even if she can somehow just hover around 10k/ NOT plummet before Duets and DS hits Id have peace of mind. I think Im finally convinced w/ most you regarding their 'plan'. Its seems theyre well aware and okay w/ her album sales sinking a bit before the new single/TV show hit, but feel its worth the risk and investment to get the double exposure factor (song/ good powerful video and TV show ) which in all likelihood will end up pumping up record sales even more than if just the single was being released next week or what not. But I just wish all of this was happening sooner lol.

She does look stunning. I like her dress. It's unusual in a good way. Trend-setter Kelly?

Her face looks absolutely beautiful, the dress is very flattering and... interesting. I suppose it does grab the eye, but I'm a bit lukewarm on the pattern.
This video could either end up being laughably hokey or genuinely inspirational-- they walk a thin line between the cliché and the sincere, and that will be their biggest challenge to overcome. "Firework", while lauded by some, has always been hokey to me. It could be the pessimist coming out in me (and the video certainly wasn't aided by the corny lyrics), but I hope for some more mystery and artistic choices in this video.

That's the worst dress I've ever seen on a normal human being.
She still looks great.

I still don't know if I like that dress or not. I guess I'll just have to wait for the video to see how it fits. Hopefully that's only one of many scenes and that there's plenty of interesting surprises left.
At least Kelly looks AMAZING. She reminds me of BOYelly except with darker hair.

It's starting to get some airplay in the UK now, with the Capital radio network starting to spin it. Not to mention a spin from Capital FM & BBC Radio 2 (Two big radio stations here).
Kelly looks stunning! Can't wait for the video's release!

Well, it took a very loud car stereo and a look at the pics of her at the video shoot, but I think I have finally come around to this. I think part of the problem was I was overlooking the beat that IS actually present in the verses.

I actually like that outfit on her, especially the shading and choice of colors. Did an adds date get confirmed for this? I can't remember.

FMQB has it for a 6/5 adds date. AllAccess doesn't show any songs for adds past 5/29, although they do show album releases through 6/26. I highly doubt no songs are going for adds in June though

She looks nice from the neck up, but that dress is heinous.

I bought the album and finally got to hear the song. It's a good song but not sure if it's a good choice for single....

Thanks.
After looking at more of those pictures, I'm thinking that the video might give the song a summer vibe. I really can't wait to see how this does.

Josh answered like 3 posts above you. Sigh. So does that mean I can't also comment on the same subject? I don't understand the point of a post like yours. It isn't like this thread is so busy right now that more than one person commenting on the same subject gets in the way or anything. I could easily have missed it, but don't believe there has been any official confirmation of an adds date. Maybe what Josh posted qualifies as confirmation, but to me "official" would be if an adds date came from RCA, Kelly or one of her representatives. To the best of my knowledge, we haven't had word from any of them yet.

Does the video have a release date? Or does anyone have a rough idea of when it will be out? Shouldn't be too long I hope.

All of the videos for the era have come out nearly a month after they were filmed. Since Dark Side's video was filmed on April 28, we should expect the video to be released at the very end of this month or early June to coincide with the adds date.

To the best of my knowledge, we haven't had word from any of them yet. If you're going to comment and give misleading information, yes I feel the need to correct things. Especially since you asked on the previous page and the question was answered. The question was answered again on this page and you ignored it belittling things to "a blog or two". To put it in your own wording "It isn't like this thread is so busy right now that you can't read what's been posted or what people have specifically answered you on." FMQB is a longstanding music industry magazine affiliated with Mediabase (whereas AllAccess is just a website affiliated with Mediabase). These resources are used by radio programmers/stations themselves for information and adds dates. It's not RCA's or Kelly's job to tell a radio adds date to music listeners/the public on Twitter or on their own website or a spoken statement (these can happen, but it's not to be taken as required). It's their job to get these dates reported to official sources such as Mediabase/FMQB so that they can be posted and radio stations across the country can be aware of the upcoming single and prepare their playlists for the song.

I think they'd just take some official snaps of her at the music video like they did with Stronger. A bit like this. (Fanmade, not by me)

you ignored it belittling things to "a blog or two". You are projecting. I didn't belittle anything. Just made a simple one-sentence statement beginning with, "I'm still not sure..." There really isn't much room for misunderstanding. I'm STILL not sure if there is an OFFICIAL adds date even though we have a date from a few sources. It's no big deal. On the list of things to worry about in life, it's really an incredibly minor thing. Why you feel the need to get your shorts all in a twist over it is beyond me. Shrug.

FMQB and AllAccess are the 'official' sources for adds dates.

FMQB and AllAccess are the 'official' sources for adds dates. Thank you. I didn't know that, at least not about FMQB. My entire knowledge of anything to do with the music business comes from the five minutes or so a day I spend reading Pulse. From here, I know about All Access, but never heard of FMQB until seeing it linked on this thread a couple of days ago. That's when Freakshow posted this to me: "I'm pretty sure this site isn't as trusted as sites like All Access for reporting adds dates, but it seems to make sense." There you have it...you say FMQB is "official." You even put official in quotes. Freakshow said it isn't as trusted as All Access. I come along with zero knowledge of any of this stuff other than what I read here, and say I'm still not sure if we have an official adds date. Why something so inconsequential is worthy of a scolding from another poster is beyond me. A sense of humor really does help a body get along in this crazy world. :)

Those sites are as official as adds dates get.
When it comes to you getting a 'scolding' it seems to me like you are, in your words, 'projecting' onto people who were actually trying to help.

The good thing about its adds date, besides getting promo at the Billboard Music Awards, Duets, and possibly American Idol to coincide with it, is that it'll allow "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" to properly decline on radio without competing for spins (which should help with the end-of-the-year charts) and give "Dark Side" an easier rise. And while there will always be competition and that alone shouldn't be a reason to delay a release, but, if you think about it, the hype for Gotye, Rihanna, Carly Rae Jepsen, fun., and Maroon 5 should be dying down/peaking around then or sometime soon thereafter potentially making room for "Dark Side" to smash. Ke$ha's new single could be a threat, but we don't know how good it is or if it's even officially slated for a release anytime soon. It seems RCA is aiming for this to be the summer song of 2012. It's not the 'conventional' summer single, but I think that will only work in its favor by making it stand out more.

From the Hot 100 thread. First day it's shown up, I believe. Let's just see how high this can go.

I guess you missed the part about "sense of humor." Really...people need to lighten up. This is only an internet forum devoted to music, not even remotely important.
