  • way to miss the entire point of the song : |

    i hate you kelly clarkson, i really do.

  • HO. LEE. FUCK.

  • Kelly hace fatal el cover. SE NOTA QUE NO HABEIS ESCUCHADO LA CANCION ORIGINAL

  • Jumping muppet

  • I am pleasantly surprised by this.

  • Great, great, great tune. Crappy recording.

  • La próxima vez que haga un cover que lo haga bien...

    

  • @DearAeillo como se nota que es la primera cancion que escuchas de kelly..

  • Comment removed

  • damn ! she loves her burger and fries

  • All this shit stain can do is cover. About as much talent as a can of baked beans

  • @32wallace She actually has a voice, and she can wail. She's a damn sight better than the rest of the shit you hear on top 40 radio these days. Kelly is the only artist from that glorified karaoke contest on FoxTV that I can actually tolerate.

  • When I first heard of this cover, I instantly thought (loving the White Stripes in every way) "Oh shit, she better not have f#cked this up...", but honestly this is a fairly decent cover, I was moderately impressed. Sure it's not great, but there have been much worse.

  • i didnt expect this to be as good as it is :) pessimistic me XD

  • I don't hate Kelly Clarskson, but it bugs me how she gets more mainstream media attention than the White Stripes. I mean seriously, everyone covers this song in concert and Penn State plays it every time they're on offense at football games. Either way, she did a hell of a job with this song. I would actually like to see Jack White play guitar with her singing sort of like what he's doing with a female vocalist in The Dead Weather. Only he's the drummer of the Dead Weather, so this would be new.

  • Kelly Clarkson is one of the most talented vocalist ever and she did this song justice. She's only one of the only female singers that has the right to sing rock songs because she has the voice for it! Watch other performances, the last high part is so amazing.

  • i really wish kelly clarkson went the hardrock and metal route, instead of pop... she could have done some KILLER tracks and gotten a much longer career.... : /

  • @irishmikelley What do you mean a much longer career? She's not going anywhere.

  • @ilovekelly75 shes also not making any new waves, or is even in the public eye anymore... she has just blended into the rest of the fuzz on the radio [which is VERY unfortunate]... i guarantee that if she drop-tunes her guitars a little bit, and rocks a sliiiiight bit more [and i do mean slight, like a guitar solo or something]. she could be pulling down grammys left and right; as well as get out from under that horrible "american idol shadow"

  • @irishmikelley Well every album has been successful, she just paces herself making them. Not to mention, she is coming off a #1 country hit several weeks running. It does seem like her next album is going to be taking more of an artistic turn. I hope it has songs that sound like what you're describing.

  • @ilovekelly75 Why not just have the originator of this song, who also happens to be one of the greatest guitarists to come out of the last decade, form a band with her singing. It would be a big deal for him because he's a drummer in a band with a female vocalist already. This time he would pay guitar. I think it would work really well considering what I just saw. Jack White and Kelly Clarkson isn't too far fetched, being that he's done stuff with Alicia Keys.

  • interesting but something doesn't feel right here. There are no limits to doing covers obviously but this is an odd choice for Clarkson and I don't think it was a good one even though she sang beautifully.

  • Watch the video of her performance of this song in Belgium. The whole atmosphere was soooooo good that night ;D

  • Oooooh

  • Wow....I'm a huge WS fan and I am shocked at how well she did with this song. I didn't like some of the added instrumentals in the back though...was it horns? Whatever it was annoyed me, but her singing was pretty damn good. I'm honestly shocked at how much I enjoyed it...I love it when a good female singer belts out some rock music.

  • what the fuck!!??

    she spoil this song!

    bit*h...

  • Kelly Clarkson sings it way better than even the original. For the idiots who don't know great talent, what will you accomplish in life? Nothing. What are you? Yeah, nothing.

  • cool

  • cheese massive!!

    o mi gawd!!!

  • When she get lumpy?

  • Its because shes not talented and has to just cover songs now

  • @goblew14 It's really not world news that singers cover other people's songs on their tour. Kelly does it every year and I'm pretty sure A LOT of singers do.

    She has four albums now, so she doesn't need covers to fill her program. She does the covers to suprise her fans.

    And it's absolutely ridiculous to even THINK that she's not talented. She's a more talented SINGER than Britney, Katy and Rihanna put together... She's amazing!

  • I think Id rather watchpuppies being boiled than to hear Kelly Clarkson defile this song any further...

  • @Amphigory712 Fuck off, creepy asswipe. Go shag that guy you've have the hots for down at the gym instead of taking your anger out on women online. 

  • At 0:56 she looks sooooo fat!!! OMFG

  • @clauagl you're fat

  • wicked

  • YOU CANNOT COVER THIS SONG KELLY CLARKSON!!!!!!!

  • @paisano85 ..... ah yeah she can!!!! She tore it up!!! Everyone says so!

