  • dunkleman. LAWL

  • after all this she still the same person with the fame i love u kelly <3

  • love love LOVE Kelly...but what was she wearing during this performance?

  • "You made it...but you have no shoes on.." LOL

    <3 Kelly ^_^

  • @BrownSugar253 go back to watching Taylor Swift. Kelly can Slay both of them, whoever they are.

  • :0. . . <3

  • what the fuck is she wearing?

  • @AlisonsMannequin she's whatever those people at idol wanted her to wear, why do you care, she's not joining fashion idol anyway.

  • that was good but jacob lusk's version is like 1000 times better and more birlliant, still luv Kelly though

  • @nooneveryimportant No Lusk didnt even come close to Clarksons version. Kelly has soul. Jacob not so much,

  • @tilnej oh c'mon, you can be a huge fan of kelly but this time you're wrong. Jacob mixed it all and totally owned the song, his version was just brilliant, spectacular, this is good but predictable.

  • CHURRRRR . . . . . . .

  • Amazing!

  • Amazing voice.Too bad her voice got damaged over the years

  • @kayliahferrero her voice is even better now !!

  • miracle! xd

  • "Ya'll did a great job!" LMFAO

  • The fact that people even compare Kelly to Jacob is ridiculous.

  • WHAT HAPPENED TO A,MERICAN IDOL????!!!!!! WHY AREN'T THERE PERFORMANCES LIKE THIS ANYMORE??! :(

  • @tipofmytongue1024 instead they're covering kelly's songs....interesting how that works...

  • She is dressed like a vampire because she makes one sexy little vampire and guys like me like seeing cute girls like kelly dressed in cute little outfits! she should have worn a black ribbon choker with a pendant on it to complete the look. Still very sexxxy tho!

  • kelly and haley reinhart are my favorites everrr on american idol <33

  • its funny that paula says she has the X Factor. little did they know that Simon would create the show and have her judge it! nice

  • I don't get why people are comparing Jacob to Kelly?

    Comparing a male vocal performance to a female's makes no sense.

    Plus factor in this

    -Kelly sang to a backing track, Jacob Sang with a band

    -Kelly had laringytis and couldn't even talk earlier, Jacob was healthy

    ==============================­==========================

    Love this performance :D everything seemedd just right, the voice, and her stage presence, it all seemed so effortless . Kelly really knew who she was, artistry wise

  • Comment removed

  • she does sing like that but in her cds latley she chages them up to have a cool beat to it she still sings fantastic lizziehanleymusic.

  • Why doesn't she sing like this anymore???

  • @lizziehanleymusic she does, you just have to pick up an album to actually hear it. lol she's comin up with another album at the end of this year btw. just sayin...lol

  • Her and Jacob Lusk should do this together...

  • Comment removed

  • I hope that was the last song of the night. I would hate to sing after that performance.

  • @ATLOffroad No, A.J. Gil and Christina Christian were after her.

  • KellyKellyKelly...Yiis! ;)

  • After 10 seasons of AI, this version is still the one to beat

  • Jacob Lusk performed this on Live With Regis this morning he was awful! Kelly's performance is far superior, not only tone but her pitch is perfect.

  • Tough to take on a Marvin Gaye song. Not bad.

  • Pfft whatever. Jacob did a pretty descent job at this song but Kelly's is way better.

  • she was hot back then

    

  • So for those comparing Jacob's to Kelly's performance, obviously the track in Kelly's song is much faster than jacob's. They had completely different bands. If Jacob did it back then, they would have him sing it in a similar fashion. Likewise, if Kelly sung it today, she would have been able to take her time more especially with the producer they have working with them this year! But I don't see why we're comparing! Kelly has won grammies....Jacob is just getting started! Come on people!

  • @zeusbadger1 yeah kelly's season didn't even have a band...they just had backing tracks playing.

  • @zeusbadger1 right?? People need to just shut up about who's version is the best and just enjoy the freaking music! Both Jacob and Kelly are amazing!!!!!

