I loved watching someone who knew nothing about Kelly discover her talent in real time. To answer your questions 1. She IS a genre. 2. Yes. Yes she can in fact sing anything. 3. She is the first American Idol and the only thing America has ever agreed on.
Kelly was the first American Idol. In the 21 years since she’s won she has become the only artist to have a #1 song on the pop, country, holiday, adult contemporary, and all genre charts. She has multiple Grammys along with many other industry awards. Her talk show started 4 years ago, and she’s won 5 Emmys (so far) and she does a Kellyoke every show, which she learns literally right before performing, and can sing pretty much any genre. She’s been doing Kellyokes on tour for over 15 years, and a fan in attendance at each show requests it and she learns it day of in soundcheck. She’s one of the greatest vocalists of her (and really any) generation and gets so little credit for it. The Kellyokes have really opened up a lot of people’s eyes in recent years though!
Yesssss! Agree.. She's amazing. This best of the best! Her new album is the best I've heard of any artist in a longgg time. Every song is amazing. Her vocals and bridges are next level!
I could agree with you more. I could listen to her 24/7. A lot of the songs she sung that I didn't like by original artist I live by her. She is truly remarkable ❤
Thanks. Over 100 Billboard 100 chart #1. 35 million albums and 2.8 billion digital streams. Cant wait for more. She has done almost 600 covers on her show.
The beauty of Kelly, is she makes a song her own, by enthusing them with her personality and emotions. she is truly incredible, and yet despite her talent, she is still the down to earth girl who walked into that audition over 20 years ago.
Kelly Clarkson is the first American idol and there's a reason why she's still going strong, she literally can sign anything. You should check out her singing happier than ever live at her vegas residency. On 3 hours of sleep she slayed it.
Please, please, please do more of Kelly! I can’t get enough of her voice! Doesn’t really matter what you cover. She can sing anything! In case you don’t know, her Kellyoke performances on her show are only rehearsed one time with her band right before her daily show. In addition to her Kellyoke, Two personal notes, she’s an amazing writer of many of her own songs. Also, apparently not only according to her fans, but other celebrities and people in the business, she is one of the nicest and most down to earth and humble people as well.
Kelly is one of those artists who has an amazing voice and produces consistently good music. She has a great reputation, everyone loves her, she's always solid in her delivery, and yet she still flies under the radar even after twenty years. She's a singer for whom the hype is both real and yet somehow never enough. Sincere thanks for reacting to her. I wish more people did, because they're missing out.
Johnny, Kelly is a vocal beast. She has amazing catalog of hits. She is an American Idol alum. During American Idol she blew the roof of with Mariah Careys Without You.
She is THE American Idol! Simon Cowell told her that w/o her, he wouldn't be here today lol. She's the reason for all the singing competitions that have followed.
I cannot think of a more impressive performance by her than her live version of Whole Lotta Woman at the Billboard Music Awards. It is flawless and jaw-dropping!
You're me about 10 years ago, when I first discovered Kelly. I had heard of her in passing, but I didn't really know that she was THAT good. Like you, I did a deep dive and have decided that she really has to be one of the best vocalist of all time. She can literally sing any genre. All of her Kellyokes are good, but they're all short. She learns them only a few minutes before singing them. Her own catalog, going back 20 years, is also quite impressive. However, I'm beginning to believe that her voice is even better today than it was early in her career and the music she put out recently is truly some of her best work. I look forward to watching more of your reactions to Kelly!
You definitely would've heard her songs...they're pretty popular. Especially the older hit songs like Because Of You, Behind These Hazel Eyes, Stronger etc. They were all over the radio! Plus Underneath The Tree is played every christmas - probably one of the most popular new modern christmas songs (and she wrote it). The deep cuts are on another level though, they really rip your heart out
Kelly also is a song writer extraordinaire. I believe she wrote almost all the songs on her newest Album- chemistry! Check it out…it’s so amazingly heartfelt about love found and love lost. The track “Lighthouse” shines with emotion. It shows how her voice excels in all genres of music.
@@bridgethegapreactionsWhere have you been? Happy you finally discover Kelly. She is an incredible talent and has the versatility to sing any genre. Her voice is even better now than 21 years ago when she won American Idol. Love your reactions, BTW.
Kelly Clarkson; making grown men cry since 2002. I just love this reaction. Your face when you slightly smirk and smile, showing a tiny bit of disbelief and approval at the same time. That is what I probably look like when I watch these performances. I love the 'bloody hell' remark, it is exacly what I was thinking when I saw that that high belted part for the 2nd and 3rd time. She is probably one of the best pop / soul voices on the planet for quite some time. She can litterally sing anything and nearly everything comes out great, often better than the original. To use an analogy: When most people sing, they are like a minivan or a medium sized family car, when Kelly sings, especially when she gives a little bit of gas, she is a fucking lamborghini.
