best performance of the night. HANDS DOWN. p.s. here is the HD VERSION of this performance! ua-cam.com/video/gk13LqaOhGo/v-deo.html p.s.s. here is a vocal range video of Kelly's vocals from the show! ua-cam.com/video/seqC-KRlnyM/v-deo.html
People sleep on Kelly, but this lady can kill a song in 4.25 seconds and go sit down like she just had a Starbucks latte. Bow down, diva pretenders to the throne.
Miss Independent. A song recorded under her Idol label contract. After 15 years, its finally over and she's making the music she loves. She sang M.I. to give that message that shes THAT independent woman after that label didn't let her do the music she's always wanted to make. This, Ladies and gentlement, is the true Kelly Clarkson!
Anyone else pick up on the significance of Kelly opening with Miss Independent? She just FINALLY got out of her 15-year-long contract with American Idol and released her new album on a new label, with newfound creative control! She's FREE and independent!!! She said she feels like her new album is like her debut because she can finally sing the style that is most true to who she is and who her influences were. Her new material is pure soul. Haven't heard this side of Kelly since her Idol contestant days! I'm a huge fan of Kelly's pop-rock but I've missed hearing her gorgeous vibrato and soulful inflections. Notice how she not only picked a song called Miss Independent to open this performance, but she transformed it into a soul anthem instead of the pop-rock song that it was. This is who Kelly really is, and this performance was her coming out party. Been waiting for this a long time!
I could never have said it better myself! Yup! You are absolutely correct! 🙌👏yay for Kelly!! 🥂 🍾 🎉 (I’ve been there since the day 1 American idol auditions too. I’m old ha ha)
I love Kelly so much although I feel contradicted because "Breakaway" is one of my all time favorite albums. I'll support whatever direction she chooses to go
I agree. Best performance of the night! She really lead me on to thinking she was gonna hit that high note but she didn’t ugh😂 But I’m obsessed with that growl
I loved this women's voice from the very beginning of American Idol. I knew it from the beginning that she was going to be something big. LOVE YOU KELLY!!!!!
I haven’t watched other performances but this has set the bar so fucking high. Kelly is one of the best vocalist of all time. I get goosebumps from beginning to the end. There’s so much to love about this performance!
This is the same lady who sang the Etta James classic "At Last" a capella at her initial audition for American Idol. She killed it. So happy to see her let it loose and rock the house. This lady could sing the phone book and make it sound awesome. Go Kelly!!
Kelly Clarkson!!! The one and only true AMERICAN IDOL STILL ON DEMAND!!! WE LOVE HER ..AND I think this is her first single on her new album that's after her American idol contract ended so this is all KELLY!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Watching the AMA's (2017), and I am floored/moved to witness the evolution of Kelly Clarkson (15 years in the making). I've been a fan since day 1 on AI and have followed her musical career ever since. She's achieved vocal mastery through years of experience/training; she displays a true artistic sense of confidence and control that comes with maturity. And, she's never lost her humble TX edge, now, that's how you slay an AMA performance! #best2017AMAPerformance
BRILLIANT IN EVERY WAY!!!! Her vocals slayed and her stylings for this were on point, it just said #diva in every possible way. She looked and sounded amazing!!! People should give her the respect she deserves and buy/stream her music!!!
Kelly killing it!! And shes stayed relevant! Get it queen! You already know kelly is going to be one of those og divas later on like the way we see Tina, Etta, and Aretha.
She is such a class act. She doesn’t need to be vulgar or do anything over the top to capture attention. She looked so good and her vocals were on point. This was such a fun performance and proves why she’s stayed relevant and will continue to
Kelly will always be this amazing laid back human being. I would love to meet her again. She is beautiful no matter what shape or size. Kelly I will always love you and stand by you and support You no matter what. Love You Kelly.😚
I think we all forget how good of a career she s had she debuted at the begining of the 2000s and is still doing major award show performance and her albums do well, her Beyonce and Pink are the only ones from that generation of artists that are still very present in music
It's so funny to me how she was always criticized for not using her head voice and belting to much, and now she always finds a way to add even a little falsetto/head voice run or something to every song, it's like she's saying TAKE THAT U MOTHERTRUCKER (this last frase may be read with Kelly's cute southern accent please)
Samuel Gomez Vazquez I listen to her insane riffs and runs agility lows great sense if pitch but she needs to fix her belting.... Above D5 she sounds tensed

YaSSSS Slayed the f outta mehdjdjsjss
Having seen Xtina's performance, I'd say Kelly saved the evening.
Girl has so much soul in her. A previous comment said "this generations Aretha"..........YUP.
*This ICON never disappoints LIVE!*
This separates her from many Mainstream singers!
Love me some Kelly
People sleep on Kelly, but this lady can kill a song in 4.25 seconds and go sit down like she just had a Starbucks latte. Bow down, diva pretenders to the throne.
This woman’s vocals though. She’s an absolute legend. We need more Kelly’s in the music biz! 🎶

Yes, you basically quoted her reasons for her new label
15 year contract? Damn that a long time...
I could never have said it better myself! Yup! You are absolutely correct! 🙌👏yay for Kelly!! 🥂 🍾 🎉 (I’ve been there since the day 1 American idol auditions too. I’m old ha ha)
Wow, interesting tidbit, now she's finally able to make some of her own music without having to be stuck under American Idol standards.
I love Kelly so much although I feel contradicted because "Breakaway" is one of my all time favorite albums. I'll support whatever direction she chooses to go
She just snatched all weaves with that vocal. America wake the ef up to her greatness!
Rahul Vaswani lmao yess she's amazing . Such an amazing vocalist and performer
She is better now then ever before. The best performance of the night.
She’s most definitely without debate one of the best vocalists of all time.
Loving those dramatic ass rose petals. Really adds that sassy flare!

