When can you change the lyrics on song covers? Ask Kelly Clarkson | Rebecca Shaw

I'm usually opposed to replacing words when an artist covers a song - but there is room in my heart for satisfying revenge

I can't hold a tune to save my life, so I don't know for sure, but I imagine there are a few things that strike fear into the heart of singers. Losing their precious voice, for one. Not getting enough attention (can't relate). And then there is ... Kelly Clarkson covering your song.

A practice that began when she was touring, taking cover requests from fans, Kelly Clarkson now has a daytime talkshow in which every episode she does Kellyoke and covers a song she loves. Why, you might ask? It's simple - because she can, and also she should. She's amazing at it. I'm not saying every time she does a cover she makes it her own, but she definitely shows everyone what your song sounds like when it's belted by one of our greatest living singers.
