She takes this song and brings things blues singer have developed since the 40's and puts those licks in on top of a stellar big band era peformance...
And her acting and expressions and attatchement to the words are perfect
I think this was Kelly's best performance on American Idol and I wish they would do the 1940s week again. That era really shows off vocal skills more than any other style. anyone can do crappy riffs and runs, but it is rare to find singers who can sing like this.
This is one of the best American Idol performances of all time - the only ones ahead of it IMO are Fantasia's Summertime, Adam's Mad World, and LaToya's All By Myself.
What I think makes her performance of this song so great is that she's having fun doing it. She's better when he's enjoying herself, or "feeling it". If she's doing a performance because she has too, she's still good but not as good. IMO
Kelly's got a ton of styles that is perfect for her voice and that's why I love her so much. She could sing this and two seconds later blast us away with some pop-rock. =]
i dont know if i quite agree with that statement. there were some other great ones as well. However I am sure we can agree that she did an amazing job on this song.
it showed on the internet which one is better alon or stuff like that there I am going with alone.I LOVE THIS TOO, Bt I LIKE RTAMIELE TOO AND SHE SANG BETTER
This is the original American Idol! The best ever, hands down, no competition. Her voice is gorgeous and she just has stage presence. Her voice and face are both so expressive that I can't help but watch. I can't watch this just once.
Good God in Heaven. You have said, exactly, word for word, right here--what I have been thinking ever since she won that first season. I have tried to watch AI since, and indeed have, but... There is no other person who so embodies the notion of the American Idol for me. And THIS is the actual performance that got me to sit up and take notice. Actually, I was doing dishes at the time, and had to stop and go check out what I was hearing... Been a die-hard fan ever since. To each their own!
I live in Colombia and the show is aired here just by Pay-per-view. I saw this performance just a couple of months ago, and OMG this girl is amazing. Kelly, LaKisha and Fantasia are the most impressive I've heard and seen. I don't like Carrie, Jordin, Taylor that much.
She was and always will be the greatest American Idol ever. She put more work into one song than some current contestant's have the entire season. We love you Kelly! :]
That's one of the flaws with Idol...that make the contestants sing outdated genre's of music and then rip them a new one for sounding "old-fashioned"....Could you imagine hearing this song on contemporary radio??? But Kelly's great
No buddy can be better than , only as good as Kelly Clarkson!

Kelly Clarkson is one of the best singers of the last 50 years.
If Wonder Bread could sing it would sound and look like Carrie Underwood. Blech.
