dear kelly: it is possible to EMOTE without screaming. please, take notes from carrie underwood, a true master of subtlety. that is why she's the best-selling/most awarded idol winner
@divashalo except that she is NOT the best-selling Idol winner it IS actually Kelly and plus atleast when you turn on the radio you can hear Kelly on more than one station
@canesrule96 Mighty strong words for a spineless coward from behind a computer screen. Something tells me Kelly will be laughing all the way to the bank while you sit on your useless ass spending time gossiping about someone you don't even know rather than dealing with your own life.
@DeeRocable tool is an alt metal band. their lead singer also has a good voice, a very revealing voice (as i'm sure you also believe clarkson to posses). i find a lot of tools subject matter to come across as abrasive at first, but then painfully beautiful and vulnerable upon a second listen. if you feel like checking them out, feel free. either way, i do like the way clarkson released her emotion into the song around 2.40 after seeming to brood over the idea of the song before it. peace
@brucanthwood to be honest, i just took the time to listen like u advised, and i really like the song vicarious! wow! thanx for the heads up i will continue to open up my ears to it
I, too, was expecting a Tool cover. I can't quite make up my mind whether I'm disappointed or relieved to discover that it just happens to have the same name. I mean, her? Singing Tool's Sober? That would be very odd, and kind of like a particularly nasty car accident, you can't turn away.
@mmhansen actually I think kelly singing tool would be awesome!! I loved it when kelly did the screaming performance in 2005! I mean, the girl clearly would rather do rock than pop hence the problems with her lable.
@mexicanoboi51 Once again Tool is amazing but Kelly is not your average pop star! She clearly would rather do rock than pop so even if this was a cover of Tool I don't think it would be so bad!
Do you think that Kelly Clarkson or Christina Aguilera or Justin Beiber would be famous if they were ugly? No, they need to sell their face in order to sell their music.
The singer of Tool prefers to hide his face because he understands that it distracts you from the actual musical content. You never hear Tool fans say, I love Maynard, he's just so cute. No, you hear them say, "This song just blew my fucking mind."
And that's the difference between a pop singer and a real singer.
KELLY CLARKSON BROUGHT ME HERE AND THANK GOD SHE DID! AMAZING TALENT THAT WOMAN HAS! VOCALS, LYRICS, PRODUCTION, AND BUILD UP OF THE SONG ARE ALL BRILLIANT!
@toobuku76 So what if she did!!!! She's not your average pop star! She has stated before that she would rather do rock than pop but her lable won't allow it! Personally I think she's better at rock than pop! Tool maybe alt. Metal but kelly has the vocal capacity and versatility to do even Sober by Tool!!! So don't put a negative comment on somebody's music because you seem to be the type of superficial music listener who fully believes in and supports stereotypes and "separation of genres"!!!!
BOO!!...The TITLE Sober should be Retired as a SONG...TOOL already has knocked it out the park..move on..nothing to see here..and arnt you glad she isnt covering IT aka Desecrating it..
@ilovejohnhiatt WOW...the TITLE Sober should be retired or something..like in sports..cuz there will never be another song of that title that as near its kick assery...
One starred just for the audacity of touching TOOL terrain. What a joke.... this video links to the right of Tool's 1st show for the Aenima album. Mainstream pop garbage should never be associated with art. Tool became renown through SWEAT... because they earned it long before the days of manufactured corporate garbage false icons like Kelly Clarkson. Fast food music... Here today, forgotten tomorrow.
Kellys album My December flopped because she took artistic control over the album, she wanted to make her completely own album, she wanted full control of the album but her record label didn't allow her to do so, so she fired her manager just to make the album. And they later refused to promote the album. She took a major risk releasing this album but she didn't care, she's in it for the music not the fame.
@apophysis7 And keep in mind there is no such thing as bad music.
We all have different taste in music and just because someone doesn't like "Tool" doesn't mean they have shit taste in music.
Same thing goes for mainstream music, if people like it, it's obviously good to them and that's something you have to respect, or you could just be an asshole that nobody likes.
But hey tool fans smoke pot and shit right? Doesn't surprice me you're complete idiots then.
@MrGarky Maybe if you'd see her as something more than just "hot" you could be taken seriously as someone who cares about deeply philosophical music. But alas, you can't.
