  • It was good, I heard potential for an awesome studio version. Some of the high notes weren't enunciated clearly she just found easier replacement sounds. Like the "don't" at the climax.

  • Look up Kyla love takes time her cover is good too :)

  • kelly can whistle.. she just didnt do it.. coz she knows that mariah is the queen of whistles.. so.. non sense..

  • Kelly is actually very talented, but this does kind of remind you that Mariah is untouchable.

  • @BlindWatchMakers Mariah is perfect for upper register high belting power ballads so is celine dion, but can you imagine Mariah singing Kelly's "since u been gone?" That song is a stylistic pop/rock song that is hard to sing. Also can you imagine Mariah singing a Norah Jones song which is not about high range but subtlety/nuances. Kelly can sing soft Jazzy tunes in the lower register and sound clear as much as she can belt with rock raspy growls. Mariah can only sing high "pretty" songs.

  • @samuraijaysan Mariah sings jazz. She sings Norah Jones-type songs. You obviously don't know her catalog.

  • @samuraijaysan: mariah can surely sing jazz, She's done twice. Two songs one called the wind and the other called xmas time is here. Mariah can do all the subtle nuances. Obviously she does not have a shouty voice so she will not sing like kelly since you've been gone, however she could change it and do a better version. I would not be surprised. You know very little about MC.

  • @samuraijaysan Well Mariah has gone through Pop/rock , jazz, hip-hop, country, soul, rap (yes Mariah can rap - check prisioner), pop, RnB. Mariah can sing in a lower register than Kelly ( check " You and I Mariah Carey" ). Well I still enjoyed it, but no one is better than Mimi :)

  • I'm sure Mariah would like this performance. Mariah supports talent!!!

  • She got everything, but not the whistle. It was a great performance though.

  • wow..amazing

  • I thought she did a lovely job. I miss my beloved F#6-F#6 slide though :(

  • @rekupp She could have done that F6# part she was hoarse thats probably why she didn't hit those notes she can go to E7!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @kmaur21 No, she can't.

  • @rekupp Yes she can listen to video of her high notes, her highest is E7 and she has easily hit a F6 before in Natural woman Idol performance shut that mess up

  • @kmaur21 She has hit F#6 once. ONCE.

  • @rekupp AND!!!!!! She still hit and she did exclamation to a F7 so your point is? She hit E7 before too and Bb6 in studio!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kelly has the range!

  • @kmaur21 Exclamations are on par with screaming. Any woman can do that.

  • @rekupp Higher notes doesn't equate to being a better singer. In my opinion nobody sings these type of power ballads better than Mariah (maybe Celine or Whitney back in the day), but nobody sings such a wide array of songs from different genres like Kelly. She's able to actually change the tone and quality in her voice to suit a particular genre, a rare quality I haven't seen from anyone else.

  • hey they version is not that bad ... she can sing mariah's song but still i prefer mariah's malismatic voice and power during her early career

  • This is a really good cover. I don't think the original will ever be beat (probably because I'm a fan of Mariah's music) but she did it justice.

  • Kelly loves Mariah so I love her!

    She's great actually!

  • IS SHE PREGNANT AT THAT MOMENT??? O_o

  • @charmedones2009 No ...

  • pretty good, but no where as good as mariahs! mariah is the queeeeeeen! :D

  • She tore this song up! Awesome

  • mariah's song are almost IMPOSSIBLE to cover! kelly did awesome but not as good as mariah's version, NEVER.

  • she sang this on my birthday <333

  • Would love to hear her cover this now, her voice is more amazing now than it was then.

  • Kelly is an INCREDIBLE vocalist. Her voice was obviously tired here. I would have loved to hear her sing this today, considering her voice is at its peak right now. I wish she would cover more Queen Mariah songs.

  • kelly is actually a REALLY good singer,watching her american idol clips reminded me becuase she was best then.

  • even kelly had hard time singing this song. all of mc's songs are such hardy songs to sing lol...only mc (in her prime) can pull it off

  • Kelly did a great job, but paled in comparison to Mariah's version.

  • she is a true singer

  • kelly is one of the FEW that can really sing. this generation is full of playback shits, voice enhancers and auto tune.

  • Nothing compared to Mariah obviously noone can sing Mariah songs but Kelly did a good job tho I'm just wondering what happened to the days when artists would dress up like a star on stage ?!?!

  • @lebb20 its called the 2000's. haha :D

  • @samyoowell take me back to the days when u knew who was the star and not confuse them with the backstage crew

  • She did a good job guys! Give her a break! She's only one of the few modern pop vocalists in the music industry that can actually sing. But where is the whistle note? Pretty sure she can do it! She did it on american idol.

