Track:The Climb
Looks like all the VH1 Divas lovin' is continuing post show as Kelly Clarkson joins her back-up singers, Jill Pickering and Kate Rapier, to cover Miley Cyrus' "The Climb." While hardcore Clarkson fans are quite familiar with Jill and Kate's own music, there's quite a few of you out there who probably have no clue as to who the duo are.
The lovely Jill and Kate met while attending college in Massachusetts. The story goes, they were roommates who happened to be in the same music class. One day their teacher gave them an assignment to write a song - desperate to get the assignment over, the roomies opted to team up on the project. When they presented their song to their teacher he (or she) told them that their voiced sounded good paired up and that they should consider singing together more often. Thus, Jill and Kate was born. Fast-forward a few years - the duo now support Kelly Clarkson, one of the biggest selling artists of the last ten years on the road. If you're into songs about heartache and longing from girls who provide beautiful harmonies, you should check out their latest EP, Finding My Own Way. (Review at the old Round Table hangout).
When not on stage with Kelly Clarkson, Jill and Kate find time to work on their own music. They like to give fans a little glimpse into the writing process by something they refer to as "New Song on the 17th." On the 17th of ever month (or lately whenever they get around to it), Jill an Kate perform a new song they've been working on, play one of their older songs, or even cover a song they adore (Sheryl Crow's "Strong Enough" cover). This 17th (actually 18th!) they opted for some Miley Cyrus love alongside the boss-lady, Ms. Clarkson. Check the performance after the cut - as well as a J&K original - let us know your thoughts.
