Kelly Clarkson breaks free from a restrictive black and white world in her brand new Pleasantville-like video for her catchy pop dance anthem, "People Like Us," the compilation's third and final single to be released from Clarkson's first greatest hits album, "Greatest Hits: Chapter One," which is available in stores and on iTunes now. The 31-year old original American Idol superstar disguises herself as a scientist in the video for "People Like Us," as she tries to help a young woman held captive.
Clarkson recently admitted she now finds it difficult to listen to her early songs like "Miss Independent" and "Since U Been Gone" because of how much auto tune was used on her voice, and because she sounds so young. Filled with empowering lyrics about bringing people together, "People Like Us" soars even higher than the compilation's lead single "Catch My Breath," and showcases Clarkson's ability to turn frustration into uplifting and danceable catharsis. "We are all misfits living in a world on fire," Clarkson belts on her latest single, which is a rousing call for folks to stand up for one another and be individuals.
It's another colossal, fist-in-the-air pop anthem from Clarkson, who is an old expert at spinning hope from hard times and this is the perfect final entry to Clarkson's "Chapter One." "People Like Us," a throbbing outsiders anthem, is also poppy and upbeat, but the biggest draw may be its appeal to the gay community. "People Like Us" finds Clarkson cuing her inner Lady Gaga and belting "Born This Way" levels of encouragement. Unlike her previous more emotionally-themed video for "Catch My Breath," "People Like Us" features a cute little story.
The futuristic clip was directed by Chris Marrs Piliero and filmed on April 9, at Mission Street Lab in South Pasadena, California. It features Miss Independent as a double agent of sorts operating between worlds of color and black-and-white. She alongside a group of stern-looking black and white scientists analyze this 'in color' little girl in a lab facility. As the storyline unfolds, though, Clarkson's character reveals herself to be more than she appears. Clarkson is actually another in-color person who is trying to save said misfits from a lack of color, in a "Pleasantville"-esque plot against the black-and-white world.