  • Yowl?

    

  • to all Jacob's fans, please go somewhere else. why are you here? please bark somewhere

  • Comment removed

  • Good.. but a little fast. 

  • my hear melts with that smile..

  • Jacob's version was a lot more soulful. Both were good but Jacob takes the pie I'm afraid.

  • Jacob Lusk's performance is HORRIBLE in comparison to Kelly's. And even if he HAD performed this song better than Kelly, umm.. yeah. Why don't we start comparing them once Jacob is also a multi-platinum, grammy-award-winning, international superstar. What's that? He'll never be one? Oh, right. Too bad.

  • kelly's version is way better than jacob's. the fact that she's white but still manage to put so much soul in to the song is such a big compliment.

  • Jacob Lusk performance is Million times better than Kelly Version

  • Jacob Lusk kills this song , Kelly did ok but she goes way to fast thought

  • kelly clarkson's version>>>>> jacob lusk

  • Both versions are good, but Kelly has the better vocal.

  • wow jacob is better

  • kelly >>>>>>>>> Jacob !!

    no comparison really , the best contastent on idol history is untachouble .

  • Electric

  • Thumbs up if you came to see this video because of Jacob Lusk's performance, and found it a total let down in comparison.

  • @fleediddy05 total and complete let down, but then again, no matter who I watch sing this song, they will not be able to surpass Jacob.... and yes, I searched the song just to see how close someone would get to his performance. I believe if Simon was still on there, he would say that 2011 has no competition for Jacob.

  • Kelly has this magnetism about her within this performance which just draws you in. There are so many who go up there and try to perform. Kelly, however, just does. She's a natural born performer.

    And we won't get started on the voice. Seriously...I've noticed that many girls this season, while they do have the range, lose power as they go higher. Kelly retains that power making her high notes so much more effective and tasty.

  • Jacob Lusk > Kelly Clarkston

  • wow kellys gives me goosebumps :D amazing

  • I got to say Kelly's version was just in another dimension. Jacob was ok in the beginning. Later on, the backup singers screwed it up actually, you can't hear him much. At the end, he kind of doing it ok. The issue here is he just did it probably similar to the old way.

    Kelly made it much more modern like today's song. So it's creative, artistic, but very good to listen to (not just different). It's actually better than some of her own songs after she became a star.

  • guess who led us here. lOl, Kelly's always amazing! jacob did twist it up a little bit and that shows his authenticity and versatility.

  • Watching this again confirmed my suspicion that there is something wrong this season.

  • This performance seems flawless to those who didn't grow up on motown and are use to watered down versions. this was ok but this can't even touch Jacobs performance. it was silk and power. no comparison.

  • Jacob sang it good but Kelly's cover version is flawless!

  • i want to f.. kelly 

  • ryan looks like clay with that hair

  • @Jujuhzinhanfg Hahhahahahahahahahahaha

  • so miracle haha too cute!!

  • *Kelly covers her ears*

    Kelly...

    Hello...

    I think you've just raised the game, haven't you?

    Ah!

    As they say in Texas, y'all did a great job.

    We don't talk like that! I don't.

    *Simon laughs*

  • Man, I miss paula, and simon....I miss this show. I miss season 1. Man.

  • @trisrays yea paula is the man

  • Kelly Clarkson is one of the few people on American Idol that actually deserved to win. She has an amazing voice.

  • She has laryngitis? WOW shes fabulous

  • Kelly does have charisma. And a wonderful aspect to her performances is her command of the stage and how she relates to her audience. It just seems so natural for her. Not all idols have it and I won't name names.

  • does someone have an instrumental for this song? can't find it nowhere

  • I think the reason why she won was because she was so much fun to listen to!

  • OHH WOW....She sounds like the original,or even better!

  • This is awesome but she totally sung it like a white girl. Lmao. (not even being racist)

  • why is she dressed like a vampire?