  • Donk

  • I love Kelly because she said herself she is a big Mariah fan and, nevertheless, she didn't copy Mariah when se sang this song. Anyways, I prefer the rock'n'roll-bluesey Kelly of today! No one can touch Mariah on her golden days. Today, no one can touch Kelly on her golden days, of which I believe it is now. They are queens in their own unique way.

  • She did a good job and I'm glad she was paying tribute to Mariah. Of course, no one can sing this song better than MC in her prime, but Kelly did well.

  • 1:57 ... gurl,please don't ever attempt it again...

    LTT is one of the 'not so difficult' songs of Carey....

  • try to watch Jonalyn Viray - LOVE TAKES TIME

  • @mapagmasid she sucks compared to kelly and especially Mariah

  • the rock version of this song,, even better than the orig

  • @markjowell272

    where can i find it?

  • whhooooooooo,,, who cares if this is mariah's song kelly is kelly

    and she is the best

  • WHERES MY BELOVED F sharp 6???? :((( lol

  • @DanyelHawkes lol don't mean (inside F#6!)

  • @DanyelHawkes what about the G#6? xD

  • kelly has a nice ass

  • You have to admit, this is pretty amazing! I know Kelly and Mariah are two completely different artist, but Kelly does this song justice! You sing it guuuuurrrrrrlllllll!

  • damn her voice's beautiful, i used to like her

    now that i know that she listens to mariah, i love her!

  • This is an amazing performance. Mariah would be proud. <33

  • THE MISTAKE WAS TRYING TO SING THIS SONG IN MARIAHS KEY INSTEAD OF HER OWN, THATS WHY SHE SOUNDS ABIT OF A MESS BECAUSE SHES TRYING TO MIMIC MARIAH VOICE AND CANT QUIT MAKE IT.. BUT SHE STILL WORKED OUT ALIL

  • Yeah, this wasn't a good performance.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kelly to pieces, but this song is too big for her.

    I love that she's paying respect to Mariah though.

  • work kelly!

  • holy shizz, from 1:40-1:46, she sounds EXACTLY like Mariah. good job.

  • i really like this im a diehard mariah fan and ive heard others murder her songs but this is real good props to kelly but mariah is still my love

  • you better sing Kelly!!!!!

  • I'm a HUGE kelly clarkson fan, I think her voice is amazing but she struggles in this. I agree that Kelly should cover this now and it would so much better!

  • very nice, although this song has little song when not sung by Mariah, who brings 99% of its magical spirit

  • good as the original

  • lol you can't compare mariah to any many singers. I wonder if Kelly and "horseface" Leona Lewis will still be there in 20 years! Dont think so.....so shutup and get lost.

  • i bet mariah can stil sing this if she wants to and would not sound as bad as hell as this bitch do. .

    fyi: mariah sang her emotions on new years eve this year

  • I love her.

  • she sang great....but loves takes time without the whistle note is incomplete....it kinda lost its SOUL

  • crap

  • flawless

  • Love Takes Times without whistle is just WEIRD...

  • Good performance.

  • kelly did great, although she is not as good as mariah, kelly is one of the greatest singers of our time.

  • Great Cover, nice voice, BUT!!!!!!!! there's one ONLY Mariah, nobody can sing her song not even Mariah rnow.

  • Work it out Kelly.... Lay it down like Mariah! Go girl. I am impressed. Always a fan!

  • kelly does mariah justice unlike that bitch leona lewis

  • @ccwe23 leona doesnt try to be like mariah. because a artist has a whistle register doesnt mean there trying 2b like mariah......

  • @wagwan86 leona cannot do whistles fyi...lol...hers is high falsetto

  • @Puilip regardless of wat she can do ppl still compare her bcos of the higher register she has, but to be honest i dnt think she's trying to be like her, 2b honest no1 cud touch mariah

  • @wagwan86 yeah....but today....leona is one of the few singers i respect for her singing talent ... in the past singers used to be trained classically....theyre really good singers... i still think leona is fantastic even without whistle...

  • @Puilip i dnt really follow leona but i think she does have a lovely voice, but hearing the whistle note is priceless, i love that. hey some r trained sum arent, not sure if leona had any training of any sort but she's still great. everyone has there own style...just wish mariah would go bk to hers :(

  • @wagwan86 Mariah Carey's singing style has been disapointing lately. But she is not her young self, so maybe she's not as able as she used to be. SHe's still one of the hardest singers to compare to.

  • @c6h12o6glucose i totally agree with u

  • HAHAHAHAHHA

    kelly, you will never BE MARIAH

    MARIAH IS THE BEST

  • @eduzinhoxvre but she can sing her songs, beyonce cant even do that lol.

