Kelly Clarkson Admits She Changed One Lyric In Avril Lavigne's 'Breakaway'

[@djm4854]

I love how Avril looks and sounds like she's so young without being immature or like she's trying hard to be. She just naturally vibes really vibrant youthful energy inside and out. She's so unique and awesome.

[@egorzimowski3505]

it's just her repeating "like" all the time plays the trick. And the fact that she doesn't really say anything but a bunch of basic phrases with non-informative adjectives. Unfortunately, that's what american intreviews are about

[@manastati]

@D talking and writing are two different things. You can be a good writer and have a bad diction.

[@user-ht1ft3dy3s]

she does sound a bit immature

[@richierich6732]

Avril is married to me and faking the relationship with mod. Avril and I started dating as teenagers in Napanee. You fans don't know your favorite musicians just because you follow their career and social media.

[@chanieee9566]

@D because it’s not necessary? i write more eloquently too compared to when i speak because i write for formal purposes like poems or essays. why do you want avril to use words like robust, quintessential, majestic, introspective or other expressive adjectives? she’s not talking to business men/women, she’s doing a casual talk show interview.

[@angelabest4468]

OMG I can't believe this conversation about Breakaway was edited out in the first interview. So glad this was posted. 🌻💖

[@MasterAkiDraw]

SAME!!

[@alimay4342]

Was probably edited out because Kelly doesn't let her talk or finish a sentence

[@macaoron]

Could’ve been because Avril decided to record her version of Breakaway for the 20th Anniversary Edition of Let Go, which wasn’t released at the time the interview first aired. Releasing it now helps promote the re-issued album.

[@TeeNakii]

Yes ❤

[@leesasmusic1069]

@@macaoron if you also watch in some interviews or before this interview I believe Avril said "Kelly's song" I love that because that's being respectful.

It’s so iconic they spoke of this. Breakaway is such a good song

[@hakobangz25]

Its not only good but its also inspiring. The song made me feel like moving even if im on a bad day, and im on my anxiety attacks. “I’ll spread my wings, and i’ll learn how to fly” this song taught me that bad days don’t last. That we’ll grow our wings eventually and we’ll be able to fly.

[@tinkerbell48]

I love both Avril and Kelly’s versions of Breakaway! They were my two favorite singers in my early teens. I can also relate to both versions of the lyric “ Grew up in a small town, and when the snow/rain would fall down…” My hometown is snowy in winter and rainy in spring and fall 😅

[@MaryJane-dt4jt]

I love how she never really grew out of her physical style; she still dyes her hair and wears punk outfits. It's really an inspiration! just because you get older doesn't mean you can't stay young and happy.

[@KIZZABERRY]

I love Avril so much, always have. But she’s always had a tendency to be somewhat withdrawn and awkward in previous interviews. This is the most relaxed I’ve ever seen her in an interview and it really is a testament to Kelly, not only as a talk show host, but also to who she is as a person. This was really great to watch and I would give my first born for that Breakaway duet.

[@doubleyouexwhyamzed]

I also feel like Avril wanted to be nice and make a good impression since she was such a betch to Kelly at the VMA awards.

[@damngoom6722]

@@doubleyouexwhyamzed But that was 20 years ago!🤷🏼‍♀️🙄

[@davidcarr9772]

Love Kelly but it's not a testament to her. Avril has just grown up over 20 years. So have I and people change. Especially over two decades. She had an attitude when she was younger but so did I and a lot of people. I think they wanted her to be cute and sing Celine type ballads and she wasn't having it at all. It just wasn't her. I love remembering when Complicated came out, great song. Same with Kelly and Because of you 👍🏼 Take note Wendy Williams, guests appreciate someone genuine. Not a wig/weave wearing transsexual who is made of plastic, fake and a nasty old hag

[@TheRareVideosXL]

@@doubleyouexwhyamzed No,that was by accident.She's a shy person by nature and by the way,she apologized to Kelly a long time ago.

Alanis and Avril were and are everything!!! This Canadian girl had their music on blast since they both hit the scene.. and they are incredible artists representing women in the music business to this day!!! Love that Kelly finally got to share these thoughts with Avril on that day!!! Wonderful!!!! It's always amazing to watch women celebrating each other and their accomplishments!!! Happy Canada Day!!!! :))

[@Shaylin97]

Avril has not aged a day! Love them both at artists but also just as people, they both seem so genuine :D

[@dontxtalk]

These two... Listened to them both for hours and hours since my teens.

[@TheRoseAnthology]

I am proud to say I still own both of their first albums. A major memory of a spring break trip was my 3 friends and I playing my copy of Avril on repeat for a 7 hour drive, both ways. It was a therapeutic drive for us all. Kelly's first album was and still is my most loved burned cd. Both are QUEENS and I love that they are still relevant in a positive way even after almost 20 years in the industry!

[@hiddenjams3609]

Avril and Kelly have been my favorite singers since the early 2000s, and I've always wanted to hear them collaborate on a song together. I'd love to hear them record a duet of "Breakaway," but I'd also really love for them to do a brand new song. Kelly said it here, so I hope they follow through!

[@azuben413]

If they recorded a duet of breakaway I’m sure that it would break the charts on Spotify especially in this pop punk renaissance.

[@jordanadkins2427]

Both of these girls are total badasses. Two of my favorites glad they're still going strong!

Avril and Kelly were my two first favorite singers when i was 8, and i love them even more today ❤

[@paige8361]

[@josephlewis9237]

Avril Lavigne may have done the original version of Breakaway, but, to me, Kelly Clarkson's version is the one that remains in my heart. It was my Primary School Leavers song 14 years ago and it was THE Leavers song to have even before I left. Whenever I listen to Kelly Clarkson's version of Breakaway, I feel like I've been transported back to my Primary school days, hanging out with my Primary schoolmates, playing football, playing rugby, playing cricket, attending music concerts, going swimming on Wednesday mornings, having end of term disco's, etc.

[@mikebarber12]

The reason Kelly got the song is because it didn't fit with the concept of Avril's first album

[@SidV101]

That's why I keep coming back to it, this song feels like childhood to me lol

[@Leoshaus]

They’re both legends and I’m so happy they posted this clip of the interview.

Kelly and Avril turn into the music industry at the same year

[@theboss222r3]

Just when I think I couldn't love Avril and Kelly anymore than I already do, they both say they own Ford trucks, and Avril's is a Raptor, which is even better. Avril and Kelly need to sing Breakaway together. I have seen/heard people edit their two versions together, but I need to hear an official version in my lifetime. Preferably recorded as a single you can buy, but the two of them just singing Breakaway together on a stage and watching it on KZbin would still be one of the best moments in my life. PLEASE make it happen ladies.

I just think especially after the way their first meeting went at the VMA's when Avril wouldn't accept a hug from Kelly when being handed her award (standard procedure at the VMA's and so rude and so awkward) - she just shows so much grace. We don't deserve her!!

[@GilbertGTV]

I love how genuinely connected they are. I almost feel like the transparency they are sharing with one another makes it inevitable that I would really want them to discuss the very first moment in which they met. Those of us who remember Kelly on the first season of American Idol remember that she presented an award to Avril Lavigne at the MTV video music awards that year. When Avril grabbed the award from Kelly, she blatantly pushed her and dismissed her as a non-artist. I would love to hear Avril Lavigne recognize that behavior and possibly even offer Kelly an apology.

[@tiagogo7188]
