Also, I wasn't suggesting Danny attacked her weight. I just saw yet another topic about weight in this thread (I didn't ready Danny's post ) so I thought I would drop my two cents in. Anyways, carry on! :)

I just hope that if she's going to stay at this weight for a while, then she and the label need to embrace it (i.e. stop photoshopping everything, shooting videos from the neck up, etc).

Someone who is heavier and exercises is far healthier than someone who is naturally skinny and doesn't exercise/eat well, physiologically speaking. I see her as someone who exercises for health rather than aesthetics. She knows she's never going to be stick thin, and doesn't want to, but knowing she still works out is great motivation for anyone else in her position - someone who's just had a baby and knows they are probably never going to have the body they had again. That someone CAN exercise for the health of it.
She's my favorite forever and ever.

Has anyone else seen the performance of Silent Night from Kelly's Christmas special all over their Facebook feed today? I noticed it this morning on a friends feed and I shared it since I share anything with Kelly, even if it is old news to me. Then my posting was shared at least 5 times and now I have seen it from 3 or 4 other random people who didn't share it from me but from someone else. The performance is randomly going viral!

It looks like it got ~120k in the past day, looking at the statistics on YouTube. That's a big chunk of it's 1.1 million total views. It's also up to #276 on iTunes, up 400 spots (I know it's not that many sales) from yesterday.

I think she looks great, why must everyone criticize her weight? sexism She looks healthy and happy to me, and that's all that should matte Not to steer this thread even more off topic, but sexism? lmao. A fat guy would be getting the same comments.

Well for one I diss pop stars for being fat, but i also diss my family members for being fat so i can get away with it.
The industry is all about being snatched and anyone who goes against that deserves respect for being stronger than most.
*kelly isnt even fat btw, never has been to me anyways. i do on occasion call her a fat whale but that is just internet trolling me. I like women and men with a little meat on the bones. Nobody wants a skinny heffa who looks like a mic stand. Kelly eats well as in healthy food and you can tell because her skin is always glowing. Unlike other bigger pop stars who have greasy face from taco bell.

She does appear to be slimmer lately. Not a big deal to me one way or another. I spent actual minutes crafting those sentences so there was no possible way people could misconstrue what I wrote as criticism of her weight. I didn't take into consideration that clarksonnumbing1 didn't have me on ignore and would actually quote me with the usual nonsense. Live and learn! But thank you for translating so beautifully. I clearly said your statement is likely incorrect, and never said anything about you criticizing her weight. A little off topic, but I believe I have stage 4 Cancer. I don't think I'll be here for album at this point, so you'll have to find someone else to pick on.

You have mentioned your cancer before, and I'll say what I said then: I'm sorry you're going through that, I have known many that have and it's always unfair. I don't pick on you--I don't even know you. I do take issue with your posts, which are consistently negative and rarely respectful and/or relevant to the conversation happening around them, and this post--the one in which you quoted one small part of my post out of context (which is an odd thing to do anyway if you believe I am so nasty to you)--is no different. I wish you well in your treatment and recovery, but I will not participate in your attempts to use your disease to make me feel bad for something I haven't done. In other news, Wrapped In Red didn't get a Pop Vocal Album nomination, which is not surprising, but unfortunate given that it's such a weak list of nominees.

Have many Christmas albums done well at the Grammys? I checked the big ones--Buble, Groban, Carey, McLachlan--and none of them appeared to have been nominated. Like I said, it was the slimmest of chances, but looking at the dire albums actually nominated, it seems like a shame, especially since she has a strong history in that category. Oh well, hopefully the new album will garner some more love from them.

There was literally a -100000% chance of WiR getting a Pop nomination.

Does she still have a shot at the Traditional Pop category?
Nevermind. I just saw elsewhere that it wasn't submitted in that category.
That seems stupid.

And next year she's probably going to lose to Adele on all her nominations. No Grammys for Kelly until 2017.

And next year she's probably going to lose to Adele on all her nominations. No Grammys for Kelly until 2017. Next year's are already setup to destroy this year's: Giorgio Moroder, Madge, Adele, Pink, Kelly, (maybe) Christina, Charli XCX has huge buzz, Gaga might even sneak in a new song by the deadline, and that's the tip of the iceberg. It's going to be a brawl for nominations alone. That Pop Vocal Album category this year is cringeworthy. Compare it to last year's noms: 2014: Bruno Mars - Unorthodox Jukebox Lana del Rey - Paradise Lorde - Pure Heroine Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience What a mess this year was. EDIT: She was an underdog with Stronger, too, and beat out fun. (whose album was also an AOTY nominee) for Pop Vocal Album, so she can't be counted out. More than ever, she just needs to come out swinging with this album.

I wouldn't say Charli Xcx has huge buzz lol In mainstream music press, she does. Rolling Stone already named Sucker one of the Top 10 Albums of 2014, she already has a solo #1 and feature on a #1 under her belt, and "New Artists" are coming off a big year. RS may be a joke most of the time, but the buzz is there.

I can't get over how weak the Grammy nominations are this year. Next year will be stacked but Kelly may put out one hell of an album. She doesn't need to win any more anyway, it would just be icing on the cake at this point. The older she gets the less likely it will be for her to win anything in Pop, anyway.
I find it so funny all the people who mention Madonna. When was the last time she was relevant? When did she last have a decent single that fared well on the charts outside of Dance? Unless she gets lucky, she is no competition to anyone who is currently relevant which Kelly is.

Great to see Kelly back on the Billboard 200 with Wrapped In Red and hope that she'll be able to pass 1 million with the album this Christmas! Does she have any performances coming up? Fingers crossed she dominates the AC chart once again this year. Also, "Underneath The Tree" is #466 & #1034 on UK iTunes with the album at #229. Hopefully "Underneath The Tree" will be able to re-enter the top 200 this year and same for the album. :) Is Kelly planning to promote the album at all in the UK?

^ That CRYSTAL complexion in her voice is back. It's the first time I've heard it, post-pregnancy. I mean, I love me a strained, pained, uber-soulful-voiced Kelly, too, but I also love when she does/is able to bust out the sort of studio version but can't-believe-it-sounds-like-the-studio-but-still-better quality. Really loved this - and that surprise octave up in the middle of song. Me likey.
The beginning was a bit odd, but it looks like a bizarre setting. Was this an isolated recording? The applause at the end sounded like a room of 20.

The performance as a whole was a bit... odd. She sounded fantastic, though. Love that arrangement with the drums during the bridge!

She sounds great, and is clearly being smart about her voice. It was fun to hear AMLT done in its original form (albeit sped up--she couldn't finish that song fast enough lol), I don't remember the last time she sang it "traditionally."

AMLT! That was a pleasant surprise. When was the last time we heard her perform it with the original arrangement?
