She got help from a very special friend.
Kelly Clarkson is known for being able to sing truly anything, as she’s proven time and again during the Kellyoke segment on her daytime talk show. She’s brought the original artists to tears with her renditions and has made them swear to never sing their own song again.
But on the June 6 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the original American Idol revealed the song that defeated her. Judging by the clip she shared on social media, she just might be right!
Kelly shared a video on her Instagram page and said, “That is the song that almost killed me. Not even cause I can’t sing it. I just can’t read, whatever. That was ‘Blaze of Glory,’ written for the movie Young Guns 2. It won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song in 1991….I grew up on that song. I know that song. But in rehearsal, I messed it up, like a gazillion times. Not even cause I wasn’t hitting the notes. I just couldn’t read. It got so ridiculous that I just had to let it go, like Elsa, for a minute. And then I had someone come rescue me, that’s right.”
