I hope the label or her somehow get Floria Sigismondi to do the video. I just see it being perfect if she does it!

Kelly just confirmed on CHUM that Dark Side IS the next single! God it feels good to be right! I can do another happy dance when this song smashes hard! It would be hard to match the success of WDKY but DS can out peak MKIA, I know it!

The best thing about this confirmation--after, of course, the fact that Dark Side really is the best choice and my favorite song off the album--is that it shows they really learned from the mistake they made last time around with all the producer deals. They seem to be really going after what's best for the album, era, and have been in line with what Kelly wants, which is really refreshing. Like everything else this era.
Quick wish list for this single: -Great video -Idol performance -International promo -Top 5 CHR, Top 10 Hot 100 -Propels the album to 25-30k/week in the summer

This era ... too much perfection. Took the words right out of my mouth when I saw that 'Dark Side' is officially the next single. :'( Quick wish list for this single: -Great video Yes! I want RCA to bleed money funding the music video for 'Dark Side'. It needs to be the best video she has ever done. I won't settle for less, lol.

Of my wishes, the video is the one I care about the least, but it'd still be nice.

Yay "Dark Side" should do well, hopefully at least another Hot 100 + pop top ten.

The video better be of epic proportions.
I'm still mixed on this decision though, I love the song but I'm scared it won't be the huge-wetyourpants-smash followup to WDKY y'all think it is. Hopefully I'm wrong. She has accumulated serious momentum so I'm not as worried as I was three months ago.

I hope for an Idol Performance that is similar to her concert opening number. It's dramatic, it catches your eye and it gives a big F U to nay sayers :)

I am actually happy to hear that Dark Side is the next single. I think with potential promo opportunities coming up (American Idol/Billboard Music Awards), Dark Side is the better choice over I Forgive You. Hopefully they can release IFY late summer to keep her momentum running through Christmas.
She has had the worst era of music videos this time around, so RCA better shell out some money for this music video! I need Joseph Kahn to direct it. I would love for this to have a BTHE vibe to it and have a shot at Video of the Year at the VMAS!

Omg this era is like heaven :'( I hope that make a really good video for this. Something like BOY or NA. Kelly hasn't had a truly amazing video for years, and I hope this one will be one. I remember how freaked out and disappointed I was when DarkChild's wife tweeted the false information. SO glad it turned out to be not the case

I'm hoping Dark Side gets the full dance remix treatment that WDKY got. I've always thought DS was screaming to be remixed.

I am extremely happy with "Dark Side" being the third single. I think it'll stick out in the summer in a good way and could potentially be her "Because of You" of this era. This is also my favorite song on the record so it's exciting to know that the general public will become familiar with one of her best songs to date.

This is also my favorite song on the record so it's exciting to know that the general public will become familiar with one of her best songs to date.At this point, I think this is all I'm really concerned with. "Dark Side", "I Forgive You" and "Let Me Down" probably have equal potential on radio and on iTunes, and while I definitely had my preference ("Dark Side"), I don't think any of those choices would have killed the project. "Stronger" has given Kelly massive commercial success again and while I don't want to kill that, I also want her to have the ability to put out a song that is artistically good, not just catchy. "Dark Side" really fits that bill and combines the artistic side and the commercial side--- it's easily one of her best songs to date and a sign of what she could do if allowed to stretch even more. I'm so happy it was chosen and, flop or smash, I'm glad they're giving her that chance.

Did anyone catch Kelly on The Voice? Some people on another board (not related to music) were raving about her and said they wished she could mentor for everyone. :) I wonder if it will translate to more interest in her album/WDKY.

Yeah, I enjoyed seeing her on The Voice. I was glad that she kind of sang a tiny bit of 'Ironic', and she did it darn well too. I would love to hear her sing the whole song one day.

RCA knew what they had, but also knew what they needed to do to inject some new life back into the KC brand, and they had the material--and an excited artist--to back it up. As for remaining promo, Idol and the Billboard Music Awards seem like the big potential options for the third single. Beyond that, she'd probably have to repeat Ellen or something, and isn't Dancing with the Stars or So You Think You Can Dance on in the summer? If she's still got great momentum going into the fall, she can cycle through some of the stuff she did last year, like the AMAs and X Factor. Speaking of The Voice, wouldn't it have aired in the East Coast by now? Any reports on what it was like and how much Kelly was involved?

She has Letterman, Ferguson, Jimmy Kimmel, Conan, and The Talk, Rachael Ray, Live With Kelly, Anderson and The Revolution available. With those, some never have performances, though even simple interviews would boost sales somewhat. Oh, and SYTYCD? An excellent performance opportunity.

Idol finale would be the perfect launching pad for Dark Side. I can see it shooting up to top 10 on iTunes and remain steady when radio airplay starts its effect.

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Can't wait to read everyone's reactions when "Dark Side" becomes one of her biggest hits ever. I'm predicting #1 now. I don't think I've ever had more faith in a song than I do with this. So f**king excited. I'm still mixed on this decision though, I love the song but I'm scared it won't be the huge-wetyourpants-smash followup to WDKY y'all think it is. And you honestly believe "I Forgive You" is? idgi.

Mariah looks fine without makeup. She looks alot fresher. She still looked great during "Memoirs" to. JLo is nice looking also but she goes over the top with the whole image thing. ...wut?

The last time I checked the album was at #27 before The Voice and it's at 24 now, and the standard edition has also slipped back into the top 200 at #199.
