And when I try to do it, I'm like

Well, probably NOT impossible; but won't be the same. I've never really heard someone having Kelly's belt (someone pointed out that her voice gets stronger the longer she holds a note; it's like that crescendo note in CMB for example).

And mess; I tried in the shower to sing Stronger but ended up sounding like a dying frog croaking.

I had the same feeling. I didn't know a word in English when I heard Kelly but I loved her and I knew I will stan hard for her. I remember sitting down with a dictionary to find out what the title means

I did that, too I even tried to translate Since U Been Gone's lyrics once, but I failed miserably

YFM is cute but I always thought it sounded like a Hilary Duff leftover.

Exactly. That's what I thought when I said that it could be sung by anybody.

The only existing performance of YFM that was recorded.

Thanks, Edge.

I think some artists would do Kelly's song justice. But not teens sitting in front of screen pretending to be singing. It's gonna take a lot of practice. I could see some artists from my country being able to sing every song with the right notes.

@mandym I would have tried to translate lyrics myself but it I had no way to know them. I had my first PC in 2007 and 3 years later I started searching for them successfully. The only lyrics I had were for BTHE (in English book) and Never Again (in popular polish magazine). The article about MD and fight with the label was the last Kelly-related thing I saw there.

Love her performances at the Reba tribute! I people can hit the notes that Kelly can it's just having the qualities in her tone etc also.

Hey, does someone know where I could download Kelly's cover of A Natural Woman but not the American/World Idol performance but the studio one which is a bonus track on Thankful?

I had them because someone bought me the album, but my English dictionary was rather small and I tried to translate them word by word, hence a lot of my "translation" didn't make much sense. I had a PC, but no internet (at least I think so). I was always happy when BTHE's video was shown on Viva because that was the only way I could watch it Shortly before Never Again was released I got my first mp4-player, I remember watching Go and NA extremely often

You could search for a download of the Miss Independent Single, A Natural Woman and Respect are featured as B-sides (at least on the German version).

This is so me

I think I have That version of NW on my PC, I can upload it.

I think of buying GH:C1 deluxe edition (with MVs) but it's quite expensive. It costs 72PLN so it's 12 hours of work (6 PLN per hour). Is it worthy it? Or can I watch the old videos in the same quality on YouTube? Especially the videos from Breakaway era. I find the YouTube ones low quality.

[Nerevanin]

I just found Behind The Scenes of MLWSWY on Kelly's vevo! I think missbreakaway (or someone else) was looking for it:


But for some reason I can't watch Low and SUBG music videos and I can't even find them on Kelly's vevo page.

I wonder why they prevent non-American users from viewing it?

Well, I don't really care about Low but SUBG?! For real? **** off. I would understand if TTWLI wasn't uploaded because of the scenes from Love Actually and so on but why SUBG???

[Eyarimu]

Wow! TIU crossed 1m views mark. Nice for a country song.

I was looking for the 7 minute making
of video that was on the AIEW dvd, but still thanks In German, people can't watch on vevo because youtube
and vevo are fighting with the company that protects licenses and artist's rights. But the licenses are so insanely expensive that youtube refuses to pay, so they don't get one and are not allowed to show any music videos. They've been in court several times because of that and it's been going for years

Oh, I thought you were looking for the one I posted. I honestly have no idea what "7 minute" you are talking about so that probably explains why I misunderstood.

Oh, that sucks. I hate when something like that happens because normal people like us suffer from it.

Way to monetize people's time, faceless corporation.

I guess some people are lucky.

The 7 minute video was included on the Deluxe Version of AIEW. There were two videos on it: Making of the album and Making of the MLWSWY video. However; I only found the Making of the album video, the other one was taken off youtube because it's part of the dvd.
