  • She's really amazing, but she can't belt like Whitney, not even near.

  • This is a VERY hard song to sing with the key transitions in the head notes. This just shows why Whitney is the vocal standard many singers mimic.

  • she sshoooo cuteee.

  • Watch Charice's version!!!

  • Sorry guys! David Foster's new daughter is far better than this lifeless rendition.

  • I love her voice♥

  • Kelly Clarkson is the greatest American Idol winner.

    I love the versatility of her voice.

  • Kelly is singing the song a few tones lower than Christina and than the original. Of course she's singing perfectly... but Kelly is not giving a performance here... she's just singing. What Christina did was a perfoermance and sang it on the tone of the original song. Say who was better is unffair honestly because both singins has nothing to do in terms of context.

  • crhistina shout , and kelly sing

  • She has good technique, etc. but I hate her voice. I only like Because of You & Breakaway.

  • Better that Christina??? PLEASEEEEEEE, I mean I love Keely buttttt Christina did it so much better, orrrrrrrr you can ask Whitney about it, she will tell you...

  • @guydirrty She could have done it a billion times better than Christina if she did the full version. This wasn't even rehearsed. The song is definitely a better fit for Kelly's voice, as it seemed too high for Christina when she sang it.

  • @mellynumerounoo I said I LOVE BOTHHHHHHHHHHHHH... Opinions are opinions and I like Christina's versions better... deal with that...

  • LOVE IT

  • She's so adorable... and her voice is flawless....

  • although kelly is AMAZING here without even really trying

    kelly clarkson has a r&b/pop voice not alternative rock

  • agree with you @aharpert12. Just think how great she would have done this song for a real performance. She's just so amazing.

  • Christina DID sing it better

  • amazing to sing this on the spot sitting down

  • Comment removed

  • Whitney is the most soulful singer I have ever heard. She is superior in her vocal calisthenics to her vocal styling which is really precise. Christina on the other hand, has sometimes unnecessary excessive styling which has a tendency to destroy the song but vocally she is the successor of Whitney

  • @nikaledesma God, Christina stans are so stupid.

  • @watchthesetens u are musically stupid, u are tremendously tone deaf. They are precise and accurate in every note when they sing. They are both very powerful vocal singers with the thick texture of their voices. Vocal styling is very easy and effortless for them especially on Christina which I give credit to because hers is authentic, creative and too risky not like Whitney which is bit common to young black American singers now who copied in the names of Monica and Filipino Charice

  • @nikaledesma Shut the fuck up. Idiot.

  • @watchthesetens Kelly Clarkson lacks conviction to the song when singing. Can't you hear Christina is throwing notes everywhere and sings always in tune. Well, I believe you can't do that LOL.

    Whitney is the most soulful singer who is not exaggerated I have ever known. I am just telling the truth, no offense.

  • @nikaledesma This is nonsense. 

  • Comment removed

  • Kelly has impeccable style to her voice but nasal and she only stick to closer keys which her voice is very controlled. She is not soulful compared to great Whitney. Christina's version to the song is 2nd to Whitney wherein of course she is really the voice - vocal styling, vocal technique and vocal precision.

  • Christina did it better

  • Christina Aguilera is amazing, but Kelly Clarkson killed her. This makes me want to cry. She is the best vocal discovery of the last decade with Christina behind her.

  • Christina. Love Kelly, but now that Christina's older she could sing it even better.

  • Comment removed

  • Well obviously she isn't going to over do it and add a bunch of runs and shit like xtina because she is on a COMEDY SHOW duh

  • You guys are dumb.... Whitney said Christina did the best cover way before Kelly ever sang this song.... Who knows what Whitney thinks now.... Whitney did drugs everyone know so drop it... Whitney high or not knows when someone cam sing or not....

  • LMFAO!!! Whitney stated Christina had the best cover?? Doesnt Whitney smoke crack?? Hmmm makes u wonder!

