So am I correct in assuming that theoretically Kelly could have have her baby any day now? If I recall, she's due mid-April, correct?

If I am not mistaken, Kelly said she's giving birth by c-section so I believe those are actually scheduled unless she goes into labor before the scheduled date. I can't recall what interview it was where she mentioned not giving birth the normal way. I think it was the same one where she mentioned both her and Brandon are getting fixed after this one.

spun Wrapped In Red Vinyl (Wrapped In Red Song Favorite) has a good sound as does the full album.

When Piece By Piece was released as a promo single I said it wouldn't have success with that instrumental and that they'd need to strip it down. We all know Jason read it. To the people here who disagreed - HA! To RCA - gimme money!

I feel like War Paint and Piece by Piece should have replaced Heartbeat Song and Invincible as the first two singles. Those two never should have been released.

How about this order? 1. War Paint 2. Let Your Tears Fall 3. Piece By Piece (Acoustic) It looks much better to me. Invincible is not a good choice as a single track on pre summer season.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to wrap yourself around the fact that your favorite artist may not be the "it" artist anymore. I think I'm older than most here and I've been following Matchbox Twenty/Rob Thomas for years. I've seen the same arc to their touring and radio careers as you all are just starting to glimpse with Kelly. It's an adjustment for the hardcore fans and I would imagine quite frankly for the artist. Kelly says that she doesn't what all that goes along with being a huge pop star but at the same time she stated somewhere that she was the one that was pushing for the album release so she could get out there and work. I think what she'll start finding out that as an artist that has had MAJOR radio support throughout her career when that starts drying up you begin to see where you'll start falling in the touring arena without that radio support. Can you tour arenas without that support or can you tour amphitheaters and maybe become an "it" summer outing, or can you only support a theater tour and what size of those? It'll be really interesting to sit back and see what happens over the next few years. I certainly don't think Kelly's career is over and she may still get a sizeable hit from this album but if she doesn't I think you'll start to see her do other things as she has already suggested. Anyway, Matchbox's North era - First single hit #7 on HotAC (pretty nice video). Song wasn't released to AC (which I don't know why) or Pop. Second single (another nice video) - song didn't do much but core stations on their format played it. Third single - no push, no video (again some core stations played it). With that kind of limited radio play they had a nice theater run during the winter and then co-headlined with GGDs (but MB20 was the closer because they do have a stronger touring base) during the summer at amphitheaters. This tour did very, very well for both bands. So get ready.....this is what may happen to Kelly on down the road and I think as long as she can tour and make albums she'll be fine. She'll probably have 2-3 kids by then, anyway. :) Of course there's also the career path of Pink. Her last album did fantastically well and she's become a touring juggernaught (especially outside the US). MB20 does really well in Australia but they never caught on in Europe (mainly tour clubs there when they feel like it). Pink and Kelly are most definitely in the same age area (Rob Thomas is older at 43) but he also started seeing the slow down in his early 30s, too. PS - When an artist gets older, having great songs may no longer garner radio interest. Great songs help but on pop there's much more to it and I agree with the poster that said youth is a lot of it. I couldn't agree more. interesting read

To the people here who disagreed - HA! To RCA - gimme money! Except the album version of Piece By Piece dominated quite nicely after the release of the Idol Version anyway... = after they 'heard' the lyrics! Which was my point. I remember my best friend being like 'omg the title track is awesome!' after its promo single release and when I said how sad (yet hopeful in the end) the lyrics were, he was surprised. Days later he called me and said he nearly started crying when he focused on the words and not the sound. I loved that and that might be a general 'problem' for Kelly. The general public expects a smash hit or an obvious (sad-sounding)/power ballad from her. PS - When an artist gets older, having great songs may no longer garner radio interest. Great songs help but on pop there's much more to it and I agree with the poster that said youth is a lot of it. I couldn't agree more. interesting read Pop is so tricky. It's a game you end up losing if you stop playing along. I think Kelly's versatility is also a factor.. a curse and a blessing. I think she's too versatile for the general public, cuz they can't categorize her. Like seriously.. artists usually stick to one sound for the whole album. I honestly wish there were more Kelly-like artists when it comes to voice-skills and diversity. I will be interesting to see how she will continue her career genre-wise.

I honestly wish there were more Kelly-like artists when it comes to voice-skills and diversity. I will be interesting to see how she will continue her career genre-wise. I always thought it was kind of odd how, on Pulse, non-Kelly fans would sometimes accuse her songs of all sounding the same, because that belief is in such contrast to this - I have a friend who more or less said what you did one day when I mentioned being a Kelly fan. She said that she "can't keep up with Kelly...she's crazy talented, she's just always doing something different. I don't really know what to expect next from her." It wasn't said as an insult at all, more so just in awe at how much she is able to do and pull it off; but I agree that there is something to the blessing and curse theory. Kelly's biggest hits do tend to be a certain type of song, but that's more than likely because that's the one bit of 'consistency' the general public can associate her with. It is certainly not for lack of variety in her discography as a whole. But I'd also say that a) she might not have that problem so much if she still "played the game" - that is, if she put more effort into trying to be a mainstay on pop there'd be no concern about whether or not the general public could keep up with the vocal chameleon; and b) all of her albums are more consistent than Kelly gives them credit for being. AIEW, Stronger, and PBP all could have benefited greatly simply by her laying that "I just love all sorts of different sounds" line down to rest and saying "this album was built around X theme, it tells this kind of story," then picking a track and single order that built upon that theme.

1) Piece By Piece 2) Heartbeat Song/Good Goes the Bye (to country) 3) Take You High 4) In The Blue
Honestly, this album isn't very "radio friendly" bar the few that I listed. And the ablum as a whole is choppy and just not cohesive like her other albums have been, Stronger being the best example IMO.
Wonder what direction she'll go next album? Stronger proved she can still have her anthems, but PBP (single) definitely showed that she could pull an Adele and go in that direction too. I'm excited either way.

Honestly, PBP album just isn't very radio friendly.
HBS sounded like something Kelly would release as a single, but it wasn't that great or exciting, so pop radio in the US didn't give it much of a chance. But since it was the first new song from Kelly in a while, it did OK on HAC and internationally. Still, the public wasn't excited by it.
"Invincible" was a huge mistake. Yeah, the song was written by Sia, but that doesn't mean it's a good one. Or, a radio hit.
After these two "misses", radio stopped caring for Kelly's music and the original release of PBP didn't get much attention. The acoustic performance on Idol made people buy the song, but all that wasn't enough for radio to really jump on board. Radio isn't really into acoustic versions of songs. The album version and the radio edit didn't do it for them, so it's no surprise the acoustic version didn't make a difference.
Personally, my favorite song on the album is "Good Goes the Bye", but I doubt it would do anything on the radio either.
It's true that as an artist gets older pop radio becomes tougher to conquer, but it's not like turning 30 signals the end. I just think Kelly really dropped the ball with this last album. Perhaps she just didn't care after starting a family and she just wanted to tour, but that was a mistake, IMO.

It previously peaked at 31 on hot ac and now it's top 15 on the format and ac. It even managed to break the top 50 on pop which never happened during the first go round

Damn, I still listen to and really like "Heartbeat Song." It's a lite, accessible, cute little bop with excellent vocals. The bridge -on still gives me chills.
