Kelly Clarkson - Someone Like You (Adele Cover) Live in HD from Brisbane Australia 2012

Kelly Clarkson chose Adele's 'Someone Like You' to cover at her Brisbane, Australia date on her Stronger Tour. This Tour date was on Tuesday 25th September 2012.

[@ShyerLady]

I think Kelly is the best of all the American Idol winners

[@edithmercer5908]

I agree

[@srrings]

@@edithmercer5908 yea they both have true voices with great tone

[@deannawilliams2203]

Same

[@brash_and_sassy]

Can we upgrade that to an entire Kelly and Adele duets album?

[@BloodNote]

Oh God I couldn't handle this.

[@emlem52]

I love her covers. She respects the songs and the artists who sang them, but still makes them her own in a beautiful, unique way. She is so talented and one of the greatest singers of today's generation.

[@MarleneAug2010]

Kelly Clarkson is THE most versatile singer ever! I love this version!

[@Ishraquep]

That's the beauty of a quality singer. I bet we haven't got overall 10 singers @ her level.

[@jeffreyfail3010]

It's a rip off of another cover version by Corey Grey and Jenny lane..

[@MoanikaLewinsky]

I wish Adele would hit the notes of this song that she "always" avoids hitting when singing it live, and I have to admit that Kelly not only did justice to this song, but in fact I have to say, I think she went beyond!

[@Zanderthegrape]

+MoanikaLewinsky Guess you never knew she had a vocal hemmorage.

[@briansounalath]

Yeah Adele has a limited range that can’t naturally hit those notes live easily. With her forceful, powerful singing it makes her so susceptible to injury. Plus she smoked.

[@cheery-hex]

Kelly is far more technically proficient vocally

[@Aquariusxx]

Alexander Garcia-Cornelius she had to have surgery twice due to poor technique. That’s why she got vocal hemorrhages.

[@darkcadence938]

This version is two key higher then the original much harder to sing

[@jokc7179]

She's amazing. She never hits a wrong note. The most important thing with Kelly Clarkson: she feels what she sings.

[@demiandjbfan1]

I don't know how she thought she would suck singing this. She is one of the best singers that has ever lived honestly

[@gustavotbf]

OMG she hit those very hit notes in "..Don't forget me I bet..". Damn I feel like crying.

[@TheHappyheart77]

+Gustavo Fernandes yep/I even prefer Adele singing that in lower tones..The Royal Albert Hall concert was AMAZING! Until Adele asked the audience to sing along in the chorus ,you could hear a pin drop! true sign of a SUPER STAR!!.. (Nice cover Kelly..:)

[@sandrajovic7735]

Gustavo Fernandes I always thought the lyric was: "don't forget me, I beg"....

[@nourhanhaitham9130]

Isn't "I beg"??

[@AndySaenz]

Gustavo Fernandes Because she transposed it to a different key to fit her voice. But it still sounds amazing!

[@Shahidecc]

Even Adele never sang "Don't Forget me I beg..." at high note in her live performances. It is very very hard! Kudos to Kelly for the attempt.

[@mikeh0212]

The person who co-wrote the song with her has said that she doesn't like the album version of the song (he's the one that talked her into doing the high notes during the chorus) so that's why she never performed it live like that.

[@Shahidecc]

mikeh021 - Because that is really hard to do. I like Adele anyway, but I don't remember her doing a high note ever.

[@hiroyamaguti6354]

Adele is an alto and Kelly a soprano, so it's less hard for Kelly to do the high part ;) She is covering in a higher key too!!

[@theusaosb]

Geam Yamaguti no no no! It's not about the note, but about range! The same way it's easier to Adele to reach low notes cause she's an alto, it's easy to Kelly to reach high notes for being a soprano! But this song will have the same range to anyone who try to sing it!

[@hiroyamaguti6354]

Matheus Souto Bastos That's what I said. You can't talk about range without mentioning notes. As a soprano, Kelly reaches high notes effortlessly because her vocal range allows her to do so. On the other hand, Adele's low notes are richer than Kelly's. And it's quite obvious this song has the same range to anyone who sings it. Guess why? It's the same song! :B

[@Donf914]

The ORIGINAL American Idol. How do you NOT get goosebumps every time she sings live? Thank you, Kelly Clarkson, for being you...

[@thegirlbehindthesun]

She is a brilliant performer and her voice is so powerful

[@azndude8888]

She killed this. let's be honest, that was amazing. I love you Kelly Clarkson.