  • @kaylajoytom Haha.. Shes on the darkside.. She probably freak simon out *Ahem*

  • @kaylajoytom Rey's second class, from Grand Chase, was inspired by this look hahaha xD

  • @kaylajoytom beautiful legs by the way :)

  • The original is always the best:)

  • isn't this the one where she lost her voice right before the performance??? o.O

  • there were lots contestants who had equal or more talent as kelly clarkson. BUT the one thing that made kelly go far and made her stand out in idol history was that she didn't take herself seriously and let go on stage. today's contestants are so serious about winning and technicality in my opinion.

  • @lee4ivy you are right ... but i idont think there were any contestants that have more or even equel talent as kelly !!!!

  • Wow......just wow. This woman was just kept surprising us. All of her performances would have your jaw dropping all the way to hell. What an amazing singer. America has talent, and Kelly CLarkson is the epitome of what true talent was. I just couldn't stop saying wow during this performance. American Idol hasn't really had anyone this great in a while. If I was in a competition with her you may as well say I'm as good as gone. Her competition must have been scared like hell of her. Just amazing!

  • @EpicFailPersin I never truly heard a comment like that, simon just said, "Ya'll did a great job"....

  • @EpicFailPersin haha hateing bconsitt1 A.K.A. bconshitt! guys search his original channel and dislike it as much as u want haha isnt it great?

  • @EpicFailPersin Jacob Lusk sang it way better!!!!!

  • You must be kidding? Jacob's performance was decent but it wasn't better than Kelly's. More originality, style, technique, and flexibility was displayed in Kelly's rendition as opposed to Jacob's. You can at least have somewhat of a wow to this performance, not Jacob's, sorry.

  • @EpicFailPersin

    It's funny how only 3 of the 10 winners were truly successful, actually it's sad but that's how a lot of these competitions end up anyways.

  • @ab88Hype more then three actually

  • @akira955

    As far as I know, only 3 of them went international and such, and I meant hitting major success directly after Idol. I know others like Fantasia rose up after a while, but she had a slow start.

  • @ab88Hype slow start? she did get success after right after she won, and not going international doesn't mean you not truly successful

  • @akira955

    I know that but Fantasia did kind of disappear for a while, like Ruben Studdard (who also was doing really well right off the bat but faded away after a while).

  • Comment removed

  • i just watched Seth Rudetsky's deconstruction of this and i fell in love with it all over again. what an incredible performance. LOVE KELLY!!

  • I remember watching this season...I can't believe it's been 8 years!

  • Listen to Tammi and see da difference 1967 Motown rules no comparison

  • wow, everytime i hear her sing, i am amazed, this girl can really sing

  • Nope, Jordan was definitely better. Kelly sounds winded.....out of breath.

  • @freebyrdlo If by Jordan you mean Jordin Sparks... She was singing with Ruben Studdard who was the star of that duet. As for Kelly sounding winded... She just has more lyrics to sing. She wasn't out of breath it's just a faster paced song.

  • Comment removed

  • @freebyrdlo That's an opinion and vocally kelly is better than jordan which is a fact.

  • have anyone of you noticed that everytime that randy judged kelly he starts off saying kelly kelly kelly

  • I effin love her man

  • This lady can sing! I would choose another outfit for her, but marvelous voice...

  • This was the song....that kelly went from just one of the idol constestants...to the front runner and the 1st step to super stardom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From this moment on--every song she has ever sung is better than the original artist...and those of her own--GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sugiro q todos q pretendem participar desses programas de calouros vejam esse vídeo, pra aprenderem um pouco, como é uma excelente apresentação.

  • Excellent job...But there's still only one Aretha.

  • @srowitt also there will never be another Tammi Terrell

  • this is a duet. she ruins it!!!(smeagle)

  • AMAZING!!!!

  • Aretha Franklin version is the best

  • @simdisiwe of course

  • @gracie30ish :-)

  • @simdisiwe better than Tammi and Marvin? I might have to disagree

  • Awesome Outfit!! She should have them make her clothes for touring...