  • can u do as well as kelly? NOT! you will never be KELLY

  • @ ed:

    THANK GOD she'll never be mariah! that lady doesnt even know whow old she is anymore! kelly is an amazing singer and is a genuine person. saying kelly will never be mariah is a compliment to kelly. i mean, mariah was good in like the 90's, but now she's just trying to be young. kelly is always herself.

  • @eduzinhoxvre u asshole.! Kelly was just giving tribute to her idol MARIAH... she wasn't trying to be mariah... a fan is a fan.. and it's far different from an Idol..

  • Kelly is great Mariah still the best tho

  • Damn, She is amazing. Totally impressed. I love her cover of this song and I'm a huge Mariah fan. I think she would even be impressed.

  • OMG love her version of Love takes time, she has an amazing voice, love her raspy tone. Of course, Mariah is Mariah and in her early ears she sang this song with an unhuman ability that no one come to close. But Kelly did a great job here.

  • verrrrrrrr gud!

  • stunning

  • LOL.....often imitated, never duplicated....Mariah in her own words...haha

  • Kelly has an awesome voice, but Mariah didnt struggle ONE bit to reach the notes...her voice was flawless in her prime....Kelly on the other had...No one can dulicate, just imitate....SORRY hands off to Mariah..the #1 female selling artist of ALL time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • she did great!

  • better than rihanna's attempt at "Hero."

  • lol u r so right

  • IMO she has more soul than Mariah I think but she couldnt rise to that note at 1:02 she slid into it...but I love Kelly like heeaven!!

  • Well I guess there is more than one definition of "soul." CLEARLY! Lol! Kelly did some good karoake, but leave Mimi's legendary songs alone!

  • Kelly just put her own take on it. She was paying tribute to such a huge artist that she admired, I admire kelly for this. And she did Mariah justice, I'd rather her sing this so strongly like this than have her murder the song with her "own rendition", you can't touch a classic like this. She even gave Mariah a nod! This is respect not imitation.

  • For Mariah to hold such a high bar in her singing, Kelly fucking rocked this song. Sounds amazing.

  • @Raimundo91 she was really good, but she didn't have the same texture as mariah

  • @Jared95C Of course no one is going to be as amazing as Mariah, singing this song, but Kelly did do very, very well.

  • We have to understand that while no one can compete wirh mariah as the original performer, Kelly did her thang with this song. SHe was great

  • You can't compare Kelly and Mariah. Mariah is a queen and in a league if her own

    I love them both, but Kelly doesn't have the chops to take on this song. No one can touch Mariah in her prime.

  • @neosoulfuljojo Strongly Agreed..

  • @neosoulfuljojo Yes you can compare them. Credit to Mariah for being a gifted singer, but not even she has as versatile a voice as Kelly.

  • Are you kidding me? You must be joking, right? You claim that Kelly doesn't have the chops to take on this song yet she did, and excellently may I add. Sure, anyone can sing someone else's song, but to sing it extrordinary and excellently the way Kelly did, that's seldomly seen. It's even TOUGHER to actually attempt singing Mariah's song for she's an absolutely extrordinary vocalist. To pull one of her songs off and actually nail it is hard, and Kelly did it with ease. She's just as good as her.

  • @neosoulfuljojo ya true.... but where is mariah now? oh ya thts what i thought guess not only is her "prime" over so is the rest of her career :)

  • Her voice is good ... But believe me nobody can sing Mariah like Mariah ... Nobody

  • kelly will be never great as mariah because she is a rocker adn mariah carey is R&B

  • MARIAH IS THE BEST...

    But kelly is a good singer,,, And I love this kind of people who respect the great singers... I love Kelly respect mariah and loves her... I wish they sing on a duet

    00:00- 00:14 what did she say?

  • Alright this next song is by the lovely Miss Mariah Carey. This is called Love Takes Time, one of my all time favorites. I know a ton of you guys know it so sing along!

  • hey ok thank you...

  • that's what you wanted, right?

  • yes... My english isn't good so I couldn't undestand what Kelly said... thank you

  • You're right, some people just won't believe it :)

  • yea i know, it's crazy !

  • mariah still the best....no body can sin her own songs... shees the only on who knows how to play of her songs..

  • Shes nothin to compare to mariah..

  • She's actually a lot better these days then mariah

  • Actually shes not bad...this is a very good cover considering that this song is very dificult to sing...i thought she sang it very well, of course you cant outweigh mariah because shes much better.

  • i think if kelly sang this song today, it would be sooo much better! she's always had a great voice, but it's definitaly gotten alot better of the years:)

  • the only other famous voice I ever really enjoy singing this song. Well done Mz kelly!

  • i love kelly cuz shes so original...

  • don't forget kelly is probably really tired right now. she can do better.

  • mariah's songs are REALLY REALLY HARD TO SING.

    even kelly (a good singer) can't do it.

  • Does anybody know what note she hits at 0:26?

