RideOrDie on ATRL suggests there's a new version of James Arthur's "From The Jump" out April 19 with Kelly on it. OK but "Lose Control" duet version when

First "Be Still" performance in over 15 years!
Not sure if this is a coincidence, but next week will also feature two original Kelly songs as this week did. Hinting at something maybe?
Monday: "Edge of Midnight" Tuesday: "me" Wednesday: "Some Things I'll Never Know" Thursday: "Mind Your Own Business" Friday: "Behind These Hazel Eyes"

“Be Still” is STILL amazing and she sang better than recording! It’s awesome! I also expect “Behind These Hazel Eyes” next week! It’s been a long time on TV live.

But is it free just because it’s her song? These songs were released under RCA. Maybe cheaper as she is credited as a songwriter (most likely the heaviest percentage).

Kelly is performing it on TV, it's not like she's releasing the song on an album. Why should she ("she" being NBC/TKCS, not Kelly herself obviously) have to pay to be able to sing a song on TV? Isn't it just free promo? People are still gonna check out the original version even if the Kellyoke version takes off. I've heard more about "Wide Awake" since Kelly covered it than I have since it peaked in 2012 tbh.

There’s no guarantee the “free promo” will benefit the original artist; everyone may know it’s a Katy Perry song and still choose to watch Kelly’s cover 25x versus streaming/buying Katy’s record 25x. Copyright laws and such are in place to ensure an artist (and owners of said work) gets paid every time their song plays on radio and every time they perform it publicly; TV performances are also public performances and so, if someone else covers the song, the license is in place to make sure the creators/owners are still compensated for their work.

Some artists just don't grant it. Obviously it's less hassle/work for Kelly to do her own songs, because it's easier for her to give herself permission.

While we're on the topic of rights/permissions, I keep waiting for someone to write a piece on the handful of very high profile female artists Kelly has never (or very rarely) covered.
I'd love to see some some theories on why. I obviously think some of these gals are simply not secure enough or they know exactly what KC will do with their song and want to avoid altogether. Either way, 👀👀👀.

I'm missing something. What happened at the inauguration between Kelly and Beyonce?
Kelly seems to be on good terms with most performers, not sure anyone would veto her performing their songs unless they were (rightfully) concerned about her outdoing them.

Beyonce got caught lipsyncing and basically held a press conference about it afterwards (lmao that is kinda funny in hindsight). Meanwhile, Kelly got all the good press for singing live and sounding absolutely immaculate. I doubt Celine has ever turned Kelly down from performing her songs, but she also does not have writing credits on a lot of her hits so it wouldn't really be up to her.

Has she ever sang Over the Rainbow for her? It’s such a standard song to cover but can’t recall her ever doing it. Anyway, exquisite

Anyway, exquisite I can't find anything despite multiple searches, so this may be the first time. Personally, I think this would have killed (more than it did) with a string section in addition to Jaco. However, that moment between 1:33-1:40 when her voice slightly cracks and he looks up at her...

Beyoncé wished Kelly a Happy Birthday with a post of her childhood photo on her website a few years ago. So I believe they’re on good terms.

Does anyone know what happened with the Whitney cover?
Also I apologize if this is a dumb question to ask but has it already been filmed and we're waiting for it to air or it hasn't been filmed at all?

Looks like the episode is pre-empted today in all (most? much?) of the US due to Eclipse coverage. I see it will air on my local Bravo station at 4 AM tonight (early tomorrow)

Someone from Miss Indepodcast was there for the episode taping where she was supposed to sing it and she didn’t sing anything that day, as opposed to just a different song, so I’m guessing her voice was too tired to sing anything healthily, let alone that beast of a song. Hope they slot it in again ASAP.

I can't remember - did she perform "me" during the "chemistry" rollout on TV (maybe the Today show?) or is this the first one?

She sounds incredible but I will never ever understand choosing this song as the lead single, or any single at all.

I'm coming out as a "Me" stan and breaking my silence about this song. A good number of Kelly fans don't love this song (which is fine!) but it has always been one of the most puzzling things for me in the Chemistry era. The range (those low notes at the start!), power, conviction and soul she has whenever she sings Me has always been breathtaking for me. The song is melodically and production-wise my cup of tea as well. Probably within my top half/top five from the album. I can't remember - did she perform "me" during the "chemistry" rollout on TV (maybe the Today show?) or is this the first one?
