Sorry I want Kelly to grow into a artist, while people still want her to sing the same song time and time again lol.

CMB shows lyrical growth, but certainly not sonic growth.

Randomly googled Kelly and this came up. Seems like a big deal!

Associated Press, so yea?

[Jack]

OK. With all this more controversial talk about her future, I came up with a fun game about her past.

If you could create a 12-track album featuring any of the songs from any of Kelly's five albums - discounting the songs released as singles in the past, how would that look? And which songs would you pick as the five singles to promote the campaign?

Basically - pick your fantasy album, and fantasy singles from that album using songs that were never released as singles. Can be themed, random, whatever! Mine?

1) Alone (First single)
2) Gone (Second single)
3) Addicted (Third single)
4) The Day We Fell Apart (Fourth Single)
5) The War Is Over (Fifth Single)
6) Maybe
7) Just Missed The Train
8) Save You
9) Hello
10) You Love Me
11) Anytime
12) Irvine

[Peaches. [Ch, r. is]]

^ But you forgot Timeless, so that can't be right!

[pyrates]

I just want Kelly to sing songs that she can just wail on (I think that's the right word). Like 7 Nation Army, Home, or even like Heavy in Your Arms. I just want something that can really show off her voice.

[Jeff]

1. If I Can't Have You (1st Single)
2. Addicted (2nd Single)
3. Cry (3rd Single)
4. How I Feel (4th Single)
5. Let Me Down (5th Single)
6. Maybe
7. Hear Me
8. Honestly
9. Be Still
10. I Want You
11. Can I Have A Kiss
12. The War Is Over

^^^NU 21!!!

[dbhmr]

I wanna play! Buuut is this, like, her debut album then or what? I guess that's reading too deeply into it. If I could create a fantasy perfect album, it would take place after she won Idol and came out with Thankful (whoops, there goes any songs from that album) because I'm super hung up on that I-found-more-fame-than-I-bargained-for side of her:

Breakaway

01. One Minute [1st single]
02. You Can't Win [2nd single]
03. Hear Me
04. Honestly
05. Irvine
06. Save You [4th single]
07. Ready
08. Gone [3rd single]
09. Hello [5th single]
10. You Love Me
11. Maybe
12. Beautiful Disaster (live)

Grammy's everywhere.

(I really wanted the album title to be Hear Me but couldn't find a good picture and this Breakaway one was the dark look I was going for and the pic is obv iconic so.)

[franklin]

wow ok swap "Save You" for "Sober" and you have an even more iconic My December.

He can't have Sober! It was a single.

[franklin]

oop never mind it's perfect then. Actually I'd prefer TWIO but w/e

[bb]

Album Title: Tip of My Tongue

o1.) "The Day We Fell Apart" (Single #1)
o2.) "Let Me Down" (Single #2)
o3.) "One Minute"
o4.) "Tip of My Tongue" (Single #3)
o5.) "Why Don't You Try"
o6.) "The War is Over" (Single #5
o7.) "Gone"
o8.) "If I Can't Have You"
o9.) "Just Missed the Train"
10.) "How I Feel" (Single #4)
11.) "Save You"
12.) "You Love Me"
13.) "Maybe"

A bit of a more rhythmic affair, shows off her versatility while also sticking to a pop/rock/R&B vibe.

[Peaches. [Ch, r. is]]

Naturally, mine will be a 2 disk, self-titled debut album.

[o1] I Want You
[o2] You Love Me
[o3] Gone
[o4] Addicted
[o5] Where Is Your Heart
[o6] Cry
[o7] You Found Me
[o8] Alone
[o9] Don't Let Me Stop You
[1o] Hear Me
[11] Let Me Down
[12] Anytime

[13] Long Shot
[14] The Day We Fell Apart
[15] Honestly
[16] Can We Go Back
[17] Save You
[18] Maybe
[19] Impossible
[20] Be Still
[21] Why Don't You Try
[22] Irvine
[23] The War Is Over
[24] Chivas

The ordering isn't finalized yet :kii:

I really like Timeless.

In my college apartment I was drinking with friends in the kitchen and my roommate and her friends were watching FJ2K and that scene came on and I started singing along as if it were something not nearly so shameful, like, SUBG. They muted the movie and screamed from the living room, "Is someone singing along to this song?"

