I never thought they'd actually go and record/release it.
Now let's just get the tour version of Tightrope while you're in there sis.

Just crossed 40 MILLION VIEWS on Facebook and a million views on YouTube. And I just noticed this: Great to hear the song is doing well on streaming. Does anyone know what its stats are on Spotify? EDIT: I know it's already been said that the FB views won't count towards the BB100, but what about the YouTube views? Even if it's a live performance of the song?

Ashley Arrison posted an Instagram of herself, River, Paul McCartney, etc from today (see Kelly's tweets for story). Greg Kurstin is also in the pics which makes me believe he had a hand in producing the new version (not just Jason). http://instagram.com/p/BCRL5tEmY2m

Wasn't there a post years back about someone's performance making grown men cry and making all sorts of ridiculous things happen? Kelly made that happen last night. :'( Wrong sis. I know, I already admitted how I know nothing anymore. :( I'll wait for her tear-filled A Moment Like This performance to chart higher than this year's winner single on iTunes to have my moment. Reminds me of Paula Abdul on part one of the season one finale: "Kelly, you have a voice that can make grown men cry and young boys wish that they were grown men." So glad this song is getting the attention this deserves. Can't wait to hear the recorded version.

Making excuses saying that it was just a curious question when you literally said "it's actually pretty annoying" seems pretty annoying to me. Nobody's "attacking" you for not knowing what was going on with the song or not watching American Idol here so please get a grip. I'll explain it to you again. I have short versions of my explanation in my other comment. I didn't watch American Idol. I didnt watch last night. I reconized that the comment I made was a bad one even though I didn't watch American Idol. I explained how it can be seen as horrendous& ignorant. I said that I'm sorry for that comment. Don't say that I'm making up excuses while it's literally on my explanations This shouldn't be such a big thing now that there's actually something to talk about in here. The issue with what you said was purely because if you had read even ONE post above yours, you would have seen what was going on and your ignorant post would never needed to have existed in the first place. A message board is a community and a community is a continuous series of discussions on various subjects. It's your job to read what OTHERS say and not just to spew out stuff of your own in hopes it catches someone's attention. It's a two way street. Use both ways. Read before you post and avoid this from happening again. Now can you please move back to discussing the song because everyone else already has.

I literally explained that "Yes I didn't watch American Idol". It's also unfortunate that I have to keep saying to not be ignorant when I explained several times what& how I did wrong. Don't say I'm the wrong one when it comes to that. Look at my explanation on how I messed up(<---Don't intentionally skip over). I intentionally F'd up. I apologized. Don't make me a bad guy

This is all amazing for kelly . I'm hoping to myself that Ellen falls in love with this and goes "I don't care how Impossible it is , I want kelly to perform this on my shoe " . Ellen tends to get what she wants and I'd love for this to get continued promotion

I've been a Kelly fan for a long time, and have to say that my interest in her has diminished over the years. I loved her through the My December era, even past that, but the most recent one was the one I was the least interested in her so far. I just saw the AI performance and loved it. No surprise there, she sounds amazing, and manages to be endearing and sweet, even when emotional and super pregnant.
So, I decided to play the PBP album -- and am reminded of why I dropped it so quickly. There's something missing for that record, IMO. I loved Invincible, but the rest of the album practically blurs together. It's bizarre.
I love Kelly, and I hope she is able to leverage this moment and attention into continued success. I just hope it involves stronger material - that's what I ultimately think she has been lacking as of late.

Take it somewhere else!! This is one of the best days we have had as Kelly fans in quite some time. You are ruining it with your petty bitching.
I can't wait to hear the newly recorded piano version. I wonder if they add any touches to it to give it a little something, some violins or something in there perhaps? I know tons of people who are not huge fans and they all said they wished there was a plain piano version available. This should do very well.
Anyone think they could get Idol to push this next week? That would be a great way to release it. Ryan could talk about the moment Kelly created and then mention they have released a special version of the single to commemorate the moment. Would be the best way to keep the momentum going.

It's a shame its taking this long just to have people flat out ignore it like it's not a thing. I would copy paste my apology, but it seems to not be working right now

The fact that PBP (the album) is relatively unknown to the public makes this almost like an entirely new era. I would love for the label to re-release the album with PBP (acoustic), and maybe Tightrope (acoustic), and Good Goes The Bye (acoustic).
Then release In The Blue over the summer... Lol a guy can dream can't he.

