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.”
Kelly shared clips of her rehearsal, and, true to her word, she messed up the lyrics several times. The blooper reel is filled with screams and NSFW words from Kelly as she struggles with the song over and over again, until she’s rescued by the song’s original singer, Jon Bon Jovi. Kelly falls to her knees as he walks onstage and tells him, “I keep saying the wrong words! I can’t do it!” He gives her a hug and says, “Come on, girlfriend!”
Kelly got more support from her fans on Instagram, who left comments like:
- “Very human😂can’t stop loving her and wow he’s still so handsome❤️”
- “You can sing everything wrong and still be amazing and Jon is fantastic!!!!💜💜”
- “How funny. So, you’re not perfect? 😂 You can not always be what you expect of yourself. ❤️”
- “I think that you did go down in a blaze of glory. That is the best thing!!!!😂”
Even when Kelly is messing up, she still sounds incredible!
