I Can't Make You Love Me (Smoakstack Session), *Bonnie Raitt cover Confirmed Producers:Darkchild: "I Forgive You" Brian Kennedy: "Mr. Know It All" Toby Gad: "Einstein", "The War Is Over" Josh Abraham: "You Love Me" Greg KurstinMichael Knox: "Don't You Wanna Stay" Excerpts from Kelly's RCA biography regarding the album: In a story about “Mr. Know It All” — the first single off Kelly Clarkson’s new album Stronger — Entertainment Weekly calls the multi-platinum singer and songwriter “the samurai of shooting guys down.” Indeed Clarkson has earned herself millions of devoted fans thanks to her feisty, straight-talking lyrics. Clarkson’s hits such as “Miss Independent,” “Since U Been Gone,” “Walk Away,” “Never Again,” and now “Mr. Know It All,” are bold empowerment anthems, which she sells to the fullest with her soulful, powerhouse voice and down-to-earth relatability.
The vibrant, musically diverse Stronger (which Clarkson says was influenced by Tina Turner, Prince, Sheryl Crow, and Radiohead) will thrill those who love Clarkson for her resilience. The album is filled with candid, emotionally raw tunes like “The War Is Over,” “Darkside,” and “Honestly,” as well as “You Love Me” (in which Clarkson witheringly tells an ex “you’re not good enough”), “Einstein” (the cad in question is dismissed with “Here’s your keys, your bags, your clothes, and now get out of my place”), and the title track, which finds Clarkson putting a fresh spin on Nietzsche’s adage that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and declaring “it doesn’t mean I’m over ’cause you’re gone.” That fact that these gutsy sentiments are wrapped in fizzy pop melodies, bright choruses, and driving dancefloor-friendly beats (crafted by such A-list producers as Rodney Jerkins, Greg Kurstin, Josh Abraham, and Toby Gad) only makes them that much more appealing.
“The whole album is very much about strength and empowerment, so ‘Stronger’ felt like the perfect title,” Clarkson says. “Plus that song is just a gold mine — it's a little bit pop, a little bit pop-rock, a little bit urban, a little bit dance, and it ties everything in. And everybody loves that message. ‘What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.’ It's a perfect representation of my life.”
[snip]
Clarkson co-wrote five tracks on Stronger, a process she feels is therapeutic. Her favorite song on the album is “You Love Me,” which she says she wrote following an incident that she thought would break her. “It was probably the most hurt I’ve ever been in my life,” she admits. “But by writing about it, I got to work through it and get it out of my system.” The remainder of the songs were written by a host of A-list songsmiths, including Rodney Jerkins, Ester Dean, Bonnie McKee, and Toby Gad, whom Clarkson says really took the time to get to know her style. She also credits her producers, Jerkins, Kurstin, Abraham, and Gad among them, for what she says is the biggest difference between Stronger and her previous albums.
“What separates this album are the vocals,” she says. “They sound richer and fuller, and, for the first time, how I sound when I’m performing live. The producers I worked with just let me sing and be me. They didn't strip away the personality. And it was one of those things where if the people I’m working with have confidence in me, I have more confidence in myself and that changed everything. I can’t wait to perform these songs on tour. I think that’s the best way to get to know an artist, and where you get to see actual personality, because we can't hide much onstage.”

:) We should get the single by the end of this part. Please? Woot! Part 2. Hopefully we get the single before Part 3. We best get the single in this thread. Here's hoping by the end of this thread we have a first single, maybe even an album title.

News sounds pretty promising, minus all the leaked songs. I know that pisses her off. Hopefully she'll get a hit record

Thanks for starting Pt. 3 Chris. Still really loving So Far Apart. I think she just sounds so...pretty. So am I. I'm guessing she cowrote this with Rebz? Doesn't sound like a Kelly sound at all, instead it sounds like a really beautiful, sad song that Reba would sing. She said she and Cory/Aben? wrote this song based on a poem that Reba sent her. I love it. She used her voice differently on this one. Similar to the way she sounded singing "Close Your Eyes".

I always thought "I'm not the Only One" was the song she wanted on the album not Lonely. But Kelly is looking amazing form these concert pictures.

I'm Not the Only One is my absolute favorite pre-show song. I would looooove if it made the album, but I have a feeling it won't. Same with Poison Candy. If Kelly happened to record these in the studio and were somehow released, I would be the happiest person ever. 16 more days until we can finally hear the duet with Jason Aldean! I really hope we get some sort of live performance with those two.

That's great, I'm happy she's writing sad songs that aren't about boyfriend/girlfriend type relationships Though, I think I remember her saying one time that 'Cry' was written as a song about a relationship between friends but they made her tweak it for the album . As she's getting older she's gonna have to gradually change her subject matter.

Isn't 'I REMEMBER' another Pre-show song? I remember (lol) someone reported a new song called 'I remember you' that Kelly performed during the preshows, but it was one of the songs we never got audio of...

I will never cease to hate Reba's voice or the way she sings Because Of You. Well her voice has diminished since she's gotten older.. but she used to have such a powerful voice. Believe it not there was a time that reba had the best female voice in country music. Her voice has obviously diminishing because she is aging, but she can still carry a tune very well. Still really loving So Far Apart. I think she just sounds so...pretty. So am I. I'm guessing she cowrote this with Rebz? Doesn't sound like a Kelly sound at all, instead it sounds like a really beautiful, sad song that Reba would sing. I tweeted kelly last week about her new album, i asked her if any reba songs would be on there and she said no, but she did say there will be a ballad similar to "You Lie". And she also joked how when she was young she almost died trying to hit those high notes. LOL I bet with the incredible voice she has now, she could hit them better than reba could.

But all the credit still goes to Adam I tweeted kelly last week about her new album, i asked her if any reba songs would be on there and she said no. Some of these songs won't make the album, so there's stillaa chance that some of the leaked songs have Reba's name on them I like the " " a bit too much.

Her voice has obviously diminishing because she is aging, but she can still carry a tune very well. It's not so much her power, it's her tone and style. She's OK on her own stuff I guess, but I just HATE the way she sings Kelly's stuff, especially Because Of You. "I learned the hard way, to never let it get that faarereeaaarreeeuuuuhhh". No thanks. Honestly whenever they're up there singing Kelly's stuff it resembles to me like Kelly picked an excited mom out of the crowd at a state fair and let her share the mic.

Nice thread Chris. :) With that said, I love the studio version of "So Far Apart," but I think the recording from the preshow will forever be my favorite. How raw it was just made the song so much better.

Kelly's one of the highest trending topics on Twitter right now. Random! I think she's trending because an act performed "My Life Would Suck..." on Saturday's X Factor. The rest of the top 8 is all related to it somehow, with four of them about that performance in particular (One Direction performed Kelly Clarkson and band member Harry Styles appeared to have an erection in a photo of it).

Thanks for starting the Kelly Part III thread, Chris- well done ! Do y'all think that a lead single can still be released this late in the year OR is an early 2011 single release much more probable ?

If the Jason duet is any good, I'd rather have that be released this year, get her name back out there and some interest for her own lead single next year.

The most likely and reasonable thing to do would to release the single early next year. Time is running out before Christmas comes 'round.