  • is she still ffriends with those people? :/

  • @R00G00 Yes kelly is still friends with those.

  • i cant get over how much she looks like jennifer aniston here!

    the simplest things are awesome, the beginning (first 5 seconds) was my favorite part

    she aced her way though idol, best idol forever

  • @MIZIZVOGUE Don't ever let me see you stuffing food inside your mouth or i'll call you a cow.

  • When I write a comment on the video that isn't a reply to you, I am speaking freely, directing what I write in my comment to no one else, except for now westlondanmanz. When I reply to you, then, but do not post 2 comments directed toward someone only. It doesn't have to be better than the original, what don't you get? What I dislike about you is that you're being ignorant, out of place and NEGATIVE. You havn't the right. Don't bombard the video with your negativity, that's indicating stupidity.

  • @lightningshock12 You sent the messages to me you dumb twat. I never started saying anything to you. I was never talking to you until you sent me a reply to a comment I never made to you. Do you have amnesia? Who cares what the popular under 30 years old vote is? Because I don't have the same opinion as you I'm negative. Again you are showing your age. As I said leave it alone but you keep coming back with immature replies. I gave an opinion to a comment that had nothing to do with your opinion!

  • Yah, one at a time, not 2, and now you're calling me dumb. I think it's concluded who's the moron here. How was I being immature when I approached you directly expressing an opinion of mild and discrete negativity and immaturity. Listen, I'll respect your wishes and calm it down. I am free to give an opinion though. I am tired just as you, but I just want you to know that your opinion should have the right to be expressed, but if they're negative, someone has the right to acknowledge and speakup

  • Who cares what you think about her performance I said it before and I will say it again it aint better than the original..the end! If you think it is fine but to bombard me with petty comments sounding like a masturbating groupie all the time...ain't you got anything better to do like worship your idol?

    The person who I commented to didn't get on like you and I got respect that person but you...you need to grow up! Dead this now if your a man. You've said your sh*t and I've said mine.Grow up!!!!

  • Kelly sang this song brilliantly and CORRECTLY. I really enjoy listening to all of her performances because she is one of the few singers in the world that can sing absolutely anything. She can sing with wsuch emotion and brilliance, which most singers today lack. I'm glad to say that Kelly Clarkson is one of my favourite singers today. And I think I speak for everyone when I say that Kelly's voice is beatiful, brilliant, and versitile; That is why she sang this well.

  • People, open you ears, please! Who in the world would say this song was "too big for her." The damn song is originally designed for 2 people to sing it. A DUET. Kelly sung this on her own and still SLAYED THE HELL OUT OF IT! If you guys said she did not display EXHILERATION, rewind this video again. If you begg to differ on her delivery of POWER, rewind this again. If you fail to realize the emotion in the song, hang yourself. Kelly sang this song well. No producer would disagree, so shove it!!!

  • @lightningshock12 Are you saying her rolls (you do know what that is right) on the word "need" was good? You need a new set of ears. And still that face and all the fake head movements. What was that about..emotion..hahahaha!!

    Go listen to Aretha Franklin's studio version of the song and then come back to me and talk about who "SLAYED THE HELL OUT OF IT"! A REAL ARTIST who made the song her own SOLO!

    ALL I SAID WAS IT WEREN'T BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL, THE END! GO AWAY AND WANK OVER MS.CLARKSON

  • Her rolls is what made the song as well as it was in this performance. You aren't even a singer, so once again, stay in your place. She made the song her own, meaning the rolling was what distinguished her rendition from Aretha and the original. Only by your conceptions she sang this terribly and incorrectly due to the amount of effort and "soul" she put in it. You know the arrangement of the song was changed, so Kelly had to gage her voice accordingly, thus creating emotion. So fall back.

  • @lightningshock12 LISTEN GROUPIE!

