I am expecting to love it but I am not expecting it to be a radio smash. I just think it has been a long time since Kelly has written a song that screams radio smash. Unless I am having a brain fart and totally forgetting something... Already Gone was the last release. And Let Me Down and Don't Be A Girl About it have really strong, catchy melodies (though are a bit plagued by other issues that keep them from being sure-fire smashes), and several of the leaked demos were great uptempo pop songs.

Kelly has written some that were definitely close to being smash potential but something just isn't there. Maybe it has been because radio has had such a uniform sound until recently and Kelly doesn't have that sound (thank goodness). However, I really feel like radio has been embracing other sounds and that seems to be continuing so maybe that wont hold this back.

^^ Forgive me if I missed something, but to recap, the single will be released digitally on October 16 and the GH record will be released November 19, correct ? Is there any word when song will be released to radio (assuming no leaks which is rare for Kelly) or when we may hear a snippet ?
I ask because RCA must be uber-confident that this single will be able to stand up to what is IMO the most competitive digital sales chart that I have seen in years.
There are SO many commercially successful artists releasing or having recently released their lead single(s) from their new eras:
1. Taylor Swift 2. One Direction 3. Kesha 4. Rihanna 5. Pink 6. Bruno Mars 7. Christina Aguilera 8. New Adele song 9. Kelly Clarkson
The only artists missing from the list are Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga, lol......

Taylor will prb not hold up long, same with One Direction. Pink also prob won't burst to #1 and I don't see Christina Doing too well. I would say Rihanna, Kesha and Adele will be Kelly's prime competition

I'm beyond excited for this! Hopefully it will stack up. I want this to be successful like P!nk's and not fall short like X-Tina's.

neally, i read somewhere that an adds date is planned for October 23rd but have no confirmation on that.
The intense competition is one of the reasons I wouldn't be shocked if RCA isn't necessarily looking for a mega-smash single out of this. Maybe a buzz single is enough for them at this point? I hope this is a giant hit but so much tells me otherwise, either way it should still be able to do very decently.

It goes for pop radio adds on October 23, but considering the digital release date is a week earlier than that, I would venture to guess radio will get it on or before the 15th.

I would say Rihanna, Kesha and Adele will be Kelly's prime competition It's unwise to underestimate the competition, especially Taylor. She just set the record for single-day downloads with Red, her third song in the top 10 on iTunes, and she may not be done releasing songs from the album. I think she's the single biggest threat, though it's more the general magnitude of big releases that's the biggest threat. But with a great song, she'll be fine.

I don't know if she set the overall record, or just hers. BTW I'm sure had a HUGE first day.

Are those two a duo or did I just watch a Voice-like faceoff? I haven't been watching so I have no idea what is going on here. They sounded nice but on stage it was as if they wanted nothing to do with each other. The first girl covered well; someone should tell her it's okay b/c Kelly used to change lyrics on the fly all the time I still crack up over "All I wanted was horses."

It HAS to be about something with the Greatest Hits. Hopefully, he has single #2 off the GH.

I'd be very careful. Breakaway and SUBG sound nothing alike. She also said it reminded her of the "Kelly who sang" those songs, not of the songs themselves which as I said would be a contradiction anyway. I'm really not sure what to take out of that comment other than that person is an idiot for not liking Stronger.

Kelly hasn't had a single she can rock out to in quite some time. I hope to see some headbanging. I am expecting to love it but I am not expecting it to be a radio smash. I just think it has been a long time since Kelly has written a song that screams radio smash. Unless I am having a brain fart and totally forgetting something... Even her fans believe this. Do Hodges and Moody get credit for Because of You(the biggest hit of Kelly's career internationally)?

I'm really curious as to who produces Catch My Breath. Hopefully it was Kirstin or Darkchild!

What is up with some of you people thinking Get Up will be on the album? It was for heavens sake released for free and it was part of Pepsi NFL or w/e the heck it was.
I highly doubt it will be part of the GH, I hope it isn't.

I don't think Get Up will be on the Greatest Hits either. I don't think RCA would put a song on there that caters to a very specific region and could potentially turn off other customers.

Well if the Cowboys song wasn't corny I believe it would do really well. I mean look a Empire State of Mind and California Girls. They have a certain region and they did well. Texas is also a huge state and I think it could in theory do well. However, the song is corny but in a good way, but not suited for radio at all.
