John Legend and Kelly Clarkson Reworked 'Baby, It's Cold Outside' but Baby, They Shouldn’t HaveCOME ON, MAN, IT’S A NO: John Legend ft. Kelly Clarkson, “Baby It’s Cold Outside” —The “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” culture war has started early this year and John Legend and Kelly Clarkson have presented us with the first entry: an updated version that considers the notion of consent, which is the thing that people start flapping their jaws about every year, usually around Thanksgiving. If I pretend the lyrics are not changed to reflect consent, then this is fine. John Legend has a good voice and so does Kelly Clarkson. Would love to hear them sing anything other than this song, so if that’s in the works, please let me know. To be clear—I am not against consent, but I am solidly against the reworking of this old chestnut, which is not, as many seem to believe, the only song about Christmas or the holiday spirit or winter. Thank you. —Megan Reynolds
