I like both those songs from a compositional standpoint, so that has me looking forward to this (even more than before).
Lead singles rankings for me: 1. Catch My Breath 2. Underneath The Tree 3. Breakaway 4. Mr. Know It All 5. Miss Independent 6. My Life Would Suck Without You 7. Never Again

1. My Life Would Suck Without You 2. Catch My Breath 3. Never Again 4. Breakaway 5. Mr. Know It All 6. Miss Independent
I've never heard Underneath the Tree.
I like most of her lead singles, but I don't think I LOVE any of them. Her 2nd and 3rd are always better and more memorable to me.

I'm so, so ready for this. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of Kelly's lead singles (and for the most part, singles in general) so I have high hopes for this. I'm here for the "Boom Clap" comparison. Also, I love the single cover.
Lead Singles:
01. "My Life Would Suck Without You" 02. "Catch My Breath" (so close - it really depends on the day) 03. "Breakaway" 04. "Underneath the Tree" 05. "Mr. Know It All" 06. "Miss Independent" 07. "Never Again"

Catch My Breath and MKIA are my least favorite lead singles from her so it seems like lately we have not been on the same page for first singles. So, I won't be too bothered if I am not crazy about this single though because I always end up loving the cd and other singles. Though, for some reason I have a really good feeling about this. Like, it will be epic and my favorite lead single from her in years upon years.

I'm reading off all the positive reactions to my bf and he's telling me I'm inflating expectations to a fault.

I didn't think rankings were allowed in single discussion threads? Oh well. {My Rankings}1. Never Again 2. Underneath the Tree 3. Catch My Breath 4. Miss Independent 5. Mr. Know It All 6. Breakaway 7. My Life Would Suck Without You
Though, don't get me wrong, I like all seven. "My Life" is probably my least favorite for its genericness and obvious try hard to copy "Since U Been Gone," but in the right setting it sounds amazing. I personally love hearing her perform it because she puts so much energy into it. They really are all close together. Words can't express my excitement for this! Everything I've been hearing about it has got me so excited for it!

Since we've had two people comment on the rankings thing now, we probably should move on from that. If we're still determined...Your Opinion Please? says hello. :)
As Kurt just mentioned in RT, the Pop rules really need revisiting, but until then, moving on would be preferred.

Curious. Why aren't rankings allowed? It isn't that they aren't allowed at all. They just should be in a proper place. This is to discuss Kelly's first single from her new album and its chart performance, not to have pages upon pages of people listing her previous singles. Generally we have been lax about the rule, but I understand why rankings generally aren't encouraged in this particular part of Pulse.

I really don't see the big deal because rankings usually happen when a single is announced and when the buzz is getting high and people are antsy for it lol. Pretty much after the release date it dies, so I don't see it as much of a problem.

I cannot stand Roar but to hear that this has similarities to Boom Clap makes me excited. It was one of the best crafted Pop songs of 2014.
I know Kelly will swing this one out of the ballpark. I'm prepared to be slayed! Few days left now! :'(

Not sure when and why it finally clicked with me, but it was awhile. A bit similar to what happened with MKIA for me, though it clicked sooner.

One description said more mature, but I don't think Boom Clap or Roar would be considered mature. I'm not sure what to make of these descriptions.

Aw! I missed the rankings! I wanted to list my favourites from Mr. Know It All/Breakaway (close) to Catch My Breath with Underneath The Tree (instant holiday classic!), Never Again, My Life Would Suck Without You and Miss Independent in the middle in that order! Aw well... I hope the new single can place in the top three though. I'd like Kelly to have a singer/songwriter vibe, or even a bluesy-type sound if anything.

So what's the deal with the teaser? Haven't they missed the time by about 40 minutes so far?
