Kelly Clarkson truly gave it her all on her swelling Adele cover of “Rolling in the Deep” on Wednesday’s (June 30) Kellyoke.
The stage lights of The Kelly Clarkson Show matched the tone of the dark blues-y tune, but Clarkson’s slow-burning vocals set the show ablaze when she hit the chorus (with the help of her backup singers), “We could’ve had it all (You’re gonna wish you never had met me)/ Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)/ You had my heart inside of your hand (You’re gonna wish you never had met me)/ And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep).”
“Rolling in the Deep” was released as the lead single of Adele’s sophomore studio album 21 in 2010. The song earned the British singer-songwriter her first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and two out of the six Grammy Awards she won in 2012 for song of the year and best short form music video.
Within the last four months, the inaugural American Idol winner has also covered Adele’s “Water Under the Bridge” and “Send My Love (To Your New Lover).”
