When Amy Winehouse<\/strong> died tragically in 2011 at age 27, she was a global superstar, but Kelly Clarkson<\/strong> knew her before then.<\/p>\n

On the May 16 episode of her talk show<\/a>, Kelly interviewed Marisa Abela<\/strong>, who portrays Amy in the new biopic Back to Black<\/em>, in theaters on May 17. During the chat, Kelly revealed she got to sing with Amy years before she was famous \u2014 during karaoke.<\/p>\n

“It’s funny, I actually saw her before she was who she was,” Kelly said. “She was just coming over [to the U.S.] with her boyfriend, and it was while I was shooting this movie that I absolutely hate.” She was referring to From Justin to Kelly,<\/em> the 2003 movie that she was forced to film after winning American Idol<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“But anyway, we all did a karaoke night. And it was before she was her, and she almost sounded a little different as well,” Kelly recalled. “It was, like, before she became ‘Amy Winehouse.’ I don’t think she had a record deal or anything at that time. But we all went to karaoke and she sang Etta James<\/strong> and I was like, ‘Wait, what?'”<\/p>\n

“It was like she, just from the jump, had such a presence about her voice,” Kelly added. “It almost became, like, more of a character, too, like, with herself throughout her career.”<\/p>\n

Amy’s breakthrough album, Back to Black,<\/em> was released in 2006.<\/p>\n
