RCA saving their pennies for the superior song

I think they just thought Don't Rush would be the one that needed an extra push. I mean, since its her first official Country Single and all.

Plus, if they only promote the "Superior" songs then Dark Side would've gotten tons of promo

They were wrong though

She debuted the song on the CMA with a 13.6 million average of viewers. And now they are giving it a banner to the song despite it being in the top 20 the entire week (although it did fell a bit yesterday).

They should've given the banner to Catch My Breath which had no promo what so ever. Either RCA is very stupid or they don't want to waste any money on Catch My Breath because they don't have enough faith that it will do well.

Who the **** doesn't have faith in a lead single? That's just a stupid thought.

Ever heard of a compromise? Especially since Kelly didn't had any written songs released on Stronger. They didn't have faith in Never Again or Miss Independent remember?

I kind of agree with you even though a label should have faith in their artist's lead single. I love CMB but I think they threw her the bone just to celebrate the 10 years. Either way it's a great way to start off with the GH

They already know PLU will be the smashing savior

See, now you're skewing things to defend your love of DR. The song was falling, and was out of the top 20 all weekend. If it weren't for the banner and the switch to country it would probably still be falling.

Thankfully it's getting some minor iTunes promo, and it's helping.

By the way, I'm listening to Dont Rush before my medical school interview to calm my goddamn nerves.

Wish me luck?

Yeah and especially since her next record can possibly be her last at RCA. I can see the CEO giving Kelly everything she wants right now. Kelly is one of their most profitable stars at RCA. They are going to do everything in their power to make her stay on the label.

And since the MKIA - Stronger one/two punch worked so well for RCA they are repeating themselves. They probably won't even care if Catch My Breath underperforms because they know People Like Us will become a huge hit.

The last time I checked Don't Rush it's position it was #32. I would hardly call that falling compared to the #4 to #125 fall of Catch My Breath.

Exactly but I hardly believe Kelly is going to put any struggle in leaving her label despite their tainted relationship. She'll probably stick to RCA because she's just sitting comfortable and well already, and she's getting what she wants now.

But I hope she gets offered by Interscope, or even Epic. That'd be awesome

And thanks

I could see Kelly getting A LOT of offers. But "knowing" Kelly she's going to choose the contract where she has the most creative control.

I think they will eventually promote Catch My Breath. They are just doing things right this time. They finally realized they shouldn't release a video before the Single is released. They are also realizing having her sing a song on a show before the release also basically does nothing. They had her sing What Doesn't Kill You on X Factor, and Dark Side on Billboard before anyone even knew the songs...

She should've performed Mr. Know It All on X Factor, and What Doesn't Kill You on Billboard instead...

The AMA's are a day before her GH is released. RCA would have to be incredibly stupid not to have Kelly sing Catch My Breath...I think they are just waiting for it to get more Radio support before promo this time. As it should be IMO

CMB was released at the worst time possible. If it was released now, it would be faring a lot better. It had to fight against the onslaught of Taylor Swift. I'm pretty sure DR would have been lost in the shuffle too had there been not even a banner or performance.

At you comparing a song that has a banner and a televised performance to a song that people didn't even know existed. Ridiculous.

To a person who said that Kelly had bad voice at the beginning of AIEW era.

kii...No she won't. No other labels fit her persona. Maybe Columbia but doubtful. RCA is the label that best fits her style and attitude as of right now. I don't see her going to Sony, Interscope or Def Jam.

Queen of awk medleys.

I sincerely hope to god that someone other than Jason Halbert sits in on the planning of the AMA performance. I'm so sick of him ruining Kelly's career.

Looks like I have to go with your second plan. Gonna use Nicki for this

That's true but a new label would help her grow or evolve her style. She's in stagnant waters with RCA. She creates near flawless music, but no movement or evolving at all. If she ends up switching, it'd be most likely with LA Reid who just signed Avril

I wonder if Kelly even wants to bother evolving her sound. If anything, bitch will move her ass to RCA Nashville.

Oh, and good luck. It's easy faking it.