Your reactions are really enjoyable-she’s amazing, and addictive. Keep it going. Fun fact, these Kellyoke performances she learns right before she sings them, sometimes not even rehearsing. You are just beginning to see her range. The thing you will enjoy so much is just how much she loves music and musicians. Her joy-like yours-is palpable. Watch her do a duet and the generosity and admiration she shows. Can’t wait until your next. And her own stuff is shockingly good.
Kelly is a proud Texan so she still has a Texas twang. Her twang is more pronounced when speaking but she was classically trained in opera and musical theater. She truly can sing anything. New subscriber from Ohio, USA. Loved your reaction style. Straight and to the point always wins for me. Will be watching for more reactions. Thanks for sharing your time and thoughts. Peace ✌
You're in for some great videos...truly one of the best music reaction channels out there with probably the best commentary and appreciation for lyrics, musicality and raw talent. Glad you discovered him!
It's really great when someone actually takes the time to react to kelly clarkson. She is the very first American idol and has consistently got better. Her kellyokes the audience in her talk show request the song and she performs it live that day.
I had never really paid much attention to KC, and I cynically rolled my eyes when she started her talk show few years ago. But I was happy to be proven wrong...she's a genuine and enthusiastic host. And as you stated, when it could easily be kind of embarrassing or cringey, the Kellyoke segments are always amazing! You never know what she'll do next but you know it'll be impressive. Again, I think it goes back to her genuine and enthusiastic nature....she loves music and it shows. Also, she's a proud Texas girl who doesn't try to mask her accent, so that's probably where some of the hints of country come in.
kelly clarkson is the best vocalist of out generation. she is unmatched. would love to see more of these. is nice seeing some one discover her talent. Meaning of life and Chemistry really showcase her talent but you cant go wrong with anything she does
Im so glad you are doing Kelly now. to me she is one of the few young artists today that can actually sing!! A true vocalist in my opinion. BTW she is an autoproclamated Whitney hard fan, so she has many Whitney Kellyokes and she was invited to honor Dolly Parton recently in a tribute and she singed I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU and even though she did the Whitney version, she NAILED IT!! More Kelly!!!
She did an amazing slowed cover of “the one that got away”. Her new album just came out. If you want to hear her voice more check out the live at the belasco performances!
She's one of the biggest pop stars and is known for having legit one of the best voices on the planet! Her vocal range is insane! You have to check out 7 Nation Army & Creep (Live). Also the Kellyoke full album version (not just the show version) of Happier Than Ever by Billie Eillish and Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead. In fact you may as well do them all, there isn't a bad one lol
Such a damn pleasure to see a music fan introduced to THE Kelly Clarkson ....so glad that you appreciate the greatness haha ...there are SOOO many more amazing performances to enjoy man. Would love to see more reactions :)
I believe Kelly also trained in opera when she was younger. She can sing any genre, any style. And she is a brilliant songwriter. She has absolutely been gifted by God! ~Cathy
She seriously can sing absolutely anything! She is so unbelievably talented! I wish more people would listen beyond what they know of her hits and Idol and just listen to what she can really do!!
Kelly isn’t confined to the box of a single genre & I love that about her! She is one of the best vocalists of our time & just in general. Her new album Chemistry is amazing & worth a listen. A few other specific suggestions: Sober (live from her recent Vegas residency), Meaning of Life (live Nashville Sessions), It’s Quiet Uptown (live at the Honda stage), Happier Than Ever (live from her recent Vegas residency), Mine (live stripped back version) & Merry Christmas To The One I Used To Know (live from Christmas special). Those are some of my favorite performances of hers & definitely some good ones to start down the rabbit hole with. She can literally sing anything!
If you wonder if Kelly can sing any genre or can cover any artist, watch “I Never Loved A Man” From a tribute to Aretha Franklin. Her tribute to Garth Brooks “The Dance” or tribute to Dolly Parton with “I Will Always Love You” goes to show how much confidence in her ability those in the business are to ask her to perform at the awards for these legends. I used to think she was pretty good in her younger years, but man, she is definitely at the top now.
I think what we’re seeing in her being on top of her game might also be because she’s comfortable in her own skin and she’s in a place now where she’s the boss of her own music and herself. It’s so beautiful to see and hear
I now know all the words to songs I have listened to for years. She sings so that you hear all the words so clearly ❤. Love this, please do more on Kelly
You should check out Kelly singing I will always love you tribute to Dolly Parton at the ACM awards. It’s a beautiful rendition with a mix of Dolly’s and Whitney’s versions
Thank you so much for this awesome reaction! Kelly is absolutely amazing, she can sing ANYTHING! It’s so wonderful to see new people discover her talent. Please please please do more Kelly reactions! Subscribing!
