Yeah, unclear if it's for the song or she just meant the album in general, but I wouldn't be surprised if they switched single pushes to the title track. If they weren't going to do "Underneath The Tree" again, "Wrapped In Red" would be my pick. I like "Winter Dreams" and "Every Christmas" more as songs, but I think "Wrapped In Red" has great single potential and ties back to the album itself in a more direct way. Plus, she sounded absolutely superb on it live.

Oh please please please let it be for Winter Dreams - that song is so epic. Its probably for WIR, which is fine but doesn't have the hit potential to me.

It probably won't be Every Christams, cuz she's not in that life stage anymore. It probably won't be 4 Carats, cuz it's not personal. It might be Wrapped In Red, cuz it's the title track - other than that, it's made up lyrics. Winter Dreams on the other hand is personal, so it might be for that. Other than all of that.. songs she never sings live don't tend to become singles (another point for WIR(song)), but in this case, anything could happen I just doubt, they'd released a cover.. [/ another cover (Silent Night was a promotional single!?)] ... or the album gets re-released with 'Ave Maria' as the 1 single

Yasssssss! I'm so excited RCA is pushing it again this year. This was by FAR my favorite Christmas album in years. I'm OK with "Wrapped In Red" but my vote is for "Every Christmas". The baby is so cute!

My heart skipped a beat. Dear God please let WIR be the single and get a legit video. That song is heaven on earth and she absolutely killed it on the special.
Maybe they'll push WIR as the single, knowing UTT will get great recurrent anyways.

WIR makes a lot of sense because it is the title track and that is always a good idea for an album that is over a year old. My personal vote would be for Every Christmas but I see the better radio appeal of WIR. One curious thing I noticed. She is wearing white. For a song called Wrapped in Red and when she wore red for EVERYTHING last year. It could be for only one scene, of course.

I have a feeling it might be a proper video for Underneath The Tree.

That is one cute baby.
And YES for what must be another round of promo for Kelly's best album yet, WIR. Unless she is shooting a video for UTT, it looks as if they are going to be pushing another single. I was conflicted about whether they should stay focused on UTT or push a second single this season. It takes at least a few years for a Christmas song to become a holiday classic, and given UTT's solid run last year, it has the potential to be that, but would require radio play and exposure year after year. On the other hand, promoting a "new" single (I assume it's going to be WIR - which was initially slated to be the first single before Kelly and Greg put together UTT) may give the impression that the album itself is "new" and sell more copies. Plus, it's fun for us fans to get more than one single from a holiday album.
If they are indeed promoting WIR as a second single, it will be interesting to see how well it's received versus UTT. I probably like UTT a little more, but its similarities to Mariah's AIWFCIY may inadvertently hurt its long-term potential. UTT is excellent, but still feels like an almost-as-good AIWFCIY. In contrast, WIR comes across as a uniquely Kelly Clarkson song, is classic in sound, has a strong melody, and is heart-felt. The yearning in her voice while belting out that chorus may be the best that's been captured on record. I'll just have to get over a few cringe-worthy lyrics in the verses (e.g., "everybody's happy", "green can't buy me you").

I'm big into them pushing UTT one more time, just to see its potential. It's a much surer bet than any of the other originals. And PLEASE let there be a re-release of the album with Ave Maria, O Holy Night, Jesus What A Wonderful Child, and maybe something else soulful. Plus some more originals. I love Kelly's voice on Christmas music.

She could make an entire second album, really--3-4 new original songs plus Ave Maria, O Holy Night, Jesus What A Wonderful Child, Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree, What Child Is This, The River (especially fitting)...

With the orchestra stuff that's been recorded and her being in the studio recently, I actually wouldn't be at all surprised to see an expanded version of the Xmas CD this year... Which would be awesome.

But if it was a re-release pending wouldn't we have confirmation by now? I mean Nov is less than a month away.

Ashley Arrison said it's for "our song" which means Aben and herself, so it has to be for Wrapped in Red or Winter Dreams.

eeeeeeeeeee She looks gorgeous and the baby looks adorable and Christmas music and afjeiowfpaejiofapejifoepjeiop I am so excite! But if it was a re-release pending wouldn't we have confirmation by now? I mean Nov is less than a month away. Maybe they're going for a sneak attack...this video news kind of came out of nowhere and we don't know exactly when that's going to be put out. A re-release for Black Friday week could work splendidly. I'm hoping the video is for the title track, but if River is going to be in the video it would make a lot of sense for it to be for Winter Dreams...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jNWHOf5gpAWas watching this amazing performance earlier, one of my favorite Kelly songs of all time. Do you guys suggest any other renditions or performances I should check out. Did they ever actually shoot a music video for this? I know it wasn't released if so.

I would love them to push UTT one last time. Now that it had a year, maybe people will be more eager to hear it? Who knows. I just don't see WIR doing much on the charts.

If we're talking radio, AC is the format that heavily plays Christmas music, and "Underneath The Tree" already hit #1 there last year (and it was featured as an iTunes Holiday Single of the Week). ("Blue Christmas" and "Please Come Home For Christmas" both peaked at #6.) Because of that, I'd expect to see different offerings get pushed this year, mixing originals and another cover or two.

Based off the instas I've seen, I think this is for the song WIR. Hoping too.