#best2017AMAPerformance
HF Daydreamer wow. Amazing. She has been around for awhile, proof she's here to stay
2:46 It's lovely that Demi sang along with Kelly!
She’s been my favorite since I was 10 and she had just won Idol. Keep on keeping on Kelly. You’re classic.
This woman is a LEGEND. Her newest album is her best yet.
She delivered the best vocals of the night.. she is on point
AMAZING!!!! Also @ Demi singing along ❤
Yes mama!
That's why you're my favorite! 💗💗💗🙌
She's adorable! And her voice is effortlessly powerful.
Kelly is so freaking great
The voice....Kelly is really excellent singer.......!
How great to have her back!!! Kelly has everyone dancing!
Ma'am, A RESOUNDING YES.
her vocal range has me SHOOK
BRILLIANT IN EVERY WAY!!!! Her vocals slayed and her stylings for this were on point, it just said #diva in every possible way. She looked and sounded amazing!!! People should give her the respect she deserves and buy/stream her music!!!
That dress is GORGEOUS!!! Thumbs up to Christian Siriano!!!
And that, people, is how it's done! Wow! Best performance of the night by far.
Kelly killing it!! And shes stayed relevant! Get it queen! You already know kelly is going to be one of those og divas later on like the way we see Tina, Etta, and Aretha.
I love her! Her voice, her energy, that dress and the hair😍she makes everybody dance!
Kelly Clarkson NEVER makes us disappointed!
Wow. Her voice and her smile. 🔥🔥❤️
KELLY! YOU could have done Ms. Houston justice! YAS!
What was her overall range for this performance? Because those Miss Independent notes...I mean come on 😍😍
im sure someone will have it soon but if not i'll make a video tomorrow! its time for bed! ha!
More than head voice notes, her belts are so effortless. Didn't hardly move throughout the song and killed all the belts.
Highest note (head voice) is in Miss Independent though. Sounds like a B5.
It is a B5.
I picked up a low F3, a F#5 and a Bb5 head note.
She should be a new diva. What a great vocal!
She is such a class act. She doesn’t need to be vulgar or do anything over the top to capture attention. She looked so good and her vocals were on point. This was such a fun performance and proves why she’s stayed relevant and will continue to
Absolutely best vocal performance!!! All in all good show, historic collaboration with P!nk and then this killer solo! Kelly is QUEEN!!!
I can not get enough of her since the first time I ever heard her on American Idol.
Kelly will always be this amazing laid back human being. I would love to meet her again. She is beautiful no matter what shape or size. Kelly I will always love you and stand by you and support You no matter what. Love You Kelly.😚

Kelly you were great last night. You looked beautiful. Hugs. Peace
She is a legend and her voice sounds the best it ever has. Rough, rugged, powerful and amazing.
Beautiful voice and presence!
This is a star do doing what she was born to do!!
Kelly is on a tier reserved for artists who can sing live and sound as good as or better than their studio recording! So much freaking talent!
She effortlessly just destroyed the building, well damn Kelly!
This is that walk away swag I love it
I think we all forget how good of a career she s had she debuted at the begining of the 2000s and is still doing major award show performance and her albums do well, her Beyonce and Pink are the only ones from that generation of artists that are still very present in music
She's one class act!! Never fails to amaze with her beautiful voice and stage presence. You rocked it girl!!
The new song- "Love So Soft"- has this ZZ Ward vibe to it that I am in LOVE WITH!!!!
Awesome Performance.. Thank U Kelly Clarkson
Cheers
Paul And Sandy
I love that she dances to her own music. Shows that she really enjoys what's she sings
It's so funny to me how she was always criticized for not using her head voice and belting to much, and now she always finds a way to add even a little falsetto/head voice run or something to every song, it's like she's saying TAKE THAT U MOTHERTRUCKER (this last frase may be read with Kelly's cute southern accent please)
❤️ her, wish I could sing like her!
Her voice is magical! 😍😍😍
best miss independent performance. EVER
OMG did THE Kelly Clarkson just heart my comment...? I can't even!
I love how she fluffed the lyrics on MI and gave her background singers a little glance. LOL
When i thought technique in pop was dead i find out kelly klarkson amazing voice and technique and her new album is fire
So Hyang And Highnotes exactly
You must listen Tori Kelly
Samuel Gomez Vazquez
I listen to her insane riffs and runs agility lows great sense if pitch but she needs to fix her belting.... Above D5 she sounds tensed
So Hyang And Highnotes this album is legit omg. Is everything.
Waaaa. So beautiful. I mean, both she and the songs are beautiful.
Love you Kelly Clarkson. Such a powerful voice. Love it
Love Kelly's hair here ❤️. The audience is feeling it too 😊 the atmosphere is so lively