If you want to hear more of her country style check out her tribute to Garth Brooks, singing The Dance. Country is not really my thing but I can't watch that without tearing up, its beautiful.
For further reactions, there are some great kellyokes like happier than ever, leave the door open, she used to be mine, heavy in your arms, I could go on forever😂 but there is also her live performance of I will always love you, her billboards performances, her latest Vegas live performances for her new album..
I love that you were finally introduced to Kelly’s talent. She’s amazing live. She’s also an incredible person. Check out her new album Chemistry - the vocals are perfection . Plus her band is incredible. Enjoy!
You will get a slewwwww of fans if you keep up the kelly reactions. Look at others who start reacting to her, the fan base wth find your videos! Great reaction
Thanks! I wasn't expecting too many views on this really - I didn't know if she was still actively making music or anything about her really. What a nice surprise- thanks Kelly fans!
I think one thing that makes her able to sing across so many different genres is the fact that she was classically trained in opera. She’s been able to take the foundation of great technique and not only apply it across the spectrum of music, but also keep her voice healthy over all these years.
Also, some of the Kellyoke performances from within just the last couple of months have been some of the best she’s ever done. So I highly recommend pretty much any of those. Her voice just keeps getting better.
This is my third comment but I adore this video so much. As a fan for 21 years, this makes my heart happy. You have just begun!! There is endless content. She's a wonderful song writer too. You are going to have a great time. Maybe for something fun, you can review her Halloween Kellyokes for the end of the month! Seriously cannot go wrong!
You’re in for a treat if you’re just starting your kellyoke journey ! Here are some of my favs : seven army nation, ring my bell, meaning of life (the live version), her kellyoke of her own song the trouble with love is
You would love her Aretha Franklin tribute singing Aretha’s 1st ever hit and Whole lotta Woman her own single!! She truly is a phenomenal artist and my personal favorite!!
She has several great albums, and her newest came out June of this year. There's not a bad song on it, but one of my favorites is lighthouse. She has also done extraordinary performances on a few different award shows including The Billboard Music Awards 2018 and 2019. Also, 8 months ago she performed with Pink and Pat Benatar..iheart radio, and the list goes on.
Yaaayy! So excited that you’re getting into Kelly! One of the best kellyoke’s is Happier than Ever! Also, good live performance - Piece by Piece, American Idol Final season, first run. I know you love vocals that aren’t always perfect, but emotive. This one’s amazing. Beautiful Disaster (live) is great!! Love So Soft and It’s Quiet Uptown are also amazing songs, 2 different genres - both amazing!
Thanks Brian! A few requests for Piece By Piece - I'll react to that one next. Although I feel that I really could just listen to her do 2 minute covers of other people's songs all day long
When you do Piece by Piece, listen to the idol version first. She wrote that song while she was pregnant. Then follow it up with this version from this summer: th-cam.com/video/qZFa3SFaTUQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=I_NWLzgjNzKds383. It was her first time singing the song post-divorce and she changed the lyrics an hour before the show. Both are so powerful for the moments she was in.
I’m so glad you’ve “discovered” Kelly and her powerhouse voice. The Kellyokes are a great introduction, but hopefully you’ll check out some of her original music too. Songs like “Breakaway,” “Behind These Hazel Eyes,” “Because of You,” “My Life Would Suck Without You” and “Stronger” are early 2000s classics (along with the aforementioned “Since U Been Gone”). Her recent music may not be as buzzy as her earlier hits, but they showcase a maturity and artistry that may have been lacking a bit when she was just starting out. I’d also recommend checking out her viral “Piece by Piece” performance (I challenge you not to be moved by it!), her cover of “It’s Quiet Uptown” from “Hamilton,” and her current single “lighthouse.” Hope to see more Kelly on your channel!
i love that you are getting into Kelly! Her along with Pink (who I also suggest you react to) are 2 of the most under rated singers ever! Please react to Kelly singing Piece By Piece on American Idol. She was the original winner but this was her coming back in a later season after she was famous
Her voice is great! She did a good version of The One That Got Away, a faithful cover of Love Takes Time, she also did a new rendition of 9 to 5 (as a duet with Dolly Parton), but to be honest, her voice is not only powerful but also very versatile, so she can sing practically anything and the result will be great.
Kelly is easily one of the best singers working today. She’s absolutely incredible. Her backup singer, arranger & vocal director Jessi Collins is also amazing. Their voices are so similar and they’re so in sync that it adds tremendously to these performances. But yeah, Kelly can literally sing anything and she keeps getting better. She works with a coach and refines her technique constantly. She & Pink are quite similar in terms of range, power, stamina and they sound amazing together as well. Glad you discovered Kelly and Kellyoke! There are so many incredible live performances by her out there
I'm so glad that you have started your journey with Kelly Clarkson. She has a lot more crazy performances in different genres. Jazz, Country, Pop, Rock, you name it, she does justice to the songs! Yes, she fits very well on Country, strange she hasn't done a country album. She has some hits in that genre thou like Kelly’s song “Because of You” with Reba McEntire and “Don’t you wanna stay” with Jason Aldean. I will be here for your next reactions to Kellyokes!
