Kelly Clarkson Plays Ultimate Game Of This Or That: '80s vs. Now | Digital Exclusive 

kelly lights up a room....so genuine! cant imagine how she doesnt collapse at night! her energy level is always so high! love her and the reminders of my past life ;)

I'm 50. So definitely lived through the 80's. 1. Neither. I was a perm girl 2. Original Star Wars 3. Landline. No waiting around for a response. 4. Heartthrobs...just yes lol 5. Mixtape. I don't know how to make a playlist lol 6. What's active wear? T-shirt and shorts. Done 7. Classic Disney. 8. Developing film 9. Paul Rudd now. 10. Mall vs Online: depends what you're buying. Some things need to be tried on, touched, sat on, etc 11. Streaming 12-14... Yes, remember them all! Plus, Lisa Frank, roller skating, rainbow everything, Jams, Vans, banana seat bikes, sunin in my hair (just made it orange 🤦‍♀️), The Thriller video premiere, Luke and Laura's wedding (if ya know, ya know), Princess Di's wedding... This was fun Kelly. Thx for the memories 💜

So I was watching this video in the yoga studio at our apartments, and decided, “Hey, it’d be a great idea to make this into an ab challenge where every time she chooses 80s you do a left side plank, when she chooses now, you do a right side plank, and when she can’t decide you go back to center”…. I forgot that Kelly likes to elaborate.. a lot.. haha… which i love about her… but basically now I’m ripped 🤪😂

80s were the best to be a teenager. The 80s heart throbs are even hotter now. I'm blessed...getting both worlds into my lifetime. Kelly, you are still hot at 40!

Omg that pencil and cassette!! So many memories flashed through my mind!🥰 Thanks Kelly!❤️

Kelly has such great energy it just makes you feel like you want to be friends with her. She's the perfect talk show host!!

Happy 4-0 Kelly I will be the big 6-0 this month!!

I was born in '89 and spent most of my childhood in the '90s, yet I remember these. Also, Mum and I lived in the dinosaur age taking a while to catch up to civilisation, so we'd have these. Cassette tapes, cassette players and stereos, VHS cassettes, VHS player, vinyl, a record player, dial-up internet... Cabbage Patch Kids, My Little Pony, Jenga, Polly Pocket (I used to play with those as a child in the '90s), Game Boy, those electronic cars for kids (never had one, though), Magic 8 Ball, those Fisher-Price medical kits, roller skates, those view master things, those old slide viewers (we still have it), I loved Charlie Brown and Snoopy! Phone booths (pay phones). The list goes on!

This was great! I agree almost 100% with everything Kelly said! I'm also 39! So funny! But I did work at Blockbuster so I do miss going to rent a video, but then again I love just renting from our TV. Love this!

Kelly you just Rock. So authentic and honest! Thank you for being a light ❤️

What a great video!!! I can relate to some of the things on the video although I was born in 1990. We had some of those things going on in the 90’s too, which made me go back in time. I have no doubt that the 80’s and 90’s were the best decades and all of those who born during this time had an unforgettable childhood and teen years. I’m so glad I was born in the 1990’s.

The mixtape took lots of time and thought to put the songs in the right order and correct side of the tape. When you messed up you had to make sure the old song couldn't be heard just before or after the new song. It was a show of love to get a mixtape, which then got used until you couldn't play it anymore.

Kelly makes me happy and she is so inspiring to me love you kelly.😁🤗

Omg! When you said Lisa Frank I was like, "yes"! I always had to have my Lisa Frank folders. I loved the colorful designs. Lol! 😁

I love Kelly! I also grew up in the 80’s and I can relate so much! I feel like it would be so much fun hanging out with her and going through these lists!

Love love love this. And I have all my pictures play on a loop on my goggle home display and my tv

This was so great Kelly! I loved the 80's, so this was a lot of fun watching you. Lol I totally agree with you about the photos we have sitting on our phones! I haven't developed a photo in years. Maybe next time I will just take in the moment, instead of having my phone attached to me. Lol 🤗💖

I relate so much to all these too since I was also born in '82. So much nostalgia.

4:39 Right! Thank you for saying that

80s at heart!!!💕 Loved Blockbuster on a Friday night & running into everyone & their momma!!! I really enjoyed reading the back of the movie boxes for half an hour…… I do not miss the late fees, having to rewind the movie cassette before turning it in, or having to find a movie you didn’t turn in after lending it to a friend…..,🤣🤪

Kelly you're funny 🤣 I hope your show goes on for many more seasons. 🤗 Best wishes to you from Venezuela, South America

I'm also an '82. Happy birthday KELLY ❤️

This is the absolute best!!!! The photo thing is spot on!

i love this content she does. i’m always interested to hear what she has to say. laughter never fails 👏🏼

I love Kelly so much!!!!

