Kelly Clarkson - Wrapped In Red (Cautionary Christmas Music Tale)

[@lorrainedesousa2163]

This song gives me goosebumps like crazy.

[@fabiangeduld2662]

Song is so underrated, amazing voice

[@cathy1520]

I don’t know why but this song makes me cry. She is such a powerful vocalist and seems to be a beautiful person inside and out.

[@Betweentheraindrops8]

If you haven’t watched her acoustic performance of this that she did in concert, that’s gonna make you bawl. It’s even more intimate. I can barely listen to this version anymore because I immediately think of the live acoustic one.

[@ehop1217]

Me too!! 😢but love it!! ❤

[@AJM2183]

She's so underrated. What a voice, could listen to her all day. One of the best xmas songs out there imo.

[@damaliasase1073]

She’s really not though. It’s just that she is not naked all over the place or in the tabloids every 5 seconds…but if you look at her numbers and awards….she’s doing just fine.😆Just because she is lowkey doesnt mean she isnt killing it. Like her show won an Emmy in its 1st yr. Why does everyone keep saying she is underrated🤔

[@AJM2183]

@@damaliasase1073 You literally just agreed when you said low-key? Haha. This all depends on your definition of underrated...

[@damaliasase1073]

@@AJM2183 Exactly. She is lowkey so you think she is underrated, but she isn't. I meant lowkey in her personal business and lifestyle. We don't know all about her personal life and she isn't naked everywhere or using scandals to get media attention. What's your definition of underrated then?😂Her list of awards and accolades don't look underrated to me but people will think what they want, I guess.

[@alexandrumircea7458]

Actually a love song that mentions Christmas, but a great song nevertheless.

[@AJM2183]

@@alexandrumircea7458 Don't mean to argue mate but it's from her Christmas album called wrapped in red which is the name of this song. Granted it's a love song, but Christmas song first. That's like saying Last Christmas by Wham is about a love song Xmas themed.

[@ravencademedia]

What's even more beautiful she was with child during this performance...and she was really sick during her pregnancy, however, she stayed poised, and delivered perfection. I am sorry she was ill, but River Rose loved hearing it.

[@testing7802]

She is incredibly underrated. She is one of the best singers alive today

[@olivermaid694]

[@laprimaverrra]

I can't believe how expressive and malleable her voice can be! Yes, she has spectacular range, control and technical ability, but her greatest strength is her phenomenal versatility and being able to evoke any emotion effortlessly.

[@da11king]

Amazing iconic performance ❤😊🎶✨️🎼🎧👌🏾🎙 Now it's engraved in my Christmas memory bank.

[@magialuisa6493]

Hermosa mujer y muy talentosa, su voz y expresión al cantar transmite emoción en cada presentación además me gusta su personalidad cada vez que canta agradece a su coro y músicos reconociendo también su valor e eso habla muy bien de ella, extraordinariamente esta en un muy alto nivel y se lo merece

[@kushnoketchup]

Listen to that vocal strength in a live performance, Kelly is a different caliber of performer most cannot touch.

[@bruno_diniz]

I m p r e s s i o n a n t e ! She's out of this world. The greatest sing today.

[@omarv2944]

Omg IM BARLY WATCHING THIS !!!! I think this is her best preformance ever

This is one of her best.I luv it!

[@mcal3602]

That's ok it's September 2021 and I'm listening to all her Christmas songs. I could do Christmas all year long. Other songs I love are Christmas all year long {Disney channel} by Sabrina Carpenter & I want a hippopotamus for Christmas {Leann Rimes version} Happy, catchy, feel good songs.

[@justwhatilike...234]

Full body chills EVERY TIME … Kelly just gets better every year! May she find her person soon, ‘cause romance is all this beautiful young woman needs to make her life complete! I only say it, because I hear her say it so often on her show! She wants a good man for her children too! 🌹2024 Kelly🙏🏻

[@ddawgpotter2297]

Omg! I just love her so much!! Her voice and control is incomparable!!

[@alriahgutierrezfernandez8037]

This is effortlessly beautiful and powerful.

[@danpc5232]

I know "Underneath The Tree" will be Kelly's trademark holiday song for decades in the future (for good reason); however, there is something about this title track (Wrapped in Red) that creates a perception of bringing us right back to our teen and early twenty years. For many of us, it's the era in our life where we are trying many different things for the first time, and it's scary. We're probably on school break during the holidays, which gives us the time to reflect and think about what's important. In this song, the writer is going to "put all their cards on the table" and tell that special someone how he/she really feels right around the holiday season. Ladies and gentlemen, there are many lifelong relationships and multi generational families that started with "risking it all" that one time. I love how this song creates that visual.

[@csrboltfan2643]

