Ya know, I'm kind of surprised she/her team hasn't released some sort of statement at this point. It's been a few weeks now since the divorce came out. Yeah, this makes me think it's as bad as it seems. You can see it in her eyes, and my heart breaks for her. You can guess that when such an open book like Kelly stays silent on the matter that shit went down, especially because of how seemingly quick it was. Hopefully the success of her show and EMMY win helped to soften the blow a little bit, but love gone wrong is one of the worst feelings in the world!

Queen of Whitney covers. "I Have Nothing" needs to happen when she's feeling like her voice is particularly strong cause fuck that song is a beast. But yeah, that was great, note-perfect, etc., much like her "Run To You" cover.
And I'm not really interested in the speculation of her divorce or when she decides to speak publicly, but yeah, it's hard to ignore the hurt in her eyes sometimes, particularly when she's singing. I've watched that recent "Because Of You" performance so many times after the news, and there are so many moments she almost loses it. Heartbreaking.
Her lack of statement and her carrying on with the show, however, make me feel like she's doing well, or as well as could be expected. Hopefully she's dealing with and channeling her emotions in healthy ways, and grossly/selfishly I hope one of those is songwriting.

Is it typical for celebs to release statements when they divorce? I've never really paid attention to that kind of stuff when the news breaks.

Maybe she's being quiet about it because they're trying to work it out? I mean she did specifically thank him when she won her Emmy.

It's pretty typical and they usually follow a certain pr template... after much consideration we've decided to end our relationship. we still remain friends and our kids will be put first. please respect our privacy at this time. yada yada yada.
Covers next week:
The Climb - Miley Linger - The Cranberries Fly Like A Bird - Mariah
Those might be it for the summer, they have repeats scheduled through the following week.

EXCUSE ME "FLY LIKE A BIRD" HOLD THE F***ING PHONE!!!
Y'all, please prepare yourselves. The lyrics of this song could not be more fitting for a closer to this season (if it is in fact the last episode until the fall) and her life right now.
If you do not know the original... THE ENDING.

Can Kelly please just go ahead and throw in the whistle note at the end. Haven’t we waited long enough for her to bust one out again? And she isn’t doing this live so she can give it a few takes if she needs to! Please! Lol
And if I find out the song is actually Fly Like a Bird by Nelly Furtado then there will be hell to pay.
Part of me thinks the silence on the divorce is partly because it simply hasn’t been a story. It was reported and then immediately moved on from. No surprise with everything going on in the world. Maybe they prefer to keep it private and have been fortunate enough to be able to. Also, it leaves me hope that it is amicable. At least as amicable as a divorce can be. Kelly isn’t good at holding back when someone does her dirty and I haven’t seen hints of that. If anything, she just seems sad that it didn’t work out and maybe that’s all this is. They just weren’t meant to be together forever. Not with their lifestyles.

Brandon has been a very good manager IMO. I disagree. He was great at making her money and building a relationship with NBC. Her writing took a huge backseat since he came around (even though it was the strongest its ever been Tightrope/In the Blue) and hasn't invested in sustaining her past success. Its insane that they can't get her Breakaway vinyl to sell out at UO. He was great for her pocket book but artistically she was never more subdued.

She's more relevant now than she has been in the last decade. Her pivot into TV was a stroke of genius, as evident by the seemingly lack of interest by the GP in PxP and MOL. I don't think it is the manager's job to necessarily manage her creative outlet so I don't see the connection between what makes a great manager and her writing contributions. If she really wanted to write on the albums, I am almost sure Atlantic would've given her the go. At least with her pivot into TV, now she has her own platform to promote her own music and create a legacy outside of being the first American Idol and continue to produce music and work with certain producers BECAUSE she is relevant. Her last 2-3 year of being a workhorse and cementing herself as a TV personality will do far more in this part of her career than any artistic freedom could IMO. If they can only find a way to connect her to the streaming generations, then maybe they would care about snatching that legendary album from UO. :'( Having said that, the silver lining in this pandemic is that hopefully we get some good songs outta this.

Shes a legend at this point and will be known as such in the history books no matter what she does now. Idk why appeasing the masses is suddenly so important to her and her fans. Her writing use to be a monumental part of her and a good manager (imo) would of encouraged that more instead of commercializing someone who previously ran from that lifestyle. good manger = encourage artistic growth as opposed to pleasing a lot of people

its sad her team should really post something about Breakaway releasing on Vinyl on UO, its still not selling out with just only 2000 copies is insane, thats goes the hope with Thankful, My December, maybe even All I Ever Wanted to ever release in Vinyl. i think Brandon isn't creatively create scenario of how to promo her music to mainstream audiences, there are so many different social media, you really need to hustle on these preforms nowadays, and she already hate using Instagram, and there is tiktok(an apps i wont use) too, if she is not comfortable to use those apps, he really should set up a team just for her to hustle to make a HIT, since she obviously want one(complaint Iheart radio not playing her songs). You can't stay doing things in old fashion way, you needed to keep up with the trend.
not saying he is a bad manger, he is a good one. TBH i wish he have ask Warner music to put up some 7" or 10" vinyl for Blake Shelton's Nobody But You (with Gwen), original and acoustic version on both side , which is obviously a hit. you need to start creating buzz if u want a hit also creating opportunies on all preforms to build up better chart position.

How is Kelly able to fit any genre? I've never experienced that level of versatility from another vocalist. Is this considered a rare talent?

kelly is 100% a legend imo. she is not only a legendary vocalist, she’s the original american idol and paved the way for other idol winners. not to mention her hits get massive recurrent play, i swear i hear a breakaway single every week on the radio.

Kelly is far and away one of the biggest pop culture stars to debut in the 21st century - she is by all measures a true legend. She’s pushing 20 years in the industry and she is just now at the true height of her fame. Not only does she have a popular discography and highly successful international music career, she has a hit Emmy winning daytime talk show, she is a staple figure on “The Voice”, she has some of the biggest original Christmas hits since their release (UTT & WIR), she is a best selling author, a Grammy winner, the original American Idol, etc. I mean, yeah... it’s all there and so much more, she’s a legend.

I guess when I think of legends, I think of people like Elvis, The Beatles, Aretha Franklin. I don't know that I would put Kelly in that category YET. She's certainly a superstar, and potentially a legend in the making. I guess I just feel like it's a bit premature to call her a legend. Not trying to throw shade, you guys know I love Kelly lol. But I do wonder if maybe her status is overblown sometimes.

They're doing so many cool things with such a blah song. Hours later and no one can answer this question. Why are they putting so much into a song that is not that great to begin with. Then you factor in that it isn’t selling or streaming. We get a remix every week and now this. And was I the only one disappointed when they got the email and realized it wasn’t Kelly singing it a cappella?
