Not too hard to believe, but a little tidbit I found out while seeing Caitlyn Smith last night. Before singing "Like I'm Gonna Lose You," which she co-wrote with Meghan Trainor, she mentioned that she and Meghan wrote the song pre-Meghan's fame for Kelly in mind and they pitched it to her (or her team, I assume) and they turned it down. Such a shame. That song is miles better than "Run Run Run" and far more suitable for radio, too.

I tend to stop listening after "Run Run Run." The first six tracks just give me so much life that everything afterward pales in comparison.

RRR is the only song on the album I skip EVERYTIME> i find the last 2 minutes to be unlistenable. the screaming is just too much and its all way too loud and jarring.
In The Blue is my fav, i think its one of the best songs she has ever recorded

Run Run Run might be the better song, but the meghan/john duet is far more commercial & radio friendly, actually has strong hooks and way catchier than Run3X. its not even close.

I actually find myself listening to the latter half of the CD more, starting with my favorite song Tightrope.

As stellar as the first half of the album is, I also find myself returning more and more to the latter half. RRR, DWM, GGTB, and WP are my most played tracks. Tightrope and PBP are also up there. After having sat with the album for a while now, granted with the thought in my head planted by another poster here a while ago, I think that War Paint would have been the perfect song to lead the campaign. It's indicative of the rest of the album, has those angsty vocals that people salivate for from Kelly and presents a compelling visual opportunity. I think RCA got it all wrong with the single choices...but I usually think that about them.

Both performances were her best vocals of the entire era so far.

I still think HBS is a hit, I mean its radio decline amazes me for song released back in January, Its sales have been really steady despite pop support and everytime she promotes the song it soars up, I really do think pop radio is responsible for the lack of success this era. People obviously like the song, AC and HotAC obviously consider it a successs and the people buying it on itunes keeps it steady. The fact that 6 months later and its still one of the Top 70 played songs on radio right now despite falling off pop just urks me. I know we have to get use to pop ignoring Kellys songs but when its such a steller hit on other formats and charts it urks the hell out of me. No pop support is a reason the album is falling I believe.
Had to rant, I was disappointed by Dark side but hey it was a dark song in the summer of 2012 with major pop anthems to compete not to mention Stronger was still soaring high. I got over CMB due to the fact it did decent on Pop and rocked other charts and sales and overall radio. People Like us was a surprise to me but at the end of the day I was happy with the Hits era. Now with HBS it is the first time Im just overall sour at how it was handled. I always thought from day one, despite some thinking its generic and whatever else, I always thought it was a smash pop song and I need to pour a glass a wine to get over it hahahah
WHos with me...Drinks? Drinks all around!