  • @paisano85 ahhhh.... Yes she can...! everyone freakin loves it!!!

  • @paisano85 You're absolutely right.

    Kelly Clarkson doesn't cover songs. She makes them her own. She's the most amazing singer on this planet.

  • @ordinarycharmed no one even remembers her anymore shes a joke.

  • @Fuckingflesheater Haha, that's very funny... And very untrue. She was in the top 10 of best ticket selling female singers in 2010.. How would you explain that if nobody remembers her? Surely SOME people know about her existance!

    Besides, what makes you say that out of the blue? What did she ever do to you?

  • jesus..im a major stripes fan, and i dont think she did SUCH a bad job to be fair.. :L

  • She so hot and omfg at the high notes she can sing.

  • its WAAAAYYYYYYY tooo low for her.

  • i like it.

  • @KyUHLz Rude.

  • She should have been in the Dead Weather instead of that other broad. KC can really sing.

  • this seems to be a strange song for her to sing, but she put her own little flavor on it. It works for her voice.

  • what a pile of shit they made this song

  • I'm no fan of Kelly Clarkson, but I love the White Stripes, and I love a good cover of a great song. And this is definitely a pretty damn good cover. Generally I don't like when girls sing White Stripes songs - it just doesn't quite work - but this is amazing.

  • @StoriesNotScript have you heard alice russell's version? it's really good :P

  • wtf?! great! now i look at this entire song differently..., girls arent meant to sing garage blue nor rock, but no-we have kids singing songs like there 3 of age or havent been laid yet. (jonas, and justin beiber.) Give me a thumbs up if u agree?!

  • FUCK YOU KELLY CLARKSON! EAT MY SHIT!

  • fuck yeah

  • I have a feeling some of you that have commented on this would hate it even if Jack White himself said he liked it -- simply because it's Kelly Clarkson and by default you think you'd be uncool listening to her...why bother watching if you were gonna hate it either way? It seems like a waste of your time to me.

  • she got fat

  • ew why why she do that

    I was sitting there and I see this and i'm like oh no. but then i rethink it and say...hey maybe I shouldnt judge.

    but i was right.

    SUCK.

  • i think it sounds a bit too innocent. i like it, but no one can do these songs like jack, he's gold.

  • Whoever is Beefin on Kelly, I would like to see you outsing or out-cover a song her. Yeah, good luck with that.

  • chupa

  • Its very hard to screw this song up. Good job Kelly.

  • she looks AWESOME & she totally rocks it.

  • I'm a big White Stripes fan, bought all the albums, i didn't listen to Kelly's that much as well, but I GOTTA SAY she rocks singing that, i reaallly liked! It gave me goosebumps

    Nice work

  • what would jacky white think?

  • nice cover

  • Wow. She is so awesome! I'd love her to put out an album of her fans favorite concert covers. She has a great voice and really knows how to use it.

  • If you think she's fat, then you must be used to living with fucking skeletons.

  • i honestly don't see the point on getting mad about other artist making covers... it's just a way to express admiration to a wonderful song like "seven nation army"

  • appreciate that some artists like to cover other artists that they admire. appreciate that some artists like to reinterpret songs. appreciate that she is a great vocalist. you might like the white stripes, but no one will respect you unless you say something respectable.

  • WOW she has big hips and booty

  • Buy a clue. It's not about your favorite song or your favorite band. Life does extend further than beyond the tip of your nose.

    "Seven Nation Army Lyric Meaning -- as Covered by Kelly Clarkson"

    h t t p : / / tiny . cc / ENdXJ

  • @plumbercorey your a douche bag

  • Noooooooooooooooo.. Stop making this song popish Ms. Clarkson.. Basically the only band I like is the White Stripes.. Don't mess that up for me

  • Im sorry but what the fuck is this.

  • its pretty amazing music, thats what.

  • Yeah, when The White Stripes play it.

  • Lols you do realise stripes never ever in their second third fourth life will have this good voice :).

    It's difficult to hear another singer sing other songs that you listened to cause youre so used to the original version it is difficult to like the cover.

    Atleast she did justice to this song and to me it sounds alot better cause i appreciate vocals and i understand when people actually can sing -.-..

    Kelly has voice of our generation she can kill any song if she wants to

  • @BladeAndSoul the thing is that it's not always about high notes. It's also about the right tune and sound. This was a total disaster. I love Kelly's voice and she would have done a great job with this song if it wasn't for the whole band playing and her trying to sing it like a pop song. Besides The White Stripes albums are among the best of the last decade. Not only based on vocals but also on instrumentation.

  • @zerowhitestripes white stripes suck worse than your momma!

  • Nice way too post two comments that both have no meaning to this argument.

    I already backed up The White Stripes being superior to clarkson with facts, you just use opinion. Also notice Clarksons covering The White stripes, not the white stripes covering clarkson.