  • I'm not being funny, but Christina is not a good singer. She has a good voice, but her technique stops her from being a credibly good singer. Her vocal runs are always for show, rather than to emphasise the emotion of a song, and her belting range is always strained. If you listen to both versions you will notice how smooth and easy Kelly's voice is in comparison. I don't mean to hate on Aguilera, it's just annoying when people over rate her.

  • I just don't care about what whitney said, she mustn't be a good oppinion if she's unable to state this as the very best cover of "Run to you"

  • i'm so inspired by your carreer your music yourliicks your really my ultimate ido kelly... beautifull perfomance :) congrats:)

  • @MegaRockstare i dont believe that either.... I don't think Whitney would even comment on that. Kelly Has way better control and a vibrato... ChriSTRAINa Strains the durring the second verse and through the whole sung for that matter

  • Kelly sings cover songs so much better than her own ones know

  • if i were a very rich men, i will buy her what ever she need

  • @MegaRockstare And Whitney actually compared this video to Christina singing it and said Christina sang it better? Because clearly Whitney for sure hasn't seen this. And who cares who sang it better. Why create a war of who sang it better Jesus Christ. Give it up. Obviously you're gonna say that, you're an Xtina fan.

  • Sorry but Legendtina Aguilera did it better

  • Legendtina > Piggy Sizeofahouseon

  • christina aguilera sounds a mess imo.

  • she does an awesome job!!!

  • gourgeous singer.....

  • Clarkson did a great job, but evidently Aguilera SLAYS her completely on this song.

  • For me that Kelly Clarkson is sing better than Whitney Houston !! : ) hahhaahhaa .............

  • CHRISTINA AGUILERA RUN TO YOU WAS LIKE SOOO AAMAZINGGG I LOVEDD THE SONGGG AFTERWARDS!!! WHITNEY PRAISEDD HERR <333

  • kkk... lemme break down to everyone here....

    Christina Aguilera's version was amazing (whitney said so herself)

    Kelly's version was amazing as well.. but like Xtina's was an original rendition she made it her own

    charice has an amazing voice no doubt.. but i find that she tends to copy the artist she covers... totally trying to emulate their voice and sound.. and not really making it her own...

    thats why i prefer xtina nd kelly's renditions

  • christina aguiliera sing that better

  • charice's version is way better... :)

  • Perfect Kelly!

  • the best LIVE version is by Charice - /watch?v=uGePgO0hndc

    Kelly's take is pretty awesome too :)

  • Clarkston is soooo good. Why isn't her career on fire?

  • christina aguilera the best

  • guys, try to listen to this another version of "run to you"

    a 16 year old girl singing it live like Kelly here's the link v=uGePgO0hndc

    she is amazing too :D

  • Looks very sweet, sings well- purrfect

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • 0:35-0:36 the most wonderful sound i've heard

  • AMAZING VOICE!

  • AMAZING!!!!!!! 

  • christinas aguilera version in my opinion was just amazing and even whitney herself stated it was the best

  • @jg9212 this is kelly clarksons video not christina

  • @badmaruz did i ask you ? dont you think i could clearly see that from my computer screen. Didnt i write in my opinion so get off my shit thankyou.

  • @jg9212 hahaha uve got 2 be joking, christinas ok, when shes not grunting &screaming!!

  • @jg9212 Sorry kid, Christina is bad but she can't touch Kelly on this one.

  • @frsh6272 are you serious cmon now the original artist whitney houston who sung run to you HERSELF said christina did the best rendition of the song so look it up. christina is the voice of the generation and has charted best voices in the world being the youngest and beating mariah carey so i dont think so

  • @jg9212 I just think Kelly sounds more natural. Now don't get me wrong I think that Christina is the best thing out right now and she is really winning me over.

  • @jg9212 Kelly is singing this on a comedy show, off the cuff, and still sang it better than Christina.