@colincoolness Well, you know what they say: If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
Following that rule of thumb, I'm pretty much precluded from saying anything about her music. So in the interest of politeness, I at least mentioned the one thing she has going for her.
Besides, it's not like I'm being dishonest--she *is* hot. Just like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera, her looks are extremely important to her marketability.
@MrGarky So what? Her hotness is an afterthought. She doesn't rely on that to push record sales, she's done that for being completely herself, and singing her ass off. If you don't like her music and think her beauty is the only reason she has record sales, that's your opinion and that's fine. Everyone is entitled. But classify it as such. Just don't act like it's a fact, post it on a video of hers that a lot of her fans watch, and become defensive when someone calls you out on it.
@colincoolness Pop music is very very image based you have to agree. But then again so are all genres, I think Tool are one of the few bands who step out of that box.
@ainsleywalker Seems to me that if you were secure enough with your opinion, you wouldn't have to demand a total stranger on youtube to validate it. If you like Tool, great. I'm not gonna try to change your mind. Why can't you just accept the fact that I like the music that I like and move on?
@colincoolness Why get SO defensive. :| I was simply joining in with the mature conversation you were having with 'MrGarky' by giving my point of view.
'Why can't you just accept the fact that I like the music that I like and move on?' Where in my comment did I attack the music you like? Please point this out? In future I'll refrain from talking about Tool if people are going to get SO upset about me commenting on the originality of Tool and taking it as a personal attack....
@ainsleywalker I'm a Pop music fan, ainsley. Not because of the superficial, visual aspect of it. I honestly like the music, and I feel better when I listen to it, so when you make a hasty generalized comment to me personally like "Pop music is very image-based, you have to agree with that." you're chalking up a love of mine to a very narrow point-of-view and telling me I have to agree with that narrow point-of-view. I perceived that as an attack and reacted accordingly. How do you not get that?
@ainsleywalker Also, like I said in my first post, I'm not upset with the fact that you're talking about Tool. I think it's great that there are different genre's of music that everyone can enjoy. What I am upset with is when someone feels the need to tell someone they don't even know they're wrong because they don't share their love of the same artist. I'm a Kelly fan, you're a Tool fan. Why can't we both accept that about one another and get on with our lives?
@colincoolness But I never at any point told you that you were wrong? I bought Kelly Clarksons first album haha? I think she's pretty cool. I never mentioned her in my comment at any point? I mentioned how Tool avoid being image based unlike nearly all bands/artists in all genres, and that was it?
@ainsleywalker Let me ask it this way, then. What were/are you hoping to accomplish by engaging me specifically about your opinion on pop music and saying that I have to agree? Better yet, why do you keep replying to me? Why does it matter to you so much? You don't even know me.
@colincoolness Seriously why are you being so butthurt about this? You've taken what I've said and COMPLETELY spun it to justify being defensive. Why am I replying? BECAUSE YOU'RE ASKING ME QUESTIONS. I've had enough I'm going to sit here and explain myself CONSTANTLY to someone so mindbogglingly slow. Goodbye.
@ainsleywalker Since when does asking questions mean someone's "butthurt?" Also, curiosity has nothing to do with someone being slow. I worry about the opposite, actually. Not asking enough questions, not being informed enough. It wasn't my intention to personally attack you. I hate it when that happens to me, so if you feel I've done that in any way, I'm truly sorry. Peace out and blessed be, man.
@Sup3rMegaNerd Im a Tool fan dont smoke pot but I think its nobodys business if some1 does!!! anyway..Im dif not and Idiot with a IQ of 140 "having the test taken while I want aware and timed at SMU... anyway..just wanted to correct your mistaken analysis! Peace..and Clarkson is ok..but her or HER WRITERS should know not to name a song "SOBER". now that idea was dumb.
@KyleRayKeith She didn't have any writers for this song. She wrote it herself! This whole album was done by her. Maybe you should go bitch about P!NK'S song also called sober! Almost every artist in every genre from country to metal has a freakin song titled "SOBER"!! That's just how the world works! I'm a HUGE tool fan but I'm an EVEN BIGGER Kelly fan and I fully agree with all aspects of this song including the title and I would be freakin' STOKED if she did a cover of Tool's "Sober"!!!