I was born in the 90s and all of these things were popular when I was a kid too! Slap bracelets, trapper keepers, cassette tapes

✨HI KELLY! I WAS BORN IN THE 60's BUT I LOVE THE 80's ✨

Yes! I love it sooo much! ❤️

So true about the digital photos. I have no clue where I am going to access all of these in the future for my possible future children

OMG! Kelly is my best friend in my head! We literally had the same exact answers on everything. Plus, I'm a Texas girl so I can definitely relate. Especially about the party of returning movies to blockbuster next door to Albertsons. 😃

I'm an 80s baby so, I can relate 2 everything that u said especially the tape with the pencil ✏️ and sometimes that doesn't even work and u are out of a tape abd and that's a bummer...Loved the classic Disney Movies 💯 but, the knew ones are cool 😎 also but, Love u Kelly and Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂 2u...

my gorgeous Goddess Queen Kelly Clarkson 👑❤️👑❤️👑 HAPPY KELLY CLARKSON MONTH Y'ALLS

I remember this.. I was a 80s baby ..born in 83.. so I agree with you about everything .

pencil + casette: rewinding without killing the batteries of your walkman! LOL

"I sound 40." (I'm 38 this year, so I hear ya...and sound like ya ;)) Haha love your vibe and energy! You are our favorite coach on the Voice, and we've been fans since American Idol💗

I was born in 2000 and I knew all these "only 80s kids" things lol .. casettes were still a thing in early 2000s cars

Hi Kelly! I was definitely with most well all of your picks. because my baby girls were 80's babies too! 💕 love you 💕

Kelly, I'm 45 years old and my best friend says ..... Stacy, you are so old school ! I loved the 80's and 90's BEST time ever ! All this technology, it's giving me a headache. I do get a lot done though, however my husband and family laugh at me, I don't care! I am so Proud to be an 80's and 90's girl. I have updated my clothes since then. Love this video

Happy extremely early birthday @KellyClarkson

Kelly thanks all good old days needed it

“I like a grown ass man” me and Kelly are #Twins on that account #Yassss 💚🎉

My mom still calls binders Trapper Keepers lol its cracks me up, I wasn’t born until 92 so I never had one but I know a lot of the nostalgic stuff from having an older sister and a mom who hoards stuff from our childhoods haha.

I’m 30 and I felt this lol

4:10 soooo true 😂😂

does everyone remember wanting to call your crush or even just a person you really want to be friends with, on a landline? Like you are so nervous then you will dial the numbers, but before you press the last number you would chicken out and hang up. Then call waiting came and it was like awesome talking to two people at once. Then three way calling happened and it was a game changer. Then aol instant messenger came and the phone was no longer relevant until the cell phone.

I found myself pretty much in agreement with Kelly😘 Xoxo, Fellow 80’s baby

I love the 80's Who else?

I love Kelly!! Fantasy Island, how true of a statement. I like the men of now!

I have a bag of rolls of film from my college photography days that I just recently found! Love that feeling :)

I SO agree about the film! I love film!!!! I always have a much more exciting time with it than digital

It felt like I was in London mailing something to someone.. Kelly you’ve always cracked me up #CoolBeans

WOW!!! Kelly you are the same age as my daughters . . . I just got old, but I also realized that I am only 16 years older than my oldest daughter. Love ya Kelly 😘🙋‍♀️

I totally agree about ppl having their phones out and taking pics/vids of literally EVERYTHING! They’re missing out on life bc of having their phones out all the time! Why do something just to have your phone in front of your face the whole time?!?! I’m 35 so I’m not too much younger than Kelly Clarkson so I guess we’re sorta on the same page with stuff like that 😂

Happy 🥳 🎂 Birthday ! You are such a pretty 🤩 woman & such a great personality & love your shows, also when you are on The Voice (show) ! 👍😍😎🤗

That’s true about photos on our phone but I transfer them to my computer and back up. I also love to capture moments because I know one day it’ll be all that is left of a loved one or myself.

I love The pencil+cassette and record my voice while singing the lyric of the song that I wrote when I play my favourite music ☺️ love it ❤️

I was born in '89 so I def remember recording on cassettes, trapper keepers and slap bracelets 😂😂

Slap bracelets are back! I’ve seen them in my local stationery shop across the street from home in Barcelona. I think they even had rulers in them!

“I like a grown-ass man.” Same Kelly, same!

Going to blockbuster was the best! I had one right up the block from my house & it always seemed like an event going lol

As a 90s baby, I do know snap bracelets and cassettes, but what on earth is a trapper keeper lol

I was born in 1981 and a lot of these would be my choices as well. And omg all the girls in my neighborhood and at school would have their hair crimped and also the taller hair, the better, it seemed lmao! And when it came to the boys, many of us would rock a "business in the front, party in the back" style and for sports gear, we would all wear hideous neon colored outfits. The cassette and pencil struggle was real, as was having to rewind before returning the VHS movies back. And taking photos definitely had more of a purpose then where you had to hand in the film to get it developed and you waited in excitement to see how the pictures turned out. Now you can see them the second they're taken and half the excitement is gone. My mom loved taking photos and making physical photo albums but she never does that anymore because all she ever does now is taking pictures with her iPhone instead. This was a fun video and for someone being the same age as you, I felt it definitely applied to me too! 80's kids rule! :)

I dunno of it's just my country, but slap bracelets were still a thing well into the 2010s. They're possibly still being sold now

80's hands down so much better😎❤

I love original star wars

Photos can be downloaded to a thumb/USB drive and they can be plugged into a frame that plays then. In like a slide show, with different transitions and such..

