She really gets the song - the intonation compared to the original is quite close. Great performance - there is a reason she won season 1 of American Idol.

@@Buc_Stops_Here She would have won every season if she was allowed to participate. I think she is the best pop / ballad vocalists currently on the planet. (and has been for a while)

Olivia did it better though. But this was great!

@@avensnow I very much hope you're not talking about her live performance at the grammy's, that was abysmal if you ask me. Like a lot of modern singers, she simply couldn't sing the thing live at all. Meanwhile Kelly knocks the song out of the park, in terms of power, technical ability and raw emotion. Extremely precise with phrasing and perfectly in tune, which seems impossible for a live performance. I can imagine Olivia Rodriguez having a different style, a unique voice that is very different that you might like. Ofcourse she also wrote the song, which is a great thing to do as well. If you prefer her version on the album, I can somewhat understand for these reasons. However, what I've seen her do live was amateuristic at best.

@@pinobluevogel6458 I haven’t seen Olivia perform live! Now I’m curios

😭😭😭😭

I think it's uncle Fester lol 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

😆😆😆

Good to see that his nose grew back a little

Is it not Nosferatu?

And singing it 1000 times better

​@@ulphil08 Olivia is a good singer but Kelly has much more experience as singer and her skills are better. It's normal.

Another one that can't come up with originals. Ewww!😊

yeah no..@@ulphil08

@@poprostumilcia3836 yeah true in a technical way. but felt like the cover lacked personality a bit idk

A lot of the drop outs have had good careers

Randy Jackson: you can sing the phonebook

Um she's an artist that's what s8ngers do it ain't nothing new or news

@@ro-fz1jt well there are a lot of artists that can only sing certain type of music. Kelly is very versatile

metal, the scream growl type ahahaha

​@@ro-fz1jt Um, it's called having a range 😒 Take your know-it-all ass somewhere else.

It is now but not as a track. It got uploaded like a podcast.

For fuckin real

Yes. But i can't play it on my playlist

​@@lokitranquil5176 one of the reasons why I use youtube music😅

If you have KZfaq music you’d be able to stream it like a regular song lol

Very beautiful

Yes! Production value, impeccable. A true professional ❤

That was more than 20 years ago, she has come a long way so nice then

No this isn't why

In situations like this, the songs are PRE RECORDED! It’s just what shows do to make sure there is no goofs!

10000x better? It's good but the original had more feeling

@@andycarpenter3650 I could agree that the original felt way more personal for Olivia (as it should) than it does with Kelly. I just get way too excited when she covers some of my favorite songs.

😂❤Sam 🇱🇷🖤Angie 👽🇬🇧

I feel like it's rude to say a cover is 10,000x better than the original

@@kpopggfan2524 I feel like you’re extremely sensitive. I very clearly said how much I love the original song.

Same

Me too!!

And you say you've Listened to the original a Lot of times obviously not

@@ro-fz1jthey maybe stop being hateful in everyone’s replies it’s not helping anybody :)

What joke?

Trevor Noah made a joke that if anyone went over a certain time limit on speeches, the punishment would be Kelly covering one of their songs better than they ever could.

Omg!! Me too😂😂😂

Same! Haha.

we, her all time fans, have known it for the last decade but I loved that joke.

I prefer Olivia's version honestly

I prefer Olivia's version too. It's OK to do others covers, but this is starting to become cringe. It's giving the whole I can do it better than you vibes. Shes covering every damn song out there and its not cool!

@@kittkatt032That’s how she opens her show! She’s playing to her strength as a singer and setting her apart from how other talk show hosts open their shows which is usually some sort of monologue. She usually chooses songs that she’s a fan of and those artists themselves are flattered when she does. The difference is, a lot of the time, vocally, she is just better than them. No slight to them, it just is what it is. It’s not her fault their voices aren’t as strong as hers.

No. Damn good but lacking the emotions of the original

​@@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm Emotions are subjective. In my opinion Kelly is an excellent emoter and she showed it this performance.

She looks gorgeous here as well!

No, it's not her song. It's Olivia's song and whoever wrote it. This is cringe covering everyone's damn songs.

@@kittkatt032 Nothing cringe about covering songs. Artists typically love when people do so.

? Lol

I prefer that building in Olivia’s version, but I also agree with you. Lol

Olivia's voice is very pretty for someone who's "talking"

No she doesn't the original by Oliv is better and Lots of original s I ngs are better then the copys

Olivia just has no vocal talent. She just screams. Far overrated. But everybody has their own opinion. I don’t think Olivia would be noticed or in the public eye if she hadn’t started first on Bizaardvark.

@@carleym4579thats not objectively true.. Liv has a lot of vocal training and to be at her level of control it requires talent, discipline and a lot of work c:

@@lagrimas.de_flor sure because she uses heavy auto tune and reverb. You can literally hear it. She sounds nothing like that live. The only thing she has is breath control, but that isn’t what makes you a good singer. She’s not competitive in a sense. She’s nowhere near where the other artists in her age group are at. Tate is far more ahead. Sabrina is insanely popular, Natalie can hit some impressive notes but also needs work on her control and I think her songs would be better if mixed a little differently. Jessie Murph, has such a unique sound and it’s very pretty, breath control is there, and she can hit some riffs I’ve never seen before like Tate. Olivia’s songs fall flat and are not even remotely close to the standard being accepted nowadays

By Peter Brenner.

Nope. It’s all Olivia
