Run To You (Whitney Houston) Cover By Kelly Clarkson | Kellyoke

[@la381]

What a concept. No lip syncing. No electronics. 100% her own voice. My gosh, she is amazing. Her voice is breathtaking. One in a million. She doesn't fake anything.

[@codytylerr4983]

IM SO FUCKING DONE WITH THESE COMMENTS UNDER SINGERS. Do you understand the difference between a singer and a performer?!?!? Of course she is gonna sing and showcase her voice. THATS HER TALENT. She doesn’t need the flashy clothes and fake voice because she is not a performer. She isn’t Britney Spears or Madonna. She isn’t performing a show or an act which they do. I WANT THE FAKE VOICES AND DANCES WITH THE FLASHY OUTFITS OK FROM THE POP GIRLS BECAUSE THEY ARE PERFORMERS NOT SINGERS. Oh my god. Stfu. I’m so tired of people saying this under someone that can sing degrading others that perform. Uneducated swine. Kelly won’t ever be Madonna and Madonna won’t ever be Kelly because they do TWO DIFFERENT THINFS EVEN THO THEY ARE “SINGERS”. 🤬

Kelly and the Kirk Whalum (saxophonist who played many years with whitney) great song, great arrangements, great artists! Thank you all!

[@tyrellanderson4722]

Kirk knew how it should have sounded...ahhh, Whitney.

[@jenniwilliams3295]

4 years later she's even more talented and definitely still the best. She just covered a Whitney song again all the man I need just so good so so good

[@microscopic.caterpill]

Her audience are literally getting a concert omg I’d forget I’m at a talk show. Where the napkins ?

[@adrainevans6667]

As a die hard Whitney fan I noticed two things. The first is that she sounded amazing and the second was Kirk Whalum!

[@jenniwilliams3295]

She did another Whitney song later and he came for that too

[@samuelandrews3383]

Whenever I hear someone try to sing Whitney I always think it is sad and unfortunate how much they fall short, but Kelly actually does this well. I have been clicking all these kellyoke videos and this now convinced me that she could sing anything and I would enjoy it. She is amazing.

[@tyrellanderson4722]

Still unfortunate. Doesn't capture any magic

I think that there's only one vocalist in this generation who should ever try to sing Whitney songs and that is Kelly. Kelly is the best vocalist of our generation.

[@Eddierockification]

JHud can slay Whitney too, imo they are the two most talented Idol alumni.

[@specielleanderson4075]

Also, let’s add in Jesse J.

[@user-yg6uo7nt8n]

Let's not forget Christina Aguilera

[@jenniwilliams3295]

​@@user-yg6uo7nt8nShe adds too many riffs and runs. Whitney was such a clean singer. I will say Jennifer Hudson could probably do it justice I've never heard her sing a Whitney song though They are both two of the most vocally talented people.

[@jenniwilliams3295]

​@@specielleanderson4075I don't think she should sing Whitney. I like her voice but it would be a very different song with her covering it

[@marks.8643]

The greatest vocal talent since a young Whitney. She is a generational talent

[@grantbarrett1]

The fact that she can even hold a candle to Whitney, much less enter the same stratosphere of similar vocal talent, is astounding. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 RIP Whitney❤

[@hiuwo]

Mind if i ask why people say this? Cuz Whitney is an undoubtedly a superb artist but Whitney’s vocal range is actually significant lower than many. Her songs are very cool because of the literal craftsmanship of them, not necessarily only the vocal part- not technically hard for semi professionals/ professionals to sing her songs. And again her songs are not just about technicality.

[@thiagoviana9644]

@@hiuwo It's actually pretty hard to replicate her live performances from 1980s to early 1990's. Despite not being a technician per se Whitney executed some very advanced and technically difficult vocal feats. I don't care much for range but a I wouldn't say a C#3- G6 vocal range is significantly lower than many.

[@hiuwo]

@@thiagoviana9644 oh i absolutely agree. i just just want to call out these people who think range is her thing

[@user-tl3hs7ze7w]

@@hiuwonobody thinks that Whitney’s range is what makes vet special. It’s her effortless power, her ability to control runs at any tempo, instantaneous transitions to head voice with perfection. She undoubtedly is the greatest vocalist of all time

[@beachlover9705]

Some note you close your eyesnans swear its whitney .She just that good.

Listen. Kelly chewed the mess out of this. Her & Kirk together? A match made in heaven. They complimented each other and he followed her riffs perfectly. This was remarkable.

I wanna run to you (oooh) I wanna run to you (oooh) Won't you hold me in your arms And keep me safe from harm I want to run to you (oooh) But if I come to you (oooh) Tell me, will you stay, or will you, run away Run away I need you here I need you here to wipe away my tears To kiss away my fears, no If you only knew how much I wanna run to you (oooh) I wanna run to you (oooh) Won't you hold me in your arms And keep me safe from harm I want to run to you (oooh) But if I come to you (oooh) Tell me, will you stay or will you run away
