Clarkson's cover of "I Still Haven't Found..."

[Edge_Orchestra]

Kelly Clarkson's coffee shop like cover of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".

YouTube - Kelly Clarkson - Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (U2 cover)

Good for what it is, I suppose. But hardly as passionate as the original.

I don't think I like it! but I usually enjoy cover versions.. thanks for posting!

 

[bono_212]

It's a fairly predictable cover version. It doesn't do anything epic or offensive. Meh

 

[corianderstem]

But hardly as passionate as the original.

Would you expect any cover to be as passionate?

I like Kelly a lot, but I can live with not hearing this cover.

 

[LemonMelon]

Best part about Still Haven't Found is Edge, and he is, of course, absent. Otherwise, it's pleasant enough, but I flat out dislike Kelly in her Because Of You mode.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Please do.

 

[U2DMfan]

The best part of this song is the original vocal on the album (as well as the guitar).
At least Kelly sings it in the original key.

I like it. Of course, I like things that sound good apart from posturing or sycophants who refuse anything that isn't warbly, talk-singing Bono, who has to go a half-step down because he can't carry the song anymore.

This is probably the only you're going to get for this in EYKIW, so I'll give you a few more

It's not so bad....I like the organ part, at least she respects the song....

 

[bono_212]

Please do.

[Slapnutz]

It's so bland and inoffensive it's hard to praise or criticize.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I was hoping this would be about Jeremy.

AGREED


I actually really really liked it although ISHFWILF is probably my favorite U2 song if I had to pick one which I hate to do

 

[The Disciple]

It was nice.

 

[Earl-Of-IMDb]

not bad hummm

 

[Mr. V]

I was hoping this would be about Jeremy.

 

[nielsgov]

Not very special.

i will also give you some

 

[U2girl]

I never liked the original Bono vocal take on the album.

 

[Peterrrrr]

 

[pepokiss]

At least Kelly sings it in the original key.

.

so you're saying Bono sings like a girl?

 

[Cin]

I was hoping this would be about Jeremy.

that's the first thing I thought of too.

Kelly Clarkson has said in numerous interviews that she's a U2 fan. If she wants to cover one of their songs, that's fine with me.

Breakaway is one of my guilty pleasures albums...one of the few that I like every song on it.

I won't.

Why does everyone always have to complain about Bono's voice? He sang the album version when he was 26! And he had studio "help" to make his voice sound even better. Plus, Lanois made him sing at the top of his range (without going into falsetto). No artist can sing constantly at the top of his/her range night after night - so of course Bono will scale the song down. Given that the crowd loves to sing with it, I'm glad too - I can't hit those notes!

So stop with the Bono bashing. It wasn't necessary at all in this thread.

If you like Clarkson's version - and it was fine - great. She is a very gifted singer, possibly the best found on "American Idol". It's great to see her do this song. I'm not sure I'm ready for an Adam Lambert version.

 

[Yahweh]

Very boring cover of the song...never hits a peak but not the worst Ive heard.

Could be worse......

Do not want. Oy, not in Cher's range. That was pretty hideous.
