I can't think of any other pop singer who can as good as Kelly Clarkson can! She is my ONLY favorite pop singer! I ONLY listen to country music.. With the exception of Kelly! She's a hit!!!! :D

Crystal's version is much better than Kelly's. People can bastardize me all the want, but Kelly lacks the soul, the emotion, the conviction of Crystal's. Her phrasing, her vocal choices, her runs don't feel organic. It's like, "I'm going to hit these notes now and you better watch me. Sorry, Crystal's overall a better singer.
@jsteezie420 lmao crystals version is ok but its not amazing like kellys,kelly is on a whole nother level,so please dont compare a amature to a international superstar who can outsing krystal easily,k thanks :)
@jsteezie420 I'm a fan of Crystal too, but I think Kelly gave the song the soul that it needs. No need to trash another version just to show who's the better artist. Enjoy it for what it is.
Kelly is very talented singer, but her version of this song is too "churchy" for me. I still like Cystal's acoustic version better - rawer, rougher and gave me chill...I didn't say I "think" Cystal's version is better, because everyone has different taste.

Such a phoney voice...she 'acts' at singing gospely...like just about everyone else who came out of the 'X Factor'. So formulaic and dull. Sorry , but that's what I feel.
Fuck you, you don't know what true music is, if it hit you in the face. She doesn't 'act', she interprets the song according to her own beliefs and worldviews. Her voice is real, and not phoney at all.
guys we have to show Kelly how much we love her and her Dorkalicious, and show that we support her new album "All I Ever Wanted", aaand that she can see that she has way more fans than she actually think she has, so go subscribe her ! her account is: kellyclarkson !
For me, Kelly is at her best singing Up To The Mountain (along with Natural Woman from Idol and Because of You at the Grammys). Kelly needs to record an album with material like this! Imagine an organic, emotive album exploring gospel, blues, R&B, and country. Who is with me on this? We need to petition Kelly sooner than later. She would win awards along with a whole new fan base while expanding the musical taste of her already devoted fans.
@jareddoubleyou Absolutely agree with what you said. She is truly at her best (IMO) when singing this song and I would love to hear a gospel, blues, R&B, and country based album from her. I on the other hand am not a fan of the pop stuff. But know this girl has got some serious cords.
Interesting, because Kelly herself has stated that SHE believes that Patty Griffin is the best songwriter/singer alive on the planet today. That came from KELLY! She said, "she has a voice that can just make you cry, in a good way." So listen miss snit, get off your high horse. If Kelly can see the incredible talent in Patty, why can't you?
people like diffrent singers, its ok. i dont like pattys version and i like kellys, so why dont you get off your HIGH HORSE and look at people as indivduals and not think they all think the way you do.
Patty Griffin wrote such a beautiful song but it doesn't mean that Kelly couldn't do it justice. I look at this as a great match up. Great lyrics and a great vocalist.
And on another note, I'm glad to see such a respectful audience.
i really don't get why people compare artists. Kelly Clarkson is an ARTIST as well as a GREAT SINGER.. she has her own style of singing the song and Patty has her own too.. end of discussion.
ive heard patties version and while it is really amazing, i perfer kellys. i like kellys tone and soulful take on it better, but that is just an opinion of course. not everyone has to like patties version more.
at the end of the year, the 2 rumored dates are November 18th and December 2nd. and her first single could leak any day now so keep your eyes open people!
Yup i knew that! thanks anyways though haha. i check the express religiously haha. i posted the november date back in september when thats what we all though hahaha.
kelly loves some patty she rocks and so does kc yes i saw this beautful song live in cardiff and manchester uk twice both sung beautiful and of course kc needs to put this on her next cd wih permison from patty that is ok good stuff as always kc u rock
I never really thought of that... that actually would be amazing if she would put a recorded version of this song on her next album. I would love that! :D
I was looking to see if someone was going to say something about it. He actually just ate it at 2:07 Seriously bad stuff. I have felt for a very long time that Kelly deserved much better musicians around her and I have stratched my head many times as to why she doesn't go after at the very least, a better lead guitarist. You are right. After hearing her with Jeff Beck, it is really difficult to listen to this guitarist. Her guitarist almost sounds like an amateur at times. Very strange choice.
wow the audience there are very quiet!!! i went absolutely crazy when she sang this at the concert i went to about a week before this!!! of course kelly clarkson is excellent AGAIN!!!
Loving the runs 3:12 till the end. She's sang this song to my knowledge in 3 different occasions and all 3 are slightly different renditions... She never gets boring. Shes so talented its ridiculous.
I can't think of any other pop singer who can as good as Kelly Clarkson can! She is my ONLY favorite pop singer! I ONLY listen to country music.. With the exception of Kelly! She's a hit!!!! :D
