Last week, multi-Grammy award winner Kelly Clarkson unveiled her stunning rendition of “Never Enough,” with Entertainment Weekly asserting “The Greatest Showman’s power ballad is in good hands” and People Magazine declaring “Kelly Clarkson might just be the Greatest Show-Woman… the original American Idol used her million-dollar pipes to tackle ‘Never Enough’ and the results are, as predicted, enthralling.”
Prior to Clarkson’s Reimagined smash, Panic! At the Disco released their rework of “The Greatest Show,” lauded by Billboard as “a triumphant rendition.”
“The Greatest Showman – Reimagined” also came accompanied by P!nk’s chart-topping version of “A Million Dreams” and the “A Million Dreams (Reprise)” performed by her daughter Willow Sage Hart. The two recorded together in the studio, which is featured in an incredibly heartwarming video (watch here).
