Watch Kelly Clarkson Perform Judy Garland’s ‘Over The Rainbow’ As Fans React: ‘This Is The Best Version I’ve Heard’

A whole host of singers have performed Judy Garland’s “Over the Rainbow” from the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz. But the internet believes Kelly Clarkson‘s rendition, which she performed during Kellyoke on the April 5th episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show eclipses, them all!
Dressed in an all-black ensemble consisting of a black long-sleeved sweater, a black Citizens of Humanity buttoned midi skirt, and black Gucci platform sandals, the 41-year-old “Since U Been Gone” singer left the audience speechless as she performed the iconic song during the popular Kellyoke segment.
The song actually has a special place in the mom-of-two’s heart, as she revealed back in 2017 that she sings it to her daughter River Rose, who she shares with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.
“She’ll always cut me off and go, ‘Birds, mommy, birds.’ She always wants me to get to the bird part,” Clarkson told Today back in 2017. We assume the lyrics River was referring to are: “Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow; why, then, oh why can’t I?”
