She kind of sounded like Thankful-elly, or really Idol-elly. But only for a second.

I don't see her doing the half time show anytime soon. They tend to pick people who can put on a huge production, and Kelly doesn't really do that (she lets her voice be center stage of her shows). I would love to see her do the half time show, but I don't see it happening before people like Katy Perry and Taylor Swift, who tend to put on much bigger productions.
Then again, she rocked the national anthem. Maybe since they know she really has the vocal chops to pull something like that off in front of that large of an audience she could get an earlier chance.

I think if she had another truly massive era--it'd have to be Breakaway-level--she could be a contender given their seeming preference for pop-oriented, crossover appeal, safer acts that are still good live performers. But while I still think she has the potential for great mainstream success, I'm not sure she'll get to that level again to warrant the Superbowl halftime stage.

I think a more realistic hope I have for her is to open an awards show. She's yet to be an opener, and I think that would be so cool.

LOL that really sounded nothing like Kelly but I think she is extremely hit or miss. Her talent is just insane. Her impressions of Celine, Andrews, Chenoweth and some of the others is just great but those people have such very distinct voices. I think her impressions of Kelly, Adele and Demi are just...not at all good. I would literally never have been able to guess who she was doing without the man calling it out.

Does anyone have a list of Kelly's career accomplishments or highlights? I'd love to take a walk down memory lane and be in awe of her amazingness.

The halftime show is something I thought about as well! Dat girl CAN dance! Even if not professional - she can move to music - not looking-like-a-fool-dancing - she's really feeling the beat. She had a choreography on American Idol (Miss Independent) and in the movie that shall not be named. During the Stronger tour she also moved her hips like crazy! Once (?) she did the Stronger dance too! So it's just a question of her willingness - not her ability. On the other hand - would she even be asked when it's known that she doesn't really dance ? They could arrange people around her to dance - like @ AMA 2012 / the one MKIA performance in Australia.. My personal favourite highlight of her career is the Women's World Award honorary for World Entertainment! Cuz, well, I got to see her !!! NEWS: "Breakaway" will be sung on this week's episode of Glee on February 25th. It will be available to buy as a single on March 4th! a.tumblr.com/tumblr_n1gnnho9gE1rojy6eo1.mp3#_=_

But while I still think she has the potential for great mainstream success, I'm not sure she'll get to that level again to warrant the Superbowl halftime stage. Not sure that's needed. Actually very, very few Super Bowl performers have been coming off really big eras. NFL usually goes more for previously established, familiar names. Taylor Swift will definitely do it some day, but probably when she's 3 or 4 years older, less associated with teen girldom. That wasn't exactly my point. I think she needs another big era to elevate her name to the level of stature it takes to be a halftime performer, not because artists in general need to be coming off a big era to perform at the Superbowl.

I LOVE Go On. That's the exact kind of soulful sound I wanted from her for a country album.

"Go On" is catchy enough and seems to fit in with the "Tie It Up"/"Ain't Gonna Like This" sound we've heard from her, but it's pretty generic. Kinda meh on it.

I look beyond the demo. The difference would probably be as big as the one between the demo and the album version of The Sun Will Rise. I like sassy Countrelly a là Tie It Up - Go On would totally fit her.
Btw, does anyone here have the songwriter's demo of "Dark Side" - I loved it, but it was deleted from Soundcloud.

Definitely am not feeling "Go On." Primarily I just think it sounds like anyone could sing it and do it justice, but also... it's just territory that she has already covered. And what interested me about the genre shift was that it seemed like it would allow her to explore different sides of her artistic personality. This sounds like "Walk Away" but countrified, ripped of any sort of soul or edginess, and adorned with a few banjos.

I sure hope so! Has P!nk done it yet? She's another one I could see doing it. Carrie Underwood perhaps.

I actually think Pink doing it is very likely, which may be another obstacle to Kelly doing it (which isn't something I've believed to be all that likely anyway). They have very similar catalogs at this point, so if Pink does it next year or the year after, they'd want a buffer of a few years before they have someone with such a similar musical offering go, I'd expect. And at that point it just seems like it'd be too late in her career.

Go On is shit, borderline annoying actually. If she's going to keep her country music and pop music separate entities, then fine, it'd be suitable for her country album/EP/whatever. I'm not particularly interested in how that turns out. However, if the dual album thing is scrapped and she's just putting out one album, no thanks. That wouldn't even be worthy of iTunes bonus track status.

And at that point it just seems like it'd be too late in her career. I've also never thought it was likely. For as much as Taylor is associated with teenage girls and breakup songs, I feel Kelly is just as equally equated with her girl-power breakup anthems. Her biggest hits are perfect for the SB halftime show but her image doesn't quite match, unlike P!nk who seems to have a more unisex appeal (i.e. the men in the audience won't be afraid to get caught nodding their heads), and she doesn't have the major career-hype machine to overcome that like Bey and Madonna did.

In my perfect little dreams, Kelly and Pink would co-headline the Superbowl and release a massive duet along with it. Now that would be perfect...

I think Taylor and Carrie are the most likely to headline next year. It's been a while since they had a country act perform, and both (although less so Carrie) of them have broad appeal beyond country audiences
