I think it might be Kelly's advantage because I think it might be kinda boring to buy Xmas albums and on each of them there are still the same songs. WIR might be fresher in this way because of the original songs + Just For Now. But it really depends on the quality of the new songs. If they were horrible, it would have been better to record classics.
I'm hoping this is the case, I imagine people will like having new Christmas songs to listen to (as long as they're good)
A collaboration between the two biggest pop songwriters of the last fifteen years, "Since U Been Gone" was also a bit of a passing of the torch from Max Martin, the king producer-songwriter of the late nineties, and Dr. Luke, the preeminent one of the moment. Together, with the help of Clarkson's American Idol–tested range, they created the biggest chorus of the last ten years. It doesn't matter if you're 13 or 33, when that beat pause hits, you know you're a breath away from screaming the song's title at the top of your lungs.