    1. I NEVER SAID SHE CANT SING OR THAT IT WAS SH*T

    2. I DO SING SO DONT MAKE ASSUMTIONS AS THEY ARE THE MOTHER OF ALL F*CKUPS

    3. MY ORIGINAL COMMENTS WERE NOT TO YOU NEITHER DID THEY CONCERN YOU SO WHY YOU FELT THE NEED TO BUTT IN I DON'T KNOW

    4. YOU SAID IN AN EARLIER COMMENT YOURSELF IT HAD NO SOUL AND SOUL=EMOTION, YOU CANNOT SEPARATE THE TWO. SHE IF IT HAD NO SOUL IT HAD NO EMOTION SO YOU CONTRADICTED YOURSELF. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS YOUR PROBLEM!

  • @lightningshock12 LISTEN GROUPIE!

    1. I NEVER SAID SHE CANT SING OR THAT IT WAS SH*T

    2. I DO SING SO DONT MAKE ASSUMTIONS AS THEY ARE THE MOTHER OF ALL F*CKUPS

    3. MY ORIGINAL COMMENTS WERE NOT TO YOU NEITHER DID THEY CONCERN YOU SO WHY YOU FELT THE NEED TO BUTT IN I DON'T KNOW

    4. YOU SAID IN AN EARLIER COMMENT YOURSELF IT HAD NO SOUL AND SOUL=EMOTION, YOU CANNOT SEPARATE THE TWO. IF IT HAD NO SOUL IT HAD NO EMOTION SO YOU CONTRADICTED YOURSELF. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS YOUR PROBLEM!

  • Listen LOSER!

    1. I never accused you of that!

    2. Who cares if you can sing!

    3. They were not directed toward me, but you spoke in general, so evaluate yourself. This is a forum, so do not expect your copinions to be put under scrutiny as you will have hard times assimilating on these forums.

    And soul is not an emtion, but is a common slang in terms of music, so correct yourself. When I say emotion, I strictly emphasize how much fun, interest and care she displayed while singing. Fall back

  • @lightningshock12

    You can't go on forums calling people a loser because they don't have the same opinion as you. That is immature and shows your age. My comments were to a specific point AND NOT "in general" and not to a point which you made so stop chatting out your ass. You chat pure garbage. And you ain't gonna be educating me on slang in music so fall back on that one young un'! You are a groupie and that is clear. That's why I called you one so you are gonna always defend her no matter what

  • You say I can not call someone a loser yet you called me a groupie. You called me a name other than what I am here on YouTube, so it was respectful that I give you a name as well, LOSER. You talk about immaturity and it's ironic because you're doing the same. I am not a follower, I am respectful, so I have you a name #LOL . You chat pure garbage because everyone agreed she sang this well except you, so please. You are a LOSER, and that's clear. You'll be negative no matter what, so fall back.

  • dare i say, better than the original recording?

  • @thezachman Dont even go there about better than the original! She got as much soul as my ass when its farting! YOU NEED SOUL to sing this type of track! I'm not trying to sound racist but very few white people have got that & the ones that have are usually raised around black people or grew up/around black music.

    You cant put Kelly Clarkson in the same breath as Marvin Gaye, let alone those who have covered the song...Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross&Aretha Franklin (best version in my opinion).Peace

  • @westlondonmanz Wow, what a classy comment, I can express whatever opinions I please on here, so I will go there. She sang this song better than the original for me.

  • @thezachman I will express my opinion too and I did go there.

    Cool brotha, think what you want I just saw the comment and felt compelled to reply because I had just finished listening to the original and cover versions I mentioned. I am a music producer and I know my music. So many people have tried to cover this song and have failed miserably and so did Kelly Clarkson. Not because she can't sing, she just doesn't possess that "je ne se qua" that you need to pull off such a soulful song.

    Peace

  • Um, excuse you. Kelly Clarkson sang this song quite well. If am not mistaken, you are a music producer, not judge, so please stay in your place. Being a music producer does not validate your opinion whereas you know what true talent is and what elements are required to sing a song well or pull it off. You know your music like you said, so do not speak in general. Kelly's voice is versitile, COMPLETELY. The song honestly had no soul, but exhileration, power and emotion. She did this, so fall back

  • @lightningshock12 I never said me being a producer validated anything I just said I know my music.