  • @kcROCKShard say that to christinas grammys , her 4 octave voice range, youngest rolling stones best voices of the world beating mariah carey and whitney herself saying she did the best rendition good bye :}

  • @jg9212  get a life

  • @jg9212 1st off this oft quoted distinction she received from Rolling Stone magazine is supposed to mean what? They do those polls like every month . Y'all cite it like its some guiness book of records. mariah and whitney have topped lists like this for 20+ years and the one time screamtina does it her stans run with it. Her rendition of arguably the hardest Whitney song to sing, was mediocre at best. That song kicked her ass; Kelly nailed it perfectly. But hey at least aguie looked that nice

  • @mcarey ok since they do it SO much where do you kelly in it ? exactly its a big deal to be put on their and ITS NOT A POLL real music prodigy's who go to school for this inquire the list so do better research next time hunny. Your trying to say it kicked her ass that doesnt even make sence on the subject that it was a already hard song to sing so christina made it even harder by doing falsettos every 2 seconds. Whitney herself wanted her to sing it for a reason. So there is no comparison bye!

  • @jg9212 Was that your best, sweetie? You're giving way too much legitimacy to a magazine ranking. So if they did another ranking or if another equally ranked magazine did a list that didn't even feature xtina would that mean she isn't a good singer? The song kicked her ass b/c she didn't have the full voice, clear head notes, connected notes or vibrato to sing the song Whitney did. She was doing a lot every 2 seconds, but hardly any of it was good singing. Refresh and try again, babe.

  • @jg9212 Christina is one of the most overrated singers ever. Her tone is not pleasing to the ear, she oversings and overriffs every song, and in recent performances can't even hit all the notes she used to without straining.

    Kelly, on the other hand, has much more control over her voice, and is much more versatile. She can literally sing any style of music and sound equally good, adjusting her voice to fit whatever song she is singing.

  • @SteveJ2008 thank you. Christina can sing yes but she oversings and it is quite annoying. Kelly has a nice voice.

  • @kcROCKShard You hit it exactly. It's off the cuff and still dazzles. The power in her voice and the inflections --all so effortlessly....WOW.

    I did watch Christina's before this and I would also have to give the edge to Kelly. Again Wow, her strength. I think her LEVEL of skill is underappreciated. Probably because of the 'Idol' stigma. But she's much more than just an Idol winner for sure. Go, Kelly.

  • @kcROCKShard And addition to this, Whitney Houston has never heard Kelly Clarkson sing it. She might change her mind of Kelly was in the proper environment to sing it like Christina.

  • @kcROCKShard If you guys and gals really want to know who can best sing this song today, put the words "Charice Run To You Boy & Kris " in the youtube searchbox and see the amazing vocal prowess and performance of Charice in the video clip. Kelly Clarkson's attempt here of this very, very difficult song to sing is just a very small fraction of the huge vocal skills of Charice in that video while Christina Aguilera was struggling vocally throughout the song trying to sing the difficult parts.

  • @kcROCKShard they're both great singers yall. And BTW whitney can't sing anymore...smoked one too many. that's what happens when you lose your way.

  • @kcROCKShard i don't feel that way

  • @kcROCKShard Aguilera (a LEGEND) will ALWAYS have the best LIVE rendition of Run to You, not Clarkson and not Charice. Also because Aguilera's has official credit by the owner of the song, Aguilera had the HONOR to be called hers the best live rendition of the song by HOUSTON :)

    Nice try Clarkson, you did great, but not as great as Aguilera.

  • @kaiyno Christina is NOT a legend. She's a third-rate singer at best. Kelly does this song much more naturally and technically better than that warbling, banshee ass bitch Christina.

  • @watchthesetens You wish that a lot, I know, but reality is VERY different. Aguilera is a living legend whether you want to acknowledge it or not. Has Clarkson ever performed along Andrea Bocelli? The Rolling Stones? Madonna? B.B. King? Tony Bennett? Etta James? Herbie Hancock? Yolanda Adams?.......... yeah.. a "third-rate singer at best"... Clarkson only sang this song because she wishes she would be more like Aguilera and have a voice like hers, good luck with that wannabe :)

  • @kaiyno She's not a living legend and Kelly sang it better because she has a better voice. End of discussion.

