In reply to the discussion: Kelly Clarkson was fantastic! [View all]toshiba783

What a ridiculous post - you obviously are an uninformed fan with no knowledge of Kelly's vocal history. Beyonce, who requires the use of an echo effect to enhance her thin voice, would top out somewhere around an F5. That's being really generous since I think she's only hit that note a couple of times live.
Kelly, on the other hand, consistently hits and sustains G5-A5 notes with out faltering. Her notes are powerful and electric and she has never felt the need to lip synch, EVER.
I will give you the fact that Beyonce, like a dog, is well trained. She's not a gifted vocalist though - she has to rely on smoke and mirrors to disguise the fact that underneath it all she's only marginally talented.

Beyonce knows how to hit notes accurately without resorting to runs to try and fake it.

I beg to differ. She overdoes it quite a lot, but she did a great job yesterday.

She has a fine voice but I still have trouble taking anyone from Am. Idol seriously as an artist.

I'm sure that within certain realms of entertainment you're quite right.

I would say that it isn't just talent though. It's also training. And Clarkson isn't as well trained

She did deviate from the original melody. But each deviation from the original was pure genius!

I enjoyed hearing "My County Tis of Thee, it's a song that seems to have been pushed aside

So (some) people here don't like Kelly because she liked Ron Paul more? Wow.

She thought that she didn't do well. If you were watching after the performance, she walked away

Indeed. Also, did you see how she acted afterwards??? So humble, so awkward. <3
