I love the picture used in that cover but the layout screams poorly-done fake. The positioning of the text is far too sloppy.

The cover is weird...Especially for such a rock-tinged album...And I'm sorry but this isn't 'Breakway 2' this era is way closer to 'My December 2' just with a lot of hype... To tell you the truth, nothing on the new album is better than 'One More Minute...' Which was 'My December's' hit anyway...

One Minute is one of the worst songs she has ever recorded. Everything on the new album and My December was better than it. And calling this era a slightly more hyped My December is a bit laughable considering this will probably be one of her biggest or THE biggest hit she has ever had worldwide by the end of her run.

I don't like most of the songs off the album but I can tell that this album will have hits just because it's too commercial not to, even though most of these songs are disposable they will be hits. They're junk food for the most part and ultimately that's what the producers, executives wanted an album full of commercial radio hits. The sad thing is due to the poor material on this album I am starting to really appreciate "My Life Would Suck Without You" as it has turned out to be one of the best songs on the album. If they are going with a ballad for the third single I would want them to pick "Save You" as that is a quality record, that I think Kelly sounds great on. Already Gone is the more commercial of the two, but I think SY is leaps and bounds better then AG is, and I personally don't see all this love for Cry either. Don't Let Me Stop You and All I Ever Wanted are the other two quality breakouts. I can't necessarily say that IDNHU is a mistake per say as it's insanely commercial but I can say that it's garbage. What set Kelly apart from the fake POP Princesses of the world is her VOCAL talent, which many try to hide their lack of skills with smoke and mirrors. And because people have been polluted by these fake "Singers" for so long, they might have forgotten what a real singer's album sounds like. It might have more than just a catchy hooks.

As long as you gave it a listen im happy! and i agree about DLMSY and AIEW and how they will be breakout hits!

It's so funny how the first 5-10 pages of almost every new single thread is people declaring what a bad single choice it is, and how something else should have been picked. Everybody's a record label exec these days.

The funniest part is they are fans of artists who can't and never sing live. It reminds me of the movie "Saw".... If some of these chicks had to sing live to survive it be a short film.

Katy did this a lot better IMO. Katy is better at selling the image that comes along with this song. Where as Kelly just comes off looking awkward it's the same way with Long Shot and If I Can't Have You. She's singing material that is tailored to someone else and that's what causes the double take when you hear various songs off the album.

Kelly rips Katy's version into shreds. She takes care of that during the bridge.
I think this is a great second single choice. It is definitely catchy and will get people jumping and clapping along (KOKO anyone?). And I really don't get all these artist comparisons, especially with Kelly. She is constantly being compared to everyone as if she isn't her own artist.
And I could not agree more with beelzebub.
I think Don't Let Me Stop You should be the fourth single. I would really prefer Cry to be the 3rd single but it seems like they're promoting Already Gone. Ryan's tracks, for me, are the weakest on the album with Impossible and If I Can't Have You and the other one. Maybe it was my own expectations but I do feel really let down by them.

Kelly and Ryan Tedder wrote If I Can't Have You together so I don't see how you can say Kelly looks/sounds awkward singing that one if singing a song tailored for someone else is your criteria for why you think Kelly sounds awkward.

But, personally, I do have an idea of what songs have hit potential and what should be released next just as I am sure tons of people do here. ;)

Amazing performance! I love that this single has her signature "huge note at the end of bridge".

Why are people comparing this to Katy's DEMO? LOL
I think this will be a hit. Not sure if it's a #1, but Top 10 for sure. One thing I really like about this era is that they are promoting Kelly to the rest of the world. 'All I Ever Wanted' will be the era people outside the US know who Kelly is.

Now looking at how 'MLWSWY' is exploding everywhere, I think she will finally become massive worldwide. Her biggest hit was 'Because Of You'.