  • @watchthesetens Underwood and Charice already DUMPED this wannabe with their voice, and I hope this nobody manages to stay relevant in the end... Even Charice has performed with legend Celine Dion and Clarkson can't manage to get a decent duet performance with a legend?? the "third-rate singer" is DEFINITELY this wannabe. Keep deluding fool, since that's what you do best with your wannabe "better voice" LOL

  • @kaiyno What part of "end of discussion" did you not get? You're incredibly stupid.

  • @watchthesetens You're incredibly idiotic :)

  • @kaiyno Too bad Kelly is still better than Christina. You're a hater and have no clue what singing is.

  • @watchthesetens In your dreams she is, I know, and to hate is not in any way to know Clarkson doesn't have better vocals than Aguilera, the one who doesn't have a clue on anything including singing is you retard.

    Stay failing with your wannabe Aguilera-copycat :)

  • @kaiyno Have you studied voice? Do you know what proper support and vocal placement mean? Do you understand the proper place to resonate when you sing? Do you even know what it sounds like when you are producing the right sounds? IF you did, you'd know that Kelly sings correctly. Christina does NOT. Now shut up and stop wasting my time, you dolt.

  • @watchthesetens Have you studied voice and all that you claim??? pretty sure you haven't, you're probably a wannabe too like your fav, no wonder you also bark too much against Aguilera.

    Dream idiot, stay deluded :)

  • @kaiyno Yes, I have for years. And I'll take this response as a "no" to all the questions I asked you. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. I'm done.

  • @watchthesetens Right... you have for years been an ASS. Keep dreaming with your irrelevant wannabe.

  • @kcROCKShard You're SO right. Kelly's gifts are natural and just flow out of her. That wailing, screaming tramp Christina HAGuleira will never be better than Kelly. Ever.

  • @jg9212 Can we stop comparing artists? I am a fan of both. (Bigger Christina fan) and it made me sad to see a Christina fan comment on this and bash another singer. They have different voices, they are going to sound different. Xtina herself has complimented Kelly and Kelly is a fan of Xtina. Christina would dislike this comment as much as me, because she hates when people like you insist on comparing artists.

    Kelly did a great job in my opinion. (This goes to Kelly fans bashing Christina also)

  • @jg9212 have you seen Charice version of this song which is away better than Christine A.

  • @jg9212 Christina oversang a lot which she tends to do and yeah Whitney said it was best back when Christina did it but that was long before Kelly sang it.

  • @xxviciousbeautyxx since you want to bring up dates then i could just say she was 19 at the time and her vocals have gotten alot stronger from that point. she is the voice of the generation if anyone likes it or not :]

  • @jg9212 I know that her voice is stronger now and I think she has an incredible voice but I just believe she does tend to oversing a lot and it doesn't always work and everyone will have their opinion.

  • @xxviciousbeautyxx your right she does over sing but i think thats why i her fans love that , i know thats what i love to hear out of her i dont want her to just sing i want to hear her belt and do her whistles i love it lol but atleast your cool about your opinion and not arrogant about it so i thankyou ;]

  • her smile when she sings just melts my heart. what a voice

  • wow ?!

  • OMG!!! Why have I just found this on here! I think she did better than Whitney on this! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • She makes this look so easy!!

  • wow she has a very good breath control.

    I love KC :D

  • love it !!!

  • wowwwwww <3

  • I love how she's all smiley, and that grin. so sweet.

  • She's such a great singer. I'll admit she she lacks a little soul in this song but it still sounds so good!

  • If you say she cannot sing, you are just being bitter and negative.

  • If you say she can't sing your just bitter and negative.

  • charice is better

  • @reddbone69 Are you insane..look up kelly singing "Lies" or even " I never loved a man that way that I love you" ..She is singing this song casually on an australian comedy show. Why do you think she is smiling and just sitting down. It is not her giving her all (but still does really well). Even Aretha herself complimented Kelly.

  • @reddbone69 you're so mistaken and ignorant. seriously look into her career and 'my december' album and covers that she does live. they are not poppy songs.

