I just posted the cover because I thought it was cool that Kelly's Blender cover was included in AOL Music's Sexy Celebrity Magazine Covers. It really had nothing to do with old news. :) Sorry for the confusion. Whew! I'm glad its an old cover. I wouldn't want to see articles about Kelly "fighting for her life" in any current magazine issues. Hopefully those days are well behind us and good riddance.

Speaking of whether or not Kelly is involved in the arrangements of her songs, a new article about David Cook might shed some light. He had a long interview with the Kansas City Star. The transcript is posted on their site in 3 pages. Here's the link and the relevant question and answer. Talk about the process of picking and arranging songs for “Idol.” Is it all up to the contestants or does the band or someone else help? The arrangements and song selection is all the contestant. Every week obviously with the themes we’re given parameters. But it’s on us. As far as the finished product, we send our notes on the arrangements to the band and they do what they can with those notes. From that there is a little give and a. They give us as much time as possible to make sure we’re able to make the song suit what we want to do. But it’s on us.
www.kansascity.com/238/story/652543.html AI has changed a lot in 7 seasons, but if the first season contestants also were responsible for their own arrangements, then obviously Kelly is good at arranging her own music.

Varlums, at the KCExpress posted this, so I guess it could be any one of these people, but I'm hoping it's Kelly because she just recorded a song with him 2 weeks ago....

;DI hope he's talking about the song he just recorded with Kelly. From an interview with Ryan Tedder.... [/size] What's the initial of the song title?[/size] H. It's one word.[/quote] www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2653&Itemid=9[/quote] Very interesting article, Focus. Thanks for posting it. I hope he is talking about Kelly. Do we know if she's actually got any Ryan Tedder songs finished yet? Given what we've recently been discussing regarding arranging, I also think this bit from the Tedder interview is very interesting, perhaps because I happen to agree. Melody and what he calls "soundscape" do come before lyrics in importance. A song can have the best lyrics ever, but pair them with a crappy melody or grating arrangment, and it never works. Melody, lyric, sound. Can you put those three in order of importance please? I would say… Number one, melody. Number two, soundscape. Number three, lyrics. Melody will always be number one for me.

Yes, on May 23 she posted a journal entry at her Fan Club and said she was very excited because she just recorded a great song with Ryan Tedder that day. Very interesting article, Focus.

I'm with Ryan on that. If the melody doesn't catch me then no matter how great the lyrics are the song isn't going to catch me. I'm glad that Kelly can contribute on both counts because that's very cool. :)

From what I've heard Beyonce is recording non-stop and Jay-Z said Rihanna is 20 songs into her new album. But you can take PCD off that list because they have finished their album and he said artist not group.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if any of Kelly's song titles are one word long and start with the letter H. *Fingerscrossed*

How funny would that be if the first single ends up being one word and starts with an H. We'll already know that it's a smash!

It would be better if he told the initial of the artist's name. :)

She seems to be working with a lot of rhythmic/R&B producers. Are we sure this is a rock album?

Kelly never said she was doing a rock album, the only thing she has said about the album was that she was going to work with a bunch of different people.

^^ I'll second that (for now). I wouldn't mind an all-folk record a few records from now. But at the moment, I'm ready for some pop/rock, rhythm rock, and blues !!!

It's cool to see her taking a more commercial approach with this album. I did love MD, though. That album was an artistic piece of brilliance.

I Breakaway was my favourite Kelly album so I hope she goes for the more pop rock style. My December was a little to rock for me. But I did like some songs on it like One Minute, Maybe, How I Feel, Yeah and probably my favourite one Can I Have A Kiss.

I really hate jumping to conclusions, but.....
On KCE, a member emailed PopJustice (who conducted the Ryan Tedder interview) and here is what he/she asked:
and here was the response:
So, if Kelly recorded that song with Ryan Tedder ~ 5/23/08 and the interview was conducted ~ two weeks ago, might this "H" smash song be on Kelly's record ???? I can't take it !!!!
