E! News revealed that Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka had their first dance as husband & husband at their wedding to "A Moment Like This." Cute!

Today I noticed how Kelly's kinda become hip thru trending stuff. It started with Stronger.. the phrase "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" (tho, not new) made its round thru social media. People started using it often... there are even some famous memes... and people were automatically connecting it with the song.
I can totally imagine next year's convos.. 'Ashley, u were such a h*e !' - 'ugh, blame it on my twenties'
must be Brandon's management-promo-strategy-influence on her

I think what I like most about the potential #blameitonyourtwenties mantra is that she'll finally be appealing to her older audience, which I think makes up the core of her fanbase. I think Kelly is often associated with little girl fans, as many pop females are, but apart from "Stronger"'s run, she hasn't been cool in the better part of the last decade. Her fans are the fans she made during Idol, plus some lingering Breakaway fans, and maybe a few hundred more since. Her fans are mostly grown up--they can look back on their 20s (or be reveling in their 20s enough to understand how this decade will influence their lives), they can buy explicit tracks all by themselves, they follow her through more experimental sounds and diverse messages, they can relate to her professional issues and limitations (Stronger was really all about this, but too veiled), they will embrace the "settling down" shift in her perspective even if they aren't doing it yet themselves...it's all there for her to go with whatever she wants and not pander, because she'd be pandering to the wrong people. Maybe it won't get her great Vevo views, but it will sustain album and tour sales, and continued respect.

With today marking the official start of the 4th quarter, I've already switched my ringtone to Underneath the Tree! I honestly don't think any of us are ready for the awesomeness that Kelly has in store for us for 2015! Not here for her country stuff, bring on the solid pop anthems that we all love!

I'll be waiting til the November chill hits NY to put WIR back on my phone. But I'm eagerly awaiting listening to Winter Dreams and Wrapped In Red while sipping an Ultra Spice Chai Tea.

Put Kelly on shuffle today. Still can't get over how "Let Me Down" and "If I Can't Have You" weren't singles. Two of the biggest missed opportunities of her career.

I still wish LMD was released as the lead single from Stronger. My dream singles would have been:
LMD-->Stronger-->IFY-->DS-->TWIO

Side note, I hope the label understands that the general public wants big anthem Kelly. The fact that SUBG, MLWS, and Stronger are her biggest hits is pretty telling.

But at some point she has to transition out of that and there may come a time when radio doesn't embrace those anthems as much. May not happen for a while but she can't just record anthem after anthem and have a guaranteed hit.

My thoughts exactly. Although I do recall there being some pretty epic string orchestrations on The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill so I wouldn't complain about that either...

So that showed that Kelly can't just record any old anthem-type song and it will automatically be a hit.

I too am ready for another "Because of You", "Already Gone" moment from her to show the world she can sing better than everyone else most other artists today.

I'm ready for an uptempo smash with an epic orchestra ala "Untouched". She would slay that

Side note, I hope the label understands that the general public wants big anthem Kelly. The fact that SUBG, MLWS, and Stronger are her biggest hits is pretty telling. Again (because this was brought up recently), I don't understand this concern. Kelly has never had an album without an "anthem" on it, save for My December I guess. She talks about her love of anthems all the time, and they are always released as her first or second single. What I hope she and her team realize is: 1. A Stronger retread won't cut it. 2. There is no one sound that is dominating pop radio, so they don't have to follow any one formula or tempo, so long as the melody is there. 3. While that's true, Kelly's brand of slow, quiet verses followed by a big chorus isn't all that popular these days, so that template alone will not make a hit. It can, but there has to be something else of interest.

Hopefully they stick to this for the next album.

But #3 kind of addresses that, i guess.

Full orchestra ain't cheap, so they're at least putting some oomph behind it. Her album sales have been remarkably stable as her career has gone on, even as the industry sees declines, so it's good they still recognize her as an asset.

As much as I love INOWL and BYOH, I really hope it's beyond that! Since AIEW it's a thing to end the album with a full orchestra power ballad. Not that I'm complaining (too much), but I don't want her to repeat the formula, cuz she could do something.. more epic, I'd say. Maybe something soundtrack-like like "I See You" by Leona Lewis or "Bridge Of Light" by P!nk.. (or "Alice" by Avril Lavigne.. I know - no vocal masterpiece, but I love it anyway)
ETA:
Before Your Love, Beautiful Disaster (Live) and Irvine are not full orchestra power ballads (referring to the reply) DEGUOM would be great!

I hope it's a full orchestra version of "Don't Ever Give Up On Me" that closes out the album. I kind of like that trademark of hers--hasn't it technically been every album, except "Irvine" isn't much of a ballad in the traditional sense.
