Kelly Clarkson: Stuff Like That There

[xXinXtheXasylumXx]

...and we have celebrities like Britney Spears, Kesha, Dev....etc etc etc

[justschr]

Wow she's so fat now...

[ilovekelly75]

@justschr You're an idiot. She's one of the few celebrities at a healthy weight. She's not going to purposely throw up like all the other female celebrities just because you want her to.

[t1a9c13ful]

@ilovekelly75

yeah, ur right. i still love kelly. so what if she's gained weight? i hope she doesn't feel bad and continues to sing. her voice is just...... WOW.

[horarwgt]

Kelly does a good job approximating the explosive 1945 classic Betty Hutton orginal hit version of this song. For the whole song, check out Betty's version on YouTube.

[KarleyIsAvrilsNo1Fan]

This is awesome! hahaha I LOVE YOU KELLY<3 I hope to see you again very soon! I haven't seen you live since '05!

[duffybrady]

she can do anything! Fantastickly!

[TheOoKevin]

The firstest and still the bestest. All of the songs that she excelled at, including this one, just goes to prove that she is not being currently challenged. She is so much better than the cookie cutter songs that she is now singing. With songs like "I Surrender", "Without You", and others, she proved that she could match anything that the "big three" could do. I just love her voice and control.

[Lthrboots]

My favorite performance by Kelly Clarkson. She knocked it out of the ballpark on this one.

[MHBombo18]

This was fantastic! She is still the best AI to date.

[iconnian]

Easy ti see why she won.........

[athornontherose]

Best performance EVER. :)

[lagofala]

is it just me or does she look a bit like alison iraheta here?

[MiguelFRCable]

she did'n seem to try it hard! shejust came out extremaly easy!!

[bethelducky]

@nickargyle Couldn't agree more. She's so cheeky.

[reesespieces22]

I miss when American Idol used to be like this. No one can beat Kelly Clarkson!

[MiguelFRCable]

@reesespieces22 you are absolutly right!

[jmds88]

this was truly her best performance in the competition.

[kingshane94]

Looks like it was pre-recorded? It's great though

[wiseguyknowsit]

@kingshane94 No it wasn't. You're not allowed to do that in a singing competition.

[MrMonsterlock]

@kingshane94 you cant lip sync or pre-record any of your tracks while being a contestant in a singing competition, are you fucking serious asking that question?? its a singing competition, not some brittany spears concert, wow you do you even know american idol??? its a serious singing competition, all live, she even sang i surrender live while having voice cracks because her voice was tired out of all the previous live singing, please that comment is NOT and WILL NEVER BE for Kelly Clarkson..

[MrLuigiable]

Kelly please these kind of music instead of just rock/pop music which I don't really enjoy thoroughly.. I like old school music!!

[ninfan92]

DIVA!

Seriously, this is absolutely incredible. It's like she took on a character just for the performance. Even better, I had the privilege of seeing her perform this live on tour, and it was even better. Ugh!

[greenwoodtea]

Ive seen this vid about 300 times...and I just realized this version---is the best version of any artist!!!! including Bette Midler...!!!

Kelly---even this early in the IDOL show---was already performing at a level that is Hall of Fame .....She is among the greatest singers and performers of all time.

[six55three2one]

Must have missed this performance live, but when I found this video, I decided that Kelly Clarkson is the best Idol performer yet. Love this sound, love this era, love Kelly. Hate the post-modernistic camera work! Really want to see Kelly sing all of this song... just her, nothing else.

[sanchemusic]

Dang! I forgot how good this one was! She was my 2nd fave behind Tamyra, but by this point in the season, I fully expected Kelly to win.

[truthisnice]

Now that is talent. Step outside the familiar and own it in every way.

[charliebergy101239]

@nickargyle great comment!!!! right on the mark!

[mhart78676]

She absolutely nailed the era. The inflections are perfect and the voice is just so suited to be singing it. Wonderful performance.

[AceOfDiamonds29]

...Kelly needs to stop producing the conventional pop stuff and try an album or two of this. This kind of noise could bring back the glory of the Big Band era to our modern day. (I still feel terrible I wasn't alive back when this music was popular.)

[LivingLegendMedia]

I wasnt a Kelly fan in the beginning, but i remember this moment very clearly. This is when she stood out to me!

