well dessertflower this is for you then, Kelly Clarkson: 'December' Romance Almost Over Tuesday, July 17, 2007 By Roger Friedman Kelly Clarkson’s new album, “My December,” will hit the 500,000 mark, or just a little under it, Tuesday, after three weeks in release. But basically, “My December” is a dud. Just as insiders predicted, it started big with 300,000 copies sold in the first week, followed by 114,000 in the second and about 60,000 in the third. Clarkson said some nasty things last week about her label guru, Clive Davis, with regard to his age. But Clarkson was dead wrong, and Davis was correct. She’s now undermined the pop persona Davis and his team carefully crafted. She may never get it back. “My December” will be lucky to sell a total of a million CDs over the next few months. Clarkson may already have accepted that. After firing manager Jeff Kwatinetz and The Firm, she’s hired Reba McIntire’s husband-manager to replace him. That may very well be a signal that Clarkson is headed to Nashville and a country base, where she can give up the pop rat race and concentrate on the loyal audience down there. The Firm, meanwhile, continues to be the subject of much speculation. Kwatinetz hasn’t many supporters. “He actually fired 30 Seconds to Mars and Jared Leto,” says an observer. “The band was hot and Jared is still a hot actor. It’s not like there’s many of either around.” Courtney Love left, too, right before Clarkson. Now Rick Yorn, manager to Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz and many others, is saying he may pick up and leave as well. “The Firm was supposed to be like a new CAA, but it’s happening,” says the source. “If Rick leaves, it’s all over.” www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,289570,00.html So Roger posts another article about Clive and Kelly, shock horror never saw that coming. OMG what a dud MD is in 3 weeks it sells 500k.

Let's just move on from talking about trolls and who trolls and what is trolling, etc. We all know what legimate trolling is. If you see it, contact your friendly neighborhood moderator. But keep the actual thread about Kelly and the album. Things will run much smoother that way.

Okay...i've been thinking and i actually want Sober to be a summer-fall single and HIF to be a winter-spring single. I dont know why, but i like it that way.

Gig....uh, I mean Clive Davis, I love your screen name, but now I have to clean the Diet Coke off my monitor. I guess I need Kelly content here, so Sober is really picking up spins.

I think they should just keep Sober as the single and see how itll do in a couple of weeks. because its not like its going down, its going up. but some of you wanna get rid of this song so fast and release HIF. that'll just create more confusion and when everyone realizes Sober wasnt finished the add dates for HIF get pushed and then everyone says its a flop like they did with Sober. and this album hasnt flopped. since when is selling 500,000 copies in 3 weeks a flop? Sometimes I dont understand people. oh and sober is picking up spins and new stations.

I can't wait to see the "Sober" video. Me too! Do we know what Sober is about? I know Kelly said its not about relationship. Really?? Of course I believe a Kellaholic like yourself but just interested to see where/when she said that. It has to be about A relationship..whether it was a friend, self or ex's'. I could see it not being about an ex though, but it wouldn't make much sense if it wasn't about a relationship of any form at all...

I just read the self magazine and it says "hole" is about trying to be happy because you're in the public eye, and you start filling this hole with different things. And "Sober" is how you cant fill the hole. So....i'm guessing its about her work life i guess.

I vote in this thread that we just ignore who WE (the fans not the mods since their definition is clearly amendable depending who whose thread they are in) deem as trolls. Just skip over those who have been posting exclusively or predominately negative comments.
I do love Roger Friedman, he's always good for a laugh.
sixofclubs where did you get that picture in your siggy? I'd love to see a bigger version. thanks.

I'm very, very happy with those 3rd week numbers. Let's face it, not many artists could come out and sell around 470k cd's in just 3 weeks without a huge radio smash. Hell, alot of artists can't sell that many in 3 weeks WITH a huge radio smash (not naming names, just sayin'! haha)
I think it's funny that Roger Friedman comes out with one of these type articles after Kelly says something that gets attention from so many media outlets (this time, the you aren't suppose to like it you're 80 combined with the 100 year old radio execs comment). Clive is so transparent in that he's using Roger as a mouthpiece LOL You can tell when Kelly hits a nerve because Clive sends Roger to do his dirty work - write a slanted article saying CLIVE WAS RIGHT and spinning the numbers so far to be a BAD thing. If it wasn't so sad it'd be rather, well, humorous. Ok, hell, it's STILL humorous ahaha
Next week, hopefully she will pass by 500k :)

Interesting STAT:
This is the first time she's EVER had an album in the top 5 for 3 consecutive weeks!
It'd sure be nice if HDD would write something like that hahah :)

I swear I see something about her and Hannah Montana everywhere I go. Kelly just needs a new single doing well on radio so people know there's more to this album than just the negativity the media is portraying it to be. The picture from Yahoo sets is cool!! She really did have 17 band members like that blog said!!

I'm actually fearing she may go the country route on her next album... I mean c'mon... as if dueting with Reba and hiring her husband as a manager weren't a clue.

LMAO I know right! I mean I'm certainly left wondering which direction she's going in since she hasn't even hinted to us yet [/sarcasim]
Those blender pictures are freakin AMAZING! I love her eyes! She's got the most amazing eyes ever IMO!
focus none of your pictures showed up :( I wanna see!! LOL
six thanks for the bigger pic! that's hot!
very very true! Kelly is doing amazingly well for having no single on the radio right now! Hopefully her sales will remain steady until her single hits the top 40! If sober keeps climbing steadily that might be within the next week or so!

If Kelly went with a Folky/bluesy/country/soft rock feel for her next album, I will be pleased. :) I think she can def pull it off. Its funny cause with P!nk I always liked her and didn't really fall in love with her until Try This. Then she became one of my fave artists. Same with Kelly. I liked her a lot, but now with My December, she has become my 2nd fave singer ever. :) Right behind P!nk. I love this album. If this album had been released in the 90's it would have been huge. lol I get this Alanis/Melissa Eitheridge/Sheryl Crow feel from a lot of the songs. I like it though. I wouldn't want to see Kelly become a Hot AC artist, but I think they should try and push more of her songs from this era to AC/Hot AC than to Pop. I think Sober, Maybe, Don't Waste Your Time, Yeah & How I Feel would do great at Hot AC.
