Short version of this song. They skipped the second verse, right? or did I miss it? lol Standing O!
Her voice sounded a little tired.

I think the background vocals were too loud but she slayed!

Bitch did I miss Kelly

1. DS is a risk. There's no guarantee that it'll smash like there is with WDKY.
2. Toby Gad is not an a-list producer lol.
3. Greg Kurstin is probably in the same leage as Toby.
4. "Einstein" is another Toby song and a much better single choice than TWIO, so none of that is really valid, is it?

And hopefully the song will shoot up the charts

Why did they put her at the very beginning of the show, not give her an intro, cut the song in half, and not interview her afterwards

Toby Gad is on wayyyy more albums by A List artists than Greg.

They ****ing tried it....

i missed it.....someone upload it on YouTube.......

I know they have a super packed show tonight, since it's only an hour long and they had 2 guests and 2 people are going home. But still they even gave damn Willow Smith a little intro, I was hoping KC would have gotten one too. Well at least she was the first Idol to make the jump and perform on the US x-factor.

The next three singles (yes I'm being optimistic) have to be Dark Side, You Love Me & I Forgive You tbh.

Damn I missed it, but from the sounds of it you were all disappointed

That performance did felt short. hrm

Flow of the singles to be released:

Mr. Know It All- (the most radio friendly eargasm single in the album, a grower and you won't get tired listening to it being played over and over again)

What Doesn't Kill You( this is supposed to be the first single due to the leaks it is reserved to be the 2nd single)

The War Is Over or Dark Side ( The only noteworthy ballad in the standard edition of the album. It is fitting around the grammy period.If she pushes to perform this song there, it will do good however risky. Dark Side, on the other hand, has a catchy music box intro, soft dark verses and pop/rock explosions on the chorus. It is catchier than The War is Over but Kelly always releases a semi-ballad hit and the former has a bigger advantage over this one.)

Let Me Down or I Forgive You ( - Let Me Down is a mash up of never again and behind these hazel eyes, the angst and the attitude is portrayed through her vocals and it will SMASH. The latter is a better version of I do not hook up with a pinch of since you been gone melody, it's weaker compared to the former but more radio friendly. However IMO,It will be appropriate to conclude the era with forgiveness and I Forgive You suits well)

You Love Me ( the walk away of the album. It is sassy and has a catchy beat. It has ironic lyrics. It's Kelly's fave song in the album and she's saving it for the last just look Walk Away and All I Ever Wanted)

*Alone ( if she plans to release a 6th single like katy's TOTGA and if releasing a track from a deluxe edition is OK for them, this could be it. It is the 3rd most downloaded new track on the debut album release week . It is a fuse of Hello and You Love Me melody. The intro is a reminiscent of Belinda Carlisle's Heaven Place on Earth. The track is obviously an 80's throw back. It is something new but a bit risky)

It was a let down but I don't blame her for it. The video graphics behind her were amazing though.

This was the opening release of WDKY, I don't understand.

Her introduction on Australia's X Factor is how it should be done.

In fact everything about the promo run in Australia is how America should of gone down.

Even her performances in Australia were flawless

Someone put it on YouTube.....i really wanna see it......

If they give Bruno a full intro, full song, and interview, I will be pissed.

LMAO that was so cheesy. I have a really bad feeling about this video and the upcoming promo for the song.

That's not saying much, neither are "a list".

I mean really? How is this even a discussion? Max Martin, Dr Luke, Timbaland, StarGate, Polow da Don, Tricky Stewart, RedOne, Claude Kelly, Shellback.

Those are exmaples of in demand producers and not even all of them will be considered "a list".

Seriously Toby's last hits were If I Were a Boy in 2008 and Untouched in 2007.

Don't Hold Your Breathe

Edit: Also half the producers you mentioned are extremely questionable.
