[@DegrassiInstantStar]

When many voices deteriorate over time, Kelly Clarkson's voice is just as strong as EVER! And she's even better vocally than she was 21 years ago.

[@ChrisTheAppleOne]

This is only due to her excellent vocal technique! She knows her voice inside and out, and knows how to belt notes with very little strain on the vocal cords. It reminds me of Celine Dion, who also looked after her voice super well. Kelly is in her 40s, and I recall reading many times that singers are in their prime in their 40s, which totally lines up with both singers. Kelly is in her prime, take it in haha!

[@levim6693]

Would love to see more Kellyoke reaction/reviews! She absolutely kills it in so many of them and she isn't appreciated enough!

[@kaikai9652]

I second this!

[@Gregarious747]

Yes this! Her Kellyokes over the last couple of months have been some of the best singing I’ve ever heard from her! Please please react to some of those 😊

love how people like to joke that when Kelly covers a song, the original singers should be scared 😭

[@christydethlefs9850]

Same 😂

[@Krystallia87]

I LOVE her. Shes definitely one of my all time favourite singers. Ive heard others cover her songs and been kinda like "meh". Except on 2 occasions. Leona Lewis singing A Moment Like This. And Lea Michelle singing Cry. Those two covers were better (just to me). But nobody else comes close Miss Kelly. And as a person too - shes just so lovely.

[@frankied.roosevelt6232]

She's truly the female Freddie Mercury of today. Amazing range and always improving and expanding her abilities!

[@scpatl4now]

Listen to Freddie Mercury sing "I Was Born to Love You"...I might give him the edge

[@frankied.roosevelt6232]

@scpatl4now life long Freddie Mercury and Queen fan (my parents literally met at Live Aid). I would agree if we were talking Kelly 5 years ago.. but she now also has the classical music training nailed down more and knows how to compose pieces in a way that Freddie never had the chance to learn!

[@jacobmccain8794]

@@frankied.roosevelt62325 years ago, she went to college for classical voice performance. So she had her classical technical training all the way back to college. She definitely has matured and of course worked in her craft and probably has taken more voice lesson just to get her brain thinking about to those technical things maybe she forgot about. Overall, an icon and one of the best voices today.

[@frankied.roosevelt6232]

@jacobmccain8794 she actually never went to college until more recently!! She got accepted but decided to drop everything and move to LA instead and thats when she had the idol chance! Shes been trying to expand her skills to the more classical side of things when she ended up developing vocal nodules several years ago more recently! Otherwise, she did even have vocal coaching or "professional" or private classical training pass that of what her high school choir teacher offered her! She explained such on the Dax Shepherd podcast back when her newest album dropped!

[@jacobmccain8794]

@@frankied.roosevelt6232 oh really dang, I didn’t know she dropped out. She said on the voice she had went to college to study classical music so I thought that meant she stayed and went through, but she probably meant lessons and things then. Thanks for the clarification!

[@KylinNicole11]

I think her being classically trained let her understand her voice and find it much faster than others. BUT...YOU NEED TO WATCH HER KELLYOKE COMPILATIONS BECAUSE IT"S TRULY UNFAIR. Her cover of Happier Than Ever by Billie Eilish is amazing, and her most recent duet with Teddy Swims singing Lose Control is burn it all down to the ground awesome.

[@summergirljen]

Yes!! Happier Than Ever and Lose Control are in my top few. Also love her cover of Creep!! She's amazing!!! ❤

[@lotrfan8]

One of my favourites is Breathe (2AM)

[@rmbrowne1]

Kelly only song classical songs in high school for UIL competitions all choir students did that here in Tx but she was not professional trained

[@percythelonelynite]

kelly was (if im not mistaken) classically trained and had been looking to be a pro singer before american idol, so it makes sense that she evolved faster as a singer

[@rydbthatsme]

Yes! That’s why she has operatic techniques sometimes

[@GuyAllenMusic]

No, she was in choir and musicals. Not classically trained, just natural ability.

[@GuyAllenMusic]

She probably has a coach now though.

[@percythelonelynite]

@@GuyAllenMusic i see, thanks for the correction. it still makes sense if she was in church choir and was a musical theater kid tho. those kind of people tend to have crazy pipes

[@QuikVidGuy]

@@GuyAllenMusic ♪Practice. Practice.♪

[@kristinseymour25]

Kelly recently stated she would like to re-record some of her earlier hits because she is now not happy with the way she sounded. She feels her voice is better today and I totally agree! I saw her in Vegas last August and she was amazing! Please react to more of KC! Great reaction!!