I'm such a Kelly Clarkson fan so excuse me if I ramble but you asked for it. (Kinda...Lol) Kelly actually studied classical music and performed 'Ave Maria' for the Pope in '08. She has sold over 25 million albums, 45 million singles, has won 3 MTV Awards, 3 Grammy Awards, 4 American Music Awards, 2 Academy of Country Music Awards, 5 Daytime Emmy Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Other than that she hasn't been doing much. 😊
Kelly can sing the phonebook!!! More Kelly please! Behind these hazel eyes, Because of you, What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and her live performance of Piece by piece at the American idol farewell season. You won't be disappointed 👌👌👌
So many amazing vocal performances over the past 20+ years. I know you wont VH1 abt 13 yrs ago, Meaning of life Nashville Sessions 6 years or recently her Chemistry album is brilliant. Thanks look forward to more. Again Kelly's Mic is always on. A rarity these days.
Oh wow… welcome to the beautiful sounds of Kelly Clarkson!!! One of the most amazingly versatile and emotive singers of this era! Two of her best performances, that I’ve seen that showcase her versatility, have got to be her acoustic version of the song, “It’s Quiet Uptown”, from the broadway show, “Hamilton”, and her live performance on the Aretha Franklin Tribute show, of Aretha’s “Never Loved A Man”. I would love to see you react to those two performances! Thank you and keep up the great videos! ❤
Kelly has one of the best voices of the past 20 years. Her songs are mostly pop/rock. She does powerful ballads like Because of You and more up-tempo ones like Since U Been Gone. Another vote for Piece By Piece live on American Idol finale (before they brought back the show on another network a few years later). It's a much better stripped down and emotional version of the single and deals with heartbreak of her dad and learning to cope later in life.
Kelly Clarkson was the first American Idol, has hits immediately and is the most successful artistically and in the industry (yes, Carrie nuderwood made the most money, but Kelly's rich now, too). She does pop-rock at the core, but she brings herself to classics, Christmas, she has country hits, too. She's Was a judge on the Voice US for quite a few years, but not currently. She just moved to NY with her talk show. Everybody loves her.
itd be hard to find a better & more versatile & consistent live singer than kelly clarkson in pop music. she really is one of the finest we have. i really love watching ur reactions as well. the way u reacted approvingly to every runs every belts … warmth to my heart 😂 kelly can sing anything. she sings from her gut. that old school open throat sanging!!!
Kelly is sooo gifted. She can sing anything and it will be really good. I love this girl for her voice, charisma and personality. I wish her all the best. Thanks for this reaction. Kisses from Poland ❤
You must hear her on Billie Eilish's song "Happier Than Ever." These songs she is killing, as she does with anything she sings, but "Happier Than Ever" will knock your socks off. She IS the best songstress in the business today. She can sing anything in any genre.
Kelly is one of the best voices ever and maybe the best singer, due to her love for music, for being able to sing pretty much anything and everything, not just with her voice but also with the feeling needed.
For a mind-blowing performance that will give you chills, please react to “Meaning of Life “, the Nashville Sessions. I recently became a subscriber and very much enjoy your reactions. Please more George Michael (“Spinning the Wheel”, “Older”, “Cowboys and Angels”, “You Know That I Want To” . . . )
Delve into Ms Clarkson mate.. best vocalist of our generation. Go from American Idol upwards.. no faults or mishaps.. just pure vocal TALENT 🤌 One day people will wake up and realise 🙌
I cant believe that he didn't know How Fantastic this Woman is! I put her in a Catagory with Cher, Barbra, and Celine!! I can listen to her all the time!!
Remember watching her Idols audition, and if I remember correctly they said she was opera-trained. Anyway, in my opinion Kelly and Pink are 2 of the best voices in music and they can sing the living daylights out of any song...and you can find them on TH-cam singing together
This was so refreshing seeing someone fall in love with Kelly Clarkson before my eyes! I too didn't really follow her career but I think around the time she started coaching on the voice I did a deep dive. She's the queen of the belt!
A Kelly Clarkson you tube rabbit hole is addictive. She's phenomenal as an artist, person and mother. Listen to Meaning of Life Nashville Sessions, this is probably one of ger best original songs ever
I loved watching someone who knew nothing about Kelly discover her talent in real time. To answer your questions 1. She IS a genre. 2. Yes. Yes she can in fact sing anything. 3. She is the first American Idol and the only thing America has ever agreed on.
