Okay. I am typing this with tears in my eyes. Ya'll know I am a huge Kelly Clarkson fan and a big weenie when it comes to sad songs. I think Kelly's voice is flawless and I truly look forward to ANYTHING she sings . . . pop, country, R&B, polka. LOL! But, when you lay THAT voice on a BIG song, you can expect to be moved. Flat out. Moved . . . to tears . . . to another place . . . to another time. And THIS performance . . . Holy Smoke! THIS rendition of Adele's "Someone Like You" is just ridiculous. I know certain country music fans and insiders giggled to themselves when Kelly earned a CMA nomination for Female Vocalist of the Year, but, in my book, she deserves that distinction in ANY category EVERY year. This performance, if you ask me, earns her just one title . . . Female Vocalist of the Year . . . period. WATCH!

Here's a first. For the second week in a row, my "Country-Fried" YouTube Cover of the Week is a cover of an Adele song. In fact, it's the exact same song. Last week, I featured Wyatt Turner's version of "Someone Like You" and, right after posting it, came across another version that a friend of mine posted on Facebook. And this is incredible! Ya'll know I am huge fan of David Nail's voice. And I am huge fan of Adele's music. Put the two together and you have THIS! My "Country-Fried" YouTube Cover of the Week. INCREDIBLE!

Adele's "Someone Like You": Chad's YouTube Cover of the Week [Video]

Singer/songwriter Adele has become an international sensation. Her CD, 21, which was essentially a "break-up" album, has sold ridiculous amounts of copies because folks everywhere are connecting to and relating to her lyrics. Last week, video from Dierks Bentley's CMT Unplugged show surfaced and included his version of Adele's hit song "Set Fire to the Rain." So, that inspired me to scope out YouTube for some more country takes on the Brit's songbook. And I quickly found this! It's Wyatt Turner's version of Adele's gut-wrenching ballad "Someone Like You." This, without question and hesitation, is my "Country-Fried" YouTube Cover of the Week.
