THIS !! they’re both great. with covers like these, it almost feels like trying to compare nine inch nails vs johnny cash in their versions of “Hurt” . NIN is more blatantly grim and brooding and fits their general musical aesthetic, but cash’s is more toned down, more somber, only added onto by the fact that he’d lost june shortly before recording. they’re both masterpieces in their own ways.
They're both stunning, it's just about vocal training. Kelly is classically trained, hence the vibrato during 'Alone', And Billie is more Grungy and emotionally powerful.
How can you choose?!? Really! I want to say Kelly by a hair, but I really think it would depend on my mind at the time. Kelly has the anger & anguish, but Billie has the rage!
You can’t compare the two. Sure, they’re the same song. But their singing styles are so different. Billie’s is more real and raw, But Kelly’s is more technically clean and very powerful as well. I like them both for what they are
I kind of don't understand why you say Billy's is more real it's so auto-tuned and produced it's her song and she kills it but it is 100% auto tune and produced where Kelly is just singing it with her own raw emotion as well with no Auto-Tune.experience is her production
@@rinkle396 its literally not "so auto tuned" like what are you even talking about it sounds like a real voice.Maybe there is some auto tune and you havd no idea about the Kelly and what you assuming for
They both sing the song w/ a sense of freedom. But the nuances come in how Billie sings it with the freedom of someone in self-discovery finally accepting themselves; whereas, Kelly’s version exudes the freedom of someone fighting back and finally standing up for themselves. Both absolutely beautiful and powerful!
^perfectly said. And it’s honestly what music is all about. We love songs for what they mean to us and the emotions and memories they elicit. It’s a testament to the song that it resonated with Kelly and her unique life experience despite being many life stages apart from Billie.
They give different vibes. Billie’s is more like hurt and pissed as hell and on the brink of madness. Kelly’s is hurt but resentful and on the brink of crying. Honestly for vibe, I choose Billie’s.
Kelly made the song her own. Kinda has that since you’ve been gone vibe. Billie’s original intention for the song is an anthem about teen love, while Kelly’s is like a wife finally getting a divorce.
Exactly. Like, this song resonates with so many different phases in life (the sad and tough ones). And it manages to convey what each phase throws at the person.
I think exactly the opposite!! But do understand. Kelly's is deeper, more soulful, and Billie sounds exactly like who she is, a troubled young kid...kind of psycho even, especially when she laughed. It wasn't a joke when the song was written... And being that a Foo Fighter died just then, so inappropriate...
Billie has that teenage angst, screaming in a pillow type vibe, whilst Kelly sounds more mature and tragic, her cover reminds me of adele somehow. They’re both so different and for that reason I cannot choose. Edit: thanks for all the sweet replies! Y’all are amazing
I dont understand why its always a competition. They are 2 different people with 2 completely different voices. Both giving beautiful renditions of the same song in different ways
Right??? Doesn't matter what it is...music, politics, religion, you name it...some asshole (or an entire group of assholes) always wants there to be division amongst the people.
It's not really a competition, it's just a thing saying who do you think sang it better? They are both amazing but some want to see who others think sang it better
It is the way someone sings a song is what keeps the fans happy. Emotional connection to a song always makes it better then just singing the words. You can feel it in your soul.
@@Gabriel-nw6lb I’d have to agree, I don’t think Billie’s sound is considered unique at all. The breathy soft sound is caused by poor technique and lack of breath support to fully reach the note. Artists like Taylor swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina carpenter, Anne Marie also adopt this kind of style. If anything, Kelly had a more unique style, even for the 2000’s where she peaked. I think a lot of people favor Billie for the sole reason of age and relatability. Both stood for similar things, and both got famous young. However, many girls can relate better to an 18yr old (not sure on age) than someone who’s been in the industry for decades now.
@@kirstinweber3250 Truer words have never been spoken! My nieces likes Billie, and it’s apparent. And by agreeing and saying these, we don’t mean offense to Billie. If anything, she did a great job doing what she likes, successfully as well! Just stating facts. Because sometimes, we’re afraid to face the truth, and in the course of time, we became blinded by it.
