Kelly Clarkson - That's What Friends Are For

[MiladyToxic]

LOL Justin..."he's the hippest senior citizen alive!"

[MrDTJones1]

best season ever. thank you kelly. you are the best idol winner ever. i wish you and carrie would do a duet. she is second best. and this song should NEVER be redone. good try though.

[felicialim06]

If I am allowed to choose any one the seasons of American Idol, I will choose this season.

The best.

[cjavengers13]

i still think that was one of the best seasons ever!!!!

[TahveyIngram1814]

i still have this on tape

[sac2marin]

This version sounds kinda ridiculous compared to Stevie and Vandross or Elton John

[GospelAccording2ME]

Those people shouldn't even be on the same stage as Kelly. She barely releases that beast of a voice as the group stands and the modulation occurs. Imagine if she sang full out. They wouldn't be able to take it.

[avadakid]

67 people don't have real friends

[foxyjohnuk]

2:34 amaing kelly showing her class :) x

[watoiir]

Check out Dionne warwick, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder and Whitney Houston

[nate91able]

that voice at 2:35-kelly voice or nikki?

[Funnypandalonies]

@nate91able kelly took that high note you're referring to. It's why she was placed in the middle.

[Mokkari77]

@nate91able

Nikki couldn't reach that high note with a stepladder.

[nate91able]

@Mokkari77

haha no im just wondering because at that time nikki doing that hand movement which makes me think that shes the one who belt that note.

[brozio79]

sorry...can't feel the song

[chrisescobar2000]

yuk thats all i have to say compared to the rea thing

[frsh6272]

This is not a good version.

[keyanist]

Listen up folks this is a different generation, so they do it in their style, please do not compare other versions to this one, please remember that singers are not better than each other, it's just that they sing different. Singers have different voices and different range. Come on give props for effort nuh. Wow.

[josestalinmp1]

Ja, porque sera que el tema original aparecen negros , pero aqui veo a muchos despintados, Donde estan los y las negras ?,,,acaso el marroncito mas bonito que el color serio ?

[nwaike]

Just clicked on this from the Dionne, Stevie, Whitney, Luther version. Painful.

[Italyown]

@nwaike

AAHA I did the same...

[SomebodysWatchnYou]

Kelly? League? What league? You must be very young. Stevie, Dionne, Elton & Gladys are ledgends. At this point in her career, Kelly can only hope for that one day.. Thats something that is earned over many many years. Like Kelly says in the video, Burt is genious...everybody knows his songs. Can the same be true for Kelly? Even now?

[nooriskandar]

@SomebodysWatchnYou lol hater

[SomebodysWatchnYou]

@nooriskandar Not at all. Just stateing a fact.

[SomebodysWatchnYou]

[keyanist]

@SomebodysWatchnYou Thank you for that one.

[SomebodysWatchnYou]

@keyanist Anytime :)

[samir94400]

The best version of this song is with : DIONNE WARWICK , LUTHER VANDROSS , STEVIE WONDER AND WHITNEY HOUSTON

[1985Mojito]

wauw, echt wauw

[redgrapeskins]

@TheSolrosen 50 pounds later will change a person!!

[deeway1963]

Kelly Clarkson...the first and best American Idol-Ever!  =)

[SimonTheSmartestOne]

Did you see the little Judges moment in the background? I did! ;D 1:56

[newjuice88]

They should have let Kelly and Tamara loose and just let them take over. They would have torn the place down!!!!! Love them!!!!

[newjuice88]

THEY SHOULC HAVE TURNED KELLY LOOSE AND JUST LET HER KILL IT!!!! SHE WOULD HAVE TORN THE PLACE UP!!!!!! LOVE HER!!!

[vangie01ful]

i like this song

[ItsMissDeanna]

after they hit that high note i got chills all through my body :P

[MsBeautifulgirl99]

i love their version. i love it so much when they hit the high not and everyone stands up and sways!

[tonician]

tamyra was the best by far on this season

[sstuck1993]

when kelly hit that note as they were standing up, i got chills.

[MsBeautifulgirl99]

@sstuck1993 me too.

[thefriendsproject]

have you seen the remake of this song by the Friends Project? Click on our name or search out David Raleigh The Friends Project. Pretty awesome and proceeds support the Ali Forney Center!

[tuhypyj]

shit

[GeeZone777]

Love 2:36 when everyone stands up coz of Kelly's amazingness

[DoublePrimo44004]

I could hear Kelly Clarkson apart from everyone else. She was the best American Idol. The version with Luther, Whitney, Stevie, and Dionne is the best one though. Luther represents in that one.