    And your a stupid cunt.

  • Also i realise you think kelly is screaming but it's called high notes which stripes cant do either hahah pwnt :D.

    She added high notes to their song and it sounds awesome

  • To bad I didn't say shit about screaming.

    And guess what, Jacks voice is far above average, and while it may not be the voice of the generation neither is Clarksons. Wow shes one out of 10 and counting people to win gay ass american idol.

    And also Kelly is a tool. She doesn't write her music and just shamelessly goes with what she sees on a piece of paper.

    White Stripes are held in much higher regard than her by review powerhouse such as Rolling Stone and The Grammys.

  • The White Stripes have won 5 grammys topping Kellys 2 grammy wins. Also White Stripes received 5th and 19th best album of the decade AND 6th and 48th best song of the decade from RS. Jack was also ranked 17th best guitarist of all time.

    Also Jack has 3 succesful critically acclaimed bands all going at once.

    Thats whats up.

  • @zerowhitestripes they still chug cock, like you!

  • i like

  • she shouldnt be aloud to touch that song... or anyones but her own

    (not that she's a bad singer...but she shouldnt touch something so...well...better than her stuff)

  • it's not better than her stuff

  • she has nothing on the white stripes

  • That's not what the charts say.

  • yes well the charts also say people like Miley Cyrus have some talent as well, but that's clearly just a fail on their part

  • who's to say that seven nation army is better than her stuff?!!!! she fuckin did a rock version of since u been gone and she did an amazing cover of GNR sweet child o mine not to mention, (even though she was inebriated at the time) she did badass harmonies with metal skool! she F'ing grew up listenin to metallica so dont u dare say she's not allowed to touch White Stripes!!!!

  • ok first of all, get you prepubescent balls out of a twist and go watch some twilight to calm down. second, i never said she wans't talented, i was just stating my personal opinion about how i feel, i feel that she should stick to her own thing. she made a cover, good for her, any one can make a cover. the point of what the WS's do is to make it a bare bones song, she amp'ed it up, and it defeats the purpose. and dont i dare? what are you, 13?

  • the whole point of a cover is to make it your own, if you think this is bad look up Joss Stone Fell in love with a boy

  • ya, i got that part, i said that know a cover is to make it your own. are you people just reading selectively? honestly, come on now.

    i'm permitted as much as you to voice my opinion on a video as anyone else, and just because i dont like something, doesn't mean that everyone who masturbates to kelly clarkson needs to attack me....i cant help but notice that anyone who disliked this video has a thumbs down rating...apparently thinking for yourself is not aloud any more.

  • Of course ou are entitled to your own opinion, just like people who disagree are entitled to give you thumbs down, not saying you're wrong, just that they disagree

  • @IrelandPunk I think Kelly blew this one out of the box. I love WS's version but how on earth does it defeats the purpose when it's a cover? The purpose of a cover is to put your own mark to the song. And believe me, not everyone can do that. Certainly not as well as Clarkson.

    Besides some covers, believe it or not, are better than the original. (Not referring to this video or anything.)

  • explain to me why it is, that i can say i dislike this, but still say she is not a bad singer, but others are on here saying she's a fat ass and no one is bothering to say anything to those people?

    and i work for Road Runner Records, I see enough bands that do covers to know that they can be good.

  • @IrelandPunk I don't know. I didn't scroll to previous comments. I just didn't understand your 'defeats the purpose' comment. since it's a cover. That's all.

    And Roadrunner Records? The heavy metal record label? Wow, impressive. I'm actually really interested in the music industry. What division are you in?

  • I'm in the Road Crew Devision (there are office, road crew, street team, and internet and others im sure). I work show's and make sure swag is being passed out properly and that the posters are on display properly at shows, and then i get to have some one on one time with the bands to see what they do and dont like (most about RRR) and then just general hang time

  • @IrelandPunk Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get your foot into the industry? Like, academically.

  • Well I go to loads of concerts every year, and a lot of the bands I like are on the RRR label. I would talk to the bands, and some how manage to get myself backstage and what not, and then i started talking the people from RRR that were working the shows. One of the 'upper' people from RRR remembered me after a while and told me to apply for Road Crew, and he'd put in a good word. I filled out a huge application and sent it in, and about a month later, I was welcomed on to the team.

  • @Ervincwj the last part especially goes for Rihanna's Umbrella, every single version I've heard is better than the original.. anywayz, well put :)

  • @Ervincwj Yeah I agree. Not everyone can use multiple mics in their performances and she does it with ease.

  • no actually i'm about to be 21, and if anyone's being prepubescent it's you!! you may have been stating your opinion but you did so rudely, nd from what i'm seeing,most of the ppl here agree with me! yeah she may just be a "pop singer" doing a cover but i'm pretty certain that white stripes have many a cover in their career, which by your reasoning means those songs have too lost all their depth and meaning. so back off!

