Kelly Clarkson - Don't Play That Song - 2002

[@michaelangel22]

Fun fact: that is me holding the “I ❤️ Kelly” poster after Simon speaks 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ReverendMeat51]

No shit? That's awesome!

[@samsong24]

That's awesome!!! Wow, you got to witness my favourite Idol performance of hers LIVE!

[@timd5301]

Thanks for speaking for all of us that night.

[@lidiapirondini926]

È brava, ma l'emozione che mi dà l'originale, non me la può dare nessuno

[@scottw6704]

One of the few women who can growl on a high G and not even blink. Amazing.

[@YvonneMendez-l9c]

Shes great and down to earth u deserve your success sing it Kelly do lady soul proud❤❤

[@outthedoorlife]

Kelly defined her win singing this song imo. Great… I’d buy it today.

[@peterbalac1915]

So would I shes amazing.

[@Greatgownsbeautifulgownss]

The single greatest Idol performance ever. And I’ll stand by that

[@dumdeedumlalala]

This was a great performance, for sure! She had other ones that I think stood out better (Stuff Like That There, You're All I Need, etc). Also, Tamyra Gray's "A House Is Not A Home" still gives me chills. And that's just from Season 1 :)

[@peterbalac1915]

I've just listened to Aretha, Mariah, and now Kelly God this version was something else hard to pick my favourite love them all ❤👏👏👏

[@ronaldkatsuki7413]

Me too.. Even I just watch ben e king.. Since he was the first.. Love this Song tbh..

[@1031E]

The Glennis Grace cover is the best.

2:24 "Kelly, Kelly, Kelly -- absolutely brilliant, man. I love your voice. You give me chills. Brilliant. Brilliant."

[@RockPicard]

After all those years , don't know why this is not in the millions views !! One of the greatest singer !!

[@fellermister6628]

i came here from the Kelly Clarkson show Kellyoke - WOW!

[@Mrm_Mario]

Check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing

[@kekhriezao]

I feel like I was the only one going around for Kelly's songs but apparently I'm not alone. haha

[@michaelangel22]

Kekhrie Zao These performances are gold 🙌🏽

[@nikipangman503]

Kelly Kelly Kelly! You give me chills. Truly the best American Idol champion. She totally knocked the ball right out of the park. Her rendition of this song was just smashing, maybe should have saved it for a future single hit. Imagine Kelly was just recovering from laryngitis, she had completely lost her voice the day before.

[@stephanieesmond2757]

Simon definitely predicted how down to earth Kelly would always be!

[@ReverendMeat51]

Was going to say the same thing!

[@joanmaciel6178]

When you hear the covers, that’s the moment when you notice how hard and difficult are Aretha and Mariah’s songs!

[@beachplumb]

This performance on American Idol was the first time I saw/heard Kelly Clarkson. I hadn’t tuned in to the show until this episode and specifically just as this performance was starting - I didn’t even hear her full name until the following week. But I was simply blown away, and thought, “There’s no chance anyone else can win this thing!”

[@maureendeskins4178]

What pipes!

[@Mrm_Mario]

Check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force , amazing

[@bluedasher74]

This is one of my favorite performances from her season of Idol. 👌✨ It's too bad that they didn't put her to close the show because she gave the best performance that night.

[@thesovgc]

Kelly Kelly Kelly!

[@danny3385xx]

Eargasm ❤️

[@oiooi6460]

The moment she transcended the competition and became a superstar in waiting

[@JordanSmith-bp1cf]

COME ON, KELLY CLARKSON TAKE ME TO CHURCH ⛪️ RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

[@soulserenade.kcn1992]

Lol the judges comments are so quick here, but I loved what Simon said. Kelly never became a diva!

[@Mrm_Mario]

I love the way she sings the old songs, I love watching her sing, check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing

[@anabaird3737]

Basically Simon said she’s better than a diva, she’s a goddess

[@JeanclaudeHouze]

Je voudrais bien les paroles écrites en français et en anglais comme j avais déjà vu sur ce titre ........merci jc😢

[@JordanSmith-bp1cf]

WELL, THIS NEXT SONG RIGHT HERE IS GOING TO TAKE ME TO CHURCH ⛪️ IS DON’T PLAY A SONG

I bet even Aretha loves this.

[@samhilton1979]

IDOL performance VS KC Show Good high belt but out of control Technic and Emotion VS Better Technic even lower note but still surprised

[@joachimregalado8568]

She sang it in the same key in the kc show

[@princexl2783]

That's not true. Her control was actually incredible here. It was on a majourity of her Idol performances.

[@samhilton1979]

@@princexl2783 i mean shes better on the KCshow...her control..her tone..Dont get me wrong on idol on fire too ..I love KC

[@adrasteia3866]

Simon flipping off the camera at the end... did that really air? 😂😂😂

[@tjschoenlein5189]

Why would anyone need to apologize for being from a small town? Moronic comment in my view...

[@MissLonelyT]

Good right

[@StreamHypeBoyByNewJeans]

She was so pretty... Wish the current Kelly would lose weight

[@rubymccaslin6841]

That's not nice!!!!

[@Greatgownsbeautifulgownss]

@@rubymccaslin6841well she took ozempic so

[@MissLonelyT]

Nooo!!!!##

[@ART-re1vq]

She sounds so pitchy ! Her singing has improved so much!

[@Thales1997]

Dee Zyre No. She doesn't sound pitchy. She sounds good and her belts are very powerful in this performance

[@Bloooo95]

No she doesn’t....

[@steveboysen877]

This is one of her best performances. Period.@@Bloooo95

[@primewilmusean829]

She sounds better during her debut era than later.

[@Mrm_Mario]

There’s a story about the new guy who just starting his job as an radio announcer for the New York Yankees, During the first inning he said, “The Yanks look a little jittery today, “ He immediately got a phone call from the owner. “The Yankees never look jittery,” he said

[@angeliquegramont4478]

Horrible je préfère la version de mariah carey

[@solejoe]

Que tu préfères Mariah Carey c'est ton opinion mais de là a dire que la version de Kelly est horrible !!!!!🤔