Very well said. Agree, agree, agree.
Ditto! #correct
Only thing America has agreed on lmao.. So sad yet so true
I am one of them … she is wow
GREAT ANSWER! I want to add…..she stays REAL to who she is and where she came from…..
Side note: The members of Abba loved Kelly's rendition.
As a singer and vocal coach, there is NO BETTER SINGER than Kelly CLARKSON. She HAS NO GENRE! She is ALL!

Well stated!
I could agree with you more. I could listen to her 24/7. A lot of the songs she sung that I didn't like by original artist I live by her. She is truly remarkable ❤
Kelly's vocal ability is off the chain. 21+ years and she sounds even better. So many amazing live performances. Her "Mic is always on"
Thanks. Over 100 Billboard 100 chart #1. 35 million albums and 2.8 billion digital streams. Cant wait for more. She has done almost 600 covers on her show.
I love this comment, her mic is always on! 21 years in the industry and never lip synched, what an achievement!
Kelly is the first American idol and has a long list of hits over past 20 plus years. Best singer of our generation

Her voice is so great! The Chemistry and Meaning of Life albums really show her vocals and her writing off.
Nashville Sessions version of her singing Meaning of Life is my favorite version of the song.
First Kelly Clarkson reaction? OMFG! She is AMAZING!!! She can sing any genre and any song, and completely make it her own!!
Kelly is my favorite female vocalist! She’s so versatile, and her voice is strong and amazing!
Kelly Clarkson is the first American idol and there's a reason why she's still going strong, she literally can sign anything. You should check out her singing happier than ever live at her vegas residency. On 3 hours of sleep she slayed it.

Kelly is up there with Mariah and Whitney. Her voice is absolutely a gift.
Come on now. Not Whitney and I love Kelly very much. Whitney had a rare flexibility/elasticity, clarity and power that is unmatched to this day.
@@ralstonhaley3161Whitney and Mariah voices never lasted though
So in The long run shes better
@@ralstonhaley3161 Yeah, she is every bit as good a Whitney Houston and, I'd argue, more versatile.
@@Mcfads999Doesn’t make her better and I love Kelly.
@@QuicknStraightYou don’t know much about singing. It’s called recency bias.
Kellyoke just shows that Kelly can sing just about anything and make it sound great
Such a damn pleasure to see a music fan introduced to THE Kelly Clarkson ....so glad that you appreciate the greatness haha ...there are SOOO many more amazing performances to enjoy man. Would love to see more reactions :)
I believe Kelly also trained in opera when she was younger. She can sing any genre, any style. And she is a brilliant songwriter. She has absolutely been gifted by God! ~Cathy
She seriously can sing absolutely anything! She is so unbelievably talented! I wish more people would listen beyond what they know of her hits and Idol and just listen to what she can really do!!
man! You can do every week and I won't even complain! kelly is truly a gem
Kelly isn’t confined to the box of a single genre & I love that about her! She is one of the best vocalists of our time & just in general. Her new album Chemistry is amazing & worth a listen. A few other specific suggestions: Sober (live from her recent Vegas residency), Meaning of Life (live Nashville Sessions), It’s Quiet Uptown (live at the Honda stage), Happier Than Ever (live from her recent Vegas residency), Mine (live stripped back version) & Merry Christmas To The One I Used To Know (live from Christmas special). Those are some of my favorite performances of hers & definitely some good ones to start down the rabbit hole with. She can literally sing anything!
If you wonder if Kelly can sing any genre or can cover any artist, watch “I Never Loved A Man” From a tribute to Aretha Franklin. Her tribute to Garth Brooks “The Dance” or tribute to Dolly Parton with “I Will Always Love You” goes to show how much confidence in her ability those in the business are to ask her to perform at the awards for these legends. I used to think she was pretty good in her younger years, but man, she is definitely at the top now.
❤❤❤❤❤agree 100%
Check out the opening performance at the billboard music awards. she does it all 2 years in a row.
I think what we’re seeing in her being on top of her game might also be because she’s comfortable in her own skin and she’s in a place now where she’s the boss of her own music and herself. It’s so beautiful to see and hear
I now know all the words to songs I have listened to for years. She sings so that you hear all the words so clearly ❤. Love this, please do more on Kelly
Kelly Clarkson is a vocal beast is as well. Whitney and Mariah both being her biggest inspirations
Kelly singing I Will Always Love You at the ACM Awards is a much-watch
You should check out Kelly singing I will always love you tribute to Dolly Parton at the ACM awards. It’s a beautiful rendition with a mix of Dolly’s and Whitney’s versions
Sounds great, thanks!
Yes to this!
@@bridgethegapreactionsNo it’s amazing! What could be better than someone singing that legendary song in both Dolly & Whitney’s styles?
