Kelly Plays Never Have I Ever: 'American Idol' Edition | Digital Exclusive | The Kelly Clarkson Show

[@chih0e]

I love how she’s still so engaged with her time on Idol and pays tribute to it still with such fond memories. It shows how much it shaped her and in turn us as fans who followed her career.

[@katbowl9971]

Yes, I love that!

[@harrypotteravenclaw]

So humble! Loads of talent competition winners don’t look back at what made them famous

[@rezaaguskurniawan6967]

the most genuine person out of this world. I stan you even more than ever

[@saraelisabeth9038]

"But it turns out he's just nice to me and supportive so YAY! I impressed the Brit" 😂😂 how could Simon not love her

[@trailee3197]

It’s kinda hard not to love this adorable angel!

[@frankinsaneandmyrrh1202]

haha yeah I was like, that just means you killed it every week, Kelly 😂

[@keatonrjones]

"It looked like I was winking at America"... made me laugh again

[@AnnaLizzyRose]

It aint my drama so I aint spilling that tea! I love that! Respect to people who dont gossip or drag others down.

[@nw5390]

“I Surrender” was one of my all time favorite performances on idol. Own it, Kelly!

[@jessicapatton5635]

Nick West I thought the same thing!!! I recorded every episode on vhs tape and I watched that performance over and over!!!

[@jiminlover8212]

Yes, exactly. Celine is the best and Kelly pulled it off. They are my 2 fave singers/and genuine people.

[@edeclark]

I have heard her say before that she had been having laryngitis and voice problems during that song but it sure didn't sound like it to me. I think it was one of my favorites actually.

[@KE-hr4sb]

Same! It's one of the ones I remember vividly. I liked it so much I had to look for the original, but then I liked Kelly's cover better!

[@carmeenamack]

Lol I love how Kelly always brings up the “so this one time in Germany...” story 😂🤣😂

[@marcelomodesto9202]

2:42 Are you kidding me?That perfomance is amazing!

[@kekhriezao]

I also was like, "Excuse me, that was spectacular, what are you talking about?" TBH, she sings better than most even with laryngitis.

[@heymrcalvin]

SAAAAME!

[@Htx.lunatic]

It wasn't. I love Kelly now but at that time, and currently, no one is above Celine, and I remember vividly HATING her because she sang that song and it was awful. But, now I'd put her as my #4 fav artist so I love her now.

[@marcelomodesto9202]

@@Htx.lunatic It's poor of you to compare singers, MY GOSH! Each singer is different! And it is an AWESOME perfomance and the fact that she had laryngitis makes it even outstanding.

[@Htx.lunatic]

@@marcelomodesto9202 she's singing a Celine Dion song. Why wouldn't you compare them? That doesn't even make sense. Also, she herself said it was terrible. I'm just agreeing with her. I thought it was subpar, you thought it was great. You are entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. Thank you.

[@GlowingBrunette]

“If you didn’t, whatever, you just wasted all that time” I'm dying, love her

[@caitlinrose6838]

When?

[@caitlinrose6838]

Nvm, just heard it lol

[@JaymeOlivia]

Kelly: Here's the thing (goes on to answer the question) Me: we started out friends, It was cool but it was all pretend...

[@stardesignandmediazuleyrap510]

Jayme Yates omg me too!!!! 😂😂

[@saniahprater897]

Jayme Yates yeahh yeahh since you been gone

[@gavino681]

Jayme Yates You're dedicated, you took the time

[@ve5216]

Hahaha exactly

[@Mks71999]

Same 😂😂

[@thomasyewcic3520]

When she talked about voting for herself for her Grammy’s she’s so cute she definitely deserved it she works so hard

[@thomasyewcic3520]

@Just a passerby aw thank you:) i am still singing just having to focus on school a bit more so i can pursue it even more! thanks for the support it means a lot :)

[@CarlosGraOca]

“If you didn’t, whatever, you just wasted all that time” 😂 I love her!!

