Kelly Clarkson has finally addressed the excessive backlash she and her fellow coach on The Voice, John Legend, have been receiving over their rendition of "Baby It's Cold Outside".
Their rendition, however, was not well-received...
While it's impossible to say for certain what the song was written about all those years ago, many argue that the song is an ode to sexual assault, and therefore, not appropriate for radio.
"My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry?)"
"But maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)"
"Say, what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there)"
Enter: Kelly Clarkson and Jonh Legend.
Ironically, their remake has stirred up a ton of controversy.
"What will my friends think (I think they should rejoice)"
"If I have one more drink? (It’s your body, and your choice)”
“I really can’t stay (Baby it’s cold outside)"
"I’ve gotta go away (I can call you a ride.)"
They were dragged by Dean Martin's daughter, Sharon Osbourne, and countless fans.
There was seriously an aggressive amount of backlash over this.
"Did you not hear that John and I ruined Christmas recently?," Kelly said. "I was like, 'How did I mess that up?"
"John had this idea . . . Both John and I have cut the original, we like the original, but we noticed that a lot of people didn't," she explained.
Chrissy chimed in as well, seemingly especially annoyed over the comments Sharon Osbourne made about the song on The Talk, calling it "ridiculous".
"And that you can never listen to the original again."
"I love Sharon!," Kelly replied, explaining why her negative reaction to the song was particularly disappointing to her.
"I just thought it was weird . . . I'm trying to understand it. There are so many issues in the world right now."
"The original doesn't even offend me," Kelly added. "I just was like, 'Cool, we'll do another version.'"
Let us know what you think of John Legend and Kelly Clarkson's rendition of "Baby It's Cold Outside"!
Are the new lyrics better? Or should they have left the lyrics as is?
