However; whenever I think about Live Earth, I have to think about this sad story about a little girl who had terminal cancer and her only wish was to see Kelly live. She went to see her at the Live Earth concert and three days later she died  Idk, I always think of that whenever someone mentions Live Earth  |
That is so sad, I don't remember that

I know that problem. I've seen her once, but I want to see her again so bad and I swore that whenever she comes to Europe again, I will go there, even if it's in a completely different country.

Kelly wouldn't be so local to the U.S if RCA actually supported My December
How can you allow an artist to go from 12.5 Million to 1.3 Million with 1 album? She was one of the biggest if not the biggest artist in Pop at the time and she slips that much? Selling at least 5 Million Worldwide should've been relatively easy for her at that point.
Walk Away failed to do well outside of the U.S and then Never Again didn't help. My Life Would Suck Without You revived her a bit but then I Do Not Hook Up & Already Gone failed again. Mr. Know It All did decent and so did Stronger but they still didn't come close to her hits from Breakaway and now we are at the point where she is all but dead outside of the U.S. Dark Side, Catch My Breath, and People Like Us have all failed. Her career outside of the U.S basically died with My December
Haunted should've been the lead single.

She should have released Gone instead of Walk Away internationally too.
She needs to release killer ballads like BOY and pop-dance songs like MLWSWY to be more global . I stan for Catch My Breath but with a song like that you can't smash hard. I'm in love with her albums but she needs some changes to smash . Finally I love her so much

I think expectations have also been too high to meet. That's what killed Leona's career in the end and I think Adele will have a hard time to release a follow-up to 21 as well. My December was different from her usual sound and it was noncommercial. She knew that people who liked Breakaways wouldn't necessarily like My December as well.
---------
I just watched that old Paul O' Grady interview in which Kelly said she usually goes commando  I hope she doesn't do that anymore. Why would you even say something like that publicly? I love that Kelly has no filter, but sometimes she reveals things I rather don't want to know about her. I knew about that commando thing before but I had kinda hoped it was just a rumor

What would you release as the lead single? Never Again had no business being lead because while its a loud, awesome, in your face song, its not very radio friendly even when you take out the lyrics. Kelly had released dark songs before and smashed so the lyrics weren't the issue. The lack of support from RCA was. Even then, NA should've been maybe 4th or 5th single.

Even if they released something else we would still be in the same situation because of My December I don't even think power ballads would work because Already Gone did horrible WW. If dance Kelly is what the world wanted, What Doesn't Kill You would've done better. I just don't think they care for Kelly anymore. She just needs to take more risks single-wise. Her albums are great and filled with awesome, creative songs but her singles are normally safe.

I guess the sound was more Rock oriented and less catchy than Breakaway but the lyrics weren't really any darker to me. I'm not saying it could've been as successful but it could've done much better.
It is kind of like Gaga with The Fame & Born This Way. TF was really catchy and sold a ton WW and then BTW was more artistic with a less catchy sound. TF sold around the same as Breakaway and I feel that MD could've sold as much as BTW with label support and multiple singles.
It would've still been a massive drop but not a 90%+ drop

With MD, Never Again was the perfect first single, there wasn't another radio-friendly song, unless you want to choose "One Minute", which is the most radio-friendly MD can get. So yeah Kelly's international spot died a little, however NA was one of Kelly's biggest hits in Australia.
With All I EVer Wanted, MLWSWY definitely became a HUGE hit worldwide, and there was a lot of promo worldwide from her and her band (she even visited Hong Kong for the first time). IDNHU did kill the era outside of AUS & US (cause she did promote the single A LOT in the states), and Already Gone became a moderate hit internationally.
As far as Stronger. MKIA did good enough to kinda keep Kelly's name in the charts worldwide, and in the states, the song was heavily promoted. But Stronger blew up EVERYWHERE! and I mean EVERYWHERE, believe it or not, it probably ties with SUBG in terms of International success (not BOY, that single was flawless). The problem with Dark Side was that there was no promo at all (besides the BMAs and a few spots in the UK, that was it)
Catch My Breath was solid here in North America, because there was promo (The Voice, Ellen, AMAs, VH1 Divas, etc.) and HAC/AC radio loved the song, and Pop was there for it a little (although more than MKIA) it reached 100 million AI
If RCA wants People Like us to do amazingly well, not only here in the states, but worldwide, they need to organize a schedule for the summer, BEFORE the Honda Civic Tour begins, where Kelly does non-stop promo, with Interview/Performances, that includes:
* Letterman, Fallon, Leno, Conan, Chelsea Lately, The View, Jimmy Kimmel, Live with Kelly & Michael, Ellen (again), The Talk (those ladies <3 KC), the list goes on and on.

No number of singles from MD would have caused that album to sell 5 million. There are just no radio-friendly songs on that album.

Kelly has had a great career and she wouldn't be as emotionally healthy and happy as she is today if she hadn't gone through her My December and AIEW struggles. I think we should all be happy she came back swinging and just had a 4x platinum single that was #1 on BB's chart for more than a week. She was everywhere [in the US] last year and the respect for her amongst the public as a legendary vocalist is only growing.

I think it could've sold that much. Kelly was huge back then and managed to sell over 1 Million with just 1 horribly promoted single. If they had actually made the effort, I think it would've done it. At least 3 Million for sure IMO.

What Doesn't Kill You was really that big? I looked up her stats and it didn't peak all that high WW. Did it have loads of longevity?
I love that she is in a good place right now but it still sucks.
I am a believer that all lead singles should be the most radio-friendly song on the album to get radio on board. Even if the song is the most generic thing ever, you need radio on board to let the public know that you are back. You can release more risky choices later. The best song should never be the lead, the catchiest should.
I would've done:
Miss Independent
Breakaway
Haunted
My Life Would Suck Without You
I Forgive You
I Forgive You isn't my personal favorite but it is extremely catchy and would've done great on the radio

Blame it on the production. Sober is a great song but with a modern touch, it would have smashed. The vocals are there, the lyrics are there, everything is there but the production. Same with Maybe, Haunted, Can I Have A Kiss, etc. All single worthy if the production changed.

I'm happy that MD flopped. Flopped hard. Even though it menaged to go plat, it flopped and I'm extremely happy with that. We can enjoy songs that TRUE Kelly made herself. It's the best thing she could give us. I don't need her to be as successful as certain artist we are not allowed to talk about in this base. I just need her to put out music. As long as she does that, I'm ok.
