I really hope they do a reunion with all of the surviving contestants. I know Jim V. Is pining for that. And it would be cute to see where they’re all at.

I’m honestly not expecting much of anything, knowing Kelly’s sometimes frustrating modesty. An idol week of kellyokes would be cool. Performing the most iconic idol performances. Stuff like that there, without you, respect, walk on by, you’re all I need. (We’ve already had natural woman as a kellyoke). A special reunion episode with all the contestants would be really cool. However, we did technically already have an idol reunion episode in season one. BUT if they did it at the Kodak theater with the full top 10, judges, and Ryan and Brian it would be something special. Maybe even have some other winners stop by. My dream is still to have studio recordings with today’s voice of all the idol songs.

I have to imagine they’ll do something related to it. 20 years is a landmark anniversary.
Also…20 years?! *cries in Cingular Wireless callback tones*

I'm not expecting anything for the 20th anniversary either but I LOVE this idea! Hearing her voice now on those songs? 😍 It would be really fun to hear Kelly and the season 1 contestants reminisce about their experiences on the show.

Holy crap. I have chills!!! That cover was everything and more! She couldn’t possibly sound any better. Too bad that didn’t make the EP. I hope they remember this one for the next EP!

'Surviving' contestants sounds so morbid, damn lol. "Living" may have sounded less morbid; "surviving" almost implies that American Idol actually caused some deaths. (Third-place contestant Nikki McKibbin died in 2020 after an aneurysm).

I have to agree, sadly. Some of these longer songs that tell a story and end up at a fraction of their actual track times once they've made the 2 minute edit just don't always work out.

Reba's wicked stepson is about to inspire music that will have me in my feels. I hope she releases it in the fall that's when I light my scented 2 wick candles and smoke the most amount of weed.

I want all of her back catalog on vinyl. I wish it was more of a priority. I absolutely loved when Mariah did MC30 in 2020 and made her back catalog more accessible to collectors.

I was more just meaning they release albums that didn’t have half the success to the masses. Pink’s Try This for example is on the shelf at my record store all the time. And albums like Songs About Jane that were Breakaway level huge were available at all the big box stores.

Breakaway came out on vinyl a few years before the vinyl craze really started. Only really die hard fans were buying at the time. The market is completely different now.

I didn’t buy the Breakaway vinyl because it was before the craze set in as much and I didn’t own a record player at the time. Now they are everywhere, I think a lot more of them would sell now. The ONLY physical albums I buy now are on vinyl. I stream anything else.

Vinyl first eclipsed CDs in revenue in 2020, but trade pubs first started noting vinyl sales nearing that of CDs in 2018. I don't think that Breakaway's vinyl being released before the craze 'officially' set in is a full explanation for it not selling since vinyl sales were already growing well enough when it was released (2019).
I remember a few of the early buyers complained about the sound quality of the vinyl, which could have deterred other fans from scooping it up. But generally, that release just wasn't well promoted or well timed IMO. In retrospect it's kind of obvious the only reason RCA even bothered was bc of TKCS launching the month they shipped it, bc they did it in the sort of low-cost-no-effort way that you can expect from a former label trying to scrape a quick buck off a back catalog for an artist no longer signed to them. 2019 was Breakaway's 15 year anniversary, but September was not close to Record Store Day (April) or the actual month anniversary of the album release (November, which also coincidentally coincides with Record Store Day Black Friday), and those are the two months that would have garnered the most attention without needing a mention or an ad somewhere to boost it. Then it was only available at UO, which I doubt TKCS's target demo frequents much. And Kelly herself never even acknowledged the album anniversary, let alone the vinyl release. How would most people have known about it?
If Kelly was more interested in revisiting her old music or commemorating all her release anniversaries, even with most of her albums being on an old label we would likely get all the vinyl pressings and/or re-recorded albums. But I don't think that's where her head is right now. We did good to get the occasional KC Classics in Kellyoke.

Woah, it was really 2019? I feel like the Breakaway vinyl came out well before that. I may have it and not realize it. I have the Piece by Piece vinyl, still shrink wrapped. Didn’t know that until I looked at my collection. I need to alphabetize my vinyls because it is so hard to see what you have. The writing is just so small.
