I don't think Kelly is going to release a pop-country song and frankly I don't want to. I don't care if it has potential to be more successful but a lot of pop fans hate ****ry. I always said I won't support Kelly if she goes full country and I still stand strongly in my shoes.

What Kelly needs to do, is release the pop single next week and debut the country single at the CMA. In that way everyone can be happy and the first week sales will be massive with country and pop fans at her side. She shouldn't risk releasing one pop-country song, people are bound to hate the song. Just release a pop single and a country single.

How would everyone hate it? Again, some of the biggest hits and the songs with the most longevity are Pop-Country songs. People obviously like them or they wouldn't have huge digital sales

It would be cool if they did a new pop single for the GH and send something on Stronger (BYOH or TSWR or a re-recording) to country and she could perform that at the CMAs... I doubt RCA would attempt something like that though

But yea, I hope it's not solely a country-crossover attempt...

I respect your opinion but disagree

I think right now would be the absolute best time to experiment with a Pop-Country Single

I say this because if the GH flops...it flops. It's not like it is a whole new album or something and needs to be highly successful. Plus, she is nominated for a solo Country award for the first time...why not take advantage of that?

I am not saying a complete country Single but have some Country influence such as You Belong With Me, or We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Kelly has songs like this already anyway with Cry, Breaking Your Own Heart, and Maybe.

As you said many and many times before, RCA isn't smart

A lot of the stuff that Jason and Kelly have written together has been more country tinged though so this could be a real possibility... I honestly think it could be a mistake though. Most of those country crossover hits were sleepers, it would be unrealistic to expect that Kelly could match that success just by doing something similar.

I'm talking about her loyal POP fanbase. A lot of pop fans don't like country music, and especially her fans outside the US. Kelly may gain a lot more fans but she will lose a lot as well. She'll probably gain more fans then lose but still.

I'm thinking for myself at this point by the way and all her other pop fans out there that absolutely loathe country music and cringe everytime they hear a country element in a song. I don't want a pop-country song. Just release two different songs, a pop and a country one. Or make the country songs more popish so it can maybe crossover to pop, but I still want my full on pop song.

You guys are scaring me right now, stop it!

If it is a "country"-pop song I think the most country it will be is along the lines of Cry though... It's not like she'll suddenly start drawling to mandolins and sport a cowboy hat.

KevinKDC

One thing's for sure though. If Kelly goes pop-country she has potential to have a force power like Taylor Swift.

But I'm not sure if I'm (personally) here for that

Kelly said herself that she would never go full country. She'd cater to both audiences in the future. Which is really the best of both worlds.

The full Pop song can be the 2nd Single

Yea I mean, I love a lot of the country-pop hits but I'd be bored if that's all Kelly starts releasing

They are all slow burners and I feel like a lot of these songs are very similar and there is little room to be instantly blown away and surprised.

I agree, don't go full Country but releasing a Pop-Country single could be great

A song from her fourth album? lol No.
If she's proving herself to the country audience at the CMA's, she won't be by singing a song from 3 years ago.