[@rosenbergbenadretti]

2:35 If a producer on the show reads this, please tell Kelly that I became her fan when I heard her rendition of I Surrender. Even with her voice cracking in like 2 seconds, the performance was so powerful. It was like listening to 5 instruments coming at you at once. Gonna replay it now for the 100000th time.

[@tomgallowitz]

Agree she thought it was terrible and we voted for her out of pity, even sick she sounded so good and raw and on pitch

[@nanonano03]

For her 'sounds like a dying cow' was still way better than my all out performance in the bathroom. Love you, Kelly.

[@sceleste888]

"you just wasted all that time" LOL!!! 😂😂😂 So silly and funny. Love Kelley!!!

[@edeclark]

I don't think I've ever met a person that hasn't liked Kelly. Maybe if they've never seen her or heard her or watched TV or listened to the radio before. One of my most favorite people. I have no doubt that what you see is what you get with her.

[@dennisbaccam6235]

“I Surrender” is literally my favorite Idol performance of hers. 😂

[@jessicapatton5635]

Dennis Baccam same!!!

[@shaneautin7396]

Sameees

[@bluedasher74]

Same!

[@GracefullyPlanned]

I can't believe it's been 17 yrs. The only idol I watched

[@erickacontino47]

I think this is my favorite show from now on. Love it love you kelly

[@quadruplerainbow7601]

I can’t believe she thinks her rendition of I Surrender on Idol is as bad as she’s making it out to be! For having laryngitis, she DEMOLISHED the hell out of that song! That rendition was fantastic and to me solidified she would be the one to win (Along with her rendition of Natural Woman)!

[@gaila.6003]

I have news for you Kelly...."I surrender" was incredible...I've watched you sing it on KZbin over and over. It was brilliant, laryngitis and all!

[@Geffreu]

She’s right she NEVER got a bad critique from Simon. But she was FANTASTIC. There was nothing to criticize.

[@kathleenpallotta]

17 years later: still the funniest person in the world

[@vitorAlsouza]

I've been waiting for YEARS a duet between Kelly and carrie. Now that Kelly has a show is the PERFECT opportunity for it

[@keatonrjones]

"Thats not me"... I almost chocked on my cereal laughing so hard

[@Matkai]

"If you didn't, whatever...you just wasted all that time." OMG, love that.

[@tiny99990]

I somehow always forget how refreshing Kelly is to watch until I watch her on her show or in an interview like this (even though this was on her show) she's just so awesome.

[@credwood3892]

she's so funny and i have even more respect for her than ever because she joked about diarrhea...kelly, you're honestly the best

[@ashleyziegler4776]

She is THE MOST human celebrity. We love her for it!!!!

[@neltobe]

Such a cool Person. I can't wait to see her in her 40s and 50s. She'll be revealing what it's like to be great through every age.

[@krisstinawilson4461]

I LOVE this woman more than anything!! She is the type of person that is so real and you can tell she is who she seems to be. She's not a fake or a pushover because she's such a great human being. I would love to just give her hug because she always makes me happy and I think if I could have one wish that would definitely be on the top of the list. #LOVEKELLY

[@izraakazekeen]

I love her facial reaction when she said “We’ve been over this” that poker face 😂

[@slpsaslpsa9675]

She has The Ellen Show level of success. ❤️ maybe more.

[@teresaedwards7526]

Slpsa Slpsa definitely more❤️

[@MariaLunaDelRey]

1000% more

[@kennyc7210]

OMG this is why she's one of my absolute favorite Singers she's just an amazing woman and a hell of a talented singer

[@crystalcampbell2811]

Even though her voice cracked that week when singing I Surrender, I still thought she sang Amazing. No pitty votes needed. Just shows you how talented and how much of a tropper she is 💗

[@tamar06]

Literally it's Kelly Clarkson the one and only "Kelly Clarkson"! No other person sounds or looks like her ❤️...but that was funny 😹 would love to witness that in person

[@bananacathammock]

SHE IS SO POSITIVE! I aspire to be just like her.

[@scottrhodes8160]

I love this women-so natural and down to earth.