Thank you so much for this awesome reaction! Kelly is absolutely amazing, she can sing ANYTHING! It’s so wonderful to see new people discover her talent. Please please please do more Kelly reactions! Subscribing!
Awesome, thank you!
Her latest release is her most personal and so amazing!!
I love hearing that the most recent album by someone who has been around for almost 20 years is up there with her best!
Kelly can sing anything, any genre.
If you want to hear more of her country style check out her tribute to Garth Brooks, singing The Dance. Country is not really my thing but I can't watch that without tearing up, its beautiful.
Even Garth Brooks teared up at her version - it was beautiful! I believe that was a Kennedy Center Honors performance.
For further reactions, there are some great kellyokes like happier than ever, leave the door open, she used to be mine, heavy in your arms, I could go on forever😂 but there is also her live performance of I will always love you, her billboards performances, her latest Vegas live performances for her new album..
I love that you were finally introduced to Kelly’s talent. She’s amazing live. She’s also an incredible person. Check out her new album Chemistry - the vocals are perfection . Plus her band is incredible. Enjoy!
You will get a slewwwww of fans if you keep up the kelly reactions. Look at others who start reacting to her, the fan base wth find your videos! Great reaction
Thanks! I wasn't expecting too many views on this really - I didn't know if she was still actively making music or anything about her really. What a nice surprise- thanks Kelly fans!
Awesome reaction to someone unfamiliar! Kelly and her team are top notch, anything you find will be extremely well done.
I think one thing that makes her able to sing across so many different genres is the fact that she was classically trained in opera. She’s been able to take the foundation of great technique and not only apply it across the spectrum of music, but also keep her voice healthy over all these years.
Also, some of the Kellyoke performances from within just the last couple of months have been some of the best she’s ever done. So I highly recommend pretty much any of those.
Her voice just keeps getting better.
This is my third comment but I adore this video so much. As a fan for 21 years, this makes my heart happy. You have just begun!! There is endless content. She's a wonderful song writer too. You are going to have a great time. Maybe for something fun, you can review her Halloween Kellyokes for the end of the month! Seriously cannot go wrong!
Thanks so much - looks like I stumbled onto something great here!
You’re in for a treat if you’re just starting your kellyoke journey ! Here are some of my favs : seven army nation, ring my bell, meaning of life (the live version), her kellyoke of her own song the trouble with love is
You would love her Aretha Franklin tribute singing Aretha’s 1st ever hit and Whole lotta Woman her own single!! She truly is a phenomenal artist and my personal favorite!!
Please react to her renditions of Leave the Door Open and Queen of the Night, they will blow your mind.
She has several great albums, and her newest came out June of this year. There's not a bad song on it, but one of my favorites is lighthouse.
She has also done extraordinary performances on a few different award shows including The Billboard Music Awards 2018 and 2019.
Also, 8 months ago she performed with Pink and Pat Benatar..iheart radio, and the list goes on.
Yaaayy! So excited that you’re getting into Kelly!
One of the best kellyoke’s is Happier than Ever!
Also, good live performance - Piece by Piece, American Idol Final season, first run. I know you love vocals that aren’t always perfect, but emotive. This one’s amazing.
Beautiful Disaster (live) is great!!
Love So Soft and It’s Quiet Uptown are also amazing songs, 2 different genres - both amazing!
Thanks Brian! A few requests for Piece By Piece - I'll react to that one next. Although I feel that I really could just listen to her do 2 minute covers of other people's songs all day long
When you do Piece by Piece, listen to the idol version first. She wrote that song while she was pregnant. Then follow it up with this version from this summer: th-cam.com/video/qZFa3SFaTUQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=I_NWLzgjNzKds383. It was her first time singing the song post-divorce and she changed the lyrics an hour before the show. Both are so powerful for the moments she was in.
@@bridgethegapreactions hey! If you need to react to Piece by Piece, make sure to react to her live performance on American Idol!
I’m so glad you’ve “discovered” Kelly and her powerhouse voice. The Kellyokes are a great introduction, but hopefully you’ll check out some of her original music too. Songs like “Breakaway,” “Behind These Hazel Eyes,” “Because of You,” “My Life Would Suck Without You” and “Stronger” are early 2000s classics (along with the aforementioned “Since U Been Gone”). Her recent music may not be as buzzy as her earlier hits, but they showcase a maturity and artistry that may have been lacking a bit when she was just starting out. I’d also recommend checking out her viral “Piece by Piece” performance (I challenge you not to be moved by it!), her cover of “It’s Quiet Uptown” from “Hamilton,” and her current single “lighthouse.” Hope to see more Kelly on your channel!
i love that you are getting into Kelly! Her along with Pink (who I also suggest you react to) are 2 of the most under rated singers ever! Please react to Kelly singing Piece By Piece on American Idol. She was the original winner but this was her coming back in a later season after she was famous
Her voice is great! She did a good version of The One That Got Away, a faithful cover of Love Takes Time, she also did a new rendition of 9 to 5 (as a duet with Dolly Parton), but to be honest, her voice is not only powerful but also very versatile, so she can sing practically anything and the result will be great.
