This young woman can sing anything. It is just so apparent in this video. Just listen to that voice. I don't think any other singer is so diversified as she.
The greatest singer on earth in my opinion. She combines musical intelligence, power, passion, range, fluidity, expression, the ability to get lost in the soul of a song, all to extraordinary levels. Just in another league. And a humble girl, she isn't up her own ass. Special girl, god bless her.
Just close your eyes and listen to this voice. Kelly is beautiful and amazing. She takes you away. One of the best, if not THE BEST, voice(s) on this planet!
I have taught music for many years and Clarkson is one of the best vocalists in the world today. She has Incredible range and control, an amazing spinto soprano. She is becoming a legend before our eyes and is becoming instrumental in changing the music industry for the better. It has been great to see her grow over the years. Keep singing Kelly!!!
The very first time I heard this song was when I was watching this when it first aired. It took my breath away. I played it for my sweet mom and it made her cry. I had no idea that 6 months later I would be listening to it at her funeral. I chose this song personally. Every time I hear it, I'm reminded of how much I miss and love my mom.....my heart breaks all over again.
What a great combo. I had wondered if Kelly Clarkson had heard of Jeff Beck before this, but from an article I came across, she was the one who asked him to join with her. We guitar players have definitely heard of Jeff Beck, but amongst non-guitarists, there are several that don't know who he is. The fact that Kelly Clarkson had heard of him and wanted to collaborate with him says something very highly about her. Also, look at that smile on her face. They clearly were overjoyed to collaborate together.
+Robin Rayfield I doubt she knew who Jeff was, and you can bet that Jeff had no idea who she was. They were available for this great charity show, and whomever teamed them up for this song should be commended for it, because it was brilliant!Jeff Beck is a true guitar God!I've seen him many times, and I've also seen Clapton, Page, May, Van Halen, Young, Blackmore, Zappa, Vai, Lifeson, Vaughan, King, Winter, ...... and I have to say that Jeff Beck can play any style at any time -he is amazing!
LEAFYANKEE65 Her managers and agents wanted her to perform her latest single to promote it. However, she refused and wanted to do something different. You can come to your own conclusions, but I'm not inclined to disbelieve an article just to disbelieve it. I don't think it's that extraordinary a claim that she suggested to have Jeff Beck perform with her. We're talking about a singer who did a wide variety of music on her Christmas album, wore a custom made Metallica t-shirt, and has shown herself to be comparatively humble.
+Robin Rayfield I don't watch Idol but I was at my son's house and his family were so I was astonished to see beck and clarkson together.definitely good for beck's career in as much as millions of younger people got to see him that probably otherwise wouldn't have.it was the highlight of the show.
I can't stop listening to this song. I loved it when it first came out and I've listened to it over the years and now I'm back again. It takes me to another level.
Everything about this performance, the way it's played, the way she sings it, the arrangement, the fact they wanted her to sing Never Again and she was like no....Seriously, she is just too awesome!
i remember the first time i saw this...i was watching idol gives back and then she started singing, and literally nothing else existed. the first time i heard this song, kelly clarkson was singing it, and even though i've heard a hundred covers no one has even come close to measuring up. i wish she would make records like adele that show her emotion and vocal range. i don't care what her record label says, my december was one of her best albums and a step i the right direction
This is one of those songs that just deserves a permanent loop. I really wish these two had recorded an actual studio performance. That would be awesome.
Kelly gives us chills without trying to do so on purpose. We get chills because we are moved, deeply touched her voice, and by the messages delivered through her voice. Kelly is able to move us, because she is moved by the song herself. With Kelly born and performing for us, I, too, understand the meaning of "Lord, you love me so ---."
This performance is so incredible, really almost too good for words. This is my favorite of Kelly's performances 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.
it's ALL about TONE..........Kelly has an "Elvis" level of richness to her voice that IMO makes her THE #1 BEST to listen to........SHE BLOWS EVERYTHING AWAY!!!
Love this cover version.I have listened to Patty's original rendition and I have to say it is very honest, raw and introspective. Kelly brought soul to this song and it goes to show how versatile she truly is as an artist.
No one as versatile as Kelly Clarkson. She can sing anything but not only that, she does it so freakin' well. She's is one of the greatest singers today.
Things prettier than this simply do not happen that often or at all. Every few days, sometimes a few times a day, I just have to come back to listen to Kelly sing and Jeff play (the guitar). Kelly adores Patty Griffin so very much and we thank her for having composed this great, great song.
This is one of those songs/performances that I can listen to loop and never get tired of it. Something pure and selfless about it - it doesn't feel like a "performance" at all. #lovethis
This voice is just a gift from God! I don't care about the key, note, or whatever...it's the emotion and passion that makes this amazing. Kelly's voice can interpret any song and make it her own.
I remember seeing Kree's performance and thinking... "No matter how good she sounds, she won't be the same as Kelly." Kelly's phenomenal. Seriously, the best.
i have seen this video probly 100 times and i am still moved nearly to tears. the lyrics of the song and the way Kelly delivers them speaks directly to my soul . masterful . Keep up the good work Ms. Clarkson
A very well deserved standing ovation. Outstanding performance. I can't stop watching this video. Awesome. One thing I really don't understand though... How can this video have only 275 thousand viewers? Seems unfair when you see "singers" like Miley and Britney get millions of viewers on their vids. Gotta love Kelly Clarkson. The best female singer of our time!
Clarkson asked the British guitar legend Jeff Beck to accompany her, and she showed not only stylistic growth, but a fresh confidence. "It was the depth of her voice that struck me," Beck says of her performance that night. "She's got this maturity, you know, this fully developed soul voice that I wasn't expecting. It just knocked me out. It was quite riveting to listen to. At one point, the audience started to stand up. They were so moved by her. She's got that quality that demands attention, which is rare. Spot on, Jeff. She is Unique.