  • @reddbone69 You're fuckin idiot! Kelly has soul...maybe more than christina ... or withney :) Maybe oyu must think twice before you say something

  • She did average.

  • P E R F E C T! ♥ this chick!

  • shes so fuckin beautiful....soul and all...

  • sang gurl!

  • wish i can watch the whole show

  • @jjamj3 You can watch all the kelly parts. Just search YT for Kelly Clarkson good news week, and it's the first video.

  • omg shes amazing

  • id love her to do a full cover of this!

  • this is really cool :) and she didn't add too many runs which is nice.

  • omg I just fell inlove. There's something really special about this video!

  • jaws drop effortless...

    wyl tinas version isnt as flawless

  • Without even trying, she's amazing. Love her so much!

  • beautiful

    

  • i liked her normal version but i preffered regines velasquez high version.

  • She is adorable. How can you NOT love this woman.

  • awesome! its not easy to sing a whitney song. bravo kelly lol

  • AWESOME

  • Better than Christina Aguilera!

  • @free2bfierce on what planet??

  • God, I wish Kelly would sing and twist Jodi Benson's part of your world/reprise from the little mermaid on the new blu-ray .........Man that would be EPIC!!!

  • God, I wish Kelly would sing and twist Jodi Benson's part of your world/reprise from the little mermaid on the new blu-ray .........Man that would be EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Fuck Kelly she sung the shit out of that!

  • wouldnt you just like to hear her sing a full version of this song?

  • Absolutely mesmorizing!

  • Greatness.

  • she is very adorable.. i want to give her a tight hug

  • Kelly is so amazing. She is adorable and her voice gives me chills. What a beautiful performance.

  • that guy next to kelly looked real mesmorized far shes big AZ now all good tho

  • so pretty!

  • she can sang all songs!! and when she sing it it become more and more bautiful, what a wonderful voice she has!! gotta love ya kelly!!

  • that was absolutely mesmorizing.

  • who is that guys besides kelly? he's hot

  • Girl could sing Old MacDonald had a farm and I would buy it! There is nothing she cannot sing and make it sound perfect. Hey ask the Pope? How many have been so blessed to do that? Simon said right after the crap about My Dec which is my favorite album of hers., that she did not know how good she actually is. He said Kelly is only going to get better and better. I am a firm beliver in this also.

  • how about that little girl grin of hers? That is so sweet I love it . Whenshe wrinkles that nose and smiles. Wow! thank you Lord for bringing us Kelly Clarkson.

  • UHh she gave me goosebumps...omg.

  • the voice to end all voices. beautiful girl.

  • i just love her voice!

  • kelly is the ultimate singer and pop star. she is amaizng and her vocals are out of this world..one of a kind. love her and her music! cant wait for the fall tour here in the US!

    kc fan in missouri~

  • im the no.1 fan of her

  • clarkson fan* forever

  • she blew me away man!

    i am kelly clarkson forever!

  • I actually think her voice has gotten better. Definitely richer and more mature.... mmmm so sexy

  • seeing Kelly on the show and Hearing her beatifull voice made me an instant fan.

    WOW shes gorgeous too.

    hope she releases this song exactly as it was done here with just a piano. far better than the original.

  • now that's the kelly i miss...all pure talent!

  • oii.. you shouldn't "miss it" cause she's always had it!

    All pure talent, doesn't come and go..

    She's always been amazing and always will be!!

  • no it went away for a while. now it seems to be back. and talent does go away and come back, look at Mariah

  • Kelly's talent doesn't just come and go. This is just a different style of music from what she does these days. Try listening to one of her performances of Up to the Mountain, I think you'd see a difference between that and maybe something like SUBG.

  • 41 shows later, i know the diff between all her songs. :) but thanks

  • She's Amazing! I know that this is originally a Whitney song but does anyone know if she is going to record this?

  • probably not, she sang this for a skit

  • check out the dude staring at kelly.. lol

  • I got chills listening to this. Beautiful voice.

  • She is truly magic.....

  • Kelly roxs!!!!!! the end

  • i'm cryn' now !! ** amazing I LOVE KELLY!!
