The Kelly Covers #3: Because she can sing anything!

The 3rd Kelly Covers Discussion Thread

What other songs would you like KC to cover?
This is a thread to discuss, gush, analyse, or relive Kelly's many "cover songs".
And as a huge fan of music herself, we all know she has covered many and loves to do so!
So this is the place to discuss them all.





List of Songs we would like to see Kelly cover:
If I Was A Boy ~ Beyonce
Light On ~ David Cook

• • •

Turpentine (Brandi Carlile)


I Will Wait (Mumford & Sons)


Wonderwall (Oasis)



• • •

Quiz:
What Kelly cover has been your favorite and why?
If you could pick any song for Kelly to cover, which one would it be and why?
Which song do you think Kelly should cover AGAIN?
Is there a song that Kelly has covered that you wish she hadn't?

Hey, Kelly Clarkson, it's time to release an album of cover songs

The time: More than a decade ago — 2002, to be specific — and it was Big Band Week on American Idol. Ugh, this week is going to suck, I said to myself, letting my distaste for the genre shine through. And I would have been correct in my assumption — had it not been for Kelly Clarkson’s rousing, fun-filled, and totally punchy performance of Betty Hutton’s “Stuff Like That There.” That was the first time I remember thinking, with 100 percent conviction, that Kelly Clarkson could sing anything — and it would be far from the last.

Fast forward to today, when I stumbled upon a two-week old YouTube video of her covering Mumford & Sons’s “I Will Wait,” which I’ve been rewinding Michael Scott-style on YouTube for the last four hours.

Fast forward to today, when I stumbled upon a two-week old YouTube video of her covering Mumford & Sons’s “I Will Wait,” which I’ve been rewinding Michael Scott-style on YouTube for the last four hours.

This is far from the only time I’ve become momentarily obsessed with one of Clarkson’s covers. As we’ve already chronicled on this site, during her tour last year, she unleashed a storm of equally repeatable cover songs that remain etched in my ear drums as some of the best covers I’ve heard in a long time. (Fave: Gotye) Which brings me to my point…

Can we get these released properly already?

I’m sure there are obstacles to such a task, but that’s something for music execs, business guys, and dogs with glasses to figure out. Purely from a fan’s point of view, I would love to have these songs so I don’t have to listen to them with ill-timed fan screams and crowd singing. Or, in the case of the video above, I’ve listened to that camera click at the 3:48 mark about 100 times. Lord, beer me strength.

So, Kelly, from one Texas gal to another, let’s make this happen. These little gems are too good to get buried in the musical landfill we call YouTube.

I completely agree with that. My preference though would be that they professionally record her doing the covers live at a concert and release it that way as opposed to her going into the studio and performing them. She's obviously amazing in the studio, but they lose something when they're not done live in front of an audience (see Smokestack session covers)

I'd prefer a live album of covers or even some of her songs to a studio recorded one too

I saw a list/article posted on Twitter yesterday and the title was something like, 22 covers performed by Kelly that sounded better than the original. Or something like that. I should find the link again.