[@debraclarkbrown3264]

I almost cried, her performance is perfectly amazing .

[@choochd]

I would love to have see Adele's reaction to this.

[@teresacatroppo2277]

Also the Glee’s version of this song! I have it on my playlist and literally blast it in the car!

[@jankyme]

covering an Adele song and wearing an Ozzy tshirt....how cool is that!!

[@chrisd8183]

not cool at all.

[@jankyme]

and why is that?

[@edithmercer5908]

Lol

[@PERRYNKELLY]

Thats simply the greatest female rock singer of all-time! Flat out! Her qualities in her voice are unmatched 1- The VOICE itself...(feminine and beautiful) 2- The ROCK to sing that hard and yell in tune! 3- The SOUL to enable her to extend the song to a much deeper place. 4- The POWER to blast her voice into the nose-bleed seats without a mic! She posseses ALL 4! Most people have only a couple of them. FOLKS! Nobody is even close .....

[@mikslzrrrrr]

This is what i love about Kelly, when she covers a song she's making it her own.Not like what some people are expecting.. "a replica"..She's doing it her way,the Kelly way or for short she KELLIFIED it.Good job Kelly..

[@Neverwakemeup]

Kelly has a beautiful voice, Adele is amazing also. You can't really compare their two voices because theyre both from two totally different parts of the world and are trained to sing differently. Kelly did an amazinggggg job with this song putting her take on the song. I wouldn't want her to try to sing it exactly like Adele because it wouldnt be her. She's doing a cover of a song so you also can't expect her to have the same emotional connection Adele has either.

[@katjasokol4370]

Why is her voice always so perfect?

[@ikkilovesenglish3891]

Kelly has such a distinct style when she sings that even when she sings Adele's song, it doesn't sound like she's imitating Adele at all, in fact she kinda made it her own. That's a true artist there.

[@bleedingbatho]

Kelly is sooo talented! She can sing anything...and sound great.

[@JenniferJiang2013]

Did she do Adele justice? More like she gave it life and catered it to a new audience.

[@rowell669]

Kelly did a fantastic job. She has so much talent. So proud she’s a fellow Texan.

[@daphnebeloved]

She is blessed with very good pipes!!

[@maceyflatt42]

Kelly made this song her own! This was great. I always love listening to this and her other covers.

[@MrNetMan11]

When Adele sings this song, she imbues it with more raw emotion and with great power in the lower registers and this gives it so much impact on the listener. Kelly has to be one of the greatest singers ever for her range and power. I love what she did with this song, and she will always remain one of my favourite singers ever.

[@yugojawad230]

Finally someone gets the "dont forget me" part right. Everyone else does it the easy way

[@foulme]

Real talent doesnt need big shows

[@nccsmith]

I am a HUGE Adele fan, and have been a Kelly fan from the day she auditioned. I am blown away by the justice Kelly did for this Adele song! Stunning!

[@FFearFFul]

What a great job kelly, im the biggest daydreamer here, adele fan base. U really did a great job like she has a very good voice! But adele as she sayes she is one lf the best singers, shes is.

[@Changelingheart]

She is just so special....and will always be this way.

[@razrv3lc]

I love these covers. She doesn't just rehash the songs; she makes them her own! I like this WAY more than Adele's version.

[@Me-nh1fz]

Why do we need to compare the two? They are both talented in their own right... I like both, Adele and Kelly. At least they can both sing live. Cover their sing and refuse to lip sing like alot of today's singers

[@lkh1048]

You got a strong stand / point there !! :D

[@revonnecombs2131]

Kelly has a gift that God gave her!she can sing anything. I Love kelly. Keep singing Beautiful Lady. Love you

[@austindeal3386]

I personally have not seen comments of people comparing the two, however when Adele sings live she is very pitch, and I've never heard Kelly sing pitchy. She is constantly tuning her voice regardless of what song she is singing. Adele is incredible though, and the soul she brings to this song is unmatched.

[@handgemachtnaildesignbymel2951]

I really love and appreciate Adele. But dear Kelly, this was unbelievable, incredibly good. Thank you so much for all those feelings you sent. ❤️❤️❤️

[@kimsoojung7023]

Adele is the best singer to sing this song, but here Kelly is the best singer who's covering this song...i found a new feel :) they're amazing

[@scooterss2112]

+Kim Soo Jung can you imagine Pink covering this song? Would be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kimsoojung7023]

+Steves ForcedAccount it must be amazing, someone like you rock version 😍😍

[@monstermom4358]

I think Kelly does it better live than Adele, just my opinion!

