Just to wrap up the MKIA run, its bullet is down to 59 this morning, so it looks like this song's upward movement is finally over. It looks like #11 on pop radio will be MKIA's peak.

Can anyone help me find this soundboard recording? I love me some Kelly xmas! Kelly posted a link to this download on her old fan club. It's from the soundboard at her New Orleans AIEW concert and was for her Mother for Christmas. www.megaupload.com/?d=VWINLI0G<3

Has there been any talks about possible follow up singles after WDKYS has had it's run? Particularly "Let Me Down"?

Dark Side has been getting performed more than any other track outside of MKIA and WDKY, and was also featured on the CD sticker. It seems like an obvious single, though no follow-up singles to the first two have been explicitly stated.

The more and more I listen to the album the more sure I am that Dark Side is a surprise smash waiting to happen. It is just perfect and I think radio will eat it up. Different enough but still mainstream enough at the same time. It builds to pure epicness. It has to be the 3rd single and I think it will shock people in its performance.

Thanks for posting the video of 'I'll Be Home For Christmas', Focus. Sinus infection and all, that was my favourite KC rendition to date ! :o In backstage radio interview posted below, it is rather hilarious just how big fstans, the radio DJs are of Kelly.

It's currently my favourite song of all time by Kelly and I was affraid that if I play the song too often it wouldn't be as spectacular but.. it still is and stays (I hope/think)

Dark Side is great. Is there a way to pull up my posts in this thread? I believe I ranked the songs or gave my favorites with an early listen and I'm trying to find that post. I tried the search function but was unsuccessful.

That was GREAT from Kelly and The Fray. I always wonder how they work these songs out and know exactly how long to hold notes when singing together, etc. Kelly is known for never singing a song exactly the same way so I assume they practice backstage for a bit or something.

Not sure how it will do but I can see it sticking with the public. Hoping Let Me Down is a single down the line. Currently hooked on it atm

I tried the search function but was unsuccessful. At the top of the page in the toolbar row, select profile. Scroll down a bit and where it says "recent posts" enter a number (the default entry here is ten and the max entry is 1,000) and submit; this will pull up your most recent posts. Very random question but I'm sure you guys remember that photo of Kelly from the Breakaway era where she's wearing an off-the-shoulder Rolling Stones shirt. Anyone got a link to that? Nvmd, finally found it!

^^ Just listened to 'Christmas Song' by The Fray and Kelly. I am not at all a fan of his voice (in fact, I can not stand his tone), but the harmonies were gorgeous and Kelly's voice is so soulfully rich, strong in such a huge range, and possessive of probably my female head voice today.
Hearing that song reminded just how obvious it is, IMO, who influenced Kelly in her style of sing: from Aretha to Reba to Peggy Lee to Annie Lennox to Bette Midler to Mariah Carey.
For example, in her rendition of 'I'll Be Home For Christmas', her head voice sounds almost identical to Mariah Carey, especially in her prime: listen to this HQ video from December 1, 2011 and even with Kelly's sinus infection, she is has probably smoothest, most velvety Mariah-esque head voice today (1:34, 2:04, 2:10, 3:24):
____________________________________________________________________
I've really enjoyed watching the loads of video entries from every part of the world for Kelly's video for 'Stronger'. I just saw this one which has 4 little girls who are incredible- I had to share:
