Blake Shelton's Christmas Special is airing right now and features Kelly. Just a heads up for anyone who missed it. I assume they sing the duet that appeared on his album. I really liked that song but forgot all about it with Kelly's release last year.

The thread title change made me think her next album was titled Better Than You. Me too! I was so confused because I check this thread all the time and wouldn't have missed something that big. I even went to the 1st page to see what had been added to that. lol

The duet is still the lead single, right? I hope she experiments a little and does something House-inspired sometime this era, either on her album or featuring on someone else's album. That style of music is made for big brassy voices like hers. Something like JHud on Gorgon City's "Go All Night" would send me straight to Hell. I know she doesn't "chase trends" and still hasn't worked with an EDM artists, but by god, I just need ONE. I don't need an album of it, I just need one.

I'm not worried about Kelly. She just needs a good song and let the public do the rest. If "Stronger" is any testament to how they will react to her new stuff, then I think it will be successful.

Yeah I'm definitely interested to see how she does commercially. There has been a bit of sea change since the release of Stronger, in terms of radio sound, how music is consumed, and which artists are doing well.

So I've been playing WIR(album) for the last couple of days on repeat and I just gotta say that I really love her voice on "Just for Now". I love the whole album but that one, WIR(song) and HYaMLC are my three favorites. Top 5 would include "Blue Xmas" and "4 Carats" which I really like for some reason I can't pinpoint.

It's really going to be interesting to see how CHR accepts her next singles. Kelly's not young or new anymore; she's 12 years on from her debut. I think Kelly's voice gives her a good chance of still getting serious airplay if the sound is right. But halfway into this decade, she only has 1 top-10 CHR single. Pink has 5, but nobody else of her generation is a consistent presence on Pop anymore - Britney and Fergie (with BEP) each have had 3, Alicia Keys has 1, Beyonce and Christina each only have 1 and that's as a featured artist, and Avril has zero. The older pop females like Mariah and Madonna have vanished from CHR. Obviously all of those ladies are still around and some like Beyonce are still big on other formats, but it's going to be a challenge. Which is why it makes sense to lead with a duet if it's with a guy who has his own radio appeal. I dunno...I think you're underestimating the power of Kelly. She will never have a Breakaway-sized era again, but I would argue Stronger was one of the biggest hits of the first half of the decade (and I would argue bigger than anything P!nk, Beyonce, Britney, etc. have put out--yes, even "Just Give Me a Reason".) A lot of it is going to depend on the song--I think if she plays to her age that will actually act in her favor as opposed to going the Avril route and trying to be younger than she actually is. I also think with the first single she should move away from the pop/rock thing a bit and move more towards an R&B/bluesy flavor, as that seems to be the style she's going more towards off of WIR and it will be harder for her to maintain the rockiness to her songs as she gets older. Plus it's not all about CHR success; Stronger and WIR are both platinum albums while her GH is gold. Not many of the current artists can say they've sold ~2.5 million albums since the start of the decade, and I think Kelly's next album will sell decently regardless of CHR support.

Kelly's biggest appeal, and her greatest business strength is that she appeals to women (of all ages), and they buy albums. If you look at the #1s on CHR this year, especially near the tail end, the list is dominated by songs that tested well and appealed to this demo. They're the ones who buy her albums, attend her tours, and though she doesn't have a powerful fanbase like the Navy, Beyhive, or Monsters, she does have this silent contingent that's put her towards the front of the pack during a real difficult time for album sales.
With the right song and campaign, she can have a CHR #1, but she'll really have to step up her video and streaming presence (two areas that she's had difficulty with in the recent past) to get a nice spot on the Hot 100.

Totally agree with all of that. Especially with the video... she isn't one for showy videos, but I would LOVE for her to work with Joseph Kahn again and just go for it.

DK: I heard that you were working with Kelly Clarkson on her next album. Is that true? Shatkin: Yes. I've known Kelly for a few years, since I was an engineer for her Stronger album, and her Christmas album Wrapped in Red. I would send songs to Kelly. Luckily she liked a couple of these. It looks like I will have two or three songs on her next album, which she helped co-write. I did the production too. It's so fun to comp her vocals in the studio, because she's such a great singer. You can get an amazing performance. www.songwriteruniverse.com/jesse-shatkin-interview-2014.htm

Kelly's singles without Pop support(UTT, AIEW) have done poorly on iTunes. If she decides to go the Hot AC or Adult Contemporary route or just simply doesn't get support from Pop stations anymore, this may be what to expect. Thankfully she has hinted at doing collaborations in the future, so it's very possible she will remain a Pop singer even if it's only one or two singles per album.

FYI, the show is on where Kelly will be doing a tribute to Reba. It is on FOX. I can't remember the name, some country countdown awards or something. It is rather horrible so far but I am trying to put up with it until Kelly comes on. Unfortunately, she may be coming on rather late since they keep saying "and later..." when referring to the Reba tribute.

She sounded fantastic tonight with Miranda & Reba. Her voice is back to its fullest form and I'm thrilled for the next single (and for it being "pure pop").
I'm sure a video of the medley will be up somewhere soon.
