I hope Kelly continues to do and say whatever she pleases and is never handled in any way. That is the absolute last thing I want from her. He isn't suggesting she become 'handled'. Rather, that she thinks over more considered, articulate stances on hugely important cultural issues if she is going to be doing things in the public eye.

Last night I dreamed we had news of a new album leak via some magazine article. The music was literally described as Country/R&B/Metal, while Kelly was posing in a gorgeous floral print empire floor length gown, with her MLWSWY hair.
I'm officially crazy.

Oh hunny.. at least you don't dream of her always running away or even running into a jet-plane so she wouldn't have to sign you an autograph. However, I do sometimes dream into the future. I dreamt new songs would leak and WOTN+BTS+OMY happened. If I dream about new material I will keep y'all updatet :'D

Ughhh okay now I need all the deets. I'm thrilled for her--RCA has been great these past few years but I was always doubtful that she'd get everything she wanted using the same label. I like the idea of her starting completely fresh, all on her own terms. Can't wait to hear more about it. And nice that she said there will be more than one announcement--so maybe the new label + what the next record will be like?
ETA: ..."Lost"? :|
ETA 2: Yay @ no broadway or live dvd. Broadway can come later, and PBP is the last tour I'd want on DVD.
ETA 3: Oh yeah, best cover yet.

Aside from the obvious Atlantic connection I also wonder if the songs themselves might be a hint as to the sound she is going for with the next album. I certainly hope so!
And Sean Paul is a legacy act??? WTH, I'm not that damn old. That is seemingly unrelated, but given that Sean isn't exactly old school, it also lends a bit of credence to the possibility that Kelly will be added to Atlantic's legacy roster. With that said, we still have one (or two?) more song(s) to go so she might easily sneak in a Bruno song or something and throw both of the above theories off.
I don't really feel like it's my place to defend or critique her speaking on Orlando, so I'll defer on that specific point, but on her rambling in general, it just surprises me a little that she didn't get a speech or PR coach back in the day to help her with public speaking events. It makes perfect sense now that she wouldn't because this is Kelly we're talking about; but it's a little shocking that one was not foisted upon her by the label or her management early in her career. It's the one thing I would not criticize any label for making an artist do, really.
That's not to say I mind her rambling - I love that she is so off the cuff - but when she mentions umpteen times that she's so nervous I start to get secondhand anxiety watching her try to power through it.

Damn. Y'all are some harsh critics. I keep reading about how "off" (or whatever you want to call it) she sounded during the PXP tour but, as my first time seeing Kelly and a long-term fan, it was vocally one of the best concerts I have ever attended. If that's Kelly sounding off, I can't even begin to imagine what she sounds like on a good day.
In other news, I hope she gets everything she wants out of the new record deal, if that's what this announcement will be. She has certainly earned it, at this point.

What's the difference between Kelly being (potentially) added as a legacy artist rather than just a regular one? Is there more to it beyond the title?

Kelly wouldn't be added to the legacy roster, as her legacy is literally at RCA/Sony. She would be added to the roster of active artists - they don't sign "new" legacy acts. Not in the way its described on the Atlantic site's roster page.

Not in the way its described on the Atlantic site's roster page. I'm really interested to see/hear what swayed her and what they have planned. Missy Elliot looks like the artist with the most in common with Kelly right now career-wise, an established artist in sort of a transition phase. She'd be a major addition to their roster, that's for sure.

Not in the way its described on the Atlantic site's roster page. Yeah, I was looking at Sean's discography page trying to make sense of his legacy designation - his career didn't even begin until this century - and he's been signed with Atlantic for all but his debut album (which flopped, so his entire legacy really is on Atlantic). That's too bad, as I think the 'legacy' definition tends to come with a different set of expectations/less pressure that would suit Kelly better than being put on the active roster. But the description on the roster page doesn't really indicate one way or the other whether they would add a new person to the legacy roster, IMO; it just says "Discover the talented and diverse roster of artists and labels including Big Beat Records, Canvasback, Elektra Records, Fueled By Ramen, Maybach Music Group, and Roadrunner Records that call Atlantic Records home." I assume we're referring to the same description, I don't see another one but I could be missing it. So there's nothing stopping them from giving Kelly that treatment, she'd just be the first 'outside' recruit they ever signed. There is the hitch that Atlantic can't cash in on Kelly's back catalog without a) licensing it or b)buying it outright from Sony (and I definitely don't see them doing the latter). So they may put her on the active roster and then give her de facto legacy treatment...we'll just have to see. What's the difference between Kelly being (potentially) added as a legacy artist rather than just a regular one? Is there more to it beyond the title? I'm honestly not sure if there is an 'official' difference between being considered active vs. being considered legacy. It is more of a title thing, I would guess, but I think with that title comes a different set of expectations; a legacy act is less likely to need to worry about being dropped; and the way the label approaches you from a marketing perspective will probably be different.

That performance is everything I need Kelly to put on her new record. The genre is what I mean.

She also replied to a fan on facebook who asked if she is going to do carpool karaoke and she said yes.

These Arms of Mine: Road House Soundtrack I Want To Know What Love Is: Rock of Ages Soundtrack Something He Can Feel: Sparkle Soundtrack
Maybe Kelly is (or has signed) with Atlantic Records, but I still think this is also her way of announcing the movie soundtrack song she did for the Secret Scripture.
EDIT: Okay, so it is not a soundtrack according to Jason.

Gnarls Barkley on Atlantic. No live album per sé but he does have a iTunes Live EP.
My favorite of the covers so far.

Well the legacy theory is out! But yippee, Atlantic.
Crazy was used in Birdman and Kick-Ass, but didn't appear on the official soundtrack for either.

#blessed that the soundtrack thing is out of the running. Full speed ahead to a new label announcement. And yep, best she's sounded yet. I actually think she's been holding back power wise from a sounds logistics thing...it looks like they're using pretty basic equipment, no real mic, etc. She probably blows that shit out in a heartbeat; they've also played around with where she's been standing, probably figuring out what sounds best with that equipment and what would allow her to sing a little louder.

Not Kelly covering one of my favorite songs of the past 10 years. My day has been made. Damn that voice is fire.
