The talk show (and by extension, the Kellyokes) are the only thing keeping her relevant in 2024 aside from a few of us diehard crazy fans still listening to SUBG on repeat. (And I suppose UTT come Christmas.) I might be in the minority but...I'd prefer she not use her and her teams precious time and resources on another Kellyoke EP. I'd prefer she spend the time focusing on either a new album or her Broadway project, or perhaps her Breakaway celebration/unreleased songs collection. I wish there was a way to make ourselves heard (I think it’s like 5 of us lol) to show Sony we want a breakaway anniversary edition with expanded tracklist. We NEED them demos and unreleased from that era 🫠 Love in these eyes, bleed for me, get away ARE A NEED I don't know how I missed this comment, but YES. I completely agree. BUT they need to do it right. 1. Updated 2024 vocals to all songs. 2. Finished versions of a handful of demos from that era. (The 3 are mentioned are fantastic. I'd add "Go" to that personally, but I can't remember if that was Breakaway or My December.) 3. 2-3 new songs that complement the album without trying to copycat SUBG or BOY. Of all her albums, Breakaway is really the one that deserves a redo the most. Her most successful (by far) and it doesn't hurt that it's also on the shorter side as is so it'd be easy to tack on 5-6 new songs. I wouldn't hate a 2024 version of "Miss Independent" and some of her other earlier hits being added on to it either, though I don't think Thankful redone is strictly necessary.

I always check and watch Kelly Originals and it’s surprising that she picked up “Miss Independent” instead of “Walk Away”! lol

I want her to come out with a Kellyoke volume every two years minimum, but I still think the ideal choice would have been to release a full-length covers EP and promoted it as if it were a traditional, original album. Being the Covers Queen is what she's known for and I think putting the full weight behind that would probably garner more general public attention than anything else musically at this point. The clips coming out from last night's corporate gig are giving new vocal peak energy.

^I love the performance of “People Like Us” in 2024! This is the best version so far. She sounds so crystal clear on every high note. It’s awesome!

I think her streaming numbers are actually pretty poor. I did a very quick comparison of her to most of her peers (female 00s acts, e.g. J. Lo, Xtina, Avril) and she was well below most of them in terms of monthly Spotify listeners. I was a bit disappointed, since she has so many huge hits, more than some of her peers even, and they're outstreaming her by a fair margin.

It’s wild that she goes all out for these random shows. But it looks like a big crowd

My friend randomly messaged me from that event. He's not a big Kelly fan, but he was like "she's singing her ass off!"

As we all know, she could be better but it’s not that poor. - Since U Been Gone : 730m - Because of You : 691m - Stronger : 663m - Underneath the Tree : 642m There are also 11 songs streamed over 100m on Spotify. All of her representive global hits are about to pass 700m soon. On YouTube, the previously uploaded videos were deleted several times so far. It should don’t have done.