I was going to write something very similar, but I found you already opened the door. I totally agree with your post. Christmas is a time when so many people fall in love, like a Hallmark movie. My own love story doesn't revolve around telling anyone I love them for the first time at Christmas so I can't comment about that, but I know a few people who did. Some were family and some were friends. I can happily say that all families that were created from those experiences are still together! But, what I really wanted to say was, Christmas is a magical time when the desperate heart wants SO BADLY to compel the mind to convince the mouth to utter those words. How beautiful is it that two people, boy and girl, who grew up together as friends (Neighbors? Classmates? Best friend's friend?), always there for each other, suddenly find themselves thrust in that unwritten No-Man's land when, like the words of this song say "I'm gonna risk it all", one of the friends -- who has been harboring feelings of love for that other person for a long time -- breaks away from their fears and tells the other "I'm in love with you". It takes tremendous courage to risk the possibility of losing a life-long friend in hopes that friendship becomes more that it ever could before. Yes, sadly, there are many rejections, but also joyfully yes, there are many, many relationships that have moved beyond mere friendship to the ultimate friendship known as marriage. I can't think of a greater joy that marrying your BEST friend. My ex-wife and I were never each other's best friend and we had an extremely rocky 9-yr marriage, and our two young sons saw nothing but fighting between us. She also committed three affairs all the while accusing ME of doing the same. No, I did not. After our divorce, she IMMEDIATELY hooked up with, and married, another guy and they had a daughter. They're still married and I'm very happy for her. Today we're friendly to each other. Plus, I gotta say he treated my sons well. I also met a woman (the night before my ex- got re-married !! How's THAT for coincidence?) and dated her for 3-4 yrs. before we married. Why so long? I NEEDED to make sure she was my absolute best friend before going down that road again, and that she was going to be a good "mom" to my kids. Let me say the God answered the prayers I didn't even know to ask. Not only is this beautiful creature my BEST friend, she's been an INCREDIBLE "mom" to my sons, and an ASTRONOMICALLY FANTASTIC "mommy" to our own daughter. We celebrated 20 yrs of marriage this year, and I'm excited for the next 20. Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to get that off my chest. Merry Christmas everyone!

[@danpc5232]

@@csrboltfan2643 Amazing. What an outstanding story and visual you have created with your follow-up. So happy you found love with your best friend. I guess it was 2002, which is the same year that American Idol started and gave Kelly Clarkson to the World. Best wishes!

Wow. You heats me with your words. Send U my love from Brasil. Have a nice Christmas!

[@Bian1223]

@@csrboltfan2643I agree.. tho this song does not only apply to romantic relationships but also friends or families that have grown apart . First time I heard this song I thought of my brother who I used to be so close but we stop talking when tragedy struck the family.

I think this song is better than Mariah Carey’s Christmas song! Ms. Clarkson is amazing & beautiful!!

[@Bian1223]

Yes so much better with so much emotion this made me cry but Mariah’s didn’t. It’s the way she conveyed such raw emotion lyrics and everything

[@normaali7506]

Totally!

[@ninjabluewings]

Oh my goodness this is INCREDIBLE! so much power, so much passion and so BEAUTIFUL! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@csrboltfan2643]

Everyone is commenting on her performance, which was spectacular, (I'm a 55 yr old dude and this song even gets me sometimes emotional) but did anyone pay attention to the actual lyrics in the song? THEY'RE the beauty of the song. Desperate hearts searching for love. That's what the song is about, and the lyrics spell that out beautifully. Every Christmas countless, nervous, restless hearts the world over start beating differently because someone has fallen in love with someone else and wants to desperately tell them. But, out of trepidation, and very real fear of rejection, few people have the courage to approach the person they fallen in love with and tell them "I love you." "I want to spend the rest of my life and grow old with you." "I want to have a family with you." "I want to hold hands and share intimate moments with you, etc, etc, etc." But, not knowing if the other person will return the same feelings, or reject them because now the friendship has changed to an awkward one causes so much stress and heartache. The results can be ultra rewarding, or extremely devastating. It may even end the friendship. That's the risk that has to be taken, but one has to be willing to take that risk. This song is sung from a woman's perspective, but the "game" is played by both sides. Men and women, both, lay their hopes and dreams on their future at Christmastime. Here's my advice (like I'm anybody to give it !)....... Those of you this year who are betting the farm on whether or not to let your feelings be known, you should already have some sort of sense that the other person may be receptive to your proclamation of love and desire before you venture out beyond the safety of the dock into the deep waters. Love is NOT a feeling. Love is a COMMITMENT. Telling someone you love them is DEEP WATER, for sure, and it's not to be taken lightly. For those thinking of taking the plunge, GO FOR IT !! The rewards are infinitely worth it. But, IF, you get rejected, YOUR WORLD WILL NOT END. You can be disappointed, even devastated, but DON'T do anything stupid or irrational. All it means is that you miscalculated the relationship. It happens. Take time to cry, sob, eat ice cream, or whatever. But, get over it and move on with your life. The sun will still rise the next day. This gives you an opportunity to re-evaluate yourself, your ideals, your morals, etc, and try again with someone else another time.... .....perhaps with the person who was the one God actually intended for you to be with.

[@Bian1223]

This also applies to family who haven’t seen each other for fear of being rejected..

[@csrboltfan2643]

@@Bian1223 Yep, I agree with that, too.

[@lorrainedesousa2163]

That's how I feel about this song. I have a mad crush on someone who is my old neighbor I grew up with but married to someone else. It's agonizing. Then I find out he's moving to another state. I feel awful. 😢

I agree! The emotion of it is great and the way she sings "color" is so open and round. It rings beautifully at the end of that line.

[@jja8750]

And just to get crazy specific, I also love the way she sings "paints" in the next line. It's a high note that she just nails with no sliding up to it and lets it ring before completing the next phrase. Gosh, she is great.

Lyrics: Miracles all around From afar I've loved you But never let it show And every year another December comes and goes Always watching Never reaching But this Christmas I'm gonna risk it all This Christmas I'm not afraid to fall So I'm at your door with nothing more Than words I've never said In all this white, you'll see me like You've never seen me yet Wrapped in red (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Blue is where I've been Green can't buy me you Silver bells remind me That mistletoe's for two So I found a color That only tells the truth That paints a picture Of how I feel for you, oh Oh, this Christmas I'm gonna risk it all This Christmas I'm not afraid to fall So I'm at your door with nothing more Than words I've never said In all this white, you'll see me like You've never seen me yet Wrapped in red (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I'll never feel you If I don't tell you This Christmas I'm gonna risk it all This Christmas I'm not afraid to fall So I'm at your door with nothing more Than words I've never said In all this white, you'll see me like You've never seen me yet Wrapped in red (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Wrapped in red (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh).