Gawd I love this girl!! Her voice is just naturally so amazing and beautiful. She doesn't have to fake it or put on she is and always has been the real deal!!
I love this performance...I come back time and again to listen to it...I wish I could add it to my music in my phone or amazon unlimited would pick it up somehow...just amazing!
I haven't watched Kelly on American Idol Season 1.And I never listened to her music.But when I watched this performance,I already knew why she won...She's great!
i come here usually whenever i open youtube and every time i watch this perfromance i got chills like it's the very first time !!! there is no words to describe this wonderfull voice ... just amazing !!
when you make the queen of country cry you have to know you are a great great great singer !! whatch the kelly and reba version when kelly make reba cry . kelly is the best .
I'm from France !!!!! Here people don't really know her songs (but Because of You and Since You've Been Gone), I don't know why... ?? Hope she's going to gain more french fans with her new record !
My favorite performance from my FAVORITE American Idol...she makes me cry with this performance...her voice is a gift!!...She can SANG any genre!!!...But this performance was just SOULFUL!!
i've heard many people singing this same song but not as kelly,she not only sings but she feels the songs....and thats why i love her,there is not many people as her.
Wow! I still get chills whenever I hear this. I agree that Kelly Clarkson is the best thing to come out of American Idol. I'd like to see her do entire albums with this type of song in them.
This song with them together brings me to tears every time unlike most songs. I LOVE this song. It shows her amazing voice without all the extra noise (Beck not included). His guitar works beautifully together with her voice. Ultra chills. Love from Burleson, Tx. Please put it back on ITUNES!!!!
Kelly recently visited Paris and said that she'd be happy to give concerts in France. So maybe that would help increase her popularity there. Kelly is very adorable, I am sure the French people will love her!
She sang that soooooooooooooo good it was effortless not forced and she sang it wit poise another great artist singing cover of a song and it was beautiful the dislikes what's not to like about tha way she sung this song nothin at all if you ask me
This song is absolutely phenominal. Kelly's voice really helps relay the message of the song in a way few people could. This song touches me so deeply & reminds me of a place in the mountains I hold special to my heart. Nothing I could say could do this performance justice. Just Beautiful.
Everytime I hear this,it's like I can't breathe,she just amazes me,touches me so deep inside...There are so many good artists and singers outthere,but I never heard someone singing with a passion and these raw emotions like Kelly does..She's unique...
Without a doubt one of THE MOST amazing brilliant vocal performances of all time. I get goosebumps everytime I here it. And the guitar- oh God, that was equally as amazing.
I never get tired of this song. I bought the Patty Griffin album because of it and absolutely love the songs on there. Kelly does this song complete and total justice. Both versions are awesome.
I loved the way she sang this song on her show in 2021. Kelly included Martin Luther King in it. Kelly is so amazing and talented. She is so humble too.
Love the fact that she stood there for the whole song with no dancing . no stage show, and no special effects . Just SINGING !! shows you what an amazimg singer she is . thats what a true SINGER is all about ,, LOVE U KELLY :***
She's one of the best singer ever. She can do everythinh with her voice. This is the proof. It's so different from her new single. She's incredible. If everyone popstar could sing like her , I would listen to everything.
AMEN! She's a beautiful person and her talent is undeniable. People need to get past the superficial stuff and just learn to appreciate and enjoy her music. Rock on Kelly!
Can anyone honestly say that they do not like Kelly Clarkson, especially after watching this?? This is the Kelly I love, stripped down, emotional, meaningful.. This is why she is, and will always be my idol!!
Kelly voice is amazing!! She has demonstrated time and again her versatility to cross genres of music. My desire is for her to record an album full of material that best reflects her versatility to include Up to the Mountain. Her talent remind me a lot of Eva Cassidy, who was another artist capable of performing all genres. Great job, Kelly!
thumbs up if you think Kelly Clarkson has one of the best female voices?
One of my favorite performances EVER by ANY artist! This is GOLD
This young woman can sing anything. It is just so apparent in this video. Just listen to that voice. I don't think any other singer is so diversified as she.
Still injecting this in my veins 2019
SAME
And 2022
This is why she is the original Idol and forever always be the best Idol. :)
The greatest singer on earth in my opinion. She combines musical intelligence, power, passion, range, fluidity, expression, the ability to get lost in the soul of a song, all to extraordinary levels. Just in another league. And a humble girl, she isn't up her own ass. Special girl, god bless her.
Just close your eyes and listen to this voice. Kelly is beautiful and amazing. She takes you away. One of the best, if not THE BEST, voice(s) on this planet!
I AGREE!!!
she has probably got the best voice in last 20 years of music. AMAZING GIFT.
Still does!
One of the best live performances EVER on tv, literal vocal master class , so emotional, pure 🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️ 💫
I have taught music for many years and Clarkson is one of the best vocalists in the world today. She has Incredible range and control, an amazing spinto soprano. She is becoming a legend before our eyes and is becoming instrumental in changing the music industry for the better. It has been great to see her grow over the years. Keep singing Kelly!!!
Everytime I listen to this song, I get goosebumps and she moves me near to tears-- everytime!!!
20 people that dislikes this performance obviously dont know what SOUL is...Kelly makes me cry when I watch this
Coming back to listen after so many years...still gets goosebumps...always amazing
She is so underrated. This is one of her best performances IMO. Even her fans don't really know about this performance.
The very first time I heard this song was when I was watching this when it first aired. It took my breath away. I played it for my sweet mom and it made her cry. I had no idea that 6 months later I would be listening to it at her funeral. I chose this song personally.

