Kelly Clarkson Wows with a Cover of Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off"

I absolutely love it when singers cover the songs of other singers, especially when it's done right, and in Buffalo last night, Ms. Kelly Clarkson did a fun interpretation of Taylor Swift's Shake It Off. Swift's newest album, 1989, drops tomorrow and the young superstar couldn't have been more excited about the performance:

Swift tweeted the video, adding "Watching Kelly Clarkson SLAY "Shake It Off" is an excellent way to celebrate 26 HOURS TIL 1989!!!"  Nice!  You go Taylor....and Kelly!  Now, everybody,

And the players gonna play play play play play 

And the haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate...

Woof! P!nk covers "Killing Me Softly"

Ooh, P!nk just keeps impressing me and making me love her even more. In the past, she's done awesome jobs covering some of her favorite songs, from Madonna's Lucky Star to ACDC's Highway to Hell, Aerosmith's Janie's Got a Gun, and the Divinyl's I Touch Myself, and now she's added another cover to her repertoire.

Killing Me Softly is one of my favorite songs of all time, both Roberta Flack's original rendition and the Fugees' funkdified version really got me going, and now I have a new version to love.  During a recent Sydney show, our favorite singer/songwriter treated her audience with this gemerific version of this great, great song, and I think that she does it so well, she should record it.  What do you think?
