Kelly Clarkson: 'I'm in awe of Adele'
Clarkson made the comments while promoting the release of her fifth studio album Stronger earlier this month.
"Oh my God, I almost want to punch her she's so good!" Clarkson told Company magazine. "I saw her live three years ago in Boston and it was just the best gig.
"Sometimes I listen to the radio and think, 'Oh no, my generation is ruining music!' Then Adele comes on and I'm in awe."
She added: "'Someone Like You' is one of the best songs ever written."
Clarkson will release Stronger on October 24.
