Get that iTunes visualizer video smash! I feel bad that Adele/Hello will only have held the view/download record for such a short space of time, because this is quite clearly going whistle right past those numbers, and dethrone her all too fresh accomplishments. I also think it was a bit bitchy of Kelly to steal Adele's thunder on her release week...25 is out on Friday and what with this, nobody is going to bat an eyelid at anything Ms. Adkins has to offer. :/

I refused to listen to the remix version until now...I think I'll keep refusing.
Also, holy montage, Kelly. Didn't see that one coming.

I don't support this whole every middle aged woman can find themselves in a Kelly Clarkson song schtick they've been pushing with the last two videos. I think it's a misguided strategy. Kelly Clarkson is a vocal legend with emotionally impactful music, regardless of age or gender, and her visuals need to own and represent that.
The last four seconds of the video is on point...the rest? Ugh.

Lmao I won't even watch. Last year she trolled us with that absurdly unnecessary Wrapped in Red video, and now this. I'll not tarnish the visuals I've already crafted for this song and pass on the video.

Unfortunate video, terrible remix. Sigh.
At least the song is officially part of her singles discography, where it is toward the very top of an impressive heap.

I loved the adorable end of the video. So cute.
Here is a good quality video of yesterday's interview with Gayle...

oh lord... with that budget they could've had Kelly have flashbacks and show parts of the Because Of You video of her young self with Kelly singing the lyrics to PBP every now and then like she does in this "masterpiece". For the bridge we see Kelly's father take his suitcase from her and drive away and little Kelly breathe heavily (BOY scene) and when the last piiieeeccceee hits (which they absolutely destroyed.. the only thing I HATE about the remix) lil sad Kelly shatters into pieces and for the last chorus, the video becomes colourful, Brandon comes in, picks up the pieces and puts them "into" present Kelly. And then River comes and yeah. I JUST MADE THIS UP.

"Kelly Clarkson has always been a little bit of an anomaly, though: She’s an analog girl in a digital world, a pop colossus whose songs don’t conform to anything else on pop radio, an instantly recognizable star who prefers, most of the time, not to be seen. When she does appear in public, she’s a pro—funny and charming and toweringly glamorous. But unlike her peers (if you can call them that) she rejects almost all the perks and trappings of fame; her music is, for the most part, the only part of her for sale, and even the songs themselves feel secondary to how she sings them. Her voice is a national monument, a ninth wonder; whatever she chooses to wrap it around is transformed and taken over. If that’s not the definition of a once-in-a-generation talent, what is?"
Okay, so this is actually the conclusion of Entertainment Weekly's review of Adele's new album, and I just replaced "Adele" with "Kelly," because this could easily be about Kelly Clarkson and written at basically any point in the last 7-8 years (except for the pop radio part--what they've released have singles have been fairly trend-chasing, but the often superior album tracks are not). But it's not, and I will be forever frustrated by that, because it highlights Kelly and co.'s biggest weakness: branding.

Kelly really could be as big as, if not bigger, than Adele if she wanted to be right now. I would even say I prefer Kelly's voice to Adele's, and most of Kelly's songs are more "fun" to sing along to than Adele's power notes. I like to think of Kelly as the voice of Adele with the music of P!nk.

I'm not comparing their talent/vocals/music. They share very similar perspectives and priorities when it comes to fame and stardom. But Adele is the biggest recording artist on the planet, completely on--even in spite of--her own terms, and is not only respected for this chosen path, but celebrated as if she is alone in this non-quest; Kelly is not any of those things.

Adele might be really good but I feel like it's been an alignment of the stars for her as well.
If Adele released 21 back in 2004 I'm quite positive Breakaway would come out on top.

Ugh i hate the alignmemt of the stars comment. Yes we never know how an album would do, but they should try their hardest to make it happen (looking their best, work with hitmakers, record some commercial friendly singles, hardcore promos etc..) An artist cant just sit there and do what they want and hope for stars to align lol. Thats not going to work.

What a terrible video! I always wonder how do these A-list singers get to do such horrible, cheap and amateur videos. Plus, the song's production is really awful. Kelly's career has been so badly managed that I'm starting to think it's actually her own fault and that she's the one with poor taste (from song choices, to videos, to clothes...) Hopefully she'll get her shit together for the next album, I still think she can deliver once again.

It's not about sitting and waiting it's working your ass off and doing what you think is best and hoping it strikes a chord no one else saw possible. If you just use the successful people and do what is "right" every time music will turn to s**t. See the majority of music from 2003-2012. The best music comes from the risk takers and rule breakers that did their homework first.

Inversely if Kelly released Hello it would be a flop I don't think so, but herein lies the problem. Her team refuses to brand her in that way, which is exactly how I think she would be best received. She would sing the shit out of Hello. It's exactly the kind of single they NEED to get out of the rut they are in. Vocally stunning and emotionally impactful.