Kelly has been doing covers throughout her entire career- the show just allows for more and more covers. I love it!
Kelly is easily one of the best singers working today. She’s absolutely incredible. Her backup singer, arranger & vocal director Jessi Collins is also amazing. Their voices are so similar and they’re so in sync that it adds tremendously to these performances. But yeah, Kelly can literally sing anything and she keeps getting better. She works with a coach and refines her technique constantly. She & Pink are quite similar in terms of range, power, stamina and they sound amazing together as well. Glad you discovered Kelly and Kellyoke! There are so many incredible live performances by her out there
I'm so glad that you have started your journey with Kelly Clarkson. She has a lot more crazy performances in different genres. Jazz, Country, Pop, Rock, you name it, she does justice to the songs!
Yes, she fits very well on Country, strange she hasn't done a country album. She has some hits in that genre thou like Kelly’s song “Because of You” with Reba McEntire and “Don’t you wanna stay” with Jason Aldean.
I will be here for your next reactions to Kellyokes!
Kelly Clarkson piece by piece on American idol, such an emotional performance
I LOVE this woman! Watched her on American Idol - VOTED for her. I will always be a fan!
Kellys performance for the Kennedy Center Honors for Garth Brooks was AMAZING.
Kelly can sing any Genre. She is simply one of the best singers I know. 😁
I'm such a Kelly Clarkson fan so excuse me if I ramble but you asked for it. (Kinda...Lol) Kelly actually studied classical music and performed 'Ave Maria' for the Pope in '08. She has sold over 25 million albums, 45 million singles, has won 3 MTV Awards, 3 Grammy Awards, 4 American Music Awards, 2 Academy of Country Music Awards, 5 Daytime Emmy Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Other than that she hasn't been doing much. 😊
Kelly can sing the phonebook!!! More Kelly please! Behind these hazel eyes, Because of you, What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and her live performance of Piece by piece at the American idol farewell season. You won't be disappointed 👌👌👌
Listen to her full chemistry album. It'll hit you in the gut.
So many amazing vocal performances over the past 20+ years. I know you wont VH1 abt 13 yrs ago, Meaning of life Nashville Sessions 6 years or recently her Chemistry album is brilliant. Thanks look forward to more. Again Kelly's Mic is always on. A rarity these days.
I will 100% subscribe to a kelly tier on your patreon channel.
She is amazing and can sing any genre.
Oh wow… welcome to the beautiful sounds of Kelly Clarkson!!! One of the most amazingly versatile and emotive singers of this era! Two of her best performances, that I’ve seen that showcase her versatility, have got to be her acoustic version of the song, “It’s Quiet Uptown”, from the broadway show, “Hamilton”, and her live performance on the Aretha Franklin Tribute show, of Aretha’s “Never Loved A Man”. I would love to see you react to those two performances! Thank you and keep up the great videos! ❤
If you want to hear her vocal gymnastics, I recommend her live concert version of Lady Gaga’s You and I
As a Kelly Clarkson fan since American Idol, watching you watch her was like looking in a mirror. She's an unreal vocalist. 💕💕
Kelly has one of the best voices of the past 20 years. Her songs are mostly pop/rock. She does powerful ballads like Because of You and more up-tempo ones like Since U Been Gone. Another vote for Piece By Piece live on American Idol finale (before they brought back the show on another network a few years later). It's a much better stripped down and emotional version of the single and deals with heartbreak of her dad and learning to cope later in life.
Finally someone who repeated that dream on part as much as me😂
Yes!!!
She just covered Eternal Flame, and it's glorious. Might be one of her best covers.
Kelly Clarkson was the first American Idol, has hits immediately and is the most successful artistically and in the industry (yes, Carrie nuderwood made the most money, but Kelly's rich now, too). She does pop-rock at the core, but she brings herself to classics, Christmas, she has country hits, too. She's Was a judge on the Voice US for quite a few years, but not currently. She just moved to NY with her talk show. Everybody loves her.
She’s such a fantastic signer, she sings most any genre! Pop, country, gospel and R&B! She can do it all
Kelly can sing anything!! She has such an amazing range!! I love her!!
Kelly is amazing! She can literally sing anything. Saw her in Vegas and her voice was breathtaking.
I love, love, love Kelly Clarkson. Kim so glad I came across this reaction. I’ll be waiting for more.