I personally found that Billie's version is what I preferred. She brings a different set of skills and and a emotional level that very few people can do
Billie's sounds like a teenager going through their first heartbreak, Kelly's sounds like someone in their late 30s going through a divorce. Both are good, just different.
NAILED it with this comment. It’s like Billie falls in love, gets hurt, sings this song……..then Billie gets older, same person comes back into her life, she lets them in and they do it again. This time, Billie gets even and puts them in their place for the final time via Kelly’s voice, which reflects clarity and wisdom. Boom. Done. Lmao.
billy has more emotions, well obviously its her song, she knows how to sing it. kelly has more power in her voice, well, shes a professional singer. i say billy bcos of the way she sing it.
@@stardewfestival billy is not nearly as classically trained or vocally skilled as Kelly what? Lol And I love em both! They're both professionals in the music industry, but not both professional SINGERS. Billie doesn't have the vocal range or control of many people. Most pop artists don't. She's not gonna outsing Kelly, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney, Celine Dion, etc
@@arcdave2735 the song is supposed to be about a person who is sick and tired of her narcissist boyfriend/ an ex. and kelly is not giving that, although the control of her voice is so good and how she belted it. but billy knows how to deliver it what supposed the song is like, because she wrote the song.
I’m pretty sure Kelly didn’t cover the song for dumb people to start comparing and saying that she’s better than Billie. She was trying to tribute Billie by covering her song. They both have different styles and singing.
Billie sang it like she's already over it and she's now happy. Kelly sang it like she was still hurting so much. Both were great, both gave me goosebumps ♥️✨
I prefer Billie, she has a special sound, but Kelly obviously also has a gorgeous voice, for me it's to different to compare. Awesome in their own way's
They are completely different styles. Can’t compare different styles that easily. Billy has more of an airy way of singing, Kelly Clarkson has more of a flowy type singing. Bille tends to put a bit more ‘sad’ vibe in her voice, it has more emotion. Kelly Clarkson here has a stage voice on, more to show her voices abilities. Now I know these aren’t like musical terms but that’s how I feel it is personally.
@@SparkyGecko Oh of course you can, but when it comes to saying which one is better it’s really just personal preference. Objectively you can’t truly compare them and say which one is better on a level that includes every person on Earth and have it be the same answer. It truly just depends on the person as some might like the emotion that Billie Eilish tends to portray. Others might enjoy Kelly Clarkson for the way she displays her voice. It’s honestly hard to compare them without having so many mixed answers that it gets confusing. Not to mention the people who would throw in a third option, it’s just difficult to compare them and not expect thirty different responses. I mean no disrespect, I just think it’s hard to properly compare completely different styles and objectively say one answer.
I absolutely love them both, but ima go with Billie here because the emotion she puts in this performance is incredible and so straightforward. Kelly’s is great as well, I didn’t even know she sang this though (lol😬). She sang it well, but it’s clear who’s it better. (BILLIE’S DUH)
It’s Billie’s song. No doubt her style and constant improvements are what make the original so good, but at the same time Kelly delivers it so cleanly and clearly that you cant not be impressed or amazed by it. Definitely a win for both singers IMO.
@@FletcherHillier kellys’ sounds like a trained, skilled & talented vocalist was performing it, instead of a singer/ songwriter who isn’t as vocally adept.
@@hueybridwell7756 If you like that then yes, I don't like Kelly's style though it's too stale. It would be easier for me to replicate Kelly's pitch perfect version but that's not the song. This is art, it's subjective and messy. Some people like reprints and some need it to be original, but most art is actual trash.
Billie was literally in her own concert... She obviously will enjoy that in her own unique way... And I liked Billie's... (Correction: It was Grammys not concert.)
@@mattyfromhell but Billie is actually able to sing and chose to deliver this in that specific way which I think differs greatly from other artists that genuinely can't sing well and just make this their 'style'. Kelly's version lacked emotion because given the context of the song she made it too traditionally sing-y (?)
@@continental.breakfast But again, that style doesn’t equal emotion. It’s a style of singing. Kelly sang from her soul, especially on that last note. Doing a generic, overdone raspy style of singing doesn’t mean you’re singing with more emotion.
