I'm quite excited for this!! On Glee (IMO) she was very hit or miss (still LOVE her "Without You" cover) but she definitely has an amazing voice and the fact that it's written by Sia is already a VERY good start  |

I'm curious to see how she'll do. I think she might be more suited for Broadway than being a popstar but maybe I'm comparing her too much to Rachel.
The single title seems like a parody of Wrecking Ball though. Wish that wasn't the title.

She's either going to do embarrassingly horrible or amazingly well. I think it'll probably be the latter.

She's either going to do embarrassingly horrible or amazingly well. I think it'll probably be the latter. I think the opposite - I don't think she'll do that well, I personally expect it to be like when Idna Menzel released her debut album. Of course, this is without even hearing anything. I personally kinda hope it flops because I think she belongs on the musical theatre stage not the pop music stage. |

I think she sounds too much like a musical theatre singer to be a successful pop star.

She's never met a note she didn't sing like it was the last note she'll ever sing.

Tracklist:  Apparently "Empty Handed" was written by Christina Perri. |

Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield? (x2)

Lots of very promising names attached to this project so far!! Why does everything keep misspelling her last name, though?

Empty Handed... A little piece of me hopes that the "Empty Handed" from Kelly Clarkson's demo surfaces as a real track now haha

Yeah, she's still doing the over-enunciating thing that Jazzy/Jack mentioned (though hey, Sia does that too so it makes sense *shrug*), but I like it. Sounds kinda like something I'd hear on a 90s AC station at the beginning of the verses, for some reason.

Doesn't it sound so 4 or 6 years ago?

Kinda laughed at this album title. Considering it's her, I'm just sort of wondering...louder than what?

Idk how I feel about the "Cannonball" snippet. It's not too exciting but does sound over produced for her incredible voice.
I also really hate how generic the album and single titles are. I'm expecting the LP to be very generic sounding.
That said, I'm excited to see how this fares. I want to see her succeed; I just hope the material matches her talent.

That sounds promising... And I prefer the single cover to this. |

The song is out, and she could've kept it. I'm not super mad at the extreme enunciating (even though it's jarring and a bit distracting), but where the hell is the bridge?! I was waiting for that big note, but it's nonexistent. Disappointed in this, especially coming from Sia and Stargate.

Meh, I'm indifferent to the full "Cannonball," but it's not bad. I'll probably grow to like it, as it's bland but not in a bad way.
Also, I still can't get over the album and single covers. Like, the album cover looks like an outtake from a magazine shoot (or a Michelle Branch album cover from her era), and the single cover makes me think too much of the Shontelligence cover (lolz). This project could definitely be off to a better start.

Cannonball is alright. I actually kinda like it but I honestly can't see it doing much but who knows. It does sort of get stuck in your head after the first listen which is a big plus.

Another song written by Sia in which the lead singer tries to imitate Sia :(

Woah that lots of people Kelly Clarkson has worked with before... I'm intrigued now.