[camoral66]

check this version with Luther Vandross, W. Houston, Diaonne Warwick and Stevie Wonder..

[dmob2287]

why they speed it up?!?! assholes!

[thetriplethreat3]

I'm sorry Kelly and Nikki were gettin' it on this on!!!

[Devilock79]

Why did they speed it up? Idiots ruined one of the best songs ever written.

[desteny4u4ever]

beautifully done applauds

[goldenchild321]

i think the best version had dionne warwick, whitney houston, stevie wonder, and luther vandross....luther was epic in that performance!!!

[cheapcape]

@goldenchild321 I think Rod Stewart's version is best.

[kamikazeVX]

since season 1 and 2,AI has lost it's directions...sad to see

[piattoschips]

are they in a rush? why is it so fast?

[tipofmytongue1024]

[toddskisyd]

This is exactly how i thought the remake of this song and how today's talent would sound like !!! absolute shit ! go get these guys a studio ..

[kharitaskevin]

these guys are good..!! liked there version..acted like real friends

[SenseiTome]

Bad.

[allanji]

Whooooah......where's the fire.

Slow down and let the song breathe a bit.

[aimartin]

the worst version of the song ever... they ruin that beautiful song... go to hell

[aboo00oode992]

i think its too fast because the show have a limited time .

if you saw the performance you will know they cut the songs and make it a little fast .

[Dysphoriavii]

A group cannot sing like a "choir" if each person is singing a solo. They're all trying to out do eachother. I don't like it.

[willgand1976]

you all people an idiot surely, yes this version is too fast but the wrong is not the singer but the one who played the music is too fast than the original version. still the singer are good job. please next time think with your head not with you ....*BIP* (cencored)

[bekkerdk]

this version sucks.

[poretely]

Dam Version suck your own garbage man...

[sebbbo77]

[SteelAVic18]

They was rushing the song!! I dont like this version!! GO TAMYRA!!!

[aboo00oode992]

haha kelly is very far from them they cant reach her leage

[vicshang]

Kelly is by far out sang them all.........

[danimal97520]

@aboo00oode992 Gotta agree with you totally. Must be why they put her out front in the middle! Kelly's awesome here....as always

[starcloza]

uhgggh

[sportsmed90]

Best version of this song is when stevie wonder, dionne warwick, elton john, and gladys knight sang together!!

[abdul783]

so true!! but then their all professional singers, these guys wer just starting out

[Alika1212]

@sportsmed90 agreed!

[cheapcape]

@sportsmed90 No, the best version is Rod Stewart.

[DshankumMusic]

@sportsmed90 Best version - Stevie, Dionne, Luther & Whitney.

[goldenchild321]

@DshankumMusic

I couldnt agree more

[SeeSp0tRun]

Back when she was thin and hot.

[EvFan1985]

who

[lesson34]

lol. i agree with you

[999xander999]

Kelly has 1 hell of a voice :)

[Romanacer]

trash

[blackheartnnertia]

it so meaning for for that soong soo that for it

[AKJY]

This Is Rubbish...

[minamahalmahal]

this is crap!

[shippo481]

they fucked the song up

[JamaicaSugar]

How can there be no solos? This crap spectacle is horrible.

[yosiempreyo]

american trash

[rajmando1]

Drugged and raped the original. It is definitely a true High School Musical version lol. Pure trash.

[trialaccount07]

I can only hear Kelly and Tamyra. The finale should have been them. Nikki wasn't that good.

[animefreak351]

perfect harmony! :)

[NandaKC2311]

thats Kellys voice...i think

[treblemaker9]

ryan is so creepy on her apearance on the 1st season. but now he looks hot. :))

[NeNiNha13]

omg! ryan's hair!!! lol

[NandaKC2311]

i love Kelly at 2:35 !!!

awesome!!!

[treblemaker9]

is that kelly? i thought the lady on the far right sing it. whoever is it, it is so cool!

[tarheel0585]

That's Tamyra Grey. Find her cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow here on YT. Amazing!

[frankcassidy]

way too fast...........awful

[cqckid]

did burt write this song?

[matbolabc]

lol, this is sooo good! but something about RJ... hes annoying to me...

[AuntyTala]

reminds me of highschool musical. or american idol the musical

[Gexxxi]

definitely kelly at 2:35

she's soo great!!