@@Gabriel-nw6lb what’s cringy is that you feel obligated to say its “cringy” when you don’t know the terms that people use to describe vocals without educating yourself on the topic beforehand and making irrelevant remarks on something you clearly don’t know of
They both have their own very unique voice sound. Billie’s whispers can send chills through my body. But the way Kelly can belt is incredibly good and has always been her specialty
I love both. Their delivery matches themselves. Billie's like a teenager/young woman and Kelly's a grown woman so I can imagine different scenarios to go with their singing despite them singing the same song. Billie gives off "Leave me a lone, I just want to have fun" and Kelly gives off "Leave me alone, I just want to move on" If that makes sense.
I was about to say something stupid to this comment until o really understood what you just said. Perfect way to describe it couldn’t think of anything better
Kelly was in the middle of an ugly divorce so she definitely was feeling it - I think she even changed a line or two to fit her story. She released the full song on her 6 song Kellyoke EP - encourage everyone to listen to it (and the other 5 songs, as well as her new album Chemistry - whew! Major talent).
That's true feel the same but Kelly Clarkson gave me goosebumps and sent me back to her old music they're both really good in my opinion, kinda like natural talent vs practice
Honestly, they’re both great. Kelly has a smoother sound that makes it sound like someone who has been hurt for a long time, Billie has a raw edge to hers that makes it sound like someone who just got hurt for the first time and is a little more on edge.
I think Billie just has the intensity that comes from it being her own song. She’s also having fun. So idk, her delivery is more passionate and I like it more. But Kelly’s version isn’t bad at all. :)
Kelly sang it like a singer. Billie sang it like a rockstar. Period. Edit : I'm sorry if I didn't phrase it right. I understand rockstars are still singers, I meant that billie has the energy a rockstar would have. The emotion and energy. Kelly has the beautiful vocals and did a great cover of billies song. But immediately I thought billie sang it better. No hate at all to Kelly, I've heard her songs and they are my childhood. Just personally billie sang her song better. Xxx
Both- completely different styles and that’s what makes both of them unique and so beautifully done ♥️🥰 Let’s not compare these two amazing artists, there is only one them and only they can do it the way they do!!! 🫠😎🔥
I wish we would stop comparing artists and just appreciate their individuality and uniqueness. Focus on each of their talent. Kelly Clarkson will forever be a legend and Billie is carving her own path as well. They are both perfect in their own ways. I would love to see them sing this together.
Kelly just has a very solid mature voice that you can tell is very trained and practiced. Billie has a great young beautiful voice that I think will deepen slightly over time and she will fill out her voice a lot more with time
@@caitlynn-zj8jf So the teen is very angst they're going through a phase its almost like a temper tantrum in your pillow. Like really Frustrated. In the heat of the moment. First heart break anger. The divorce mom is like a wounded woman who is processing everything, and when a women is done that is it. Its calculated, thought out, raw. No going back.
@@SabriinaX6 thanks but hasn't billie also gone through a lot. Just because it's not the same things as Kelly doesn't mean she hasn't been hurt. Billie is only 20 I believe. She never thought she would make it to 17 though
@@caitlynn-zj8jf I am not discrediting what Billie has been through, of course young people can go through a lot of truma and mental health issues. And I'm sure she has had her share. All I meant in terms of how they cover the song that Is the feeling I get when they sing this version of the song 🎵
Kelly has the power in her voice, technically accurate and the emotion, but Billie really has this unique mysterious sound to her. She has the voice that lures me and kind of hypnotizes my heart. Hard to choose. Both excellent singers. It’s like comparing oranges and apples 🤷🏽♂️ Both are amazing!
They're too different to compare. They are two different types of artists so the sound will be extremely different. In turns of teqnique Kelly's was better but on terns of MY preference I prefer Billie's version. But Kelly's music is usually contained because that suits her voice.
@@rova1397 exactly they have 2 different sounds but cuz I heard billies first M just in love with the way she sang it thou kelly is amazing her song stronger just 😩🤐🥵 no words 🙌🏻
Kelly’s version is obviously really good but Billie has a very unique sound it’s defiant but also apathetic it’s breathy but also strong. That component fits with the song perfectly and gives it a unique essence which Kelly didn’t have.
