Kelly Clarkson and Garth Brooks’ breathtaking cover of ‘Shallow’

Kelly Clarkson and Garth Brooks stunned fans when they teamed up for a breathtaking duet of Shallow, the chart-topping song made famous by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in A Star Is Born.

In 2019, Kelly Clarkson surprised fans attending her “Meaning of Life” show in Green Bay, Wisconsin with a show-stopping cover of “Shallow,” the 2018 Grammy and Golden Globe winning song, originally performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in the hit film A Star is Born.

“This chick is amazing,” Clarkson, 42, said of Gaga, who co-wrote the song for the romantic that she starred alongside Cooper.

“This song, I love it…I thought she and Bradley Cooper did such an awesome job with this song, it’s called ‘Shallow’ and so we’re doing to do our own version of it because obviously I don’t have a Bradley Cooper here.”

“I hope I don’t suck, and if I do, I hope she doesn’t see it,” Clarkson added, according to People.

Her cover was seen by millions of fans, who praised her “effortless vocals.”

“She sings it like she wrote it herself!!! Beautiful,” shares one fan on Clarkson’s YouTube clip.

“This cover still gives me chills. Simply the best,” shares a second, while a third jokes: “Is there any grammy category for covers? You did a great job Kelly.”

Jam session

Then, a couple of years later, country music icon Garth Brooks stopped by the Kelly Clarkson Show for a jam session with the host.

But first, the “Dive Bar” singer told Clarkson about his 2020 duet – “Shallow” – that he performed with his wife Trisha Yearwood.

“I actually saw y’all do this [on Facebook] – it was live in the moment. You were doing some live thing. Is that how it all started?” The American Idol star asks her guest, adding that the song is a highlight of Brooks’ album, “Fun.”

Brooks, who turned 63 on February 7, explains that “somebody requested that him and his wife sing the duet on his Facebook Live show.

“Miss Yearwood knew what she was doing, so I was like, ‘Oh, crap.’ I’d seen the movie – it’s pretty cool,” Brooks said, strumming bars from the song on his guitar.

“It invites you in…I love it,” Clarkson gushes.

‘Fabulous’

And then the country legend invites her to sing along. “I would love to hear you sing,” he said.

“I would love to sing it with you. Sorry Trisha,” she joked. “You’re not here and if you were here, I’d sing three-part.”

After the breathtaking performance, the singer locked eyes with the camera and addressing his wife, he said: “Miss Yearwood I didn’t enjoy that,” before turning away and commenting, “That was fabulous!”

‘Musical chemistry’

The performance was intimate yet powerful. With Clarkson’s soaring vocals and Brooks’ signature storytelling tone, the two created a version of ‘Shallow’ that felt both raw and authentic. The contrast between Clarkson’s contemporary pop style and Brooks’ deep, classic country sound made for a magical blend that resonated deeply with fans across genres.

“Kelly doesn’t just sing a song, she makes you [feel] it and understand it,” writes one fan in the comments section of the YouTube video.

“The musical chemistry between Kelly and Garth is off-the-charts and I desperately want a real duet single from them,” writes a second.

“I can sit here and just listen to them sing all day. They are both so talented and have great personalities. This was so much fun to watch!” offers a third.

Another adds of the chilling performance, “As Garth began, it gave me goosebumps. Kelly came on strong and sounds wonderful. Great duo on a wonderful song. Thanks to you both.”

Kelly Clarkson and Garth Brooks’ duet of Shallow was more than just a cover – it was a moment of pure musical magic. Their voices, blending effortlessly, brought new life to a song already rich with emotion.

Keith Urban breaks down when he hears Kelly Clarkson sing her heart out

We knew we were looking at a star when we first saw Kelly Clarkson in her environment. The extraordinarily gifted singer has repeatedly demonstrated that she is not only capable of hitting high notes with her strong voice but also of delivering them with genuine, sincere emotion.

