Kelly Clarkson>>>Pat Benatar

ehh, I don't see her album flopping, but "Never Again" hasn't impacted radio yet and it needs to soon before the sales from digital downloads are wiped. Is it just me or does she look as if she's last weight there? ;p

^That was an AWESOME performance! <333

she has lost weight. In some pictures the other day at Kio(spelling) she looked like she had lost some weight.

I do see that she's lost weight, she's looking healthy now at least. Perhaps she should promote on shows more viewed than Jimmy Kimmel though

if she releases a song as beautiful as because of you
i may buy this

^you should listen to Maybe on youtube or All I know. Those are good songs that are kinda like Because Of You.

ow thank you
i'll do it now

i gotta give it up for this new aggressive kelly...never again is alot better than since u been gone

Its so sad that Clive Davis is owning Kelly, right now. He was totally right.

It would be cool if Kelly can take over radio again, but i dont really care anymore. This album seems to mean a lot to her, so i'm just glad they finally are releasing it, even if NA isnt doing the greatest right now. Kelly is not scared to do anything different so i gotta give her credit for that.

maybe clive david
want kelly to become a ultra popstar and wear short skirts and do a songs with a lot of "hey! hey!"

i loved that performance!!!

i loved that performance!!!

according to this NA is supposed to be a warm up song:
"thanks jen... and I also wanted to let everyone know that I talked to my station's program director yesterday and he'd also heard the rumors and said they were totally false. He also told me that the record label actually isn't expecting Never Again to be a chart topper (like SUBG), so it's not true that NA has to do well before the album can come out. NA isn't being pushed much because it's just a "Warm-Up" song to get Kelly back in radio... I guess the REAL hit is supposed to be the second single... so that's the one that's going to be the next hit that breaks all the records
Again this is just what I was told... no official confirmation or anything"

its from the express and 99% of time they are right.

That's the most retarded thing i've ever heard. Kelly fans are really making ******** excuses up now. Its pathetic.

And the supposed follow up(according to Kelly) is 'One Minute'. Which does not sound like a smash.

LMFAO. Sorry , but whoever made up or wrote this is a complete idiot. "warm-up"s are supposed to be strong , charts breakers. It's the first impression! And that "the label didn't expect it to be SUBG pt. II" is a bullcrap. The song is BASED on the SUBG template. They released it as first single because they were expecting it to walk on SUBG's masive success. Just because it didn't perform well doesn't mean that they meant that.

On the other hand , I think its unfair to predict the sound of her album from just the reviews and the first single. We have to wait and judge. She hasn't been fighting for this album for nothing.

Hey, go out there and experiment life. Maybe someday you'll understand why the music Kelly Clarkson sings and write are so depressing and COMPLETELY understandable and loved by people who have been in her shoes. Life isn't all that great for everyone in the world, obviously. You don't always win in the end (Behind these hazel eyes, Low, Because of you, Never Again, etc.), and sometimes you do (Miss Independent, SUBG, Walk Away, Thankful, Breakaway). Music, surprisingly (not), gets people over certain situations in life that are hard to compromise. So quit whining and if you want role models your baby sister or brother can look up to, tell them to watch Disney.

^ ok, you're right, my entire life has been a cakewalk so i could never imagine in my wildest dreams what adversity and heartbreak are like. kelly is always missing the bigger picture my friend, and nearly everything she sings about is petty and immature. she makes catchy music, i'll give you that, but she builds her problems up to be so overwhelmingly dramatic. she needs to get a grip and realize that there are millions upon millions of people on this earth grappling with more than the teenage angst she is crapping out. i'm not going to knock kelly for who she is, but i think she needs to grow up a bit. life's too short to make every moment miserable.

here is what Kelly said in an MTV interview:
In an interview with MTV Radio, Kelly went into detail about what went wrong, and it's not pretty!

She says: "Everybody always wants me to go in different directions. Obviously they're a record label so they need to sell records.They want the formula writers and the formula producers that do everybody else's stuff, and while I love some of those people... and I don't mind working with that...I just don't like working with someone that gives you a song and is like, 'Oh, I wrote this for you.' But you find out that they've given it to every other artist and they turned it down, you know? My label literally sent me a Lindsay Lohan track from her last album and wanted me to record it for my new album. And while I like Lindsay Lohan, like I'm cool with her and I think she sings the song well... it's already been on an album. I don't care what pop star it is. They were just sending me stuff that was like almost insulting. I'm like, 'You can't even find new songs? You don't want me to write my album but you're sending me hand me downs?' So, I ended up writing the entire thing with the people that I write well with."

I think thats really messed up and Im willing to believe in her because her label didnt like BOY(which is her only single to hit #1. It was # for I think either 2 or 6 weeks) She was the one that changed Since U Been Gone into a more rock song.
GO KELLY!