I had to look up apathetic. Maybe the description I would have used is "also filled with pathos". But I get why you might want to say apathetic in contrast to defiant.
Kelly has better vocals but I feel like Billie’s fits better with the vibes of the song. While Kelly sounded like a precessional singer hitting a note, Billie sounded angry and upset, almost as if she’s yelling.
You can tell Kelly has more seasoning and has perfected the control over her vocals, but Billie has more passion with her song and it sounds more raunchy, so it really depends on your style :)
I think they’re both lovely, but they give off completely different emotions! It’s as if they’re both having an argument with someone, Billie sounds more mocking and unhinged, while Kelly sounds composed and steady!
Billie more rock, Kelly more like ballad…. It’s all about preference
my preference is usually ballad but i always make exceptions for billy
@@theyluvme.. good thing the start of the song is a ballad
Perfectly said
Two different moods, Billie is more raging but almost over it. Kelly is not over it, so she is sad and angry at the same time.
THIS !! they’re both great. with covers like these, it almost feels like trying to compare nine inch nails vs johnny cash in their versions of “Hurt” .

Yeahh
Yup, I said that and then saw this comment lol...I agree 100%
True Kelly is not over it
I love this. Comparing them without comparing them because they’re truly not the same.
Billie brings a freedom to it, and makes your heart fly. Kelly pierces the heart and confronts you with your hidden pain.
Deep
well said
I've only heard Billie's live version so I'll take it with a grain of salt but she csnt sing very well
Apt description
Yes daddyyyy
Billie's emotion singing the song is what makes it so good. I honestly dont think anyone could top it but that's just my opinion
The Kellyoke version on iTunes is INCREDIBLE.
sameee billie for life
same billie is obviously better
Agree
totally agree

@@hueybridwell7756 If you like that then yes, I don't like Kelly's style though it's too stale. It would be easier for me to replicate Kelly's pitch perfect version but that's not the song. This is art, it's subjective and messy. Some people like reprints and some need it to be original, but most art is actual trash.
Yes
Billie was literally in her own concert... She obviously will enjoy that in her own unique way... And I liked Billie's...
(Correction: It was Grammys not concert.)
That was the hrammys
@@Alababama0329 what? I didn't know that🥲
It wasn't a concert it was the Grammys🙂
Both amazing talents and both sound fabulous
Billie's never fail to give me goosebumps. It delivers the emotions the best for me
Kelly’s def has more emotion tho I’m confused
@@mattyfromhell how? she sounds cold and dead.
@@beth641 She’s… actually singing. Billie’s raspy, forced Gen Z indie artist voice that every “artist” seems to have now doesn’t count as emotion.
@@mattyfromhell but Billie is actually able to sing and chose to deliver this in that specific way which I think differs greatly from other artists that genuinely can't sing well and just make this their 'style'. Kelly's version lacked emotion because given the context of the song she made it too traditionally sing-y (?)
@@continental.breakfast But again, that style doesn’t equal emotion. It’s a style of singing. Kelly sang from her soul, especially on that last note. Doing a generic, overdone raspy style of singing doesn’t mean you’re singing with more emotion.
Both of them are very good. I like billies more tho, because hers is more emotional and raw. As if she’s probably singing about her own experience.
Which one do I like better? Billie’s. Which one is technically better vocally? Kelly. They are both really good but just for different reasons
Yeah exactly and Billie's voice matches more for this type of song. Kelly's great but so is Billie and especially in this genre
@@myapatterson3505 you all are literally just saying random words it's so cringy
@@Gabriel-nw6lb nah it's not random words, you just can't read carefully
@@Gabriel-nw6lb what’s cringy is that you feel obligated to say its “cringy” when you don’t know the terms that people use to describe vocals without educating yourself on the topic beforehand and making irrelevant remarks on something you clearly don’t know of
They’re both so amazing!
They both have their own very unique voice sound. Billie’s whispers can send chills through my body. But the way Kelly can belt is incredibly good and has always been her specialty
Agreed.
Kellys gives me chills.
