In terms of any kind of boost in sales, a performance will be much more valuable than a Grammy.
I'm hoping she'll see a bit of a boost from the Inauguration, though I obviously don't expect anything like the Superbowl, in which she was the one singing the national anthem ("My Country Tis of Thee" isn't nearly as popular or interesting) and "Stronger" was already in the top ten. But even keeping it stable in the teens on iTunes would be great.

courtesy kellycfan4ever at the KCE...
UPDATE: -Kelly will be rehearsing with the Marine Band (indoors) Sat afternoon (hopefully that's when I'll get to meet her and get some pics!!!) -Kelly and Beyonce will be rehearsing with the Marine Band (Outdoors at Inaugural site) on Sun afternoon.
Kelly's performance will be closer to noon, which will be towards the end of the ceremony, could be before or after 12. Exact timing is hard to pinpoint but that is the ball park, as this is a live event and anything can hold things up.
**PLEASE NOTE** It is going to be VERY COLD on monday, and if any of you know anything about musical instruments playing outdoors in extreme weather conditions, the pitch will be very challenging to maintain A=440, this isn't going to be a pristine studio recording you are all accustomed to hearing. The Marine Band is hailed as one of the "best bands in the world" (you should all check out the link someone posted the other day about the historic nature of this organization) but wind instruments can only function so well in such extreme weather conditions. Of course, some of you may not even notice anything, but I am telling you that the Marine Band is amazing but please keep in mind the weather will affect pitch!! Of course, adding voice to a bunch of instruments could be challenging, but I know it will still be great and just a wonderful experience for all involved.

Am I the only one that absolutely loves the chorus of Addicted? The bridge is very popular, but I find the chorus to be even more enjoyable. "I'm addicted to you" is some of the best 2-3 seconds you'll ever hear on any music CD IMO.

I find it so amusing that this is her third straight-to-the-top Dance #1 in a row when she'd never even had one before.

I had no idea this was Kelly's 3rd #1 Dance song in a row. Thanks for that info dbhmr!
Tweet from Kelly's drummer...
Miles McPherson @mileskmcpherson Apparently I played actual live drums on the #1 dance single in the country right now. Incredibly thankful and confused.

Not sure if someone mentioned this but: Kelly Clarkson gets her 12th top 10 hit as "Catch My Breath" moves up to #10 on Hot AC. Kelly now has more top 10s than any other solo female.

"Catch My Breath" is also Kelly's fourth #1 single in a row (a streak which would've been longer had it not been for the disaster that is otherwise known as "All I Ever Wanted", unless of course it went #1 somewhere that I'm not aware of ofc) (don't care if I'm stretching either)
Mr. Kia - #1 Hot AC Stronger - #1 everywhere Dark Side - #1 Dance CMB - #1 Dance

Although the dance chart is not really a great place to look at for "hits" but still good regardless :)

Alicia Keys is singing The National Anthem at the Super Bowl this year. Yay for the impending positive press...for Kelly's rendition last year in comparison.

I could have lived my entire life without seeing that picture. It doesn't even try to look real. She looks like Sharon Needles.

A couple of the photoshoots from the BA era were SO overly photoshopped, that being one of them.

The AIEW era was worse. It really was. I remember looking at her tour book and thinking about how -anyone- could have approved such terribly photoshopped photos. It was her own tour book! It was the worst.

The tour booklet photoshopping was one of the most bizarre things I've seen, I don't know why Kelly or her team would have allowed people to photoshop real tour pictures (that didn't even need it), and do such a terrible job at that, it was just...strange.
But I understood why they did it to the album photos, it was a part of the theme they had in mind originally and they needed to glamorize Kelly. Kelly's image/weight didn't take a turn for the worse until 3-4 months after those photos were taken, making the pictures look more photoshopped and forced than they actually were. In hindsight, it was an extremely misleading concept for the album art, but at the time I'm sure it sounded ideal. I've always really liked the pictures, as fake as they may be.

Yeah the AIEW photoshoot pictures were definitely pretty photoshopped but at least they didn't really seem to screw with her face that much....she still looked like herself. They just made her look completely perfect haha. I did like those pictures but I wish they had a background. Except these two.....her legs..... But yeah the AIEW tour book was AWFUL. They took all of those concert pictures of her and photshopped her body, she looked all weirdly proportioned and her arms looked like bendy toothpicks.

She looks like a corpse that a mortician did a poor job on in the second one. The first one is just bad. I always liked the third picture from Thankful...
