Everyones getting in on the latest frenzy around Madonna even Kelly Clarkson.
The night before Clarkson performed the national anthem at the Super Bowl where Her Madgesty performed the halftime show, American Idols original winner got into the spirit of the weekend and performed a lovely, lilting, guitar-riffing cover of Madonnas No. 1 hit from 1984, Crazy for You.
It was actually a fan request: Before each tour date, Clarkson has been soliciting her concertgoers for songs that she should cover. On this particular Saturday night stop in Bossier City, La., Clarkson did a cover of her own choice first Florence and the Machines Heavy in Your Arms before segueing into Crazy for You. (Its all fitting, considering how Clarkson got into the business, right?)
Rather delightfully, she put her connection to the song into context for us. This is like a couples-skate song! Clarkson says in the middle of Crazy for You. At the end of her performance, she explained, You know how when you hear a song and it brings you to a moment? she says. I was totally at the skating rink thinking of Michael Webb whatever! Soanyway, I hated junior high and high school. I was that kid that never fit in. Wat wat! Awwww.
Clarkson has recently covered such favorites as Hearts What About Love and Coldplays Fix You in concert, but for now, enjoy her take on classic Madge:
