Kelly Clarkson - Don't Play That Song - 2002

[@scottw6704]

One of the few women who can growl on a high G and not even blink. Amazing.

[@michaelangel22]

Fun fact: that is me holding the “I ❤️ Kelly” poster after Simon speaks 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ReverendMeat51]

No shit? That's awesome!

[@samsong24]

That's awesome!!! Wow, you got to witness my favourite Idol performance of hers LIVE!

[@timd5301]

Thanks for speaking for all of us that night.

[@outthedoorlife]

Kelly defined her win singing this song imo. Great… I’d buy it today.

[@Maryroachguilbeaux]

The single greatest Idol performance ever. And I’ll stand by that

[@dumdeedumlalala]

This was a great performance, for sure! She had other ones that I think stood out better (Stuff Like That There, You're All I Need, etc). Also, Tamyra Gray's "A House Is Not A Home" still gives me chills. And that's just from Season 1 :)

[@peterbalac1915]

I've just listened to Aretha, Mariah, and now Kelly God this version was something else hard to pick my favourite love them all ❤👏👏👏

[@ronaldkatsuki7413]

Me too.. Even I just watch ben e king.. Since he was the first..
Love this Song tbh..

[@1031E]

The Glennis Grace cover is the best.

[@1943ofour]

Ben E King

[@jburma]

2:24 "Kelly, Kelly, Kelly -- absolutely brilliant, man. I love your voice. You give me chills. Brilliant. Brilliant."

[@fellermister6628]

i came here from the Kelly Clarkson show Kellyoke - WOW!

[@Gimmyfree-coupons]

Check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing

[@kekhriezao]

I feel like I was the only one going around for Kelly's songs but apparently I'm not alone. haha

[@michaelangel22]

Kekhrie Zao These performances are gold 🙌🏽

[@RockPicard]

After all those years , don't know why this is not in the millions views !! One of the greatest singer !!

[@stephanieesmond2757]

Simon definitely predicted how down to earth Kelly would always be!

[@ReverendMeat51]

Was going to say the same thing!

[@nikipangman503]

Kelly Kelly Kelly! You give me chills. Truly the best American Idol champion. She totally knocked the ball right out of the park. Her rendition of this song was just smashing, maybe should have saved it for a future single hit. Imagine Kelly was just recovering from laryngitis, she had completely lost her voice the day before.

[@maureendeskins4178]

What pipes!

[@Gimmyfree-coupons]

Check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force , amazing

[@joanmaciel6178]

When you hear the covers, that’s the moment when you notice how hard and difficult are Aretha and Mariah’s songs!

[@thesovgc]

Kelly Kelly Kelly!

[@bluedasher74]

This is one of my favorite performances from her season of Idol. 👌✨ It's too bad that they didn't put her to close the show because she gave the best performance that night.

[@oiooi6460]

The moment she transcended the competition and became a superstar in waiting

[@danny3385xx]

Eargasm ❤️

[@JordanSmith-bp1cf]

COME ON, KELLY CLARKSON TAKE ME TO CHURCH ⛪️ RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

[@viciousLUA]

Lol the judges comments are so quick here, but I loved what Simon said. Kelly never became a diva!

[@Gimmyfree-coupons]

I love the way she sings the old songs, I love watching her sing, check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing

[@JordanSmith-bp1cf]

WELL, THIS NEXT SONG RIGHT HERE IS GOING TO TAKE ME TO CHURCH ⛪️ IS DON’T PLAY A SONG

[@JeanclaudeHouze]

Je voudrais bien les paroles écrites en français et en anglais comme j avais déjà vu sur ce titre ........merci jc😢

[@Kokoszek]

Don't play that song for me
'Cause it brings back memories
The days that I once knew
The days that I spent with you
Oh no, don't let em play it (oh no)
It fills my heart with pain (it hurts)
Please, stop it right away
'Cause I remember just what he said
He said darlin' (darlin' I)
And I know that he lied (oh, he lied)
You know that you lied (oh, he lied to me)
You know that you lied, lied, you lied (to me)
Hey mister, don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
I can't stand it
Don't play it no more (no more), no more (no more), no more, whoa-whoa (can't stand it)
I remember on our first date (ooh)
He kissed me and he walked away (ooh)
I was only seventeen (ooh)
I'd never dream he'd be so mean (ooh)
He told me darling (darling, I love you)
Baby, baby, you lied (oh, did I need you)
You, you lied (darling, I love you)
You know that you lied (you lied), lied (you lied), lied (to me)
Oh-oh-oh, you lied (darling I love you)
You know that you lied, yeah (darling, I need you)
You know I know you lied (darling, I love you)
Darling, you lied (you lied) you lied (you lied) you lied, go on and hurt me
You lied (to me)
Oh, whoa-oh, you lied
Oh, baby don't play it no more (don't play it no more)
Don't do it, don't play it no more (for me), no more (for me)
I can't stand it no more (don't play it no more)
Oh hey, don't play it no more (don't play it no more)

[@samhilton1979]

IDOL performance VS KC Show
Good high belt but out of control Technic and Emotion VS Better Technic even lower note but still surprised

[@joachimregalado8568]

She sang it in the same key in the kc show

[@princexl2783]

That's not true. Her control was actually incredible here. It was on a majourity of her Idol performances.

[@samhilton1979]

@@princexl2783 i mean shes better on the KCshow...her control..her tone..Dont get me wrong on idol on fire too ..I love KC

[@tannwich5350]

I bet even Aretha loves this.

[@tjschoenlein5189]

Why would anyone need to apologize for being from a small town? Moronic comment in my view...

[@StreamHypeBoyByNewJeans]

She was so pretty... Wish the current Kelly would lose weight

[@MissLonelyT]

Good right

[@ART-re1vq]

She sounds so pitchy ! Her singing has improved so much!

[@Thales1997]

Dee Zyre No. She doesn't sound pitchy. She sounds good and her belts are very powerful in this performance

[@Bloooo95]

No she doesn’t....

[@steveboysen877]

This is one of her best performances. Period.@@Bloooo95

[@primewilmusean829]

She sounds better during her debut era than later.

[@Gimmyfree-coupons]

There’s a story about the new guy who just starting his job as an radio announcer for the New York Yankees, During the first inning he said, “The Yanks look a little jittery today, “ He immediately got a phone call from the owner. “The Yankees never look jittery,” he said

[@MissLonelyT]

Nooo!!!!##

[@angeliquegramont4478]

Horrible je préfère la version de mariah carey

[@mrblowhard2u]

She'll never top Ben E. Kings version of this song. Ben E. King sang it from his heart.