Kelly never butchers a cover, every cover she does is amazing
@@adamsyvethe scary chills it was so strained
I love both. Their delivery matches themselves. Billie's like a teenager/young woman and Kelly's a grown woman so I can imagine different scenarios to go with their singing despite them singing the same song. Billie gives off "Leave me a lone, I just want to have fun" and Kelly gives off "Leave me alone, I just want to move on" If that makes sense.
Kelly is singing it. Billie is feeling it
best way i’ve seen it put yet
I think both were feeling it
I was going to type the same thing up 💯
I was about to say something stupid to this comment until o really understood what you just said. Perfect way to describe it couldn’t think of anything better
Kelly was in the middle of an ugly divorce so she definitely was feeling it - I think she even changed a line or two to fit her story. She released the full song on her 6 song Kellyoke EP - encourage everyone to listen to it (and the other 5 songs, as well as her new album Chemistry - whew! Major talent).
Utter chills when Kelly sang it but I love Billie regardless 😊
Billie sounds more emotional, Kelly sounds like she’s really speaking to someone
I said Billie Eilish because you can never go wrong with the original and it’s just the way she sings it. It’s a masterpiece.
That's true feel the same but Kelly Clarkson gave me goosebumps and sent me back to her old music they're both really good in my opinion, kinda like natural talent vs practice
Kelly ❤
Yeah I definately prefer Billie
Honestly, they’re both great. Kelly has a smoother sound that makes it sound like someone who has been hurt for a long time, Billie has a raw edge to hers that makes it sound like someone who just got hurt for the first time and is a little more on edge.
Both of them are wonderful, but Billie can make feel the emotions she wants to transmit.
You can't compare the two; it's obviously Billie's song. Kelly sings it technically better, but the styles they use are completely different.
Kelly is more singing and Billie has actual raw and real emotion
I can hear Kelly’s emotions, I can tell she’s singing about her husband she’s got an emotional attachment to the lyric
I think Billie just has the intensity that comes from it being her own song. She’s also having fun. So idk, her delivery is more passionate and I like it more. But Kelly’s version isn’t bad at all. :)
This song is truly genius. It captures everything it needs to.
They both are great! They both have a unique range and resonance to their voice
people always want to rank stuff.
they're both great and it's cool there's more than one option.
They both sound like totally different songs.. each of them are true artists.. meaning no matter what they sing.. they make it theirs.
Kelly sang it like a singer. Billie sang it like a rockstar. Period.
Edit : I'm sorry if I didn't phrase it right. I understand rockstars are still singers, I meant that billie has the energy a rockstar would have. The emotion and energy. Kelly has the beautiful vocals and did a great cover of billies song. But immediately I thought billie sang it better. No hate at all to Kelly, I've heard her songs and they are my childhood. Just personally billie sang her song better. Xxx
Facts
this one 👏
Love you for this analysis
The excuses
This. And I'm for rockstars.
With experience...the sound of the voice matures...it's not only this song but depth of things change when life salts you.
Billie - has a mocking emotional tone
Kelly- has hurt and anxiety emotional tone to it
Wow
Agree
Exactly
Yeah very true
Billie has a cynical tone
Kelly has a tone of disappointment and years of deep pain.
I hear and can feel Kelly's pain.
Both- completely different styles and that’s what makes both of them unique and so beautifully done ♥️🥰 Let’s not compare these two amazing artists, there is only one them and only they can do it the way they do!!! 🫠😎🔥
To me Bille sounds more like she's singing from held in rage and sadness, and Kelly sounds like she's singing out of pure sadness
They both nailed in a different way ❤❤❤❤
i like billies beginning, the whispering, the feeling of going insane over everything, but kelly’s ending was amazing
I’d say it was more like an angry whisper
Me too
I wish we would stop comparing artists and just appreciate their individuality and uniqueness. Focus on each of their talent. Kelly Clarkson will forever be a legend and Billie is carving her own path as well. They are both perfect in their own ways. I would love to see them sing this together.
thank you
Praise.
It's not comparing it's asking you about your opinion
@@chikirahmathurin5239 Asking our opinion on who did it better is literally the definition of comparing artists lmfao
It's not asking your opinion on who is better it's asking your opinion on who sang the song better
Absolutely Billie does. She gave the song will full of her heart.
