Rain or shine, Kelly Clarkson just demonstrated that it was not necessary to have perfect conditions for a perfect show. First comes a raining shower, and Clarkson did a power performance of her new single “Where Have You Been” on the Today Show. Or maybe thumbs should be given to the rain for making this moment title-worthy.

Clarkson gave a shout-out to the people who sang in the rain with her via a tweet accompanied by a picture of herself soaked in rain but smiling cheers. And just imagine the uproar that traveled across the internet….Going on in the comments were reviews that swayed all the way back to those throwback hits to more current tear-inducing setlist choices for the Vegas shows.
Michael Wood could barely contain his excitement: “You in the rain!!! I know you love the rain as I do!” That is to say, it becomes hard to not feel a downpour performance, and Clarkson’s glad energy was pouring down. Caroline Lachapelle also gave a sincere opinion: for 23 years, she had waited to meet Clarkson and would beg for a selfie at the next concert.
Joshua Gabriel brought a moment of bliss: the rain-wet pics reminded him of Clarkson bringing down the house with the rock version of “Since U Been Gone” at the MTV Music Awards. What a moment-making analogy. Don’t forget BlairB, who fondly remembers Clarkson for performing in the rain and also for staying an extra bit, signing autographs, and taking selfies with drenched fans. That kind of closeness with an artist stays with people forever.
Initially, there were some too who missed the weather, such as Sally Jadderpam, who said she “didn’t even realize it was raining in NY” until she saw the snaps. Thereupon: ‘Great job, Kelly. Amazing as per usual!’ she tweeted. And then Dennis Wallace came in almost with some classic charm: ‘Young lady, love your music I’d sing in the rain with you anytime.’
Not just the rain had everyone talking. People really just could not stop talking about Clarkson’s vocals; The_S_Express’s Selena called her “a ray of sunshine in the rain,” naming a few of Clarkson’s hits to prove that woman is unstoppable. PJ, on the other hand, said it very well: “Your new song ‘Where Have You Been’ is Epic! Thanks for doing your own thing!”
The Today Show people seemed pretty amazed themselves with Noah Jett calling it “such a fun moment” and Chris Buono calling Clarkson “determination personified.” Because really, after seeing her just power through a downpour without dropping a note, who’d want to argue?
The only thing that could be bad about it would be if it guarantees a London stop on the tour. KellyCampaigns straight-up demanded it, saying, “Also come to London pleasssseee,” and honestly, same energy.