[imluvinit777]

kelly looks so beautiful!

[Kliocke1]

tha guy is HOT!

[singingmysong20]

KELLY IS SO AMAZING!

[Emmyw0lf4life]

LOL omg people actually think that was nik? She can carry a tune but she doesn't have the pipes to pull that off.. THAT my friends was miss kelly clarkson belting that out...

[singingmysong20]

You are so right

[2605sille]

yea that was Kelly, people are deaf if they can't hear that !

[proud2bkcfan]

the belting was kelly. When they all stand up she tilts her head to the side to sing it and has her hand on her stomach. Listen to nikki's voice from the beginning it has a heavy sound. you can hear it throughout. Plus she sings super loud.

[Gabbica]

the best season!!!

[lpvcrcd]

can't agree with you more fresh and new interesting and unexpected ...throw in Kelly and nothing beats it / No fancy string orchestra - no backup singers to cover the bad notes like they do today.. no ricky minor band .. Just raw singing to poor sounding tracks even early audiitons only used a piano as pure a season as you can get !!! never to be duplicated!!!

[disneyprincess777]

that sounded really nice

[01clm21]

the was without a doubt kelly that sang that part, there is no way that was nikki.

[BladeAndSoul]

lol kelly killed them all with her belting she rules.

[Apollo4420]

it was for surw Kelly Clarkson who did that belting not at the end:) she is the bets american idol winner ever!

[justandhumane]

.who belted during 2:35-2:37. it was awesome..

[babyballerpnai]

it sounds like kelly to me

[lea210]

Kelly

[Mariiiiii93]

yeah was kelly

[KcFanXx]

that's Kelly !

The best American Idol Winner.

she's just the best!

[Sourg5]

kelly for sure

[broelover]

That was niki

[lafqt00]

I love how you can hear Kelly over everyone else and the ending was fantastic.

[stampnstom]

lol, nice. like the ending, what seacrest & dunkleman said. haha

[kldudmp]

ahh they not as good as dionne warwick and friends

[Apollo4420]

i agree kelly is one of thos few singers that sound better live then recorded. she is truelly amazing n i love it in this song wen they all cresendo louder n kelly's voice sticks out the most, shes amazing at singing like that!

[carolinagirl009]

Um Kelly is one of the very few singers out there who sound way better live than on a cd.

[Liestii]

the guy at

1:49 is so cute!

[o2syafiq]

lol are you deaf or something wrong with your ears?

[KidEnvy08]

it kinda reminded me of high school musical lol

[djuwell]

this performance was not good but i like this song very much

[YuenYun]

I dont like the pace... and it sounds too cluttered with everyone singing at once. Its supposed to be 1 person at a time! D:

[DanofDodorpia]

You're totally right!! It would'a been better if they'd of harmonised a bit more it would of been better!!

[milhet25]

ooooooooooooooo to fast

[milhet25]

to fucking bad stevie wonder is the best

[Archafka]

garbage

[nc28016]

I like it fast likes this all five are extremely talented with great vocal range!!

[ihitsobad]

far to fast!!!

[ohgee1]

U ain't Lyin'!!!1

[nkillabob07]

they butchered this beautiful song

[todesacanagem]

it has a really weird timing...its too fast for this song...for me it sounded tike a tv comercial song.

[njkr01]

what is the original singer of this song...

[tonydraxler]

Fisrt version I ever heard was Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, and Luther Vandross but there's another version with Dionne, Stevie, Gladys Knight and Elton John

[SteelerOfDeVille]

the original was with elton and gladys... it was for aids awareness in the early-to mid 80s.. probably before whitney was even a celeb...

[SteelerOfDeVille]

to correct myself... the ORIGINAL was actually a rod stewart song... go figure... butr, the first one to get popularized (per wiki) was the one with elton and gladys...

[nkillabob07]

real version is Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, and Luther Vandross

[jld005]

Not Luther Vandross. Elton John.

[raycasta10]

they suck!they re singing too fast!

[candyprincess96]

awesome i love how they sound all together

[Douger4u777]

I have to say the song was very rushed here to..Oringal way better

[ratandkow]

yeah true! but i loved Kellys high part :P

[WazzerAlvin]

jeez, they are rushing through this version

[Womynrule95]

original was better

[superbia1]

malwieder mittelmäßig nachgesungen :-(

[ChristinaJedra]

corny

[MarkoSogz]

no one can sing this song like Stevie Wonder...no way no how

[TwistedStables]

Very, very true.
