Queen Kelly Covers Queen Adele's "Someone Like You"

The sky has opened up. The oceans have parted. Queen Kelegend Clarkson has finally covered "Someone Like You" and brought peace on Earth. 



Kelly kicked off the first date of her Australian tour last night in Brisbane. Before launching into SLY she told the crowd "I've actually been avoiding this song. Literally every fan request has had this song on the list. I've been avoiding it because Adele might be one of the best singers of all time. It's very hard to cover people that are rad. It was also a big moment in her career, but I think it's been long enough. So, I think it'd be cool to do this song in honor of her. Hopefully I do it justice and I don't suck."

What do you think, ONTD? Love it? Hate it? Her vocals are heavenly, especially on the chorus. I love the way they changed up the arrangement instead of making it a typical piano cover.

Edited with a better video!

Her vocals are heaven-sent and her covers are flawless. I saw her live and she did a cover of Seven Nation Army. When I heard she was gonna be doing it, I was like EWW WHAT but then she did it and I was like floored at how good it was lol.

Yasssss her SNA cover is RIDICULOUS. <3
mikeblitzz 26th-Sep-2012 03:01 am (UTC)
omfG I need to look up a good quality recording of it, the security at my venue was full of assholes.
red_rapture 26th-Sep-2012 12:49 pm (UTC)
Whoa, she has a Seven Nation Army cover? brb...
amor143x 26th-Sep-2012 02:57 am (UTC)
Ugh. Forever pressed she did No Scrubs instead of my Robyn request in VA.
chih0e 26th-Sep-2012 03:28 am (UTC)
A Robyn cover would be cool... Call Your Girlfriend or Hang With Me or Indestructible.
amor143x 26th-Sep-2012 03:37 am (UTC)
Yeah. I requested Call Your Girlfriend for like 3 weeks lol

Can we talk about how her label is putting "Get Up" for sale on Amazon when it's obviously for free via the Pepsi site? I just hope it really isn't the single for her "new album" aka greatest hits album.

these_eyes_lie 26th-Sep-2012 03:10 am (UTC)
Yeah, idk wtf that's about. I highly, highly doubt this will be used as a single for her GH. If anything it might be on the album as a bonus track, but the lead single? Nah.

There's a rumor she might be performing the song live at a game at some point soon, so maybe RCA thought they'd capitalize on the performance and have it on Amazon so people can buy it after.
junemeaugust 26th-Sep-2012 03:52 am (UTC)
I hope! ...I do love the song haha.
