All I here in my country now is random sh*t. I only enjoyed flawless Dark Side in summer.
I hear stronger more often. I'm gonna be upset if she doen't go with new music until end of the year.
Hi guys i just went to the hot 100 singles thread and saw this >
44 88 90 101 CLARKSON*KELLY STRONGER (WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU 18,327 -3 18,915 3,774,862
Stronger still selling above 15k copies each week! Assuming if it keep selling above 15k each week, it will definitely be 4x plat by this year end!!!!!! And if kelly really is releasing a greatest hits album, that be awesome promo for wdky too!!! A NEW ACHIEVEMENT for the mafias.
We probably won't get a meet and greet, or a fan request, we'll probably just get YCW and Einstein sung over and over again.
what's up with the shade over ycw and einstein? I've never heard ycw once live and im dying to hear it. I think the queen of mafias has sang einstein before if i remember correctly. Anyway, watch her sing ycw in a accoustic version and you guys will be slayed.
We don't mention that flop song anymore. It's an embarrassment to her catalog. It's like a reincarnation of You Thought Wrong....but worse.
Totally. It's her most floppiest lyrics i've ever heard. at least dbagai is cute and the production of the song is flawless. einsten on the other hand....

Well, she sung YCW on ITunes Sessions. And it took me nowhere. I'm bored while listening to this.

I don't know why. Maybe I'll just post the article here.
Have you seen this? She's a popular Serbian singer. She ripped of Kelly's song and video. What do you think? I like it. The song is so popular here. It's her lead single from the new album. The album has been best selling in 3 countries since it was realised.
“Everybody’s got a dark side” Kelly Clarkson belts on her latest single, ‘Dark Side‘. It seems that this includes radio DJ’s as well. After achieving the biggest hit of her career with ‘What Doesn’t Kill You‘, Clarkson seemed poised to deliver a single campaign similar in scope and cultural dominance as the one her team managed with her Grammy-winning ‘Breakaway‘ album. That campaign churned out not two or three, but five top twenty hits, four of which went top ten. Her fifth album, Stronger, had all the necessary components for it. ‘Mr. Know It All‘ has become a massive sleeper hit, there’s the aforementioned inescapable ‘What Doesn’t Kill You‘, as well as an album that married Kelly’s artistry with radio-ready songs. ‘Dark Side‘ seemed like the natural choice for third single. A mid-tempo with a chorus designed to fill stadiums and lyrics that extend beyond the typical club anthem. The problem is that ‘Dark Side‘ isn’t the massive hit it was born to be. It peaked at 42 on Billboard and is free falling on iTunes.
So what’s the cause for this? It can be traced back to a combination of two things. First, there has been one major live performance of ‘Dark Side‘ televised, and that was for the often overlooked Billboard Music Awards. Promotion is an underutilized tool for chart success. Give an artist a platform like American Idol, and it will send singles like Adam Lambert’s ‘Whataya Want From Me‘ into the top ten on iTunes and get them the exposure that they need to create fruitful album campaigns. It can mean the difference between a top ten hit and an outlier to the top 75.
Second, there’s the great beast that is radio. Radio can make or break singles, and unless your Britney or Rihanna, radio can be pretty stubborn to play a new release regularly. Kelly is an artist that has to work hard for her hits; just glancing at ’What Doesn’t Kill You‘, it took quite some time before it shaped into her ubiquitous number one. ‘Dark Side‘ has bounded up and then stumbled down on radio adds daily, maiming the single of any momentum.
Pop music is a curious thing. A lot of so-called hipsters are quick to dismiss it, but as a genre it’s every bit as legitimate, with a wide array of artists and sounds. Top 40 is about the only place one can go to hear Taylor Swift, Gotye, fun., and One Direction in succession. However, when pop artists try to do things outside of the box, pop becomes a double edged sword, reflecting the stereotype that Top 40 overplays just a few of the songs on its lengthy playlists, also known as ‘Moves Like Jagger‘ syndrome.
Where does this leave us? I would say we’re left with a bit of a broken system. Radio is the make or break for many artists, leaving some label-less, and can propel artists like Ellie Goulding into the public eye. Unfortunately, songs like the jagged ballad ‘Honestly‘, dense yet towering ‘Let Me Down‘ and the rebel yell of ‘You Can’t Win‘ will probably go unreleased because Kelly refuses to play the big label game, and therefore radio leaves her single out in the rain. Let this be a lesson to both up and coming artists as well as veterans returning from lengthy vacations: the hand that feeds you tends to have a closed fist policy.
The link works, I just had to mistake and add "[" at the end of it. Editting.

I Can't believe they did not mention katy in any of the article. And then the shade given to taylor.
Idk how anyone can hate such a flawless jam. Besides that ONE line, the lyrics are clever and smart. The chorus is catchy. The melody is great and its the only song on the album where Kelly sings it exactly how she sings her songs live. Not to mention its soulful as ****. Its one of my favorite vocal performances on an album by Kelly tbqh Ya'll will stay mad. It could be one of Kelly's biggest hits ever if it was released.

Ermmm. I mean, why did she do that? It's the MLWSWY video minus Kelly's amazing personality. Is it supposed to be a recreation of the video or is she trying to pass it as original? It makes me feel awkward.

If they released that song, it would ruin her career. Just sayin.
( Better save promo for the U2/Bowie song!
