Kelly Clarkson Fans Applaud Singer’s ‘Beautiful Rendition’ of Coldplay Classic
Kelly Clarkson wowed fans with another stunning Coldplay cover.
On the Oct. 25 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the talk show host performed the band’s song “Always in My Head,” the opening track of their 2014 album Ghost Stories.
The ethereal, emotional breakup ballad was the perfect song for Clarkson, 41, to tackle, with her powerful vocals adding more dimension to the classic.
Clarkson’s rendition got plenty of praise from fans in the YouTube video’s comments.
“She did it so perfectly! I love it! Yes Queen!” someone remarked. Another commenter wrote, “Such a beautiful rendition but come on [it’s] Kelly Clarkson! What else would you expect! Phenomenal!!!” A different fan added, “Kelly’s version gives me a relaxing vibes, she’s amazing 👏.”
One fan had an emotional reaction to it, sharing, “I can’t explain it, but she reminds me of things I’ve lost and things I’m hoping to find again.”
Previously, the singer performed a goosebumps-inducing Kellyoke cover of Coldplay’s “Magic,” from the same album that “Always in My Head” is featured on. Much like her latest pick, “Magic” is an emotional song about still harboring feelings for a past love.
Ghost Stories, which was written while frontman Chris Martin was going through a divorce with Gwyneth Paltrow, seems to have resonated strongly with Clarkson, who recently put out an album themed around her painful divorce from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, titled Chemistry.
Clarkson has often gravitated towards emotionally charged songs that tackle heartbreak for Kellyoke, including Gayle‘s “abcdefu,” Katy Perry‘s “The One That Got Away,” and Adele‘s “Rolling In the Deep.”