[@kavyadas8797]

Whenever she said "here's the thing" in the video I just said "we started out friends" 🤣

[@lisaheilig3834]

She always keeps it real I love it

[@jml42980]

Never wasted time when it comes to you Kelly!!!

[@shaneautin7396]

I surrender is my favorite idol performance of all time😂

[@rydbthatsme]

I disagree I have that “I Surrender” performance on my playlist because it was so raw and incredible.😍

[@marjorienyangweso7485]

Your honesty & detailed answers is heart snatching 👌

[@sergioj.rodriguez1190]

She's so unaware, but she's my human. She's so dope! Crush for years!!

[@debbie4710]

I'll love that you are so true to yourself. Happiness is just being yourself.

[@yudimeidiansyah1098]

I wont walk away Kelly, you got my support for this channelllllll!!!!

[@bettycogswell9851]

You gotta love Kelly....So cool seeing the judges on her show...

[@amyslakehouse]

BEST TALK SHOW EVER 💕

[@stephenanthony3094]

I love her so much. My one wish in life is to meet her. I've seen her sooo many times in concert and have literally cried when she walked onstage. I freakin cried when she won American Idol. I'll meet her one day. She's too down to earth not to! And I love her show and Kelleoke. I'd listen to her sing the McDonald's menu!

[@aprilphillips3404]

She's amazing!!! I want to meet her some day, I think she would be someone I'd love to hang out with. She's just so real and down to earth. Don't seem like she looks at herself as better than anyone and I love that so much.

[@ambzerambzer8800]

Lol, Kelly is just the best, she’s seems like such a nice person and totally just owns everything she is, she’s the perfect example of kindness and quirkinesses is cool 😎 And love how at the end “And if you didn’t like it *ha* you just wasted all that time” point out those suckers Kelly :D

[@bethcoussou]

Kelly, I think you are the most genuinely nicest celebrity EVER! You seem so sincere, likable, and you’re funny!! You have an amazing voice and I believe the best female winner of AI!! You’re a fantastic role model for young girls, too! I could go on, but maybe I’ll check in again on another video on your channel, to which I just subscribed!

[@patisdepaula]

Her performance of "I surrender" is PERFECT! One of my fave

[@r.s.mendoza8085]

I found myself winking when she did. 😁

[@tyrvthe]

Anyone else start singing Since u been gone after Kelly says: Here's the thing...

[@nattieccireland1039]

In future when people tell me to shut up I’m say hell no Kelly clarkson is my spirit animal so u can’t shut me up my filter don’t work either 😂😂

[@G-grandma_Army]

Did Kelly write her song, “Since I’ve been gone”? She keeps saying “Well, ‘here’s the thing’”! No pity votes, Kelly! We were already in love with you and knew your talent!

[@angelabest4468]

No she did not write that song. But yes she does say "here's the thing" A lot lol

[@apolloholmes208]

I can see that she's still loved by many people because she seems to me a very respectful person. So many people watched American Idol back then and since she's the first one many still remembered her. She's a great singer and the fame doesn't seem to affect her. Very down to earth. Her respect I guess to AI (other people called it her "roots" when pertaining to her rise to fame and glory) gives her credit. She looks back and never forgets. She's never ashamed and she's really proud of her journey... I hope young people could learn from Kelly Clarkson especially about dealing with your dreams, careers and passion. Nice one, Kelly. God bless you and good luck all the time. 🙂 ●~~~~●

[@S--yo3zr]

Fek !! Kelly is the most beautiful human being ever !!!!

[@Sarahlovexox]

I remember “I surrender” and it was fantastic! The rasp just added to it

[@judycovington5641]

You are so awesome Kelly! My favorite singer, song and book writer, person, entertainer...........Ever!!😀🤗🤗

[@frankinsaneandmyrrh1202]

Kelly, stop! I just rewatched your version of I Surrender and it was so good.

[@nasskc896]

She may not winking during Respect but she did winks a lot through out the show. And still do throughout her career...so Kelly here's the thing... people loves your winks.😉 and people loves YOU.

Keep it coming and continue the exposure of "realness!" You keep 'people like us' afloat!❤ #muchlove
