUCK this was UNREAL!!! Kelly Clarkson is one of the most amazing singers alive!!!
She sounds a little bit like Katy
Shelly K NEVER!!!
Yeah kinda just raspier
Shellsy K yea
Funny comment
Kelly is so amazing
Absolutely amazing.
I love her so much omg, S L A Y
Perfection
She actually writes every song even Part Of Me! Just with some composers to help her transform her lyrics into actual music. And even Kelly has 2 songs written by Katy Perry!
Katy is not the best performer but in acoustic she is incredible. She actually plays piano and guitar.
Some of katy’s acoustics are my faves ever of any artist
I was there and this was incredible live!!
She puts so much emotion into it... *chills* she's amazing.
3:50 she's an angel! I knew it;)
This is a hard song to sing. No problem with everyone praising her but I'm actually waiting for her to sing the chorus the way it is.
She never ceases to amaze me...
this put me in tears
nobody sing better than katy.
There are a lot of singers that sing better than Katy you IDIOT
@@sandatotten552 quedé
i like her voice vut i think the song is better when katy perry sings it kelly has a voice too energic for this song
she has such a beautiful voice
Man....She done this so beautifully...My girl...ahhh Kelly why cant you be my bestie!!!
Following Katy for more than 8 years and loving her work, I have concluded her songs are not easy to sing.
Like Kelly didn't do justice to the song, no offence she is diva but the songs which are made for someone, are made for them. Wide awake is powerful song which Katy does justice. Period.

Ok y'all need to shut up katy and Kelly can both sing beautifully ok it's just your personal preference. So just shut up and let them both be.
Why does katy need to lip synch and Kelly doesn't
She's truly a great singer beautiful voice ❤
this girl just know how to sing everything .. i love Kelly , she have so amazing voice
little trimbly but over all good job kelly keep it up
This was good... But I personally prefer Katy's Tone.
Her huge smile at the end is one of the most beautiful things about her.
Absolutely stunning. As soon as Kelly started to sing, I was hit with emotion. What an amazing voice.
that moment when kelly performed better than katy.
No, she bsolutely didn't. This is awful.
+Klaus Geltl Why are you here spending time to listen and watch her cover??? Don't you think it's an awful thing to do?!!!!
+eirylle jimena He can't accept that people here like Kellegendary's version better than his girl Katy's, so he goes to Kelly's videos trying desperately to find things wrong with her :D

Can you do fight song from Rachel Platten!!
I love her! I think you can do better big time!
THX from raven
Wide awake is my fav song this year too.
Wow! Amazing...this is why I love Kelly Clarkson!!!!

I always don't like Wide Awake. But now it's just WooooooowWW!!!
Why don't you always like Wide Awake? And you think this terrible whine makes it good all of a sudden?
Klaus Geltl What do you mean exactly? I am saying that I never liked Wide Awake at all. I like Kelly's voice better than Katy's.
What I mean? You don't like Katy Perry's +Sebazztion1994 Wide Awake, but you like this embarrassing whine Kelly Clarkson makes of it. Why do female singers always do that with Katy's songs, turn them from something powerful and energetic into a little girl's whine??
Then have great fun. I like Kelly's voice, too, but not in this mess.
I luv Kelly & Katy. They both have a beautiful voice.
Thx to whoever requested this to her, and thx for uploading this, also thx to her sang this song wholeheartedly in live.
at first it sounded like Justin Timberlake song
100000000x better than Perry's version!
I love Katy Perry but DAMN!! This rocks!
Day made.
KiraEmily1234 I don't love KP but you're right "This rocks!"
KiraEmily1234 What exactly is ‘Perry’s version’? There are hundreds, but she never made a bizarre whine of it like Clarkson did here.
I cant get this version out of my head I LOVE this version! I LOVE Kelly shes amazing
I agree with Kelly, this is possibly my favorite song of this year. Sick cover. Blonde Kelly
Man! How does Katy do it in the studio? Even Kelly Clarkson is finding it tough to give an average performance of this song!
autotune.
Even I think so. but you know if you autotune, it would sound like a little robotic. She definitely uses a very high quality autotuner, if she does.
Kelly sings this song in a higher pitch LOL
LOL, Katy Perry having anything on Kellys voice? I LOVE Katy don't get my wrong, but Kelly compared to Katy, thats not even comparable! Kelly has a more powerful voice than anyone in the industry. If you don't realize that, than that just makes me realize you know nothing about music.

Just because Kelly is a much better vocalist, and you refuse to accept that, doesn't mean everyone needs to jump on your ignorant band wagon.
Of all her covers on RUclips, this is the best,IMHO.
took the word out of my mouth
i love kelly>3
Daaaaammmnnnnn,woh watch out katy perry she did your song better then you did.
That's so much rubbish. You obviously haven't seen Katy live, ever, or you wouldn't say such garbage.
Haha so true though. She can give Katy a run for her money.

That was so amazing! She made us feel the song.

No surprise, she is better than Katy. But still Katy is a great singer too.
The only surprise is how people find this even good, let alone 'better'. It's a terrible lament, bare of all the energy and power which Katy puts into her own song. Kelly is an awesome singer, but this is just embarrassing.
i really like her rendition.Its really filled with alot of pain and emotion.kelly clarkson rocks!★★
Love love love her cover
Better than Katy. Sorry. And best performance ever.
How the hell is this 'better than Katy'? Kelly is embarrassing with this! Her attempt on this song has no power, none of the invigorating energy with which Katy presents her own song.

Klaus Geltl We both know, Katy can't sing live!
+Klaus Geltl it has more tone and emotion when Kelly sings it. Not everyone's awake getting penetrated every night!! This version has more to it!
Probably, but watch Katy's live performance of this song in Asia (2014)
Callum Preston Kelly doesn’t understand this song. That’s why it sounds all wrong and terrible sung like this.
She has a powerful voice which is definitely better than Katy's. I think she is almost as good as Christina Aguilera.
Her voice is great and I bought her albums, but she's definitely not better than Katy. Katy is Katy, and Kelly is Kelly. Know what I mean? And Kelly is not good here.
How on earth is this terrible sob and moan embarrassment 'better than Katy'?? Have you ever stood next to Katy singing her own songs in her powerful, energising way? If you had you wouldn't say this.
she is better than Aguilera tbh. Cristian could never sing Natural woman and Tennesee Waltz. Btw I love Christina but IMO Kelly is a better singer.
Diana Becerra I love Christina but you are absolutely right that Kelly is the BETTER singer!!!
Love you Kelly. Really, this made me cry, she have a powerfull voice and well, beautiful performance.
i love kelly she is the best at covers!!!:)
so much better than katy perry its not even funny
Kelly en vivo es super afinada, katy perry NO, Xd JAJAJAJ Kelly canta muchoo mejor que katy y la canto mejor :3
You're talking garbage, you haven't even heard Katy live. She's at least as good as Kelly.
Si lo digo es porque la escuche a katty perry cantando el tema firework y las desafinadas que tenia... dejaba mucho que desear
I love you Kelly!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!
lmfao def not better than katty perry, but still a good job
I LOVE this cover.
i was at this show she was soooo awesome!!! true singer see sounds sooo good live!!!
Beautiful version of a great song.

When I saw her live before she became famous, she was amazing. That was 11 years ago.
