I'm going to die if she cancels! I mean I understand that it may be neccessary but I've been waiting for her to come to Montreal for a long time and I've been so excited for it! Same with me! Last time I saw her here in Montreal was at the Place des Arts during the Breakaway tour. I'm not even sure she came back after that?! I hope we get to know soon if she will be cancelling cuz I would make plans to see her somewhere else. Yeah I didn't even get to see her that time because I didn't have my own money back then as I was just 14 and didn't have a job or parents who would let me go lol Really hoping if she does cancel that she reschedules it to a later date after the baby is born and if not I'm with you I'll try to go to a different date that is sooner. P.S. yay at least one other Montreal pulse member will be at the show if it happens! :)

I gotta say I'm really disappointed with how RCA and Kelly both treated this album era. For Kelly this whole era seemed like nothing more than an after thought, and I get that she's a mom now too but I almost wish she had just pushed this back farther. The problem I have isn't even with the singles or promo or anything like that (although I would've done things differently if I were in charge, but that's beside the point), but just how this entire era has been...well, basically nothing other than the tour since like May. I absolutely think she should be putting her family first and I'm so happy she is, but at the same time she just seemed...not into it at all this era.
I hate to say it, but could we be looking at an early retirement for Kelly to focus on her family? She certainly has the $$$.
(And yes, I do get that there's been a considerable amount of Hot AC success for her this era, but my point isn't so much about the success of the album; my point is more with how Kelly doesn't seem as into her career as she was during previous eras. Even Wrapped in Red seemed to get more love from her, and almost all I've heard her talk about in interviews, etc. is her NEXT project which seems weird. Has she done this with any of her other albums? It just seems weird to me.)

I'm convinced heartbeat song could have done better if they would have promoted it the way they did Mr. Know it all.

I believe in 2011 she talked about how (at that time even) she could retire cause of $$$ but does it cause she loves it...
REMEMBER this is a girl who isnt here for the charts, which I love tbh cause who gives a f**k about them especially in this decade...
I love how Britney and her are the same in that way and put their FAMILY first

The concert last night was incredible. Again, she blew me away.
I think she realizes that Invincible was the wrong choice - I could tell with her singing it she was just going through the motions. And the way she introduced "Take You High" made it seem like that's her absolute favorite from this album at this point. She GUSHED about Take You High at both shows, and invincible sort of brushed over it, sang it, and then passed on.
My mom teared up during Piece By Piece, and everyone I was with said that was the absolute highlight of the night.
My boyfriend made a comment that Taylor Swift is performing at the Bridgestone Arena soon, and was impressed that Kelly can still perform at the same size venues as artists in their prime like Taylor. There were a few empty seats, but it was PACKED. I'm glad I got to see her (twice!) since this could sadly be one of the last big tours.
The set looks amazing no matter where you sit (I was front row to the heart in Denver, and last night I was lower level on the side) and the moving panels are impressive and allow for SUCH a cool and diverse set.
Overall, so happy with this tour. She performed my favorite songs from this album (Take You High and Piece By Piece) as well as her big hits. I could go to this concert every night and be happy.

Kelly, record a bluesy soulful (live?) cover album during your pregnancy. The world will thank you and you'll win all the awards. All of them.

That cover is everything. An album of material like that would be my favorite ever from her. It can be covers for all I care. That has always been Kelly's sweet spot and she should release something, even just an EP, with that kind of material.

I was at the Nashville show, and she was in brilliant voice. I had seen her very early on in the tour (Holmdel, NJ), and while she was great then, too, her vocal performance in Nashville was much better. I know she generally sounds stronger as a tour progresses, but I was especially impressed given the fact that she's pregnant. And she jumped around as usual. Clearly she's feeling good (or hiding it very well).

She has a big artist-ego. She won't cancel unless she really has to. However, her vocally most appealing tours were her AIEW and her Stronger Tour IMO. Esp the latter one. I'd still go to this one if it was nearer to Austria. The night I decided to fly to London for her was one day before she announced her pregnancy. Now it's really risky to even think about it. Am I a bad fan?
And as for the cover.. YASSS GREAT! Please make that kinda album !!! Dance what? R&B what ? THISSS!
oh and I remember a 2009 interview "I'll work as long as I can and retire when I'm old - that's my goal."

I'm hoping Bonnie Raitt says something about Kelly's cover. Something good of course.

Me too!
My favorite "Love Me Like a Man" video I've found so far, it's so good. Both great audio and video, with chatter before and after the song.

Phenomenal cover. She's using her voice exactly correctly for where it's at right now, which is decidedly not at the level it has been since 2009. But it is getting better, and her rich tone is good as ever.
I'd love her next album to be in that vein. Forget radio, forget aiming to a genre...just be soulful and all Kelly cowritten. But in the meantime, covers album please. The media is literally begging for it.

For the love of God, can RCA please toss out Piece by Piece as a freakin single. I refuse to accept that it will remain an album track for the rest of its existence. Release it, record a home video of her with River/getting ultrasounds for the new baby/spending time with hubby, perform it at the AMAs, submit it for Best Pop Vocal Performance at the Grammys, and give this song justice. At the very least it will smash on HAC/AC during the holidays...

If they don't release it now I hope she records it again for her country album.

Piece By Piece is the only song that I see getting any type of Grammy love. I wish she could perform it at the Grammys... doing that just piano version would SLAY EVERYONE. But she will either be almost ready to pop with holy child #2, or she will have just had holy child #2 so I don't see a performance happening.
As much as I love Take You High, if we even get another single, at this point the ONLY choice is Piece By Piece.

Kinda hoping they tack TYH onto her next album so it can pull a "Radar" and be released at some point. And nobody would notice its not a new song except the 7 of us here. ;)

theres almost 0% chance the grammys will even consider the whole Piece by Piece era. horrible sales number and no hit single. it will get overlooked.

Attachment DeletedSo bummed that I have to cancel some of my tour dates. This kills me, but doctors are saying I need to rest my voice! I can't wait to get healthy and see y'all back on the road soon. I hate canceling and I am truly sorry to my fans that have been excited to see this show. Please know that I never cancel anything unless it's absolutely necessary.

Sad for everyone who made plans to see her but we can all agree that health comes first. I was so scared to look at the image... Didn't want to see Montreal in there... Keeping my fingers crossed she won't cancel my show!

So worried for the London show but if she cancels I am grateful I got to see her once this tour. I feel bad for all the fans that had tickets to those shows but I am glad she is putting her health first.

She made it pretty far into the tour without a major break or illness. The pregnant probably adds some strain to her singing. I'd say the non-NA dates are in major jeopardy, but will hinge on how she recovers.
Wait why were there two shows in Vienna, VA?