Well renting at blockbuster was fun. The place was luxurious. You had candies. I really digged the place. It was like a fun visit all the time. You can't get that at home

film is making a comeback I think exactly because of this! digital photos have no occasion to them like having to go get film developed. there’s room for both today

We have the same age! Turning 40 this May, but I definitely don't miss rewinding tapes. 😆

I'm 29 and agree with you and I knew all the items at the end I have a cassette tape of me singing about chocolate

Slap bracelets are still at dollar stores! Trapper Keepers can be found too(: and I used my finger instead of a pencil and I recorded myself and classes at school as a kid too!😂

Love the 1980’s and you Taurus season queen and empress Kelly Clarkson! My heartthrobs are definitely from the 80’s. Don’t forget Johnny Depp! Great game! ♥️❤🥰😍🌟⚜️💎👑✨🫶🏻🤩🎞️📺 📼📞☎️👸

I loved returning the movies and games at blockbuster too!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏼😽😽😽😽☀️❤️🥳🥳🍍

My husband put’s together a photo book for his parents, my mother and us for Christmas every year. Oh and I adore Paul Rudd but my maiden name is Rudd and although I know I am not related to him (I’m an Aussie) I just can’t! Editing to add: I’m 40 this year too, I always thought I was at least 5yrs older than Kelly, I just remember her looking so young on Idol. I had already bought my first house when she had won.

Cool

Its funny bc she says.. Thats somthing only somone who is 40 would know. But I'm literally 26 and I knew pretty much everything on here lol. But I was also raised like kids were raised back in the 80s lol.

im born 1990 and i knew all the "only 80's kids would know " .. :P

I still have a lot of bop mags in my basement, bb, tiger beat, 17, tutti fruty, teen machine, jump, Teen mag, Ym, so many others - they're my babies lol #memories #42

Good morning Kelly

Yas Taurus season I’ll be 30 in May

Mixtapes!

I love that she loves to talk.. because this is how I was as a kid and the grown up would tell me no one likes a talkative person. You need to sit down and shut up speak when spoken to.

Listen as someone who grew up listening to kelly clarkson I feel old as shit that she's turning 40 I am only 26 but like I was young young when she started unrelated just wanted to share lmao

I'm a little younger than Kelly and I recognized some of the 80s stuff lol.

I was born in 1959, the 70's & 80's were a hell of a lot of fun. life was much simpler then. ❤

Classic animation

I'm a 90's kid and I remember cassettes ( would take my walkman to school with me until the discman came out) and I had snap bracelets but the were covered in fabric to give the illusion of safety. I wouldn't pick either a crimp or a blow out because I have thick short hair crimping does nothing and blowing out my short thick hair makes it stand up, I love the original Star Wars, Cell Phones are better I still remember using dial-up at my grandparents house (my grandma had dial-up until I was 15), I honestly couldn't tell you if I prefer heartthrobs then vs. now because I wasn't that into the whole lets stare at boys thing growing up, I used to burn CDs but I had to record my violin practice on a cassette, I don't wear any work out clothes I were soccer shorts and a tank top and call it a day, classic Disney is wear its at, I am a photographer I take black and white film photographs with a vintage camera and then go to work and take pictures with a DSLR camera attached to the computer with wireless hardware, Paul Rudd got better with age, online shopping helps when I can't go out, and streaming is overrated.

HI KELLY

💙

1981 here 🤙😆 Kelly where is your crimped hair picture? I miss mixed tapes and real film but I do have A LOOOT of pictures on my phone but I do print them out occasionally. Also Kelly I hear Jason Mamoa is available now 😉 call him up 😆 🤷🏻

Kelly, you need to watch Rodney Laney on Dry Bar Comedy about taking pictures with film vs using our phones. You will laugh so hard, I prom!!!

I took a week off work to make picture books for my kids - I was like 3 years behind

Kelly is like the friend you would like to have

Oh yes. It's true. It's damn true!

Get one those photo frames that changes as they go or have an app that makes photo books for me I do not take photos if I am in different country or a simple vacation yes otherwise its nice if you grow a plant in your pot and when the different stages I would capture sprouted in a plant pot to full grown or have plenty of them so grow a plant or just a memo in the moment

She said us men get better with age 🏆🏅💎

6:53 I know this. I was born in 2006

I was born in 1994 so growing up a lot of that stuff was still around which was amazing the fact some of it has gone is a bit sad yeah modern technology is good in a few ways but some of it is has taken away some good stuff but I do agree modern gym wear is a lot better from what I've seen people use to wear in the 80'S

Going to get films developed and waiting and when you get pictures back, best cause pictures tell stories more memories are best. And the poloraid camera waiting for film to develop oh what fun

Blockbuster will forever hold a place in my heart....if you are in your 30s and never got the chance to go to blockbuster growing up....im sorry