She has the ability to sing songs that most of us would never ever think to try, but when she sings from the heart, something unique happens. The natural-born star’s performance of one of her own songs on the well-known TV talent show American Idol may be the most moving example of it. For Clarkson, who was making a comeback to the American Idol stage, this was a very sentimental event.

However, nobody could have predicted the range of emotions that would be surfacing from within her—Kelly Clarkson was also pregnant at the time of this performance. The judges merely sat in front of her to watch the performance, not to pass judgment.

Thousands of people nationwide were already familiar with Kelly Clarkson’s name at the time of this performance. The 36-year-old had demonstrated to the world how powerful her songwriting was and how she could move an entire crowd to tears.

The now-pregnant former American Idol winner took the stage one more to deliver her heartfelt popular ballad, “Piece by Piece.” She sung it from the bottom of her heart, causing tears to fall down the faces of everyone in the crowd. Everyone in the room, including the judges, was paying attention. Above all, her influence was evident on Keith Urban’s cheeks, a juror. He was just unable to contain his tears.

Above all, her influence was evident on Keith Urban’s cheeks, a juror. He was just unable to contain his tears. It is well known that Kelly Clarkson has a unique ability to convey emotion through her voice. She sang her hit song in front of an emotional audience on this particular day, proving it beyond a doubt.

However, because this song is based on Kelly’s own experiences, it resonates deeply with her. Kelly has to pause the song to gather herself just a few minutes in. Additionally, this occurs twice. She manages to muster the strength to finish her act in a stunning manner.

Kelly is truly excellent; her performance was so passionate and lovely! Additionally, Keith is incredibly gorgeous on the inside and out. You have to like him. ❤. Singing from the heart is something I greatly like in performers. To be honest, I sobbed uncontrollably during Kelly Clarkson’s performance. If Kelly’s performance touched you deeply, please share this story on Facebook with your loved ones.

Meet Yazemeenah Rossi, the 68-year-old hailed as the “world’s most beautiful grandmother”

I am full of admiration for people who prove that age is just a number.

Whether the person climbs mountains, bikes, plays computer games, it warms my heart when I see elderly people challenging the general idea that age plays a role.

This woman has been called “the world’s most beautiful grandmother” for years, which may not surprise you when you see what she looks like. But she is also a perfect example of beauty not being tied to youth.


Yazemeenah Rossi, born on December 21, 1955 in Corsica, France, has been on magazine covers from around the world. You might have even come across her in campaigns, appreciating her presence without necessarily pausing to consider her identity or age.

Over the years, she has also been working as an actress and appeared in several movies such as Timeless BeautyRelevator and The Grasslands.

At the outset of their modeling careers, aspiring models often find themselves compelled to work without compensation or for nominal fees, all in an effort to construct a substantial portfolio. However, Yazemeenah’s breakthrough came comparatively swiftly, defying the norm in the industry.

The French model and actress did not begin her career in her teens like most models do — she was already over 30 when she started, and she embarked on modeling at an age when models usually retire.

Unveils secret of her beauty

Already then, Yazemeenah was proving that she did not have to be young to be a model — something she would continue to prove over the next 30 years.

”I was a mother of two kids at 20, working from home, making clothes, knitting, interior design for friends and private clients. I knew since teen that I would never work in an office or stay at the same place through all my life, so even at the time when raising my children I was very active and independent,” she said in 2020.

Although she managed to work continuously as a model during all these years, she says that the model industry remains primarily for the young.

“There was a time, some years ago, when I started to think things would gradually begin to change and we’d start to see more older models, but that did not happen. I do believe that men and women have the same concerns about growing old, although men might talk less about it. Nobody likes to see their skin give in to gravity. At the same time, growing old is something beautiful because you become stronger with the passing of time,” Yazemeenah told Vice.

“Age is definitely a state of mind. If you are connected with your inner child, you can recharge your batteries and keep that energy. You need to have a playful, adventurous, curious spirit,” she says, adding there are no real “magic tricks” to keep you looking youthful.

Many who look at this beautiful lady are convinced that she has gone under the knife. Some say that it’s impossible to look so beautiful and young when you are almost 70 years old.

