Kelly has that soul in her voice that comes from something deep in her spirit. You cant be trained to sing like that. She slayed that song.

Been listening to Aretha all day and I'll say that Kelly sang this song with the passion I heard in Aretha's rendition. Well done Kelly. Well done. Wish you as many years of success as our Queen.

QUEEN Aretha would be so proud!

I want to hear 2024 Kelly do this. She’s been amazing since the beginning and is just getting better with time. ❤❤❤

I have been a fan since day one but THIS performance has solidified her place in the upper echelons of great female vocalists

Kelly, the lot of us need you to put out a cover album of soul classics such as this. 😭

How can you sing like this and not walk around with a giant ego? She is amazing. I was not prepared for this. I think Kelly has an innate sense of pitch and control that even other great singers don't have. I am borderline OCD with a crazy sense of pitch and the smallest deviation flips me out. Kelly and Gladys never let me down. Kelly is absolutely the best American Idol find ever and one of the best living American singers period. Fantasia second, Carey Underwood third. Total respect.

I love Kelly Clarkson, you did Aretha Franklin's song AIN'T NO WAY, Sooooooooo GOOD.

I love the Queen of Soul Aretha and I favor her versions of this but ... this lady sang that! Soul is soul regardless of color baby and this lady is soulful! Go listen to her Up to the Mountain live from the American Idol finale ... she takes it to church!

she has a great voice her color has nothing to do with it, God blesses and she has been blessed with a voice,

Damn. Kelly killed this. Great!

The lady can sing.

Years later, and I always come back to this. Her tone is impeccable. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! So much vocal stamina! Amazing power in that A5 near the end too!!

Damn! She killed that

Kelly smashed dis song!!! Go Girl!!!!

She DID sound better in person. Man, this was a wonderful concert!

I knew Kelly Clarkson because she sang an Aretha song on American Idol. Yes, Kelly literally brought the HOUSE DOWN!!!!

Damn she pulled it off! KELLY YOU ARE BETTER THAN I THOUGHT! 😍

love her rendition! sing girl.

I forgot how raw her voice is

LOVE KELLY CLARKSON. THIS CHIC CAN SING.. AIN'T NO WAY'.

This is just phenomenal. wow

She sang that with passion

This is why I love my Kelly

that was beautiful❤❤❤

I just saw this video and I'm amazed at the comments for and against Kelly and Aretha Franklin. They are both GREAT vocalist in DIFFERENT genres and being in the biz they BOTH bring greatness vocally to the table. The sound in this video is horrid but as far as vocally Kelly put heart into that performance and it was damn impressive! Once again, it's the SOUND that horrid, bad soundman, and as far as the comment about Christina's version of this song-no comparison-Christina version was all mechanical and just belting out loud vocals and going through the motions but Kelly sung from her heart-2 thumbs up to Kelly for her rendition and 2 thumbs up to the Queen of soul, Aretha's rendition and even Christina's version-all GREAT vocalist!

I saw kelly and knew it would be good love 🇯🇲

rip Queen Aretha, props to Kelly

This is my favorite Aretha Franklin song alone with Chain of Fool and Kelly Clarkson put the smack down on this one. Aretha would be proud.

THAT'S MY GIRL!! SAAANG KELLY!!!

She slayed that song 😳

she killed it, amazing

Damn, she literally can sing anything

Cristina Aguilera & Kelly Clarkson got the white soul thang on lock!

Luv this women!! A true natural talent 😘

I would love to hear her sing this today. Unlike most, Kelly's voice has only improved with time. She's not human.

Best gritty soulful sound ever of Aint NO Way❤😊

I'm not a professional critic, but I must say she 'SANG' this from the bottom of her heart and it was amazing. Better than The Queen of Soul herself if you ask me and I don't say that lightly. Such a great performance.

You betta’ sang Kelly!!!!

Kelly I'm speechless she was phenomenal and amazing so much more this was great

I would go see her just to hear her sing this song.I've always said noone should attempt Aretha's songs unless they can really go there & KELLY CAN REALLY GO THERE.

Love this performance so much!

Damn! Sang Kelly Saaaaanggggg!!!! Kelly Clarkson's vocals, are out this world!!!! Her Vocal Power, Range, Versatility, Emotive Delivery is amazing!!! She can sing anything amazingly!!

Sanggggg kelly, yassssss!!!!!

Love this!! Kelly has an incredible voice!! I wish she would sing more songs bluesy like this on her album. People should request it to her!

oh my gaaaahd Kelly, you're such an indeed American Idol. supeeerb

Very nice. This one can sing. :) Bless you Kelly!

Kelly girl I love this you betta sing women

Ladies and gentlemen ! Kelly really did that !!!!!!!. Awesome !!!!!!!.. Aretha franklin. Was the queen of soul music . I remember back in the day when my parents was sit around with their company in the house on some weekends and listen to Aretha franklins songs , along with James brown who was the God father of soul and michael jackson and a whole lot more ...yes those were what they call the good old days....but believe it or not ladies and gentlemen my mom could sing just like Aretha franklin ...she actually went to the apolo and sang chain of fools and Won .my mother could really sing anything she could have been a star ....she would also sing in clubs ...she had a band as well ...and my mom could sing all of her songs ....you go kelly !!! .....Amazing !!!! ......r I p Aretha and MOM..

Damnit Kelly's turned around and gave me the goose bumps

I wish she would release more soul-inspired music like this. Kelly is one of those singers that most people do not know is a real vocalist because her singles on radio are simple pop-rock. So you have millions of kids thinking Ariana Grande is "awesome" and "best singer of this generation" etc because she can sing in the whistle register (so can kelly), but they have no clue. Kelly has that deep bass to her voice that all great females have and she has a unique smoky tone that is not common among pop stars. Maybe she can release music similar to adele or emeli sande so she can still be soulful but pop enough to be played on radio.

Kelly's voice seems to really suit Aretha's songs Now i just remembered her rendition of Respect from AI

Standing ovation!

Wow breathtaking!

Wow!!!! She did that!!!!!

She did Aretha proud!!! F*** the Rest!!!

since AI she love Aretha Franklin and sing most of her songs, kudos to my idol Kelly C. I am your forever fan

A force of nature. 🙏♥️🙏

Sang!!!

I wish Adele would finally cave in and collaborate with Kelly.

That was absolutely incredible 💋

How she did that without bursting an artery is beyond me!!! She is an amazing amazing, did I say amazing, singer!

Kelly is always invited to the cook out she’s a cool person

Best performance! I love Kelly’s Voice ❤️

Yaaaaaasssss!!!!

Nice job! God bless her friend for getting her to audition for AI. Hope Kelly's been good to her.

Beautifully sung,white or black no matter,soul is soul.

Most people do not know that live performances stretch the vocal creations, hanging on longer to notes, creating higher vocalized pitches and more favorable runs because you are not trapped in a studio of just 2:37 for a recording. These live performances can transform a recording into a high octane performance of skill traits that's never found on studio recordings.

Omgggg Amazing Kelly I never was a fan but you just tore this song up!

Aeeeee yehh! Get it girl! That note was stellar!

I enjoy this!! greit song and amazing singer!