@emolyemu89 Wow ..I feel so in my place now..and you woke me up to the magic of Kelly Clarkson...oh wait just lost it...lol...Im proud she writes her own songs...just dont listen much pop..cuz of the fakeness..but sincerely with out the sarcasim if she does write it props to her..Im a very tounge to cheek sarcastic type..I mean no harm... Peace out..
@KyleRayKeith I think Pink's okay too but I definitely prefer Tool's AND Kelly's sober rather than hers! I listen to a lot of metal and Rock but I still think it's okay to listen to other genres too I don't understand what the big deal about this kelly-tool mixup is!!
@emolyemu89 there is a tool video that is or was up of a live Sober by Tool Perfomance..and somehow or some1 being funny had put a link of this video from there...but I will say Kelly is the only true American Idol..IMO too..being the first...and imo even though not my cup of tea the better of the Idol Winners...but yeah stupid link thingy caused all this debacle..
@apophysis7 Here today, gone tomorrow, huh? Is that why Kelly's in her 9th year as a recording artist? Also, Kelly struggled for several years before she went on American Idol. She passed on two prior record deals that wanted to make her into something she wasn't. She still fights against greedy record execs who want her to release pure, mindless pop in lieu of the types of albums she wants to put out. Those are the facts. Everything you've said reads as opinion you're wanting to make factual.
I enjoy every Tool related comment I've seen on here because that's what brought me here too.... now after hearing this song, i think i may have to go and get UN Sober...
It's not really Kelly's fault that this was listed under related videos, a computer sorts these out based on related tags. But yeah, I came here from a TOOL video as well. Imma just go back now.
lol no!!! i fell for it like some commercialized pop music fan... no song should ever be named sober again. unless tool puts out sober II like metalica. except that would be gay also...
Fuck this stupid hoe. Sober is tools song. they were around WAY before this stupid whore. (yes i know her sober and tools are two different ones) but she is a cunt. Enough said.
I AM JUST A WORTHLESS LIAR. I AM JUST AN IMBECILE! I WILL ONLY COMPLICATE YOU! TRUST IN ME AND FALL AS WELL! I WILL FIND A CENTER IN YOU! I WILL CHEW IT UP AND LEAVE! I WILL WORK TO ELEVATE YOU JUST ENOUGH TO BRING YOU DOWN! TRUST ME! TRUST ME! TRUST ME! TRUST ME! TRUST ME!!!!!
Sober? Kelly Clarkson pining "where's my baby?" is an insult to Danny Carey on a good day. With a lot less expression in her voice than his drums. I bet Kelly Clarkson doesn't even know who's song she has butchered.
@TechXMarine Once you take a music theory class of some sort you'll learn that all music is shit (Kelly Clarkson isn't the exception), Tool also being included in the "Shit" category. Don't judge others for their musical tastes if yours isn't much better.
@supersajinjesus No, I'm not trolling. It's just the honest truth. If you can't accept it, than that's just too bad. I actually like Kelly Clarkson, but I can fully accept that she's a shit artist. I can't help who I like. I've also heard some stuff from Tool, thanks to a friend, and I like some of their stuff. But as I said, I accept that they too fall under "shit" category. Just don't judge others for their musical tastes, ours aren't any better.
@nonshalan Honestly, It's rather hard for me to believe that you're not a troll. First off you go out of your way to tell me and others not to do the exact same thing you are doing. I hate to burst your bubble but enrolling in an elective music class, doesn't put you any further up the totem pole.
PS- To all the TooL fans, Maynard hates you kids, and for good reason you're all just as blind and as Hateful as the people he targeted in his music through out the earlier years.
really? i didnt know you spoke for maynard amazing how he cant speak for himself and you know every word he wants to say to us and how he feels. you truly are magical. fucking prick.
@scienceatheism I do have magical powers at making nerds mad on the internet. Okay I'm going to try and summarize this information I've gathered over the years through interviews and what other little information I've established. Maynard has over the years grown more and more disenfranchised with his growing fan base, as TooL especially has become more and more mainstream. Originally writing and performing for smaller and what he had hoped to be an intellectual and artistic fan base.
i dont think i ever said you had magical powers. but uhh people have there own interpretation of tool songs and i agree with you 100 percent most kids just want to bang there head to something other then listening to the power of the music, to the lyrics, thats exactly why i stopped listening to rap and started listening to tool because rap lyrics are lets face it are STUPID. tool just makes your heart flutter..cont..