[@nightflame2037]

Wait she did??????

[@athienauf]

Her concerts are AMAZING. I was lucky enough to see her a few years ago and it was one of the best shows I have been to.

[@sophielem59]

I can answer the thumbnail without watching the video: yes. Yes she is perfect and yes she always was 😌

[@dancer004]

I’m still moved to tears when I watch her piece by piece performance on American Idol. I swear pregnancy wrecked my voice and it’s never been the same since and yet she’s out there crushing it while pregnant and just, she deserves all the love

[@morgankiesling1983]

Yes! That Piece by Piece performance always makes me cry. Have you heard her post divorce rewrite? Its just as amazing and so powerful.

[@defluffthefluff]

The moment I saw her audition on Idol I knew she was going to win. So glad she had more control over her career than many after her. Should do Carrie Underwood. She can kill it on pop/rock covers.

[@LuJo-se4dc]

This video was made in a lab for me

[@vocalnerd]

I was SO excited when I saw this pop up in my feed!!! Hannah + Kelly Clarkson = what a dream!

[@thejenmath]

I just love her! She’s such a powerhouse and I can confirm she’s an absolute sweetheart. Around the time her second album came out she came into the bookstore I worked at with a few of her friends. It was about twenty minutes before closing, and not only did she buy everything her friends wanted so they wouldn’t take long, but then she offered to help us close. None of us took her up on it, but it was so sweet.

[@rachelrather]

Reaction video of Kelly's live duets please! She matches her voice to theirs so it works perfectly.

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

She and Pink singing together give me chills. In fact, I think I'll go listen to it again.

[@rhettmitchell]

Her singing Mariah’s Whenever You Call again a couple years ago with the same guy from Duets (sorry can’t remember his name rn) was amazing 🤌🏼😫 Also when they sang Satisfaction on Duets together holy shit Kelly was going off on that show. We were not worthy

[@arwenreis4775]

Her and Martina McBride ❤

[@Krystallia87]

​@@arwenreis4775i love everything shes ever sung with Reba McEntire

[@tylerhackner9731]

What an incredible vocalist she is

[@ANNIE_R_U_OK]

For the 2006 grammy performance the shakiness was probably more due to the emotion. She was singing a song she wrote at 16 and it had been her dream to perform at the grammys. She was also given a false caner diagnosis very close to the show so it was a roller coaster night. Her best era vocally is probably now and 2012-2013. She gained a bit of depth early in her first pregnancy and despite terrible morning sickness sounded insane. You should definitely react to more kellyoke if you can. There are so many good ones to choose from. My personal favourite is probably dream on. Edit: I'm pretty sure she does not and has not smoked. I've never seen anything that says she has and I believe she herself has said she hasnt.

[@Mariethechaotic]

I'm also a huge Kelly Clarkson fan. I love watching her in interviews and she posted from home during early Covid days, I LOVED watching those.

[@AbigailGrayse]

Kelly Clarkson has always been one of my favorites!

[@MCMNasty2]

What’s crazy to me is how much control she’s gained and how much she’s improved when she was already so amazing.

[@amandahobson1602]

Kelly and Pink duets on Kelly's show was amazing! Also the diva thing with Ariana Grande was pretty great too.

[@insertname193]

I lost interest in American idol, and competitive singing in general, a long time ago but I’ll never forget the first season. It was the one show we watched together as a family and enjoyed every week

[@clarasoto9672]

omg you should totally react to Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande singing “Santa Can’t You Hear Me”. The high notes in that song are crazy good and I think you would love it!

[@queenbratbracken]

I have seen Kelly perform a few times and she was fabulous every time. I wonder if American Idol would have taken off if it had not been for Kelly being so great in season 1.

[@alison12171]

I’m so glad you included her performance of vampire because it’s literally insane she’s so good

[@esthers.9185]

So happy to see a vocal coach's reaction to Kelly's evolution! My mom is a huge Kelly fan and has been to multiple concerts and to Kelly's show. I never really understood why my mom is so obsessed with Kelly until I learned Kelly's story and her hardships. My mom relates to her on a deep level with her personal life, and singing songs helps both Kelly and my mom get through things, and I love that for them. Huge Kelly Clarkson fan now!

[@TheJoelyy]

I've always loved Kelly so much, but 2023 & 2024 she is singing so well and it sounds so effortlessly!

[@alyssamapes827]

You should totally do a reaction to her Kellyoke performances. They are absolutely incredible!!!

