It’s a lovely version of one of my favorite songs from FEARLESS. Kelly really gives it a different power – I like her slightly raspy voice. She sounds like the material has really brought her pain. Taylor’s original is pretty and sad, but Kelly’s is PAINFUL. Love it. There’s no reason not to like both versions. . .

I’m puzzled about why Clarkson would cover Taylor. Just because she’s popular? I like Taylor’s soft vocals in her version better. Clarkson is a better vocalist but she’s a power pop rocker and on this song she sounds forced and uses too much vibrato. Taylor is more of a middle of the road than a power singer and she does a good job telling her stories.

Observer – “I also want to say, that’s the voice God gave her” – I agree but usually if God didn’t grant you with a good singing voice, you aren’t going to make it as a singer yet somehow Taylor did…that’s what I dont’ understand. Please note, I’m saying Taylor is not a good singer, however, I’m not taking anything away from her songwriting abilities. I think she is a very talented songwriter and I do agree with Tawny Tucker in the fact that there is something special about the person writing the song singing it. I think it does add something to the song to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth, even if that horse can’t sing a lick.

Thanks for posting this! While I respect Taylor as a person and artist, it’s clear that almost anyone blows her out of the water wth vocals. Kelly is an extremely gifted and expressive vocalist; hearing covers like this only make me wish that Taylor was a better vocalist.

yeah, well I fail to see a genre difference in it from one singer to the next.. it is what it is.. I suppose it’s a bluegrass type song.. I like this version better for sure.. nice job.
