I actually didn't love that "Blind" performance. In fact, my ears were more drawn to the other chick than Kelly's in this instance. Hoping for the cleansing fires I need from Invincible. But, why? It was pure and on point. I think it was set up to highlight the other performer on purpose but every note Kelly sang was just flawless and exactly how we hope she sounds every time out.

The duet doesn't really bother me, gives Kelly more room for her high notes.
Kill it!

Well I don't know what the point is in two damn duets. That just renders Kelly as a 'voice for hire' who's management will let her be wheeled out for anything, whether or not she's afforded the respect or gravitas with which a star of her caliber should be getting. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I'd almost prefer she just left it with I'd Rather Go Blind, doing two duets just seems a little beneath her.

Of course Kelly will be dueting on this song on a night when her voice sounds so damn good. They better give her all the riffs at the end.

The clarity in Kelly's voice tonight is amazing...those belts and then the high falsetto! She killed it. That woman they had singing with her tried I guess.

Was I drawn to the other girl on that performance more? Maybe because I'd never heard her before, maybe because that low, growly kind of blues thing gets me, and suits the song a little better. Kelly sounded a little hoarse to me, and there was a moment where it was nigh on unpleasant to listen to (the "revealed the tears that were on my faaace" about two minutes in). Furthermore, I think the other girl connected to the emotion of the lyric better.

Kelly was flawless tonight, I don't know why I ever worry about her voice. She gets sick like any other human being but she bounces back and sounds amazing in no time. Too bad she had to duet on Invincible, she could have really made a statement solo tonight. Meghan was not able to keep up.

Perfect vocals and runs during the finale of the song. The tone of the contestant singing with Kelly was far too throaty for my tastes and her range was too limited, but nevertheless, it was a perfect performance from Kelly.

Well, Kelly was awesome! Her voice sounded rejuvenated tonight. Much, much fresher.
I feel it was unfair to have someone duet with her on one of her own songs though. Incredibly nice, but Meghan struggled.

I just read an article with a link to the Blind performance and Kelly says how creative she feels right now because of River and she has two projects going on that she can't talk about but they are very different for her. Is that an old quote or new? Any guesses? Country wouldn't be much of a surprise. Broadway? Some kind of cover album would floor me, especially something in the vein of Etta James/Aretha/etc. A new collaboration?

Kelly sounded great on both songs tonight! Glad her voice is back!! Hearing Christina on The thrill is gone tonight made me want the two of them to collaborate together even more!

I thought so, too, when I saw her in that pretty pink dress for the first performance, but after seeing her in that unflattering and awkward dress for the second performance, I'm not so sure.
Ok, I'll give her a 2 pound loss.

Well, she f*cking slayed vocally tonight. Wish she had done "Invincible" solo, but maybe the alternation of verses/lines gave her voice the break it needed to go so hard at the end? Really fun to watch either way. She's a tremendous vocalist.

I need a Kelly/Xtina duet in my life. Can you just imagine if Kelly had done "Invincible" with Xtina tonight?

YAS QUEENS! I'm shocked they haven't collaborated yet. They both respect each other's vocals and they're both on RCA. Sia or Linda Perry would be perfect writers for it.

Miss Independent Queens! omfg!! the 2 real vocalists of our generation one is a total diva, the other one is ..well ...kelly lol look at the difference on their poses hahaha xtina was all camera ready and posed perfectly with her pop star look, while kelly looked like one of us taking pic in some random parks with friends to be posted on facebook later. #dead. wtf was kelly wearing btw? she looks better in black/darker shade with her current weight. didnt xtina just have a baby as well?? she looked great!! kelly and X need to duet ASAP. a big midtempo soulful ballad would be orgasmic. edit: just watched invincible performance. she looked better in the 2nd dress from what i can see, she sounded good. the big belt after the bridge was better than BBMA, she was flat on her high falsetto sunday night, but tonight she was pitch perfect as usual. no comment for that other weak ass girl. we r used to seeing this kind of duet from kelly. the first one on the other hand was surprising to me, that ethnic look chick's voice was as full, powerful and deep as kelly's. i was not used to that nor expecting that at all.

I'm adding the official The Voice video of Kelly and Meghan. MUCH BETTER audio and video that the one I posted first.

Wow, I think both of those duets were great. Both contestants held their own with Kelly who sounded in top form. It's crazy how casually Kelly blows the roof off a song.
