I mean I know that Robin Thicke is not the most likable guy anyway but OH. MY. GOD. the Kelly shade brigade just will not stop rolling on his ass and I kind of love it.
Re: the songs, definitely MLWSWY (I swear that song represents everything I hate about the industry in one neat and tidy ball), but she references "songs" in the plural, so I wonder what else she might be referring to.

Does anyone else think the era is almost dead? To be honest, I feel like it never got started. It's not dead on HAC but the jury is still out on Pop. Depends what they do with Invincible and what the next single is, if they even push one.

Depends what they do with Invincible and what the next single is, if they even push one. agree about it feeling like it never started. she has done a lot of promo appearances on a bunch of REALLY high profile shows. IDOL, VOICE, BBMA, IHEART, ELLEN, etc. but they spaced out at very wierd times. I think RCA thought if they just let HS song "hang out" it would end like a nice sized hit like MKIA or CMB... and that never really happened. I know its been said but her weight is definatly a problem. She just doesnt seem as confident performing these days and i believe the weight is the problem. And i always hear people argue "kelly was never thin... or kelly was never a sex symbol". but Kelly was thin on American Idol. the first time her weight started gaining was during My Decmeber era and then it started really becoming a topic in the AIEW era. the reason no one cares that Adelle is over weight is bc when Adelle became famous in the USA she was already overweight, so we have never known her any other way.

Courtesy jokc at the KCE. A small clip of Kelly singing "Invincible" for the Macy's thing. And yes, WOW, on that note.

I've had the complete opposite feeling from her this era; I think she exudes confidence and an enviable carefree attitude.
She's also hopeful now she's free to pursue whatever music she wants.

i feel the era is still alive. she is promoting, performing, releasing new single, new interviews, award shows performances (to a certain degree). she couldve pulled a christina and just doesnt promote at all after the album was a month old.
just because the public arent buying the product and arent checking for kelly (aside from her weight), it doesnt mean the era is dead to me.
dead era would be my december lol. it was just a long silence w no news, no single after Sober failed to take off, no award show performances (aside from teen choice award). nothing. the era was dead as soon as My December album was released.
btw im a little dissapointed she did hbs and invincible on macys firework spectacular. i wanted her to honor America and sing something patriotic and slay ala her America The Beautiful opening performance in 2003.

I think the "Fun" songs should be higher in the tracklist than the Album would be a little bit better

with the airplay position on HAC, I'm at a loss for the iTunes position of 414. zero audience connection for Invincible.

Her AI on HAC is still small, around 10 million I think? It's nothing like the AI she would have if she was in the same position on CHR.

Honestly the lack of interest in this era is not surprising. I am a huge fan of Kelly Clarkson and I always will be. Here is the problem it has nothing to do with her talent at all because in comparison to 90% of the "artist" out there she is at the top. The problem with this era is RCA refuses to put in the type of money that it takes to make their artist(Kelly) successful. Now a days it isn't about the quality of music that is put out, it's about the record companies making songs a success. They figure out ways(money) to get their artist played on the radio every hour on the hour, which in turn makes the consumer want to purchase or stream the song or album. The other thing "album sales" are determined by how many units are shipped and some record companies ship out more albums then are actually sold yet they are getting credit for it. Now go to a store and look at some "big name artist" album. How many copies of that album are on the shelves, and how many shelves are there? I suspect that RCA is aware or suspects that Kelly will be looking for another contract soon, if she hasn't already secured one, and they do not want to invest any money to help her. Honestly though have they really ever put in the money for her. This is why we as her true fans must do what ever we can to get Kelly's music out there through word of mouth and actually requesting her music at our local radio stations. She deserves way better than RCA has given her.

It actually seems like Kelly and RCA are on a fairly similar page (or at least the same chapter). It's in the label's best interest to have a profitable artist... BUT if a particular artist has no interest in being the biggest star in the world (Kelly), then WHY would they spend a bunch of money to promote her? From a business standpoint, I understand why they haven't done nearly as much promo. If you have an artist like Taylor Swift (who clearly wants to be as big of a star as possible), the label is going to come out guns blazing because they know it will be hugely profitable for them in the long run. RCA isn't the problem. They are doing what any normal business would do.
I think Kelly wants to remain big enough that she can go out and do a fun tour, but small enough that she gets the time and privacy with her family that she wants. And because of that, RCA isn't going to spend more money than they will get back.

Do we think RCA has turned a profit on PBP yet? I can't see how they would have

^ to hell with RCA!
It's becoming pretty clear to me that Kelly's just not that into this era. Not saying she isn't 100% behind her music or anything, but with River, trying to get pregnant again, and her excitement of being free from her original contract, it just seems like she's ready to move on.
I don't expect much more to come out of PBP.

Yeah, granted there have been a lot of interview questions about "what's next," but she talks a lot more about her next project than her current one, which is only 3 months old....

I kind of wantmore music from her before she gets pregnant again. Assuming she lays low during the pregnancy again, we could be looking at nothing new until 2017 at the earliest, which I'm like.....

^I really think that depending on how things go with her new contract, she will drop the country album she's been talking about during her pregnancy. It would be the ideal time to do that. She can still promote it for the first few months (hopefully she doesn't have that god awful sickness she got with the first pregnancy) then focus on the baby's birth and all that afterward. I can't see it being a huge runaway success anyhow (her country response has been somewhat tepid outside of her duets). But, I guess it'll all depend on where and what she signs for her new contract (if she hasn't already signed - not sure how that all works - can she sign while she has a current album out with another label?).

Yeah, like someone stated below....her AI is still nothing compared to the big Pop hits. Look at Rob Thomas' new song, Trust You, for comparison. AI on HotAC is about 6.7 million and the song is around 1000-1100 on iTunes. So Kelly's Invincible looks pretty good to me. LOL! Love Rob but it's hard to move massive digital downloads to kids under 10 when you are 43.

the song is just simply isnt connecting w the public at the moment. you cant really compare it to rob thomas' single. Invincible also has been performed several times in US television. (Billboard music award and the Voice finale are pretty major promo spots), and we still have the 4th of july performance coming up soon. i will never get the idea behind releasing Invincible as a single, especially at the start of summer. the song also had no momentum following the underperformance of HBS. we'll see if RCA will release anymore singles after this. she needs a single on rotation on radio to go along with her new tour. im so excited for the tour i cannot wait, i didnt get to see her live at all last year. for people here who has never seen kelly live, get urself a ticket and go. her voice live is just unbelievable, not only her huge range, but also her tone and power. #legend