[ghb61]

This is not the 2nd best "Idol" performance ever. It is the absolute BEST performance in the show's history. Everything nickargyle and 313TTra wrote in their posts here says it all!

[wonderland610]

Best American Idol performance of all time, for sure. This made Kelly a star. I miss this quality on Idol...

[appledumpling032]

SPECTACULAR DONT U MEAN??

[Mernerwastaken]

amazing amazing amazing

[55jaro55]

Just listening to this again...somehow I really love it! Thanks for posting this!

[peterdaniel66]

This song and Kelly makes me grrrrrrowwl... Grrrrrr..

[charliebergy101239]

i agree-- it would be great if Kelly would make a CD of songs of this genre! i'd definitely buy it! she's sensational!

[IdaRuda]

I'd love it if she recorded this

[snickerjonesmeg]

OMGGG! She is so amazing! I love this song!

[melowe8]

Love this

[luckeyhal]

all u beyonce fans she does not sing all her songs with a live mic do u understand Kelly does

[realkellyclarksonme]

this rocks!

[sethsakeeper]

she needs to sing the whole song on one of her cds !

[NYChica23]

@sethsakeeper Agreed...I'd def buy whatever CD she came out with if it had this song ♥♥

[ParksM5]

Wow! What a performance--I never knew she could sing like that. I wonder if she could do that today. Good for her! :)

[SharpCookies]

Wow, this was freaking AMAZING. Do more stuff like this, Kelly!

[GosfordAbercrombie]

this shit is fucking perfect!!!!!

[jsidewinder]

Bette Midler performs this song in the movie "For the Boys". She plays a USO-type entertainer singing for the troops in WW II.

[lovecountrymusic12]

is this song off of a movie? if so whats the name?

[stoningking]

Kelly has the classic voice. Her rendition of at last, beats christina's and beyonce's. SHE should have done back to basics.

[JimmyRH2005]

Love love love this song! Kelly Rocks! =)

[lyricsandinfo]

if i could rewind things back to what season in american idol i would like to visit again. then season 1 would be the period i wanrt to go back again.. i also want to watch how kelly savor the moment when she won american idol.. i love kelly

[centzon]

Sometimes old Idol performances that you remember as being "great" at the time don't quite measure up when you revisit them years later...but this one is as amazing as ever. STILL one of the best AI moments of all time!

[amarettaludia]

Kelly was awesome singing "big band music and Swing" as she was singing a "blues" song from the days of Billie Holiday. Those songs were sang during the AI1 Competition and she was awesome at it. The Universities kids are all into "Swing" dancing and Big Band Music today. I wish she would do some of this now.

[damsel2007]

I really like Kelly's rendition of this song.

[Jule0104]

amazing

[olhole]

Smokin' performance.

In this performance, Kelly Clarkson reminds me of Patty Andrews of the Andrews Sisters; and she even looks a little bit like her too.

[FiestaTexas01]

Total awesomeness!

[ewkakc]

amazing!!!!

[928sniper]

Kelly's Natural woman was even better IMO. This is the 2nd best performance in Idol history. :)

[jenie212]

best performance by an idol contestant evvvaaah

[bluewhale18]

still the best performance ever

[freecas]

wow!

[Sirwastealot]

This is the first idol performance that really blew people away and i dont think anyone's even matched it since.

[ash12488]

I totally agree I loved when she sang this and I dont think its been matched since. Even till this day I still think of it.

[BestScreenameEver]

This performance gives me chills. Kelly can sing anything.

[shojonael]

I adore this song iz's so incredible and kelly has such a wonderful brilliant voice...LOVEEEEE ITTTT

[passi0nfruit25]

She is so dang VERSATILE! pop, rock, power ballads, blues, you name it! this was one of American Idol's best performances ever. she looks great here too! Go Kelly!! I can't wait for your new album :)

[TVATodd]

I remember seeing this on Idol and realizing she was the real deal. This is when I became hooked on Idol. This song. Plus she's hot in this clip! LOL

[buhdoble]

no puede cantar ese temaaa jajaja. no tiene la voz para hacerlo. tiene linda voz, pero no, ese tema no.

[codeblue2187]

i cant understand that

[JCartagena89]

WOW!!! KELLY can sing anything!!!!!

[hardinja01]

Kelly is just awesome!!!!!