[@speakevermore]

Kelly had such a perfect voice for the era of music she came into. Her sound was fairly unique for the 2000s, but the 2010s were all about a high belting with a ton of vibrato (think Ariana, Adele, Jessie J). I was a fan of hers in the early 2000s and i was a kid so i didnt know what exactly i liked so much about her voice, but I knew she had something special

[@thiswayjose]

The truly amazing thing about Kelly is that she’s able to perform any genre. It just works for some reason. She’s magic.

[@PavaoKantor]

Where did you get that she used to smoke from? She said on her show that she doesn’t smoke anything because she’s a singer and said it in an interview as well. 😅 Love your videos btw ❤

[@UltimoDogLover]

She's affirmatively stated she's never smoked. I've never seen any evidence to the contrary.

[@LovedByYou]

As a 90’s kid I will always praise Kelly Clarksom for the vocal genius she is. So many of us had her as our vocal icons. She sings with such versatility and strength. I love her voice and she’ll always go down in history to be Americas first ever American Idol

[@Krisk012]

Kelly Clarkson is one of the best vocalists alive. So underrated and Kellyoke has been so fun to watch!

[@gabrielcabralmarin7952]

I wish you reacted to her newest album, her new songs are SO good and she tried some very different things from her usual pop songs 😄

[@tnfan4347]

I just paused this at 22.56. I need to say how much I appreciate your appreciation of Kelly's voice. I'm gonna go fill my water glass, shut my office door, breathe for minute, then re-watch your reaction just then and feel it all with you.

[@virginiakelly1678]

I feel sometimes that big singers feel they h ave to sing bit all of the time. She seems to have come to a part of her life where she truly takes her time to interpret and enjoy the journey of singing.

[@reneenala]

I loved this! We need more Kelly Clarkson reactions!

[@xandraflagg6068]

Was just fangirling over her kellyoke performances ❤❤ love this

[@thasard]

There is a full version of Vampire from her Las Vegas residency if you ever need to see that. 🤣 Happy to see this video because she's my all-time fave.

[@suegordon8907]

This made me so happy. I LOVE your reactions-please do more of Kelly’s-Seven Nation Army, Lighthouse (and her whole Chemistry album), and any of her duets. More from you on her would make my days.

[@JustinKlinger-qi7uh]

The fact that she was already so effing good from the jump and just continues to get better more than 20 years into her career is insane. I’ve seen her live thrice and she deliiiiiiivered every time. Such a queen.

[@yaelhoefs4791]

Love Kelly Clarkson! To bad she doens't do concerts in Europe (I understand it with kids and her show but still). I read somewhere that her band learns all the songs in multiple keys so she can sing them in a certain key by how she feels that day. The fact that your band wants to do that says a lot I think.

[@ricksantora4152]

I can imagine getting a gig in her band must be a dream job for a musician.

[@RAY_32]

You should do a whole video of you reacting to Kelly singing covers on her show they are so good!!!!

[@Foreverisa_]

I was waiting for this one aaaaaaaaa Kelly is so good! Her range is amazing and ever single compliment I give her feels like an understatement to her talents aaaaaaah 😩❤️🤌🏻

[@kendrabryant4738]

KC is my favorite female vocalist! She is definitely under-appreciated by the masses for the amount of talent that she possesses. She can sing so many different genres and sound incredible doing it! Her original music is great too! I find that I like her songs that are lesser known the most. You should definitely check out more of Kelly Clarkson’s recent Kellyokes & her original music! Her latest album, Chemistry, is great! There are live at the Belasco performances of a lot of the songs & she’s done some on her show, as well as other places. Her Meaning of Life album (the album before this latest one) Nashville Sessions live performance videos are great too!

[@Snorasaurus]

She’s my favorite vocalist ever, I’ve been waiting for this video

[@Delaney.N]

Can you do Julie andrews next ! She’s one of my favorite singers and I want to hear your thoughts ants about her nodes and how those surgeons ruined her voice

[@MalphasMikaelson]

Kelly Clarkson her performance of Natural Woman on American Idol is still one of my favorite performances by her.

[@elizabethjulia20]

Omg love that you've made a series out of this, and love Kelly! Also... just have to put out there that since your first one with Taylor I cannot wait for more Taylor reactions! I'm sure you don't need any more recommendations, but the disney+ folklore longpond studio session is a beautiful relaxing live album studio performance with mini song descriptions that I think you'd love! And someday I would love to see your reaction to her "reputation stadium tour" since you loved eras!!... and we also love Kelly for in part giving Taylor the idea to re-record her masters to own them. A true girl's girl who has always seemed so down to earth throughout her career!