KELLY CAN SING A N y t h i N g....Her WHISTLE NOTES ARE POWERFUL too
itd be hard to find a better & more versatile & consistent live singer than kelly clarkson in pop music. she really is one of the finest we have.
i really love watching ur reactions as well. the way u reacted approvingly to every runs every belts … warmth to my heart 😂 kelly can sing anything. she sings from her gut. that old school open throat sanging!!!
Kelly is sooo gifted. She can sing anything and it will be really good. I love this girl for her voice, charisma and personality. I wish her all the best. Thanks for this reaction. Kisses from Poland ❤
This was a fantastic reaction! I just recently discovered "Kellyoke" as well. And I so agree with you it is too addictive. Great stuff!!!!🎉
Thanks Sam! Yep, she's awesome
There are so many awesome Kellyoke songs to choose. Ring My Bell, Queen of the Night and Fake Plastic Trees are some of my favorites.
I LOOOOOVE Fake plastic trees!!!!!!!!
Yes! She put out a 6 song EP full kellyokes. 10/10!!
You must hear her on Billie Eilish's song "Happier Than Ever." These songs she is killing, as she does with anything she sings, but "Happier Than Ever" will knock your socks off. She IS the best songstress in the business today. She can sing anything in any genre.
Kelly is one of the best voices ever and maybe the best singer, due to her love for music, for being able to sing pretty much anything and everything, not just with her voice but also with the feeling needed.
For a mind-blowing performance that will give you chills, please react to “Meaning of Life “, the Nashville Sessions.
I recently became a subscriber and very much enjoy your reactions.
Please more George Michael (“Spinning the Wheel”, “Older”, “Cowboys and Angels”, “You Know That I Want To” . . . )
Just do all the Nashville Sessions. That would be a good reaction video!
Delve into Ms Clarkson mate.. best vocalist of our generation. Go from American Idol upwards.. no faults or mishaps.. just pure vocal TALENT 🤌 One day people will wake up and realise 🙌
I am so impressed with Kelly. Not only a great singer, but a wonderful person!!
She can sing everything. It doesn't matter what genre, She can do it all and sound great.
You're not wrong!
I cant believe that he didn't know How Fantastic this Woman is! I put her in a Catagory with Cher, Barbra, and Celine!! I can listen to her all the time!!
Remember watching her Idols audition, and if I remember correctly they said she was opera-trained. Anyway, in my opinion Kelly and Pink are 2 of the best voices in music and they can sing the living daylights out of any song...and you can find them on TH-cam singing together
This was so refreshing seeing someone fall in love with Kelly Clarkson before my eyes! I too didn't really follow her career but I think around the time she started coaching on the voice I did a deep dive. She's the queen of the belt!
A Kelly Clarkson you tube rabbit hole is addictive. She's phenomenal as an artist, person and mother. Listen to Meaning of Life Nashville Sessions, this is probably one of ger best original songs ever
Hi! Nice to meet you, I'm GMT+1 myself, and yet have been a KC fan (aka addict) since I could "youtube" American Idol, approx. 8 to 10 years ago, idk.. And, I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed -- and envied you, and fevered with you -- watching you getting hooked, hook line and sinker, just like the rest of us earthlings, man !! It was a real treat (a real trip, too, iykwim) to watch you trying not to talk too much, to contain yourself, and so... So, Thank you for this vid.
Now... You asked for it, so here I go :
--- I would recommend you to watch the 22 million times viewed vid =
" Kelly Clarkson | Billboard Music Awards Opening Medley Performance! ". (I've given you its exact YT-title, so that you may paste it as is, into your YT-search engine.)
--- As far as her own (published) music, I would recommend to please NOT go to her first single ('since U been gone' ©2010) : the TV show producers (mainly Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson, both Label Executives) m a d e her record that, as did they for her first LP... She was young, a teen, but not stupid or sheltered from the big hard world (had lived in her car already, among other things) and stopped pretty soon doing what she was told, as she was known (and beloved for it, too) for being disarmingly outspoken about not wanting to be dolled with...
--- Instead, go check her most recent singles out her latest LP : 'Chemistry' ©2023 / 'Chemistry deluxe' ©2024 :
- 'mine' = " Kelly Clarkson - mine (Stripped Live at the Belasco Theater) "
and
- 'Rock Hudson' = " Kelly Clarkson - rock hudson (Live at The Belasco Theater) "
There you go !
Cheers again🥂, and c u soon! Happy Brand New Year to you, and your channel, have fun 😎 & tc 🩺+☮, jb
Do more of Kelly Clarkson, her voice is Amazing!! Love This!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wait to you find out that on top of it all, she is one of the sweetest, funniest, more genuine people out there!
May be my favorite KC cover. She is just a phenomenally talented young woman. She took this song, and made it her own.
She can sing anything but her own music is also amazing. Check her out!