[@monstermom4358]

+Steves ForcedAccount OMG,yes!

[@priscillaplanque9767]

agree with you!!!!! :) :) *-*

[@briansounalath]

I can’t believe she started so high and even went higher than Adele

[@greenrocket9344]

My wig literally flew to moon

[@worldof2ndfluteclarinet353]

Kelly is a Soprano, and Adele is an Alto so, there's that.

[@tomlinn2437]

My first thought: she definitely sings it AS WELL as Adele -- no better or worse, just distinct. It's fascinating to hear two different interpretations of a brilliant song by two of the most brilliant singers of our time.

[@92lotrklan]

She did amazing on this. this is how covers should be. A perfect homage. As a musician, yes she did sing this in a higher key, she has the power which Adele has in her voice, but it is very much Kelly singing. The purpose of a cover is to pay homage, not to create a replica. And I think Kelly did this very well.

[@joannap8769]

She sounds amazing as always. knocked it out of the park. I love this rendition too. The drums really added something special to the feel of it.

[@annalissac]

Such a stunning cover. Kelly never fails to amaze me with the musical choices she makes as a performer. This version gives me goosebumps

[@sternjudge]

I wasn't sure if Kelly could pull this off, but what she's doing after the 5:00 mark....WOW. She is more than getting away with it.

[@cuppycakey5013]

Nothing but phenomenal, she never ceases to amaze me with her talent.

[@axelle32]

Everytime she speaks to the audience in such a funny, sweet, personality-filled way before a song there's a voice inside my head that goes "god I love you"... She's just such an incredible person.

[@Ishraquep]

She's really Down to Earth

[@ekvk120608luv]

She's amazing. Beautiful song, beautiful singer. She's so strong. I like it better than the original. This woman is my idol. Also P!nk. They should do a duet.

[@ellenwinters2917]

First I just want to say that Kelly is one of my favourite singers. Love her voice (and her personality) Second I can't say whether Kelly sang this song better than Adele or not, since I have never really heard all of the original song (just bits and pieces of it) But still, I thought Kelly did an excellent job singing this song.

[@ellenwinters2917]

And also just wanted to say that I've always thought that Kelly and Pink (another one of my favourite singers) should do a duet together. I think their voices would sound amazing together. I've thought this ever since I tried to find one of Kelly's songs (or so I thought at the time) and couldn't find it anywhere. Only to find out it was actually a song of Pink's. No wonder I couldn't find it I was looking under the wrong artist, duh!

[@danycerundell9549]

@@ellenwinters2917 Check out You Tube- they did a duet of "Everybody Hurts " and killed it- amazing- both of them. My favorite all time singers.

[@jovanapetrovic8791]

Jesus... She should record this, this gave me chills... The music, the backup vocals and her angelic voice, amazing

[@Anna4135]

every song kelly sings makes it her own.it's amazing

[@sanjaymenon7870]

I dont think people who dont sing realise just how difficult it is to hit those notes in a full chest-mix belt every single chorus and not one flat or crack out of place (since she’s capable of those stylistically) …and top that to the fact that she just covered an Adele ballad and absolutely crushed it (out of hands of any other artist in my opinion).

[@fraukeschmidt8364]

Good cover. She made it her own.

[@JonnyYouTube]

Kelly slayed it. She can sing anything. She's amazing!

[@cazpk6840]

LOVED IT. Adele and her are the best singers. Real talent never needs cheap stripping or vulgar crap.

[@LynetteHerbrink]

Love this version of the song! The added drums make the song a bit more dramatic, suits the song well if you ask me:) GO KELLY!

She took the song and bring her own twist to it. its really refreshing to hear her version of this song. my ears are clapping with happiness

[@aregatokek]

i am never an adele fan so i guess that is why i prefer this version. i don't care about the emotions conveyed for this song, but kelly's voice is just way much stronger and fiercer that adele's which is what i love the most about kelly's voice. the way this song was arranged also really fits to showcase what kelly is made of.

[@PetroleumJellay]

Kelly is a far better vocalist than Adele and Adele's fans know this so they try to use emotion as their main argument lol

[@freudlacan6892]

PetroleumJellay I’m a huge crazy fan of kelly . But let’s not . Adele has an amazing voice too it’s very special and she really has the emotions in her voice . But for me kelly is the best too ❤️