[3l3TTra]

This is just so perfect! Seems like a scene from a movie, can't believe it happened on live tv! No other idol performance has yet surpassed this one in the US or UK.

Kelly you are the greatest!!

[SmplKindOfLvly88]

there are no words to describe how incredibly amazing this performance is.

[ub3rsc00ber]

You need more than just a voice to pull off any Big Band song. That music came from an era of music wasn't just simply sang; it was felt. Kelly Clarkson has the personality and stage presence to pull off Big Band song which is incredibly rare. Sure, there are plenty of people who have the natural tone, but they usually lack the other half to make any big band song authentic

[daisynatural]

ohh..this another good and excellent preformance from kelly during AI after Natural woman..she's so cute here and i loved the way she sang this song...and..she's beautiful here...hehe;)

[IloveKCxox]

Carrie CAN'T do this.

<3 Kelly

[osahju914]

carrie + big band = UGH!!!!

KELLY is better

[Jahjjj]

Quite possibly the best Idol performance, period. Everything else seems amateur.

[smileuall]

She should record this.

[ninfan92]

Kelly did an absolutely AMAZING job singing this song. Her performance made her look like a natural.

[otarish]

in ai she's the only one who can do it..haha

[ilovekelly75]

swing music, i guess, Michael Buble can do it really well, but not as well as Kelly does this

[SmplKindOfLvly88]

She's amazing.

[yepthatsme8787]

shes soooo funny !!

[blueride38]

I've never seen a better performance of this song as performed by Bette Midler in the movie "For The Boys"...after you see this...you'll see Kelly's version could have been MUCH beter.

[ilovekelly75]

I just watched it on here. Since Kelly's is the version I'm used to, I wasn't as impressed by Bette's. She does a great job, but not even close to Kelly. She gives me chills every time. Plus, she has a more powerful voice for the big notes.

[betaaaaa]

I loved that.

[dreamdisneyhill]

She resembles Judy Garland when she sings this song :) and it makes me happy

[melloe]

the original & best.

[uberrios]

I love her facial Expressions when she sings. She is so cute. lol

[uberrios]

I love this perfromance. This shows you that she can sing just about anything. Nobody in any season except for Jordin Sparks and Carly Smithson can song like her. She is # 1 in my book.

[Maximum179]

u forgot Carrie

[uberrios]

Oh Yeah! Sorry!

[osahju914]

and lakisha

[osahju914]

what about vonzell and david archuleta? and brooke white? and a-fed?

[osahju914]

and melinda

[jenie212]

This is my fave kelly clarkson performance. I really became a fan after seeing her sing this.

[chatterbox1229]

wow this is amazing! I like her range and her ability to make a seemingly boring theme a lot of fun to watch...

[centzon]

This performance makes a lot of "Best of AI" lists -- and with good reason. Kelly shows such spunk here, and her voices sounds fantastic.

[qdome]

100% totally agree...Underwood? Sure, great...not Clarkson. Daughtry...blast to see him make it...not Daughtry. Fantasia? Aiken? Just not Clarkson (or Tamayra Grey for that matter...I'd put her at #2 in terms of raw vocal ability and performance talent)

[indycat47]

That's the only time I can recollect an audience on their feet.

[gailduran]

This is the performance that made Kelly stand out from the rest --she clearly showed she is a winner

[diguinhos2kelly]

I love all her performances

she is so sexy in this

i love her

she is the best

and she made this song...wordeful

and this song is so difficut

[lolh3h3h3aeg]

Best performance ever on American Idol :O

[Tuciiii14]

Perfect. I love this performance. I actually love almost all her performances.

[SClubRachel7]

Nisiquiera se aprendio bien la letra...

She doesn't know the lyrics...

[xchangedyoux]

What's she saying 1:27-1:30?

[callseba]

great great great performance

[marco114]

chills.

[ray8]

She was amazing singer though....... Truly remarkable... Lucky us to have that bright star shine upon us by music

[MusicAdd4ever]

I can't believe my ears.

[musicallywild123]

perfection...i went to a concert of hers in January and she waz just amazing, she waz hittin high notes lyke it waz nothing, so i dont understand this whole i miss this kelly clarkson nonsense...anywayz this waz brilliant!!!

[shmuckzz]

i wish more contestants sang song like this..!!

