Kelly is very underrated. Most people have no idea just how amazing her voice is (don't know why--BTHE, SUBG, BOY, MLWSWY are pretty hard to sing). I had a couple of friends over and showed them the video of Walking After Midnight and Lies, and they were amazed at how incredible she sounded. The same happened with me some weeks ago. I showed those videos to a friend of mine who used to call Kelly "oh that other Ashlee Simpson girl". After the videos he was all "omg I can't believe she can sing like that, I'm blown away". I've had the same experience ... my friends are basically (like me) straight male rock fans, so Kelly doesn't get a lot of respect from them, but everybody who sees clips of Walking After Midnight is blown away. (As for comparing Kelly's live show to Britney's, well, I don't think much of Britney, but that's like comparing Kelly to a standup comic or a football team. Their live shows aren't really even in the same line of work.)

That's because they were polished and smoothed out after the fact, just the like Napster performances. Where they?

You can't hear it? They definitely fine tuned her vocals a little bit after the fact. Listen to it on headphones really closely.

I'm a giant sucker for those universally appealing, self esteem boosting, inspirational songs, and what I love about Breakaway is that you can apply it to so many circumstances of your life for inspiration. Going away to college, then studying abroad, then coming back, and this spring I'm sure graduation will be all about breaking away. It's just a great, inspiring song, that at least for me, makes me want to go out and take over the world.
LOVE

And just because I want this incredible performance to be heard by others, here's the Connect Sets version: Do you know where was that pic from 2:06-2:11 taken from? I've never seen that one before.

lum Its from the Carson Daily Show in 05, it was the first time she sang BTHE with the electric guitars apposed to all the acoustic versions she had done before the single had actually dropped. I still have it recorded on VHS somewhere.

Is Kelly doing any Jingle Balls this year? I was hoping she would do the Z100 Jingle Ball but I didn't see her name on the list.

The Sony Connect sets are much better than the VH1 ones. I agree, her voice sounds a little thin on the high note during 'BTHE' on VH1. Wasn't 'BTHE' a full step higher? I remember because it used to amaze me that she sung it so high for two months straight during the BA Tour.

I could be wrong, definitely, I just thought her voice was at Idol clarity that day haha. The only reason I'm skeptical is because, at least on her Napster performance of SUBG, there's a tiny vocal flaw in what otherwise literally could have been her vocal stripped from the studio version it's so clean--it's toward the end of the final "again" in the bridge, her voice scratches. Would they not have cleaned that up? Or are you just suggesting they added a bit of echo?

Would they not have cleaned that up? Or are you just suggesting they added a bit of echo? Probably echo. Usually on stuff like AOL Sessions and Napster and stuff like that, all artists are required to use effects on their microphones ranging from pitch-corrector to reverb effects. All artists have to use them - that's probably why Kelly sounded deity-like. Either way, she had to have been in top vocal form that day to sing like that, so it takes nothing away from her, it's just that the effects pushed her voice even more over-the-top.

Could someone give me a rar file of the Connect Sets/VH1 performances? :)
For some reason I only seem to have the Napster and AOL sessions.

I don't know about a rar file, but here's a link where you can download all four performances from VH1: Video: tinyurl.com/yebedzbAudio: tinyurl.com/ycl9jmuAs for the Connect Sets performances, I used to have 'BTHE' downloaded on my computer, but it's since been deleted, and I don't really know where to find it. The only place I've ever seen 'BOY' from that session is on YouTube.

Don't know if this has been posted, but SUBG is #1 on About.com's Best Singles of the Decade! I think they really like Kelly since Never Again charted at #71 interestingly enough. I thought BOY would get the spot, to be honest.

I think "Breakaway" would have ranked higher in the Billboard album of the decade rankings had they chose to continue the era by releasing Gone, it obviously would have been a big hit since so many stations were so eager to jump on it before Walk Away was released, and continued playing it during Walk Away's chart run. They could have easily released Addicted and/or You Found Me afterward, I think it was a huge mistake on their part.

Z100's Top 100 Songs of 2009
56. Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone 41. Kelly Clarkson - I Do Not Hook Up 5. Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You
Somehow Kelly managed to lose 4 positions in 2 months after being number 1 with a big lead for most of the year. Sucks since she would have been the first artist to top the list twice.
Z100's Top 10 most played Artists of 2009:
1 SPEARS, BRITNEY 5,428 2 LADY GAGA 5,230 3 CLARKSON, KELLY 3,920

Tonight is the last show on the AIEW tour. :( Someone on the Express (who had a Meet and Greet with Kelly in Florida) said that Kelly told him/her that there will be a special addition to the show.