OMG MY FAVORITE SINGER OF ALL TIME THANK YOU HANNAH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! 😭💖💖💖

[@anneristeyn5256]

Kelly Clarkson is the only one who keeps her og singing voice throughout her life. Also a fellow Kelly Clarkson fan here!

[@blkchoklit]

I would love to see more kellyoke reviews! they’re so good. Also, it would be really interesting to look at Kelly Clarkson‘s voice when she was pregnant versus when she was not gestating human life. I was watching a video, and her voice was amazing, and I thought about the limited access to breath that she had because of the human gestating in her body, and wondered how that affected either the sound or her ability to make that sound. Like how much harder it would be to make that same sound With that shift in your body.

[@amandaaitken6140]

Her piece by piece live performance on the voice (I think it was) is breathtaking how she recovers after loosing by it and just keeps on slaying!! ❤️❤️

[@christinawoods9306]

Was idol final show...before they brought it back

[@Nessayancy]

Thank you so much for making this style of video - as someone who can’t afford vocal lessons regularly, I learn so much from your analysis!!

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Kellyoke is the most generous gift to all of us who love outstanding vocal performances in general and Kelly specifically. I kinda can’t believe we get to hear her just smash out glorious performance after glorious performance all week long. I want to kiss whomever gave her a show and thank GOD she went for it. I don’t know how it is that so many of us can feel like she’s still underrated when I think the whole industry is kinda in awe of her, but it feels like she doesn’t get ENOUGH flowers for her talent. She makes it looks like it’s the easiest and most natural thing in the world. This was a really enjoyable journey through her career thus far. Thank you ❤

[@sethbender2863]

She’s so amazing. I would say she is one of the best people you can show of a vocal evolution that has only progressed so much throughout the years. While she was good before, she is technically so much more in control of her voice, now, and has created such a clean slate, everyone sleeping on Kelly Clarkson’s covers

[@elphieanne]

I just love when she sings with other musicians. For example when she is singing with Pink and her harmonies. Oh it makes me so happy😊

[@Finnishgirl484]

Loved it! Please do more Kelly reactions! There're so many great Kelly performances to choose from! Great ideas on the comments already! Like some have said Kelly has never smoked. She was overworked during her career so there were points in the beginning years she had problems with her voice, but now she takes great care of it and her performance schedule is realistic. She also avoids talking before performances. I feel like she sounds even better nowadays. Have seen her live multiple times. Last time was last August in Vegas. She's the best live!

[@lenacherry]

Kelly is a full package and a vocal beast! Favorite singer ever 😍

[@amelia4318]

Hannah, I smiled so wide when I saw this video! Some performances/recording recommendations for you to review of Kelly throughout the years: Comparing her Pre-Idol demo of Queen of the Night to her 2023 cover, her performance of “Happier than Ever” in Las Vegas 2023, “Lighthouse” on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, “The Dance” honoring Garth Brooks, “mine (live from the belasco)”, “Lose Control” (duet with Teddy Swims on her talk show), her cover of “like eating glass”, and for fun, her song Red Flag Collector

[@heatherkosinski6126]

I'm still so bummed that I didn't get to see her in Tampa in 2015. She had to cancel the rest of her tour because of vocal chord injury, and they cancelled *right* before the concert I was supposed to go to. I completely understand, I was just bummed we didn't get to see her (and Pentatonix for that matter). I've loved her since Idol. And I love that now she does Kellyoke and also duets with other really great singers, and she lets them shine when she could easily overtake them. She's just a class act with an amazing gift.

[@katiemcteague]

Kelly has often said that she doesn’t get nervous performing. She was not nervous at American Idol at all. I think she just has full confidence in her abilities and doesn’t take everything so seriously. She goes for an opportunity and if she nails it great, if she doesn’t oh well, there’s always another time. A great attitude to have.

[@GraciesMom]

I’m not quite sure where you heard that she smoked but she does not, nor ever has, smoked a day in her life. Just so you know-she’s too smart for that! On another note, if you could analyze/react to some of her Kellyokes I think you’d enjoy it as much as we would. Also she did a killer duet with Teddy Swims live on her show that went viral…she’s said in interviews that she always wanted to be a background singer and it shows on duets. She’s very generous about giving the other singer the limelight. Thanks!!!!!💕

Had a blast reliving so much of her journey. 😄 Side note: I'm lowkey-highkey mad her Kellyoke of "My Love Mine All Mine" must have happened right after you filming this. I'm still in awe weeks later. I'll never get over how gorgeous she sounds in that performance, and (if you haven't already) I know you'd absolutely gag seeing it. Maybe my favorite vocal moment of hers ever. 😭
