  • You have a beautiful voice Kelly . Wish I was there for this one . Could have sung it word for word with you .

  • kelly is perfection

  • Kelly sings this song with strong emotion and she is an Annnie Lennox fan. I think that Kelly Clarkson does this song justice and I give her full credit for being a young talent that can possibly be so much more.

  • очень красиво поет эту песню.

  • WOW!!!! She gives me chills!!!

  • Can anyone sing with as much emotion as Kelly Clarkson............NO!!!!!! 

  • Better than the original.

  • @isabiten Don't be silly. Go listen to Annie Lennox again.

  • Her voice is amazing and Kelly sings with such emotion. Great job Kel!!!

  • I like Kelly alot. This version of why is great - never heard anone else do it much justice.

    But for those Kelly fanatics posting here who suggest that Kelly is a better singer than the original artist Annie Lennox and in particular did this song better than Annie ....

    Listen to this carefully -> then search "Annie Lennox live Aista 25th" and listen to the true master of this song.

    There is no comparison. No one in recent memory has sung with more passion than Annie.

  • This song is like therapy to me (Y)

  • Ah- was so good until the girl starts singing along halfway through- ruins it- please note, DO NOT PLEASE! do this if you record tunes for youtube!! PLEASE!!

  • This song is one of my favourites and the fact that Kelly covered it is so cool! She definitely did an admirable job but I do like the original better.

    And that's with no disrespect to Kelly because she is my favourite artist...I just think to really make it "better" than Annie Lennox' version, she would have had to change it more. Otherwise, Kelly is still crazy talented but this is a "cover", it's not really making it her own.

  • this makes me cry.

    her voice is so beautiful. and the song just fits perfectly in her voice

  • I dont care Kelly is amazing she gave me goose bumps

  • Give me a break, Lennox probably didn't even write that song. Lennox probably has 10 song-writers working for her. Kelly sings this better then Annie ever did. Nothing against Annie, its just that Kelly is better in all regards.

  • Annie Lennox has written this song, along with Peter-John Vettese.

  • She did write this song. She plays the piano for it for many live performances too. It's Annie's song, borrowed by Clarkson. It's a lovely song and this is a lovely version too!

  • feels like heaven...good God...that girl just surprise me second after second!!

  • aww man

    SO GOOD.

    She emotes so much on this song

  • Thank you to the poster. x

  • Amazing .............nothing else to say

  • Oh man that girl has such a wonderful voice. I love you Kelly =)

  • so beautiful, I'm in heaven

  • Maaan i just remembered this video! i used to watch it A LOT back in the day.. and now i just remembered it!

    I saw kelly in concert in 2006 here in the UK, God she was great.

  • I'm the exact same,

    I used to watch this video like every day, she sings it beautifully, and I went to a kelly concert in the UK in 2006 as well :)

  • kelly just made it her own she didn't try to immitate 'annie lenox' they are diffrent types of singers so you can't really compare. If kelly's version was the orignal and annie lenox covered it people would say the same, that the orignals better! btw i love both versions haha

  • have some respect.

    she tried, and she did an amazing job.

    of course, remakes are never as good as the original.

  • k i was wrong i suppose this is live!!and kelly is a great singer to how do i delete that comment?xx

  • AMAZING COVER!

  • Awesome! I think she's better than Annie but nvm, they're both great (: I saw Kelly when she was here in Denmark (april 9.), she was AMAZING! Such an experience to see her live and you know be like 10 feet from her xD

    We all love Kelly <3

  • lol. I SO agree about her being better then Annie Lennox

  • you guys mut have 16 or maybe American Idol Fans to say she´s better than Annie, jajaja....well lets say you just are part of other geneation...LOL

  • You Must Be twelve or obsessed by ANnie Lenox to be spamming and replyin at people expressing independtly their point of views

    tstss

    grow up

  • ....

    Its the way you expressed your opinion. How dumber can you get. The last commetns are from months ago, meaning a page back

    I do got a life i just cant abre stupidity thats all

  • okay. i did not understand a word of that. Yeah, I don't really like Annie. i don't like her voice.

  • Lalahaha: Well, i think he/she meant that the people who likes Kelly better than Annie is about 16 years old or American idol fans.. I don't know. Hardcore Kelly-fans don't like Annie more than Kelly, it's just about taste i think. It's not like if we all knew Annie 100%, we would like her more than we like Kelly. I just think that Kelly's the best ;p

  • Jeanne, I totally, 100% agree with you.

