Kelly Clarkson is a Goddess!!


Thursday, January 26th, my sister and I went to see the Kelly Clarkson tour at the Wang Theater in Boston. We had so much fun as we were sitting next to this guy who was obsessed with her and was hilarious. The audience stood the whole time and sang along to everything. She seriously might be the cutest person ever as evidenced by her funny conversations with the audience. She also has good taste as she admitted that she wants the Patriots to win the Super Bowl. (I believe she is singing the national anthem at it). Below is her setlist that she had the fans help put together. She is such a fan friendly artist and wanted to put together a tour where she sang everyone's favorite songs. I can't even pick a favorite Kelly Clarkson song because there are so many that I love. She now has five albums and they were all represented in some way. I have no idea how she can sing this many songs every night and make them all sound incredible, but she achieved it.

Here are videos of my favorite performances of the night. Everything she sang was amazing so I picked the ones that were a little different sounding or some special covers I hadn't heard before.

1. Never Again
Kelly listened when one of her fans advised her to sing this song with a piano. The result sounds much better than when she released it as a single. A lot of the audience picked this as their favorite song of the night.



2. Heavy in Your Arms (cover of Florence and the Machine)
I love Florence and the Machine but I had never heard this song before. I guess it is from the Twilight soundtrack. Anyway, both versions (Florence and Kelly's) are amazing so if you haven't heard this song before either, I suggest you check it out.



3. I Know You Won't (cover of Carrie Underwood)
I adore this song from both singers but I love hearing a new take on it. Kelly's version is a bit bluesier than Carrie's. She said that the second she heard Carrie sing it she wished it had been her song. Both versions are lovely.



4. What About Love (cover of Heart)
Kelly said she likes to make each concert a little bit different and surprising, so she takes one fan request per show. For our show, a fan requested this song on Twitter and Kelly delivered. Give it a listen.