If they planned to go into the studio post-Idol, I'm actually completely okay with them holding off til this week. Force the public to buy the song twice. Keep the momentum going! Anyone think they could get Idol to push this next week? That would be a great way to release it. Ryan could talk about the moment Kelly created and then mention they have released a special version of the single to commemorate the moment. Would be the best way to keep the momentum going. I honestly don't see why not. After the way the judges reacted, I can see them to speak about the performance last week and then shamelessly letting the audience know that the stripped down version is now available. On another note, I need to relisten to the live version of Tightrope. Honestly, I can't remember the difference between the two but then again I am in love with the original recording.

^^ I still can't get over that my favourite KC studio album, which has been sales flop with a mediocre first single, flop second single, and super-flop third single, may produce one full year after its release: a Top 10 HOT 100 single, possible #1 Digital Single, and Top 5 album, even Top 5 music video all from a song which she wrote, a song more than six feet under. When commercial success has been able to parallel commercial success, such as with Adele, my faith in the public is at least temporarily restored, as it is now. Question: When was the last time that an non-contestant artist has performed a song on 'Idol', only to shoot #1 within hours ? I recall seeing this in some of the earlier seasons, but am not sure as of late. I would imagine that since KC is recording a stripped down version of 'Piece', it will have its own iTunes banner, and as someone mentioned, would be even greater it Idol capitalized on it next week. The lyrics from 'Second Wind' could not be more appropriate: "Yeah maybe I've been down, down, down, down But I always come back around, 'round, 'round, 'round You can't forget about me While you weren't lookin' I was gettin' even higher Say what you want about me Your words are gasoline on my fire You can hate me, underestimate me Do what you do cause what you do don't phase me Just when you think I'm at the end Any second I'ma catch my second wind"

It's interesting that of all the songs on the album, this is the one to gain traction and one of only two (?) that she had a hand in co-writing. Can we have My December 2.0 for the 2017 ages?

I'm not normally a Kelly fan, but she blew me away with her performance.
It's so rare to have genuinely great moments with artists nowadays, and it's refreshing to see someone else (aside from the big 3), receive some love.
Performances like this make me long for the days of incredible showstopping performances that can wow everyone. Props, Kelly.

I've already said I'm a huge fan of that song on the album. I'm also a big fan of Kelly's body of work - but I wasn't quite prepared for that performance. That's a moment that can't be manufactured. I read a lot of articles and comments all day... and then I finally just watched the episode.
Priceless moment. Massive.

1. I just realized I nabbed PBP (Google Deluxe) for free a few weeks ago - what a surprise that it also has radio mix. Honestly, I just added it because it was free and it was her, but had no intention of ever playing it unless songs came up on random. 2. KC proved yet again why SHE is the real reason AI became massive and credible (for a time) in finding real talent. Even though I never seen an entire episode of AI, I always noted when se returned whenever they asked. I loved the fact that Kelly appreciated the break she received from AI and never tried to distance herself from it. Again, Kelly has that certain 'it' thing that connects with people - it's far beyond her voice. 3. And I never cry and I just did after watching the video 15 minutes ago. 4. Yes to the stripped down version being available. 5. I've said this before - KC's biggest challenge has been material that does not match her talent - and the crux of that lies in the backing tracks (HS is a perfect example - cringeworthy lyrics, Disney-radio track, still turns into a 'hit' because her vocals elevate it into something decent.) 6. I'm so happy for Kelly!

The big lesson here tbh is that when you're pushing a song that she believes to her core, get out of her way and let her sing it. It's honestly Because of You all over again. Stop doubting if she can sell a TRUE ballad. And let me just be the first to eat my own words: "GP won't get it. Too personal." They get it.
When she's got a killer pop anthem, do the pop promo thing. When it's her heart falling out on stage, let her GO do it!
Back under Cool New Music on HAC. The push is real (for now).
Never forget: Talent Always Wins.

Still quite comfortably sitting at #1 on iTunes while expanding her lead over every other song in the top 10.