    Like I said she can sing but the song is too big for her. You call this performance "exhilaration, power and emotion" LMFAO!

    Her rolls are completely sh*t and that facial expression she kept pulling..what she tryin' to show, she got soul..LMFAO AGAIN!

    She started off well though I give her that but honestly better than the original? What a joke! It's like Justin Bieber doing Elvis & saying better?

  • It truly is sad that you're a music producer and you have such low standards for "INTERPRETATION." Was she supposed to be better than the original? No. Was she supposed to atleast sound some-what like the original? No. What she supposed to sing it a bit like the original? No. Kelly as a singer did her job while singing this rendition. SHE MADE IT HER OWN! She interpreted this song quite well and made it her own. This song was met for 2 people, not 1, and Kelly still did it well. So LYAO to that

  • I want her clothes. And her voice.

  • the fact that kelly clarkson has sold just under 10 million albums in the UK (renown for being the hardest music scene to crack) show that she is an extraordinary talent!!!

    She is such a delight to watch sing too.

  • I wonder whatever happened to the other host after he got kicked off the show...?

  • @ericita1 he never got kicked off, brian dunkleman quit after season 1, and has been trying to get another career, but keeps failing, he quit because season 1 was a flop as far as ratings went (didn't get very much views at all) so he decided, that it wouldn't be smart to stick around, and that it would get cancelled. Wow, was he wrong, good thing he doesn't buy stock xD

  • @chriscoball That's not true it blew up in like the last 6 weeks of the show. He claimed that things were staged, he said that he made a mistake and shouldn't have left the show. 25 million people watched the finale.

  • @chriscoball I think he quit because he didn't like how the show operated and felt that they were exploiting the contestants with the contracts they have to sign just to compete. There were times you could sort of tell he didn't care about following the show's procedures though so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a mutual decision for him to leave.

  • She did her thing here; she belted this thing out. Nice performance; a little more uptempo than the original, but still good.

  • That girl did not just sing her heart out - she sang her SOUL OUT!

    Idol has a Motown night? Is that consistent in all the seasons, or in just the first few?

    That girl was acting like the stage was her bedroom and the audience was a mirror and the mic was her hairbrush! It's cute and it's rare for all the seasons that I have watched. Usually you can sense some kind of tension from the singer - that small bit of anxiety leaking out of their performance.

  • @motownazn it's funny how you said that Kelly sang like the stage was her bedroom because in interviews, she has said that when she was little, that's what she did, with a hair brush. i think she has said that when she watched the Grammys as a kid, she would go into her room during commercial breaks and pretend to sing/perform.

    As for Motown nights, i'm not sure if that theme is consistent in all seasons, but i think they've had the theme in a few seasons at least.

  • was it halloween???

  • That was me kissing Kelly!

    Add me on facebook: John Valencia

  • she was good, but again no one can top the Queen at her own work lol

  • I love this performance. Amazing!!! It shows how sassy she can get. I think many singers act when they're singing. Actually, I think she would be a good actress......look at her acting skills in her videos, guest appearances (wish she would do more), and yes her movie. I don't think she knows how talented she is.

  • she's just amazing. it's amazing to see how far she's come from here.

  • lol @ her friends in the beginning. no wonder she got fat. look who she hangs with

  • @EvFan1985 for real??? come on, why does appearance matter at all??? You're an evanescence fan, Amy is little on the strange side when it comes to looks don't you think??? It's kinda like calling the kettle black here... besides Kelly is friggin gorgeous no matter what weight she's at.

  • @IdolReady This is a really old id. I don't even like Amy Lee. I love Kelly and still do. She's cute, down-to earth and has an amazing voice. I feel she could stand to lose weight.. not only because she was soo fucking hot in 2005-06 but also because of her health. you can't yoyo and not expect future health problems.