  • Very impressive. Too even attempt a now classic Annie Lennox song like this is more than any "current" artist could handle and Kelly Clarkson does this with emotion style and grace. I love Annie and Ms. Clarkson deserves all the respect of any and all of her fans just from this single performance. I hope this version from Ms. Clarkson will be more widely available to both the fans the public in the very near future.

  • Very well said. I agree, Kelly has an incredible voice and talent. She deserves everything she has recieved!

  • I totally agree with Sabre2922 in terms of the "hoping it becomes more widely available" thing....i could listen to this all day :)

  • first of all, it takes some serious balls to sing a Diva's song... but if there's anyone who has done it successfully it's Kelly Clarkson. It's a necessity to project feelings while singing this song and shes done it well. For 4 mins and 6 seconds I was truly sad. Kelly & Annie rock!

  • haha pretty sure i was at that concert* she is wearing a green bay packer t-shirt!! woooo!!

  • great rendition! chills, to bad she doesn't have a CD quality version of this one

  • I think she sings this in a wonderful and soulful way...

  • amazziin

  • This is a very powerful version, congrats to Ms Clarkson to even daring to sing of the most beautiful songs ever...

    I get chills when the crowd start to scream..amazing!

  • bravo!

  • She's no Lennox but that was really cool.

  • so your saying 190 people who commented and the 1,116 people who favorited are wrong?... exactly... fuck off

  • I'm saying Kelly is technically and emotionally far better you moron. Read before posting.

  • Cool cover, but there's only one Annie Lennox, and her soulful, emotionally raw can't be compared to Clarkson's powerful yet still indistinct voice.

  • O.o better than Ann

    Kelly rocks

  • Where did she sing this?

  • Kelly sang this on her Breakaway tour.

  • No she sang it on her Hazel Eyes Tour. on breakaway she sang 4 other "influence" covers, including Sweet Dreams.

  • agreed

  • Big news! It was announced on 04/26/07 that Kelly is going to tour North America in the Summer of 2007!

  • Nothing compares to Annie Lennox!!!! Girl, go and create something by yourself instead of .... whatever... i turn it off now....

  • Oh come on now. Honestly, nobody wants to hear that...

  • I'm sorry to say but I have to disagree with lilywhitedmb because Kelly does do this song justice and it sounds amazing! I will agree that Annie Lennox has a very unique voice and is phenominal! Kelly does do a great job at performing this song!

  • Arg yeah i don' like who ever is singing along with Kelly!

  • Could the girl singing along shut the fuck up.

  • That's Annie Lennox!!! Just kidding....But wouldn't that be ironic...

  • You know, I really like Kelly Clarkson, but I don't know about covering an Annie Lennox song. Annie has got a voice like no one else out there. Her lower register is the coolest thing ever. Kelly did a good job, but no one but Annie does this song justice.

  • Miss Kelly Brianne Clarkson, you are the most beautiful woman to grace this earth. <3

  • SHE IS.. FREAKING GREAT! I knew that already.. I love Kelly Clarksonn!!!!

  • Oh my good God...she is the sh*t! :D

  • i love this singer this girl

    the good one =)

  • oh wow this was so amazing. she did a great job. GO KELLY! <3

  • who is the back up vocalist? Looks very familiar...

  • I love that cover...

    it's fenomenal!

  • Annie Lennox makes the song sound like a dream. Kelly Clarkson 's singing style distracts from the songs true potential.

  • Kelly has an amazing voice.. i love this song!

  • animegirl92 fuck u looser!

  • wow

  • i love this song but sry annie lennox kelly makes it sound amazing.

  • original can't be improved upon

  • i love this:)

  • I'd seriously smack that girl singing along. If you want to mouth the words to a song at a concert, fine, but dont ruin it for the people around you by singing off key. Especially at a Kellie Clarkson concert, shes just too amazing.

  • What the camera's microphone picks up is totally different to what you could actually hear at the concert. There were probably a thousand other people singing along off key and it wouldn't have made a difference because Kelly was amplified so loud! Believe me - I saw her twice in 2005 & couldn't even hear myself singing along! Whoever was recording this was probably concentrating on not getting caught by security rather than listening for off key singers.

  • this was a really good cover, i mean really good until she started singing the higher notes at the end. she could have kept the song in the same octave as lennox did and it would have been even better than it was! but kelly is still so awesome!