I don't watch Idol but I was at my son's house and his family were so I was astonished to see beck and
clarkson together.definitely good for beck's career in as much as millions of younger people got to see him that probably otherwise wouldn't have.it was the highlight of the show.
People who haven't heard of Jeff Beck? Really? Not a guituiar player but I love good music and anybody who loves music knows who Jeff Beck is
@@LEAFYANKEE65 that's a huge assumption?
I can't stop listening to this song. I loved it when it first came out and I've listened to it over the years and now I'm back again. It takes me to another level.

+baronvg Or done an entire album together.
@Abhra SRoy have they? May I have the link?

it's ALL about TONE..........Kelly has an "Elvis" level of richness to her voice that IMO makes her THE #1 BEST to listen to........SHE BLOWS EVERYTHING AWAY!!!
this video needs a million views... millions need to see the greatness that is kelly clarkson
Is there anything that this girl can't sing?
What a talent!
What a gift!
Thanks for posting...
Love this cover version.I have listened to Patty's original rendition and I have to say it is very honest, raw and introspective. Kelly brought soul to this song and it goes to show how versatile she truly is as an artist.
One of the greatest live performances of this generation and not even close to a million views.....
She definitely took us up to the mountain!
It's 2015 folks and still having a goosebump when I heard her voice singing this song.
I love how they're so humbled by the standing ovation.
Kelly's performance brings me to tears every time I hear this!
Anyone not moved by this divinely beautiful performance by Kelly, that someone cannot be moved at all.
No one as versatile as Kelly Clarkson. She can sing anything but not only that, she does it so freakin' well. She's is one of the greatest singers today.

chills EVERYTIME. she blows crystal out of the waterrrrrrr with this song it's ridiculous. kelly is and forever will be the best American Idol.

