Forgive me Mother for I have sinned.
The cover was a perfect fit for her voice right now, and Ready is my favorite Kelly song (after Close Your Eyes), so I was ALIVE tonight. I'll post some video later maybe, but 1) videos aren't doing her justice 2) cameras add weight and 3) prepared to be slain if you have tickets later this tour.
She is obviously (and glaringly so) not doing big chest notes this tour. It's a clear, conscious choice. It's not an "Oh no I don't have the breath for this" thing. She is (as always) intentionally planning and choosing to hold back; and use head voice instead. People don't always notice live, if we're being honest, because they're singing their own heads off.
The best part of the show is the stretch where it's just her and the piano. No one could deny Piece by Piece or Because of You. She really should fire whoever was mixing the sound tonight. She was drowned out by the drums and the keyboard was non-existing.
The KC Classic was Ready, which is my favorite album track and the demo is even better. When she said she was singing it, I don't know what I did, but my best friend looked at me and said "I've never seen you do that before. I've never seen you this happy."
Lastly, she needs to fire her stylist, because she looks like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs made a dress out of Fraggles.

I love that she's been getting responses from almost every artist she's covered so far (with the exception of Miley). It really shows how well-respected she's become over the last few years.

I'm kinda bummed that she dropped Already Gone. That's always been my favorite ballad, even more so than Because of You. Aside from that Halo controversy and video cutting off the final chorus for whatever unknown reason, that song is perfection!

No she didn't get a response from Rihanna. And she got a tweet from Lisa Marie Presley, so I counted that as being from Elvis. Was just trying to show how most artists are acknowledging Kelly's interpretations of their songs. You all can calm down now.

What I find funny is that many people think it's a new thing. Ironically, considering she rose to fame thanks to.. well.. covers.
She must've covered 300+ songs by now?! Anyone here counting?

I'm still kinda just meh with most of the covers. Again it's not because of her singing just the choices themselves. I'm not at all familiar with this Valerie song. I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing it.
Just listened to that cover and finally I'm in love with a cover from this tour. Make music like that Kelly.

Damn, can't believe Reba and Narvel are splitting up. That puts her in a super awkward position. Hope it doesn't affect her relationship with Reba.

Oh man. First Miranda and Blake and now this. Dang, I've been under a rock. I didn't realize this had finally become official (always figured there was some fire where the smoke was though; tabs have been running stories about their relationship for years now). But nooooooo Reba and Narvel :( That's terrible both from a personal and professional standpoint. Kelly has always loved them both and I can't imagine how in the middle of everything she must feel right now. PxP is already an emotional song but I wonder if all this going on contributed to her being so teary-eyed about it recently.

The statement released by Reba & Narvel mentioned that they've been separated for the past several months. Still, I'm sure it's got to be rough, especially for this to now have gone public.

Nice plaque! Was she not at 21 mil before PXP? And do I sense some butt kissing from RCA to get her to stay with them?

Her wiki page says 25 million (cited article for this is no longer on its webpage though, but that indicates it wasn't a number pulled out of thin air). I know I have seen 22 and 23 million at various points. Granted, it was all probably a bit of inflation/rounding up for the sake of press, but it would be nice if the label would keep it consistent.

i love the way she did Just Missed The Train live during Independent Tour, it was so much better than the studio version with the little changes she did on the choruses. so good. well minus the guitar playing of course lol what were they thinking with that one??!! i cant wait for the video.
it's nice to know that we have her official sales number now, over 21 million WW ALBUM sold!! the plaque IS kind of weird, but always good nonetheless. but why 21? such an odd number to be celebrated. how much of it was from Breakaway? didnt it do 12 million WW?