  • Wow, isn't you're over use of exclamation points charming.

    A cover doesnt mean the song has lost it's meaning/depth, however you'd like to put it. It's how it's presented. Clearly you've missed my point. You say I'm being rude, but I'm not. I'm saying i dislike the cover, & that I think she shouldn't have done the cover. I'm not the one saying she's a fat arse. Go yell at those people, they are the one's being rude. Maybe if you use enough exclamation points they will believe you're almost 21.

  • someone got a little chunk mc'chunk chunk

  • beautiful voice!

  • she is soooo hot!!!!.....i love her BOB

  • i love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love this song. My band mixes this song up alot. I think covers should do that. Check my bands cover out if ya want to. But this is still great. Epic Song.

  • just saw her for the first time at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas.

    absolutly the best show i have ever seen my whole life. This song had the whole crowd jumping up and dancing! i love her!

  • Kelly is such a good rock singer that it's insane.

  • She is awesome! I wish I could download this to my ipod.

  • you can, there are websites for taking mp3s off youtube videos

  • Did Kelly get fat? Nooooo!!

  • ok seriously who cares if it's not like the original when she sang the hell out of this song?

    she did amazing and the fact that the Stripes say it's not like the original,

    is pretty stupid.

    it's a cover, it's not supposed to be like the original. DUH.

    get over yourselves people.

  • impressed!

  • its ok if you dont like KC, but don't knock her vocal ability.....she did a great job...not arguable....

  • this is actually really good! wouldn't expect kelly clarkson to do a cover, but it's not really bad.

  • Wow, she looks and sounds amazing. I don't understand why White Stripes fans would be upset about this, she's obviously singing the song because she likes and respects them. Grow up.

  • I am a huge Stripes fan and am therefor, pretty much by definition, not a Kelly Clarkson fan. But, she's showing love to the White Stripes and she did sing the hell out of that song. Maybe she even turned some of her fans on to TWS.

  • I do not understand how anyone can say this is a bad cover. 7 nation army is one of the best songs of all time, and she sings the hell out of it while putting her own spin on it. And if she had done it exactly how it was "supposed" to be, then you all would be complaining that she is unoriginal. Honestly, stop hating.

  • How can you say that she ruined this song? Are you deaf? She has one of the best voices in the industry. Sure it may not be like the original, but she made it her own. You should like her more for trying to cover a song by the White stripes considering SHES A FAN TOO. Get over yourself. She did amazing.

  • maybe shes a fan. but im not deaf (imo :D) and i tell ya: the spirit of the song seven nation army is like minimal techno: JUST THE THINGS THAT ARE NEEDED TO RECOGNIZE ANY MELODY you know why jack used a bass pedal and no bass player? because its MEANT to be minimal...white stripes are minimal rock :D

  • for seven nation army..two are enough and no more^^

  • agreed

  • This is amazing. way better than the original

  • Thumbs down

  • I figured some people wouldn't agree, but Kelly Clarkson is undisputably an amazing vocalist.

  • Can't argue there. I'm just a White Stripes fan.

  • @ilovekelly75 i wouldn't say better, just different and amazing in it's own way.

  • really?

  • Not a bad cover, but I think people are -missing the point - glamming the song defeats the spirit of it since the essence of the White Stripes was that it was bare bones rock

  • this is true^^ agreeed^^

  • When the Stripes cover "Jolene", do they do it like Dolly Parton would? When they cover "Jack The Ripper" do they do it like Screaming Lord Sutch? I could go on. The point of a cover is to make it your own, not just play it like the original artist would have.

  • Her whole show was crazy amazing but this was the highlight for me!!

    KELLY ROCKS!!! <3

  • Huge White Stripes fan here -- she killed this for sure! I was definitely impressed.

  • GO KELLY!!! YOU ROCK

  • Awesome of course. Kelly rocks!

  • i think she did an absolute amazing job. i saw her last night in ac and she did an awesome job!

  • Love this!! thank you!

  • i was there front row

    she gained some weight

  • funny...this video proves otherwise, u just sound ridiculous, i bet even the white stripes approve, god only knows what ur problem is :S and she probly didnt set out with th sole intent of pleasing you...believe it or not

  • She covered Lies very well I thought. You die-hard fans need to quit thinking she's stealing the song. It's just a cover.

  • maybe u shud go cut urself sum more...take th hint...no1 cares...NO1

  • sensational and well done kelly!!!! i see her on halloween for the 4th time!! cant wait! 1:48-2:10....just got chills! :)

    kc fan in missouri~

  • this is amazing! thank you for posting it!!

  • woow she's amaziiing love u kellyyy <3

  • there have been lots of covers of this, but it's safe to say this is near to the top. and easily the best female rendition.