..cont.. i love puscifer, i hate A Perfect Circle it was to mainstream for me reminded me to much of Trapt and no one wants to hear one of there musical heroes sound stupid and commercialized. but do not assume that all people who listen to tool is stupid, because assuming makes an ass out of you and me and we dont want that now do we?
@scienceatheism@scienceatheism First off yeah you kinda did, second I said the vast majority (It's becoming apparent that you struggle with absorbing material beyond the surface level.) And my "assumptions" are pretty well backed just looking at the responses to this video, alone. Also in reference to your opinions on APC, I think Maynard says it best in hooker with a penis . Also I laughed pretty hard at the idea of you bunching all rap artists together.
@scienceatheism Nowadays; however it has become increasingly obvious that the tool fan base, has rather been over ridden by what call "fat kids" and Maynard terms "the kids who eat McDonalds". Which are pretty much uneducated hateful dipshits that fail to really look deep into the music and attempt to solve the puzzle's of self expansion that the band had pain stakingly, spent time producing.
@scienceatheism Now we just have unaware kids banging their heads to a guy screaming about things they don't know, they just want to hear Danny hit drums. If you want further evidence of Maynard’s feelings towards Tool's fan base just do a comparison between earlier stage presence of pre aenima performances and today's.
@scienceatheism . One thing I do find is that they still enjoy playing in Europe and I remember, Adam talking about the comparison between the more intellectual crowds in Europe and how they enjoy touring. If you want any sources on this (This refers to anyone reading this) Pm me and I can attempt to dredge them up.
@scienceatheism Cliffs: Band got popular, more stupid kids started listening, the band became more and more disheartened with the process of enjoying what they did. Now Maynard spends more time in the vineyards and on the mats practicing Brazilian jiu jitsu, and touring with other bands. IE Pucifer
@nonshalan Tell me then, who doesn't fall under the shit category? You've said Kelly does, (I don't know how you came to that conclusion but o well) you've said tool is who else is, or isn't, according to you? I'm just wondering...
Who the F is Tool??? This is a Kelly Clarkson song written by her. It is amazing and her voice is fricken amazing. Go play with your own tool. Idiots.
like everyone else, i saw this and was like, "wtf. why the hell would she play a tool song?" sure enough, shes not good enough. tools "sober" has so much more emotion in it. tools song paints a vivid picture of a totally broken man at very rock bottom, atleast to me. i just can't feel any emotion coming from this song. but thats just my 2 cents.
It's the 3rd anniversary of her "My December" CD. I love it !!!!! Can't get over what beautiful music she wrote and so emotionally performed. Don't know of many performers who can do that. She's amazing. She is so super talented.
its really funny how people r saying this maynard guy sings sober better. umm, how can u say that wen its not even the same song?
anywho, kc is amazing. great performance. :) screw all these others who came on here to talk about some other song called sober. we might as well talk about all songs called sober then! well, p!nk has one too... anyone else? jeez! its a kelly vid. talk about kelly.
OH fuck, I thought she was about to bust out and scream "WHY CAN'T WE NOT BE SOBER!!!!!" but I misjudged, there's no way Kelly Clarkson is as cool as Maynard....
good to see the tool fans raging here :)

@KyleRayKeith I think Pink's okay too but I definitely prefer Tool's AND Kelly's sober rather than hers! I listen to a lot of metal and Rock but I still think it's okay to listen to other genres too I don't understand what the big deal about this kelly-tool mixup is!!
emolyemu89 6 months ago
@emolyemu89 there is a tool video that is or was up of a live Sober by Tool Perfomance..and somehow or some1 being funny had put a link of this video from there...but I will say Kelly is the only true American Idol..IMO too..being the first...and imo even though not my cup of tea the better of the Idol Winners...but yeah stupid link thingy caused all this debacle..
KyleRayKeith 6 months ago
@apophysis7 Here today, gone tomorrow, huh? Is that why Kelly's in her 9th year as a recording artist? Also, Kelly struggled for several years before she went on American Idol. She passed on two prior record deals that wanted to make her into something she wasn't. She still fights against greedy record execs who want her to release pure, mindless pop in lieu of the types of albums she wants to put out. Those are the facts. Everything you've said reads as opinion you're wanting to make factual.

