If "Since U Been Gone" didn't win you over, maybe this will: Tuesday night in New York City, on the third stop of her 35-date "All I Ever Wanted Tour" U.S. tour, teen-pop sensation Kelly Clarkson covered the White Stripes, Kings of Leon, Alanis Morissette, and the Black Keys! Watch video below.
"I really love music. I like all kinds," she told a sold-out crowd of 2,500 at Manhattan's Hammerstein Ballroom [via MTV], after ripping through Jack and Meg's "Seven Nation Army." During the 20-song set she also let loose a soulful rendition of the Keys' rocker "Lies," and mashed the Jagged Little Pill songstress' "That I Would Be Good" with the Kings' mega hit "Use Somebody."

Fans sang along on songs like "My Life Would Suck Without You," the first single off latest album All I Ever Wanted, and cross-over sensation "Since U Been Gone."

The above picture is not of Kelly Clarkson. It is of one of her backup singers Kate Rapier. It is not even from the New York concert. The picture is from the concert in Uncasville, CT, last Friday.
Thanks for posting this, though. I love it. Nice article and great videos.

Kelly Clarkson rocks. She is an 'Idol' who really can sing and she's an individual in the music world - a world where so many singers and bands sound the same. ~ I adore Kings of Leon and The White Stripes and she does their songs justice. I applaud her for singing what she wants when she wants and for rocking out to her own tunes, as well. ~ .xoL.