  • Great tribute to Ms. Mariah... Kelly sounds awesome, so strong!

  • Mariah's song are very very hard to sing!

    Even Kelly at her best was struggling to hit note by note and still couldn't did it well

  • Mariah's was so effortless

  • NO ONE COULD BE AS GOOD AS MARiAH BUT i AGREE WiTH THE PEOPLE SAYiN KELLY iS GOOD WiTHOUT SHOWiN SEX APPEAL...THATS GOOD..Y0U SH0ULDNT TRY T0 SELL REC0RD WiTHCA CHEST HANGiN 0UT L0LL...iT MiGHT BE ATTRACTiVE AT FirST..BUT WHEN Y0U 0LDER THEY SAG...AND PE0PLE iZ G0NNA KN0W HER BY HER SAGGi B00BS THEN HER BEAUTiFUL V0iCE SHE HAD..=]=]...

    iM DEEP L0L.

  • what i love about kelly is that she doesnt rely on sex appeal or slutty dances and lyrics to sell her music and lure men into being fans, she relys solely on her voice.., she doesnt even need to wear makeup most of the time and she doesnt mind... shes REAL. mariah turned into a slut wannabe hip hop star after she lost her voice to sell music. kellys been around for a while and she isnt a sell out.. and she can still sing her ass OFF. her voice is nowhere gone.

  • slut hip hop mariah?? you must a new age ice of shit!!

    cause mariah has always done hip hop, (daydream album, 1995) and her early stuff too

  • poor kelly fans wish she had the body and voice of MARIAH but sorry there is only one and she is going to break a new record very very soon with "OBSESSION"

  • She sings it very well!!

    But Mariah is Mariah! both are great!

  • you know what, no one in here could even do this song, ok, so stop comparing the two! they're both GREAT artist! =D

    Geez...

  • love Kelly´s voice. But Mariah is untouchable

  • whoever said that was good must not know the original song...she did that song no justice what so ever....look up mariah singing it live n u will laugh at what kelly just did....lol wow

  • just becuase she didn't sing it exactly like mariah doesn't mean it was'nt good. They have two completely different voices and from what i hear Kelly Clarkson's voice is alot better. The only reason people like Mariah is because she can reach the whistle register, but so can alot of other artist. The past couple of years Mariah has resorted to lip syncing because she's lost her ability to sing live. Sorry deadman1624 but kelly is way better.

  • sike. Miss me with that shit groupie.

  • ..not allot of artists can whistle. in fact its rare. so i dont know where you got the idea that many people can whistle.

  • yes they can, lol. guys can whistle. almost anyone can at the very least CLAIM a pitch in the "whistle range"...but being able to sing in it, is different.

  • kelly has sung in the whistle, jojo, nicole scherzinger, minnie ripperton, kimberley locke, one of the singers from backstreet boys (can't remember which one), georgia brown, Vivian greene, jill scott, christina aguilera, and i'm sure theres alot more

  • in the words of your dawg Randy Jackson, "Song to big for you babe."

  • Comment removed

  • So gooooood.

    Kelly did it great!

  • Excelent!

  • just coz shes singing a mariah song doesnt mean she has to sing it as good as mariah, coz she cant, and at the same time mariah wont be able to sing kelly's major songs either!!!

    they are both good, but my fave is KELLY!

  • truee. good way to put it man! or woman! :D

  • at times she actually sound exactly like Mariah...! she has an incredible voice!!

  • wow! that wasnt bad at all. she shud cover this....

  • I actually hoped that she sang this song, and even if everything wasn't perfect, she was perfect doing her best at it, which is always enough for me!

  • i was there!! she blew everyone away.

  • I think she could do a lot better... This wasn't my favorite performance from her but I definately think she can handle Mariah songs. She just seems a little out of breath here so it sounds a bit off at times. There are other times where she sounds incredible though.

  • wow i didn't know she actually did sing a song from Mariah. It wasn't 2 bad at all.

  • Wow she's actually an amazing singer! So much better at material like this than when she's singing/shouting her rock songs! I wish she'd release more Mariah/Whitneyesque songs!

  • yeah! whoa!

  • its because she's trying to force raspiness because she's singing rock songs now. oh and she totally skipped the high note you can't sing love takes time and have it ever sound right without the whistle note. the verse is supposed to go and i know that you do and i feel like you then the word inside is supposed to be sung in whistle

  • well its clearly dated 03 so it has nothing to do with her rock songs.... yea sure, kelly could have done better, but it was hardly bad.

  • nice

  • I luv both Kelly and Mariah!! Kelly is definitely up there with the best!!

  • Woohoo! Thats the best remake of the song Ive heard

    Im a big fan of both Kel + Mariah so this is awesome for me lol

  • simply WOW!

  • She is absolutely fabulous!!
