Ugh. Kelly needs to put some effort into music videos. It's just the same movement over and over since Already Gone.

I wish she'd pull a Sarah McLachlan and release the tour version with strings added.
Like Sarah did here
Adele's coming back in November so they'd be the only two having stripped down singles, but well

The radio edit is awful. I don't expect the song to do anything and I'm definitely not expecting a video, so whatever. I'd rather her promote a song off her Christmas album instead.

The radio mix is um ... interesting lol I really did not expect a whole new different production, this is first for a kelly clarkson single. An official radio mix!! How exciting!! They def gave more punch to the chorus, the new beat brings more ooomph. The chorus hits harder. Her big voice is front and center during the verses. Sounds more powerful in the new version.
The song carries a very serious tone, but the music and even melody is so happy and bright and very very catchy ..
Now, bring on a pretty single cover please!!
I wonder about the label's motivation behind this late push. Invincible ended months ago. Is it holiday sales that they are after?? (90% holiday sales will go to adele anyway, with the 10% to 1989 lol) Or are they trying to win kelly to re-sign with RCA? I hope they part ways, lots of aspects and elements in her career need re-evaluation and/or make over. Bring in new people!

I'm not 100% completely anti-radio edit. Yeah, it rips the soul out of the album version, but that wouldn't even go Top 50. This at least gives it an outside shot to chart SOMEWHERE. That cheapass snare rim can go, though.
PS Where are the Dance With Me remixes? We know they exist. Dump the rest of the era's material out there already!

I love the radio mix version on PxP! The original one sounds older than new version (Yes, because of 80s flavor) so this is good for me.
I also prefer an album version but it's not that bad and seems to fit to radio!
Hope for the digital or physical single EP : - Radio Mix - Album Version - Acoustic Version - Other Remixes or Instrumental Version

Accoustic version would be lovely! An official studio version tho, not a live concert recording.

Is it too late to petition for TYH?
I love the original PxP but this new radio edit quite honestly ruins the song. I thought it'd be subtle like Taylor's WD or Tove Lo's Moments but this is awful.

I like the radio edit. Is it better than the album version? Of course it's not, it's generic, but at least it makes the already formidable melodic chorus even catchier. Hopefully this does something, Piece by Piece is without a doubt one of the finest songs in her catalogue to date, and after Addicted, Maybe, Sober, If I Can't Have You or Let Me Down getting the cold shoulder as singles, it's nice to finally have a fan favorite released as an official single.

I mean, I prefer the album version, but this doesn't ruin the song at all IMO. It honestly sounds like more a hit to me now (it never did with the original version IMO, amazing song or not). This. The album version is far superior and I was always gunning for it to be a single just because it's the album's best song (to me) and Kelly had such a personal connection to it. But this radio edit makes it a total ear worm that I think the average radio listener would gravitate to. I hope it succeeds.

I don't hate the edit at all, but I don't think it's any more radio-friendly than the album version - in fact I'd say it's slightly less so. It sounds more like a commissioned club remix than a 'pop' radio mix. I hope HAC sticks with the album version. I'm not expecting pop to touch it much either way.
(edit - I will admit that this last thought has kind of turned me off of any discussion of what on this album is or isn't radio-friendly. I just don't think anything off the album stands much of a chance of being a hit on the strength of its own merits, with Kelly not being up for promotion and RCA being unlikely to give anything more of a push than what they gave to the first two singles. Plus Adele will likely fully satiate radio's need for a "mature" midtempo/ballad and that will be that. I'm admittedly pessimistic about PxP's chances any way you cut it, but trying not to dwell on that too much and just concentrate on it being a great song from a great album.)

I've only heard it on my tablet and I didn't have my ear bugs with me but it's alright. I think I prefer the album version but I'm cool with it if it will help it on radio. Am I the only one who can't get it to play, even trying different browsers? Is it uploaded anywhere else? Thanks! Try here: www.newmusicserver.com/songplayer.php?song_id=3062

I actually kind of like the remix a little better. I can see why some think that the original is a little more emotional but it's not that drastic of a change. I hardly listen to her current cd so that may be why I don't hear much of a difference. However listening to this song again today I've been missing out. I really like this song. Original or remix.

Since no one else will give Kelly the credit she obviously deserves...
Can we take a minute to acknowledge Kelly's role in Adele's comeback? Not only was Adele so clearly inspired by Kelly's work with Greg Kurstin (given that Adele no doubt owns KC's entire discography) that she simply had to work with him for her new album, but then Adele even went one step further in her pure adoration of Kelly and paid homage to the vocal legend by writing her very own "Hello." It really is as clear as day.
The impact...

Piece By Piece the song (and album!) need to be re-released:
PBP - New single (either piano, radio edit, or album edit) with new lyrics : Piece by piece I fell far from the tree I will never leave them like you left me And they will never have to wonder their worth Because unlike you I'm going to put them first And you know, he'll never walk away, He'll never break their heart He'll take care of things, he'll love them And piece by piece, he'll restore my faith That a man can be kind and a father should be great
PBP album re-release new tracks/mixes plus piano and new version of PBP

Why would you re-release an album that struggled to hit 200k? That makes absolutely no sense, plus Kelly is on vocal rest so she can't go in and re-record the song. They could, in theory, find unreleased tracks to add on to a re-release but if they weren't good enough to make an album before then they won't add much to a re-release. By the time Kelly is ready to get back out there and can start singing, it will be well past time for a new album.

Why are they pushing pxp when they have second hand heart sitting there waiting to smash? :'(
Don't get me wrong; I LOVE piece by piece. It's my favorite song off the album hands down. But at this point, the era has been dead for so long that I don't see anything rejuvenating it at this point unfortunately.

Second Hand Heart is Ben Haenow's song, it just features Kelly. So they can push Piece By Piece and it would have absolutely no bearing on Second Hand Heart.
And let's all be real, they are going to give this an add's date and let it do what it does. Kelly can't promote it so what is there to do? At most they can try and get it featured on a commercial or television show. The fact that they even bothered with a radio edit is surprising, to be honest.