Died. I haaaaaate Justin's voice on it (but get a kick out of watching him butcher the ever-loving shit out of it on that one live performance) but Kelly sounds gorgeous and I kinda like it too.

PERFECTION. Going off of Kelly's track record, If I Can't Have You is the only song not released that would be a surefire hit, so releasing it first works perfectly. Everything else would be pretty risky.

[kylecburke]

Here's the peaks
"A Moment Like this" (single Sales) #1 1.05 million+

[SoMuchToSay]

I would have the non-single singles like this:

1. I Forgive You (I'm still pissed off at this never getting released. This coulda been 1st off Stronger)
2. If I Can't Have You (the "should have been" 4th single from AIEW)
3. Cry (this would've been huge had Already Gone not existed)
4. Let Me Down
5. Beautiful Disaster (just for my own selfish reasons)

TIIIIIIIMELESSS

i may or may not be drunk right now


BUT HOLY CRAP
CAN WE GO BACK IS THE PERFECT NAME FOR A GREATEST HITS
HOW DID NOBODY THINK OF THAT
EVEN THOUGH CWGB ISNT THAT GREAT BUT STILL

[Jay]

Kind of separate to this non-singles album thing, but I really think the AIEW era should've gone like this:

1) "Already Gone" - with the first single hype and being released before Halo, it could've definitely gone Top 3, probably #1
2) "Don't Let Me Stop You" - it's as catchy IDNHU but more relatable topped off by killer vocals. With the promotion and hype of releasing her first poppy uptempo single since the Breakaway era, I think it could've gone Top 10, maybe Top 5 on the Hot 100.
3) "The Day We Fell Apart" - I think radio (Pop and HAC) would eat this up and it's one of her best uptempo songs ever. Top 10
4) "If I Can't Have You" - A change of pace from 2 uptempo rock/pop songs in a row that is different for her but very much in line with what radio was playing then. Top 20
5) "My Life Would Suck Without You" - being the biggest smash on the album, it wouldn't matter much when in the era it's released. Easy Top 3.
6) Throw out either "Cry", "I Want You", or "Long Shot" to radio. If any underperformed, it wouldn't matter much since it's a sixth single.

Am I the only one that thinks this could work? AIEW could've been huge for her imo with these singles.

[xline06]

Title : Alone

01. Alone - "2nd single"
02. Don't Let Me Stop You - 3rd single"
03. Gone
04. Bleed For Me - "1st single"
05. The War Is Over - 5th single"
06. Tell Me A Lie - "4th single"
07. I Forgive You
08. You Can't Win
09. The Day We Fell Apart
10. Just Missed The Train
11. You Found Me
12. Breaking Your Own Heart

I still really love all tracks from Stronger. We got only 3 tracks as singles and this is not good to her, too. Anyway these are all of my favorites except single materials and filled with full of emotions about "Alone". So I picked it up as title. XD

I think AIEW has full of single materials. Don't Let Me Stop You should have been released as 2nd single or 4th single following Already Gone. If I Can't Have You, Cry, Long Shot, and so on. AIEW also has great tracks as bonus tracks as Stronger does.

[Deleted]

Assuming you're using the same time table that they did for AIEW, Beyonce's album was still out before Kelly's first single, and she released Halo as a single in January (I think a week after MLWSWY). So it actually would not have gotten out ahead of Halo, in fact they would have run right into one another and it would have been an even bigger mess. If they could have just gotten AG out ahead of Halo, I do think that could have worked.

I was telling a friend a couple of weeks ago that I would have done this (forgive the lack of caps, too lazy to retype):

1. if i can't have you (jan-mar)
2. the day we fell apart (apr-june)
3. tip of my tongue (july-sept.)
*4. already gone (rearranged version for radio/itunes release) (oct.-jan)
5. long shot (feb-may)
6. my life would suck without you (may-jul)

*Or, AG could have been switched with Cry and I think this still could have worked. I agree that MLWSWY is an easy hit no matter when it is released which is why I saved it for last, to really end the era on a high note and also get it as close to the summer as possible. Probably would have lasted longer than the three months I gave it.

I'm going to play the non-singles game a little later