2024. This is perfection. Kelly has one of the best vocals in the music industry
Ive loved Kelly since her first audition on Idol, and I love her more ALL the time!!!
Kelly Clarkson is just too amazing. So proud to be a fan, love her.
Up To The Mountain by just about anyone is an amazing song to perform. But Kelly Clarkson/Jeff Beck nailed it!
I remember FREAKING OUT over these vocals that night 🔥🔥❤
I remember seeing Kree's performance and thinking... "No matter how good she sounds, she won't be the same as Kelly."
Kelly's phenomenal. Seriously, the best.
i have seen this video probly 100 times and i am still moved nearly to tears. the lyrics of the song and the way Kelly delivers them speaks directly to my soul . masterful . Keep up the good work Ms. Clarkson

Spot on, Jeff. She is Unique.
i listen to this everyday - we are only weak humans but it is w God's grace that we can do anything...
I am feeling so low today, but Kelly, your voice, especially in this song, has comforted me.
On this July 4th long weekend, listening to Kelly sing this song makes one feel espeically good and inspired.
Gawd I love this girl!! Her voice is just naturally so amazing and beautiful. She doesn't have to fake it or put on she is and always has been the real deal!!
What can be said about this? It's one of the most magnificent things ever captured on audio. Goosebumps every time.
I love this performance...I come back time and again to listen to it...I wish I could add it to my music in my phone or amazon unlimited would pick it up somehow...just amazing!
I am in love with Kelly Clarkson. She is one of the greatest singers of ALL TIME!
You have to be mental to dislike this. The voice, the passion, the girl..She's simply BRILLIANT.
I haven't watched Kelly on American Idol Season 1.And I never listened to her music.But when I watched this performance,I already knew why she won...She's great!

Wow! I still get chills whenever I hear this. I agree that Kelly Clarkson is the best thing to come out of American Idol. I'd like to see her do entire albums with this type of song in them.
This is just so beautiful. What a voice and so talented. Jeff is so great and the 2 of these artists performing this song was awesome!!!!
The highest level of singing art!

Masterclass in vocals.
This is my favorite performance from Kelly. I listen to this song at least once a week, since she sang it on Idol gives back,
Everytime I hear this,it's like I can't breathe,she just amazes me,touches me so deep inside...There are so many good artists and singers outthere,but I never heard someone singing with a passion and these raw emotions like Kelly does..She's unique...
To me, this is by far her best performance on tv yet.wow.
So much PASSION and SOUL to her performance...she's incredible.
Oh how i love this song. Thank you Kelly Vickie
Without a doubt one of THE MOST amazing brilliant vocal performances of all time. I get goosebumps everytime I here it. And the guitar- oh God, that was equally as amazing.
oh my god that was beautiful i could listen to kelly sing songs like that for hours on end
I never get tired of this song. I bought the Patty Griffin album because of it and absolutely love the songs on there. Kelly does this song complete and total justice. Both versions are awesome.
I loved the way she sang this song on her show in 2021. Kelly included Martin Luther King in it. Kelly is so amazing and talented. She is so humble too.
Patty Griffin wrote this song as a tribute to MLK. She is also Kelly Clarkson’s favorite singer songwriter.
i get chills in every performance kelly gives!
wow... im speechless
her singing just blew everyting in my brain away.
it's certain that she can sing better than anyone on the earth.
kelly kelly kelly! just pure heaven!! i love this cover soo much!

this is my favorite performance out of all 10 years of american idol.
This is the most sonically gorgeous thing to ever reach my ears....
she always makes me feel better. love her.
She's one of the best singer ever. She can do everythinh with her voice. This is the proof. It's so different from her new single. She's incredible. If everyone popstar could sing like her , I would listen to everything.
kelly's rendition makes me cry everytime. pure emotion and power.
AMEN! She's a beautiful person and her talent is undeniable. People need to get past the superficial stuff and just learn to appreciate and enjoy her music. Rock on Kelly!
this song tears me up! Perfect performance by Kelly, and w/ Jeff Beck, couldn't be more perfect.
Can anyone honestly say that they do not like Kelly Clarkson, especially after watching this??
This is the Kelly I love, stripped down, emotional, meaningful.. This is why she is, and will always be my idol!!
Kelly voice is amazing!! She has demonstrated time and again her versatility to cross genres of music. My desire is for her to record an album full of material that best reflects her versatility to include Up to the Mountain.
