BREAKUP SONG
Although it’s been several years since her divorce from Brandon, it seems that Kelly is far from over their turbulent relationship.This morning on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the American Idol winner performed a cover of the song “abcdefu” by Gayle.During her performance, she changed some of Gayle’s iconic lyrics to suit her past relationship.
Her lyrics said: “Forget you and your dad, and the fact that you got half, and my broken heart turn that into art.”The original lyrics are: “F**k you and your mom and your sister and your job and your broke-ass car and that s**t you call art.”
She also took out the curses in the song to make the lyrics daytime television friendly.
