Kelly Clarkson Performs “Crazy on You” with Heart: Watch
Kelly Clarkson took on Heart’s timeless classic “Crazy on You” on the latest episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, where she was joined by Ann and Nancy Wilson themselves. Watch the performance below.
Before launching into the cover, Ann Wilson told Clarkson that “Crazy on You” was the “first song I ever recorded as a singer in a studio,” adding that her vocals came from “feeling” because she didn’t have “a bunch of technique yet.”
“I definitely felt how to say certain words, how to jump in early sometimes,” Wilson said. “How to blue note things. Just feel that kind of stuff.”
Then, Clarkson belted out the song with Nancy Wilson vigorously strumming away on acoustic guitar and Ann nodding her approval. “Remember that time I got cheered on by Ann Wilson,” Clarkson said excitedly.