She can't sing worth shit
They both are awesome.
There is NO comparison! They are both masters of their craft! Period.
Exactly 💯
Truth
Kelly just has a very solid mature voice that you can tell is very trained and practiced. Billie has a great young beautiful voice that I think will deepen slightly over time and she will fill out her voice a lot more with time
Billie : A teenage said “Leave me alone !”
Kelly : A divorce mum with 3 kids said “Leave me alone!!!!!”
What does that even mean?
@@caitlynn-zj8jf
So the teen is very angst they're going through a phase its almost like a temper tantrum in your pillow. Like really Frustrated. In the heat of the moment. First heart break anger.
The divorce mom is like a wounded woman who is processing everything, and when a women is done that is it. Its calculated, thought out, raw. No going back.
Dude.....love this comment!!!
@@SabriinaX6 thanks but hasn't billie also gone through a lot. Just because it's not the same things as Kelly doesn't mean she hasn't been hurt. Billie is only 20 I believe. She never thought she would make it to 17 though
@@caitlynn-zj8jf I am not discrediting what Billie has been through, of course young people can go through a lot of truma and mental health issues. And I'm sure she has had her share.
All I meant in terms of how they cover the song that Is the feeling I get when they sing this version of the song 🎵
Literal goosebumps with Kelly’s, but Billie’s emotion… truly amazing artists
Billies one is filled with so much emotions and i just love those last notes
Kelly has the power in her voice, technically accurate and the emotion, but Billie really has this unique mysterious sound to her. She has the voice that lures me and kind of hypnotizes my heart. Hard to choose. Both excellent singers. It’s like comparing oranges and apples 🤷🏽♂️ Both are amazing!
Wow, beautifully put
It’s more like comparing green apples with regular apples there both amazing
Kellys great but bcz billie sang it so rougly and with sass it just hits different…kellys is too contained
ong
They're too different to compare. They are two different types of artists so the sound will be extremely different. In turns of teqnique Kelly's was better but on terns of MY preference I prefer Billie's version. But Kelly's music is usually contained because that suits her voice.
@@rova1397 exactly they have 2 different sounds but cuz I heard billies first M just in love with the way she sang it thou kelly is amazing her song stronger just 😩🤐🥵 no words 🙌🏻
Both are amazing talents in their own way.
Kelly’s version is obviously really good but Billie has a very unique sound it’s defiant but also apathetic it’s breathy but also strong. That component fits with the song perfectly and gives it a unique essence which Kelly didn’t have.
I had to look up apathetic. Maybe the description I would have used is "also filled with pathos". But I get why you might want to say apathetic in contrast to defiant.
Kelly has better vocals but I feel like Billie’s fits better with the vibes of the song. While Kelly sounded like a precessional singer hitting a note, Billie sounded angry and upset, almost as if she’s yelling.
You can tell Kelly has more seasoning and has perfected the control over her vocals, but Billie has more passion with her song and it sounds more raunchy, so it really depends on your style :)
Wow, Billies' original is awesome; however, I like Kelly's natural singing ability to carry a note...it's a just a vibe!
Billie, her raw sound for the “alone” part just takes the cake and it gives more effect while Kelly’s is more vintage kinda…
Thanks for likes 🧍🏽♀️🫶🏽
I think they’re both lovely, but they give off completely different emotions!
It’s as if they’re both having an argument with someone, Billie sounds more mocking and unhinged, while Kelly sounds composed and steady!
Yep! I think it best reflects their styles
My same exact thoughts!! Two different vibes & they're both great
yesss you explained it perfectly
like billie is in the middle of a break up while kelly has recovered and is reflecting
Not to mention Kelly is standing still and Billie is performing and bopping around out of breath. These were unfair comparisons.
I’m not saying either one was bad? I love both versions!
Billie's laugh is EVERYTHING to me 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Billie is to me she was a raw emotional girl at that❤️🖤❤️🖤
Both have different styles, both absolutely killed it
Fr-
Kelly is more controlled and rounded from experience. Billies is more raw and breathy. Both are perfect
kelly is an amazing singer but this song is made for billie
👌
Yea no shit, she made the damn song
