That announcement is the sweetest thing ever. :'(
I almost teared up watching that, and I'm not even a Kelly fan. She's so lovely. Congrats, Kelly!

Also, glad the comments about her weight will finally stop. Can't stop, won't stop. Take that, take that. /diddy With River, Kelly actually had to reveal her pregnancy a bit earlier than the end of the first trimester, because she was getting so sick that she was cancelling performances. That's the main reason I asked. It doesn't seem like this pregnancy has affected her as severely so far, though. The secondary reason is I just want to know when to expect her to give birth...if we assume she's just past the 3 month mark, we're looking at late January/February, I believe. I think that lays to rest any ideas of her being at the Grammys.

Preach!
Demi must be geeking out at her cover choice, if she knows!

By the way, that is not a new version of Sober. Maybe slight changes in instrumentation or something but she has most definitely sang that version before.

Since it's one of my all-time-faves by her I know every single tour and non-tour version of it. She's never used this instrumentation, so it was reason enough for me to say it's a new one. It's piano-driven before the big part starts and that part was very rhytmic. You won't find it like this anywhere else. It's very similar to her Stronger Tour (request) version, but even that was guitar-driven before the big part. Hope I made myself clear, but, yeah, NOT a huge, but a noticable difference.

She's such an amazing vocalist..I was lost in the song and felt every emotion! Almost had me in tears when she made the announcement. The only downside is she'll be due around the time of the Grammys so a proper performance is unlikely.

Let's be real, she wasn't going to the Grammys anyway. I want her to finish the tour, have an uneventful pregnancy, give birth to Brandon Jr. and then record that smash comeback album. I'd also like her to make an appearance on the Idol series finale next May. She started it, she should finish it.

There is no question that she needs to be on the series finale next May - like that is a 1000% must, she needs to mark her calendar for that already. Looking forward to a smash comeback album (that I honestly don't see happening) in Fall '16 or Winter '17.

Well with everything going on, im def nervous about booking tickets. I was going to go to London and Dublin show and Ill prob book both because she may cancel one, or both or none. Bummer timing and like all of you I thought she would of waited, but who knows what happened. Guess this will make it 5 years that she has missed travelling for tour (ie. Stronger she couldn't go over international places due to DUETS and GH, GH she only did America, Christmas she cancelled promo for preg and now preggers again). Hopefully the next album she can reach those fans outside of UK/North America.
Congrats to her tho and really hope I get to see her and some of you at the Dublin/London shows! Woot!
Also, I won't hold my breath that she will be on Idol, she will at least send a message or something but until we know how it all goes everything from here on out is TBD haha. #Suspense

Kelly's album sales for "Piece By Piece" are just under 194,900; the album sold roughly 2,100 copies for the week ending August 13, 2015.
Sales of her "Greatest Hits" album -- which re-entered the Billboard 200 chart this week at #132 -- are at about 641,400. The week's sales were roughly 2,600 copies.
*Edited because I'd mixed up my numbers. Sorry!

She sold more of her Greatest hits album? Geez. Is that because of the touring?

I'd say timing... it was released before Christmas I believe I don't think he meant the sales overall, but the weekly sales of the GH currently being higher. I would guess touring is helping both albums stick around the 2k mark, but general media coverage for her covers, pregnancy announcement, Jimmy Kimmel skit, etc. probably leads a few more people to get the GH rather than the latest album.

Regarding the big drop in album sales, I really feel like streaming has become king in the last year. Granted, I haven't been following 2015 album sales, but I can't imagine anyone apart from Taylor has done particularly well in that area. I'm only speaking from personal experience, but Piece By Piece is the only new album I've bought this year. Everyone else I've just listened to on Spotify, and that's usually where I listen to Piece By Piece even though I own it.

It was also $5.99 on iTunes :)

^ Now there's a song I completely forgot about and thought I would never hear live. It's nice to see her doing My December again, even if it's only one song every couple of shows.
I'm also somewhat shocked at how good she's been with the lyrics for all of her old songs.

^ that's because she's got the lyrics in front of her for all her songs now haha. I think starting the GH tours she's gotten tvs placed around the stage showing the lyrics karaoke style.

She's doing all my favorite classics in CA! :'( Sober, Addicted, How I Feel....surprised she hasn't thrown Let Me Down in yet. Guess it's nice to have the videos at least.

I think its cute that she pretends not to know that HIF/Sober were on My December. Its okay Kelly, you're allowed to know your catalogue.

she didnt even remember if I Do Not Hook Up was from AIEW or Stronger now she wasnt sure about her HIF was from My December hmmm. maybe MD wasnt as special to her as i thought, and she doesnt hate AIEW as much as i thought.

I know it isn't the end of the world but should Kelly put out a 3rd single before the Grammy deadline, which usually is the beginning of September, isn't it? If they wanted any chance at something becoming a hit and getting a Grammy nom then they need to release it. Piece by Piece or Take You High are the only options, IMO. I doubt either would do much and get a nomination but might as well release now. Plus she could do a little promo before getting too far along with the pregnancy if radio takes to it.

I'd love them to release Take You High and when she's all hyped up again Run Run Run and then close with Piece By Piece, but oh well. I can dream. Too bad I'm not older so I could be her manager! Off-topic: Recently I proved to one of my best friends why Kelly is so awesome live. He'd only seen her lazy performances before. One more person who appreciates her more It reminded me of what I love most in her voice. The pain - the soul - the rawness! As heard in Ain't No Way, That I'd Be Good/Use Somebody, 7 Nation Army, Up To The Mountain, I Know You Won't... I hope she captures that on record! but like on every song! She can let go of her high pitch.. it's not like she likes singing her songs like they sound on record