    YES go on kelly!!

  • It was a good job but there's just something I'm hearing that's slightly off about it.

  • She nails this song with such conviction, she displays once again, why she is just that damn good!

  • good, better, kelly clarkson =)

  • haha yeah that chick was annoying ha but kelly sounds good

  • this tha best moment for think in the life. maybe good song  excenlent artist

  • muitoooo lindaaa

  • that's so great i love her voice

  • I like this version better than Annie lennox's :) Something about Kellys voice I just love it!!

  • If it was originally sung by Annie Lennox,then why cover?!

  • Because its fun :)

  • Sorry,I thought Why Cover was the name of the song.

  • Kelly covered it because it's one of her favorite songs.

  • hahahaha!

    The Song is 'Why' and its a cover from Annie Lennox. But thanks i really needed that laugh!

  • Awesome!

  • would have been MUCH better without the chick who kept singing, how annoying!

  • SHE REALLY IS THE BEST <3

  • thumbs-up!

  • wow amazing she drewe me in the moment i heard the first few lines!! damn shes talented girl!!

  • This is why Kelly is Kelly.  A vocal chameleon, with the ability to emote hardcore.

  • i hope her voice will remain as gd even as she keeps on having so many tours...

  • Very very very nice! Great....

  • nothing near the original. the last part is good though

  • Whoo! Kelly!

  • I never heard of this song before I saw this video but I really like it! I just tried to listen to the original a few seconds ago but I think I prefer this version better...sorry Annie's fans. Kelly rocks though and she made this her own :)

  • If this was any other artist covering an Annie song, I'd be hunting them down with an axe. However, I'd have to say Kelly's got awesome taste, and she's one of the few artists of the 2000s that I respect and enjoy. Go Kelly!

  • she is the best!!

  • Holy shit! The ending is fucken disgusting! im an awe! what a bone chilling experience.

  • I Saw Her Do This Live In Manchester UK, She's Fucking Awesome, And, Ive never heard a Lennox Classic remade So Good, Honestly, She Is Truley Talented

  • far out she rocks. i saw her sing this live in brisbane and she rocked.

  • Are you Australian then?

  • why yes i am lol, what about you ?

  • I am English

  • holy moly

  • amazing

  • What a powerful performance. Kelly is such a beautiful singer. This performance reaffirmed her as definitely one of my two favourite singers. I love how she is an interpreter as well. She doesn't just blindly mimic the original - she sings it from her heart, with her character and vocal style imprinted on it.

  • kelly does a great Job!!! But that person in the Backround Needs to Shut Up!!! But other than that, Kelly is Amazing!!!!

  • hahaaha hahahah couldnt agree more.

  • Yes Annie Lennox sang this orginally:)

  • did annie lennox sing this originally ????

  • stunning. wow.

  • where was this- which concert?

  • She does this song great! I always liked this Lennox song ever since I saw her do it on SNL a long time ago.

  • i have been to one her concerts where she sang this live & it rocked. i went to the one in cardiff & i would love to go to her next tour

  • uberrios- possibly lol. Been to two addicted concerts. Bt the way sarajean10 this is an 80's song when Annie Lennox broke from the Eurythmics and went out on her own. Good song. Kelly has that blues, just hiding. I am still waiting for a full blown Janis Joplin to pop out of her.

  • Am I the only one who never been to a kelly clarkson concert.

  • your not the only one i've never been to a kelly clarkson concert too but i want to!

  • no i havent but i rlly want to lol

  • love this song!!!

  • Whose song is this originally?

  • Kelly Clarkson covers "why" by Annie Lennox

  • Annie Lennox

  • Thanks, heh.

  • The emotional depth in this song is simply stunning. It almost makes me cry.

  • How absolutely ridiculous. It's well known that Annie has been one of Kelly's biggest musical influences and she was paying tribute to her hero. You must be a claymate.

  • Actually she's a huge Annie Lennox/Eurythmics fan and was covering this song long before she took her tour over seas.

  • i dont think kelly has to try, she does good at anything without tryin..

  • I agee with genxpirate! I recently went to see one of Kelly's concert and every song she sang was awesome and the stage presence was great too. I would love to see another one of Kelly's concert.

  • i saw Kelly do this Live and man alive it was amazing!

  • kelly rocks

  • I Love Kelly. she can sing anything and I would love it.
