Kelly Clarkson feat. Vince Gill - "Don't Rush"

Seeing since Kelly Clarkson has had top tens on duets, this should be top ten #3 for her.

I'm not a fan of the song.

Ha! But Vince Gill hasn't had a country radio hit in how long?

I really like it too, I think it's better than her remixed version of Mr. Know It All.

Thanks. But what a disappointment. Vocally, she has sounded more country on some of her pop songs. I don't understand. And sonically, there are elements that have a late 80s/early 90s Vince Gill feel but it sounds more like a classic soul song than a country song.

This is not the country Kelly I want. :(

I LOVE IT! Very romantic. ♥

That's a compliment, to be sure, but it was another s guy to make that comment. ;)

Let's wake up in the afternoon
Pretend that we got nothing to do
No we don't have to go back anything
We can make up our own homes
I see the way you're looking at me
Baby know I'm feeling it too
We can just light up every candle
Move from room to room

Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Wishing everyday was Sunday, you're right next to me
It's how it's supposed to be
Just hanging on every touch
Baby don't rush, no no
Baby don't rush

Throw the map out the window
Taking the long way around
To a secret place where no one could find us
A little place we can call our own
Come over here and take a picture
Something we can hang on to
We can look back and try to remember
All the crazy we gonna do

Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Wishing everyday was Sunday, you're right next to me
It's how it's supposed to be
Just hanging on every touch
Baby don't rush
Baby don't rush

Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Stopping every minute

Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Wishing everyday was Sunday, you're right next to me
It's how it's supposed to be

Stopping every minute just because you're in it
Wishing everyday was Sunday, you're right next to me
It's how it's supposed to be (supposed to be)
Just hanging on every touch
Baby don't rush no no
Baby don't rush (Baby don't rush)
Baby don't rush

iTunes tomorrow!

I said most of what I have to say in her album thread, but while it's perfectly pleasant and taking the country genre and sound seriously, it just doesn't make a very big impact, which I sort of expected from this single--given that it is taking one of the three available slots for new music on her upcoming Greatest Hits album and could be considered her first real push to country (or at least another big step in that direction). I think it was smart for them not to do some power pop/country/rock Carrie Underwood-esque song to start with, since those comparisons will be inevitable enough, but it just doesn't make for a very striking foray into this genre.

That said, she sounds lovely and at home here, and the song works on a number of levels, it's just not entirely exciting. I hope it does well for her, though, and that the CMAs kick this off to a nice start.

Hmm, I can see that, too. I think Kelly is really attracted to blues music, and almost all of her country covers bring in, by her own admission/purpose, a more bluesy/soulful vibe, so I wonder if all her country-leaning music will fall on that side. She has a few demos that are more decidedly country or country/pop, but Bonnie Raitt seems like a good way to describe this track.

I like it, it's sweet and pleasant, but exceedingly uneventful. The key change sounds awkward, especially since after it happens... nothing happens. If the instrumentation swelled, or her vocals soared, or Vince stepped it up, maybe it would be worth the hassle. The whole song is just a bit underwhelming, but I think it'll do well and definitely solidify her place as a potential crossover artist.

I'm sure that was completely intentional. As mentioned, Kelly loves that style of music and is probably the style of "country" I see her going for if she wants to focus on genres other than pop music in her career.

AC/Hot AC. I don't see any info on any of her songs doing much at Country. She definitely has a country influence to a lot of her music though.
