Kelly Clarkson Nails Iconic Beatles Hit ‘Come Together’ in Electrifying Performance

Throughout history, there have been many memorable, beloved, and influential bands and musicians. Their work will and does live on long after they have passed away. Not only does it do that, but their influence on music and entertainment is still readily visible and heard. Of course, the band that meets those qualifications that immediately come to most people’s minds is The Beatles.

That makes perfect sense, too. The Beatles changed not only pop music but music in general. Their tunes are still heard and listened to, and they continue to be extensively covered decades after the band broke up and ceased making music together.

Kelly Clarkson can now be added to the endless lineup of musicians who have covered a tune from The Beatles. Covering a Beatles song is a monumental task. The cover will always be judged harshly up against the original. Even people who don’t love or even like The Beatles are familiar with their songs.

However, Kelly Clarkson, who has been blessed with an incredible amount of musical talent, can easily sing just about any song. And apparently, that goes for “Come Together” by The Beatles.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the original American Idol winner rocks the stage as she belts out those familiar lyrics first sung by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Kelly’s version has an almost 80s rock feel and sound. This updated version and cover are very much in the vein of someone like Joan Jett or Pat Benatar.

Once again, Kelly demonstrates that her vocals are in a class of their own. At different points throughout the short performance, Kelly reaches for, hits, and holds a handful of high notes.

Colossians 3:16: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
