Kelly Clarkson Honors Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston

Written by Trent | Filed under Kelly Clarkson,Mariah Carey,Whitney Houston

Kelly Clarkson and Tamyra Gray cover 'When You Believe'.

Kelly Clarkson conquered Christina Aguilera’s ‘Beautiful’ so it was time to try a more difficult song. Teaming with her her former ‘American Idol’ comrade Tamyra Gray, the songbird accepted the challenge of singing Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston’s ‘When You Believe’ as she honored her favourite divas.

Belting for a Los Angeles crowd last evening, Clarkson and Gray stuck to the arrangement of ‘When You Believe’ as the soared through the octaves. However, unlike a typical karaoke singer, they actually sounded great!

Watch Clarkson and Gray’s rendition of ‘When You Believe’ below:

   I don’t know what’s been going on with Miss Clarkson lately but her performances are so boring. Girl, you’re pulling a Leona Lewis, is great to pay homage but do your thing and promote your songs instead. The singing was okay but her voice compared to Mariah or Whitney? Really? She could never! I like her but … ugh. I don’t know the other girl but she sang nicely too.

   Great Job! They did the Shoop Shoop together song a month or so ago.
   Kelly and Tamyra sound good together their harmonies were great! They didn’t try to overdue it or have a scream fest. Great job ladies!

   Although I’am a fan of Ms.Clarkson, Ms.Gray gave me the vocals. She really used her falsetto well and her transitions were great. Makes wonder why she never got any major play… well not really I know how the game works…
