Kelly Clarkson turned in an impressive and awe-inspiring cover performance of “Mind Your Own Business,” a tune from Hank Williams.

Music is near and dear to many people. Everyone has their favorite genre, band, singer and song. Musical tastes are personal, and when someone criticizes or says something that could be interpreted as unfavorable about a song or a band that we like, we tend to take that personally. 

Every genre of music has avid and passionate fans. However, country music has arguably the most committed, passionate and sincere supporters. As such, there are some country music artists about whom you should not say a negative word unless you want to bring on the wrath of country music fans. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Loretta Lynn are just some of those musicians who are off-limits in terms of criticism. 

Hank Williams, a legendary country musician, is one of those performers who would qualify for that exclusive category. That also means that when trying to cover a song by one of those artists, the person doing it better bring their best effort or they will likely hear about it. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, the original American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, took a stab at a Hank Williams song: “Mind Your Own Business.” 

“Why don’t you mind your business?

Mind your own business

‘Cause if you mind your business, then you won’t mindin’ mine”

She absolutely knocked it out of the park! Her voice and the musical accompaniment infuse the lyrics with energy and enthusiasm. You could easily listen to her version repeatedly without getting tired of it. 

Kelly is such a talented musician that she can sing tunes that others simply cannot or should not attempt. She also makes it appear effortless, seeming never to strain or try too hard to hit some of those higher notes.