Sober? Kelly Clarkson pining "where's my baby?" is an insult to Danny Carey on a good day. With a lot less expression in her voice than his drums. I bet Kelly Clarkson doesn't even know who's song she has butchered.

@TechXMarine Once you take a music theory class of some sort you'll learn that all music is shit (Kelly Clarkson isn't the exception), Tool also being included in the "Shit" category. Don't judge others for their musical tastes if yours isn't much better.

supersajinjesus 1 year ago
@supersajinjesus No, I'm not trolling. It's just the honest truth. If you can't accept it, than that's just too bad. I actually like Kelly Clarkson, but I can fully accept that she's a shit artist. I can't help who I like. I've also heard some stuff from Tool, thanks to a friend, and I like some of their stuff. But as I said, I accept that they too fall under "shit" category. Just don't judge others for their musical tastes, ours aren't any better.
nonshalan 1 year ago
@nonshalan Honestly, It's rather hard for me to believe that you're not a troll. First off you go out of your way to tell me and others not to do the exact same thing you are doing. I hate to burst your bubble but enrolling in an elective music class, doesn't put you any further up the totem pole.
PS- To all the TooL fans, Maynard hates you kids, and for good reason you're all just as blind and as Hateful as the people he targeted in his music through out the earlier years.
supersajinjesus 1 year ago
really? i didnt know you spoke for maynard amazing how he cant speak for himself and you know every word he wants to say to us and how he feels. you truly are magical. fucking prick.
scienceatheism 1 year ago
@scienceatheism I do have magical powers at making nerds mad on the internet. Okay I'm going to try and summarize this information I've gathered over the years through interviews and what other little information I've established. Maynard has over the years grown more and more disenfranchised with his growing fan base, as TooL especially has become more and more mainstream. Originally writing and performing for smaller and what he had hoped to be an intellectual and artistic fan base.
supersajinjesus 1 year ago
i dont think i ever said you had magical powers. but uhh people have there own interpretation of tool songs and i agree with you 100 percent most kids just want to bang there head to something other then listening to the power of the music, to the lyrics, thats exactly why i stopped listening to rap and started listening to tool because rap lyrics are lets face it are STUPID. tool just makes your heart flutter..cont..
scienceatheism 1 year ago
..cont.. i love puscifer, i hate A Perfect Circle it was to mainstream for me reminded me to much of Trapt and no one wants to hear one of there musical heroes sound stupid and commercialized. but do not assume that all people who listen to tool is stupid, because assuming makes an ass out of you and me and we dont want that now do we?
scienceatheism 1 year ago
@scienceatheism @scienceatheism First off yeah you kinda did, second I said the vast majority (It's becoming apparent that you struggle with absorbing material beyond the surface level.) And my "assumptions" are pretty well backed just looking at the responses to this video, alone. Also in reference to your opinions on APC, I think Maynard says it best in hooker with a penis . Also I laughed pretty hard at the idea of you bunching all rap artists together.
supersajinjesus 1 year ago
@scienceatheism Nowadays; however it has become increasingly obvious that the tool fan base, has rather been over ridden by what call "fat kids" and Maynard terms "the kids who eat McDonalds". Which are pretty much uneducated hateful dipshits that fail to really look deep into the music and attempt to solve the puzzle's of self expansion that the band had pain stakingly, spent time producing.
supersajinjesus 1 year ago
@scienceatheism Now we just have unaware kids banging their heads to a guy screaming about things they don't know, they just want to hear Danny hit drums. If you want further evidence of Maynard’s feelings towards Tool's fan base just do a comparison between earlier stage presence of pre aenima performances and today's.
supersajinjesus 1 year ago
@scienceatheism . One thing I do find is that they still enjoy playing in Europe and I remember, Adam talking about the comparison between the more intellectual crowds in Europe and how they enjoy touring. If you want any sources on this (This refers to anyone reading this) Pm me and I can attempt to dredge them up.
supersajinjesus 1 year ago
@scienceatheism Cliffs: Band got popular, more stupid kids started listening, the band became more and more disheartened with the process of enjoying what they did. Now Maynard spends more time in the vineyards and on the mats practicing Brazilian jiu jitsu, and touring with other bands. IE Pucifer

@nonshalan Tell me then, who doesn't fall under the shit category? You've said Kelly does, (I don't know how you came to that conclusion but o well) you've said tool is who else is, or isn't, according to you? I'm just wondering...