“I haven’t had any cosmetic surgery so far. The idea of going under the knife when I am perfectly healthy doesn’t make much sense to me.”

Over the years, the beautiful and timeless Yasmina Rossi has been praised for accepting and embracing her appearance just the way it was.

“I take oil and use it on my skin. I put rapeseed oil on my hair. I scrub my skin once a week with olive oil and fine sugar, and I eat an avocado a day and organic meat and fish,” she told The Potion Tree.

In December 2023, Yazemeenah will turn 68.

But she isn’t going to be slowing down as she told The Daily Mail, “I will model until the end of my life,” and added “But it’s not about modeling, it’s about witnessing, witnessing beauty, energy makes us alive…”

Older women should be proud of their bodies because each stage of life brings its own unique beauty and significance!

In essence, being proud of your body is a declaration of self-worth, a stand against ageism, and an affirmation of the beauty that comes with the passage of time. It is a celebration of the journey they’ve undertaken and the strength they possess, inspiring others to embrace their own bodies with love and appreciation.

This woman is really a source of inspiration. Press the share button so your friends can also see that age is just a number!

Grandma’s final photo of granddaughter minutes before she’s killed

A woman has shared a picture depicting the final moments of her granddaughter’s life shortly before the three-year-old’s tragic passing.

According to devastating reports, Scarlett Jensen was killed in a hit-and-run on October 7, 2022. Along with her 2-year-old brother, Henry, she was being minded by her grandmother as her mother, Samantha Jensen, and father were out of town for a wedding.

Yet when the three of them were out walking in the family’s private driveway in Oldtown, Idaho, something unthinkable happened. A Chevy Tahoe came racing down the road, running over Scarlett, her grandmother, and her brother.

“My mother was waving her hands, screaming for him to stop and she tried to grab my children to move them out of the way but he was going too fast,” Samantha Jensen recalled.

“Scarlett was killed almost instantly and my mom and Henry were critically injured.”

The suspect driving the Chevy fled the scene on foot before ultimately being apprehended several miles away. He is now serving a ten year prison sentence.

“Henry was life-flighted to the children’s hospital where they found a fractured spine, six broken ribs, a broken jaw, a broken collarbone, a liver laceration and several other injuries,” Samantha told PEOPLE.

“My mom had several broken bones but was able to be released from the hospital.”

She added: “Henry spent a week in the PICU before he was stable enough to come home, and he had a full body brace on for 10 weeks.”

In the weeks that followed, the family was enveloped in grief, but there was one small moment of reprieve when Samantha found a seemingly innocuous photo her mother had taken of Scarlett shortly before her death.

“My mom lost her phone when they were hit and it took us a while to find it, so when we finally did I was going through pictures and found that one,” Jensen says. “I looked at the timestamp and realized it was only five minutes before her declared time of death, so it must have been taken seconds before the person hit them.”

According to PEOPLE, the image in question was taken when Scarlett’s grandmother had taken her two grandchildren out to get ice cream.

“When they arrived home to our back driveway, Scarlett wanted to get out of the stroller to pick flowers,” Samantha explained. “That’s when my mom took the last picture I have of her alive.”

The heartbroken mother explained that her days now differ. Some are naturally tougher than others, but the family is doing its best to tackle their enormous grief.

“Some days, it feels like I am drowning, and some days I am able to tread water,” she told PEOPLE. “My whole family is putting in a lot of work in therapy and trying to heal as much as possible. My faith in the Lord has saved my life and helped me tremendously in my healing journey.”

At first the devastated mother found it difficult to look at the final picture of her little girl. 2 years on from her passing, though, Samantha came to realize that the image is a token of a beautiful life.

“I am so incredibly thankful to have that photo,” she told PEOPLE. “It captures the peaceful feeling of her last moments, the beauty she was surrounded by when she took her last breaths. I will forever picture her happy and carefree, picking flowers with her best friend and Meemaw.”

Rest in peace, Scarlett.