[alowaaaaa]

Ai is so lucky to have found her..

[abangel16]

I think her voice is so much better suited for music like this. Her kind of pissy rock singing is good, but I feel she's pushing it too much and you can hear that her voice is beginning to give out. I miss the Kelly Clarkson I used to love!

[osahju914]

Better than bette, yes, but Betty Hutton kicks her to the curb. Kelly does a stellar job though

[osahju914]

Betty Hutton, from 1944, before Bette was born.

[hersheyspresents]

i love this omg i think she is the best i miss her being on idol. she is so cool and loves everyone!

[KKBrit]

Wow Awesome!! What a voice...control...stage presence....she still has these things!!

[luxcretia2]

it is "her"song.the best song she did yet( in my opinion)

[jackson4socks]

No one could have done that better!

[ldrockstar69]

omg! she looks so beautiful!!

[k2a4]

oooooh-that would be awesome!!!!!

[omgcutiestephy]

i miss this kelly clarkson.

[purexample]

she has great stage presence

[Calo0o]

She's vocally perfect..

[EliseWhatever]

excellent ! =D

[volcanicrain]

amazing!!!

[mrwafi]

so good...

[dancindude03]

kelly so rules.

[allyx3]

<3333333333

[curiegurl]

Who sings the original?

[osahju914]

betty hutton

[2RLadies]

This is my favorite kelly performance.

[luxcretia2]

ok, because in Germany there's just one known guy who can sing.

[blue4penguins911]

oh my gosh she is just too good!

[hokieashleyt]

I love this performance so much. She sounds great, but what sets her apart is how well she performs as far as acting and playing to the audience. She could absolutely be a fierce, sexy starlet from the big band era here.

[semicolin]

for real? kelly can outsing carrie on any song, any day of the week. this performance blows away anything carrie did on idol, including "alone" (which i did really enjoy, but which was also bettered by the harmony of the backup singers and a better arrangement than idol usually sees).

[OrdinaryGirl22]

kelly isnt a god... good lord.

[semicolin]

no, she's just a better singer than carrie underwood. i have never tried to deify her.

[scarcastic]

Best Idol performance ever! Some compare her to Carrie?!!! Get it together...

[OrdinaryGirl22]

carrie and her are amazing.

[soundsatdjs1964]

I knew right then and there that not only would Kelly WIN American Idol, but that she was a huge star that was born! It's hard to believe that she went from this performance to where she is now.

[Orsex]

I love this performance!!

[krum13]

second best AI performances ever (the 1º its carrie's alone)

[st0602]

i could not agree more, carrie did hearts alone a little better than kelly did stuff like that there. they are both amazing tho!! when were the good days when good singers won idol...

[aduchaaa]

wow great song ;)

by the way i love her voice

[latifa84]

She won!!!

[boozehound420]

Ive jacked of to this video like 50 times,

[XyIv]

and to think they stuck her with Justin for a year.

[luxcretia2]

TOP

[st0602]

I LOVE KELLY!!! She placed 2nd in world idol but she should've won. She probably would've if she sang this.

[luxcretia2]

and who did win?

[st0602]

im pretty sure the guy from germany...not sure tho

[luxcretia2]

you mean Mark Medlock?

[free2bfierce]

she's out of this world! One of Idol's best!!!

[galadriel6969]

um, ONE of? I think she's THE best so far. Carrie is good, but nothing like k.

[free2bfierce]

LOL! You'e right! I meant this performance is one of the best! check out my countdown on my myspace blog at myspace(dot)com(forwardslash)g­ilbertgonzalezjr

Top blog "American Idol's BEST PERFORMANCES EVER!

Kelly is the BEST CONTESTANT EVER! NO ONE COMPARES!

[luxcretia2]

WOW

[spankykit]

WOW that is realy good. I have never seen her perform in American idol, mainly because by the time it got to Australia i think the USA were in ther 3rd season but still lol

[XyIv]

I still remember that performance. When I saw that I knew she was going to win.

[mowho33]

holy friggin. i loved it then and i'm happy i found it here again. that was great. her best for sure.

[stampnstom]

:)

love ya, kel!!! :D :)

[pajodaep]

i started watching american idol only during the 3rd season. Gosh! i didn't know there were also good performers during the first season.
