OMG... Already Gone is amazing! :o The production is a much better "Halo" and the vocals is very ethereal - Annie Lennox-ish if that made sense. Whoa... I actually like Long Shot than I Do Not Hook Up (I preferred IDNHU from the Katy samples). Was LS produced by Howard? It's so Howard!  |

Not to sure how I feel about this album..I feel like there's not many Kelly songs, and a lot of songs that sound like other artists songs. Too many Katy Perry/Lady GaGa on here for me.

It's funny how "If I Can't Have You" sounds a lot like "Fly On The Wall". |

It's funny how "If I Can't Have You" sounds a lot like "Fly On The Wall". I've never heard Fly On The Wall so maybe that's why I think IICHY is one of the best tracks. For me it has a slightly Negotiate With Love feel to it. |

Dont Let Me Stop You sounds like it could be a duet with Pink or something

I don't hear much difference between the original version and the Kelly version of Save You. Hmmm...

I don't hear much difference between the original version and the Kelly version of Save You. Hmmm... I was actually hoping it would be a carbon copy of the demo (which was perfect), at least production wise. I still really love it though, regardless of the small changes. |

Lady GaGa? ... lol yes, the electric pop/rock feel to some of the songs. I'm not really into that, and it seems I like a lot of the songs that some people don't like. Like, I love I Want You, it has a 60s surfer vibe to it with the repetition and such. |

I can't decide if I like that there's not much difference with SY. I guess why fix it when it ain't broken but at the same time, I kinda wanted something different because I've already overplayed the original version LOL.
Ok... Don't Let Me Stop You is really, really good. My 2nd fave so far after AG. It's the track that sounds like it could fit on the Breakaway album.
I liked what they did with the production of Ready. It reminds me happy childhood memories and a crossover between "Be Still" and "Maybe".

Wow- this is a solid record from start to finish with just a few fillers, IMO. 1. 'My Life Would Suck Without You'- my second to least favourite track...enough said. 2. 'I Do Not Hook Up'- big WOW at Kelly's ability to make lemonade out of lemons (well not really, just Katy's horrid voice on that track). I am shocked to say that I actually like this a lot and can definitely see the HUGE hit potential on this one. 3. 'Cry'- my absolutely favourite track on this record- such an emotional ballad with very heartfelt lyrics and should be released to country and AAA in addition to Hot AC, CHR/Pop if it becomes a single. WOW @ the vocals on this one ! 4. 'Don't Let Me Stop You'- LOL @ the 'Hazel Eyes' guitar intro, but aside of that, it's a very good track, especially the buildup to the chorus with the higher key change in the pre-chorus verses. The lyrics are a bit MEH for me.... 5. 'All I Ever Wanted'- my second or third favourite track, which I hope is also released as a single. Love the funky intro and love the retro-ish chorus, love the lyrics, and killer, crazy vocals. This left me with a big WOAH ! 6. 'Already Gone'- so Tedder-esque which is not a bad thing, good lyrics, very anthemic, and goosebump-worthy angelic vocals, which should fare well as a third single to release early summer and peak early fall. I can see what people say about this being a great exit song for American Idol this year- the violins add a rather nostalgic effect. 7. 'If I Can't Have You'- very much the 'Gone'-esque track for me. Listenable but nothing special 8. 'Save You'- LOVE this song ! I am biased having heard the demo, which is very, very similar but with better/Kelly's vocals, which I am pleasantly surprised are left unadultered and not drowned out by the instruments, which I felt happened on the demo version. Another Tedder anthem, another good track. 9. 'Whyyawannabringmedown'- the 'Walkaway' of this record. I had a huge smile on my face listening to this track, because I did not know that Kelly had it in her to be able to do that with her voice to punkify it, lol. Well done, but not even close to on my favourites on this record ! 10. 'Long Shot'- BIG upgrade from the annoying, cringe-worthy Katy Perry demo, but the standout worst track for me because of the juvenile lyrics and melody ! 11. 'Impossible'- love the electronica/guitar intro. Was meh about it on first listen, but upon second listen, this song quickly became a keeper- in fact, one of my favourites on this record. I love what she does to her voice on the chorus. 12. 'Ready'- I love this version better than the demo simply because of the church-style organ added to the verses, which for me adds an even more sarcastic funness just before the choruses. A definite summer track and sure fan-favourite !!! 13. 'I Want You'- my third-fourth favourite song on this song. Love the retro feel to the song, really lovey-dovey cute in a "shoo-bop" way. Again, shows another side to Kelly and her unbelievable versatile voice. I can see this being the other fan-favourite of the record 14. 'If No One Will Listen'- vocals are out of this world, lyrics are decent, but the melody is rather meh for me. I can see this becoming a grower after a few more listens. Conclusion: Great production and thank god, no more tampering with Kelly's world-class instrument after the first track (sorry, Luke: quit "fixing" Kelly's voice ! ). I love how her voice is kept almost as raw and relatively unlayered, much like 'My December' (unlike 'Breakaway' which was way too overproduced, IMO). I am not sure if this record is better than my favourite Kelly record to date, 'My December', but I can see it taking the top spot after more listening in my car or on my sound system, rather than computer speakers. Well done to Kelly and producers; I am shocked at how sloppy iTunes handled this leak. I am sure RCA will be in talks with Apple: could billboard type of promo on their main page for an extended period of time be a good reparation for such a f*ck up ? We'll see..... |

MLWSWY: Catchy, great. Obviously not the best to offer on the album 4/5
Hook Up: I actually liked Kelly's version of it, and I don't mind it being the next single 4/5
Cry: LOVE IT. SINGLE PLEASE. 5/5
Don't Let Me Stop You: I like this one a lot after first listen. Potential single 4/5
All I Ever Wanted: I didn't mind the Aranda demo, and Kelly's done a good job of it here. 4/5
Already Gone: Beyonce's 'Halo' was completely lost on me. Same applies here. 1/5
If I Can't Have You: I can hear the FOTW stuff, definitely. I want this one as a single too. 5/5
Save You: Eh. It's alright but I personally found it a little boring. 3/5
WYWBMD: Wasn't a fan of Aranda's version. Don't really like this either. 2/5
Long Shot: Hated Katy's version. The song fits Kelly like a glove. Single option! 5/5
Impossible: At first I thought I was gonna like it a lot but it got a bit stifled. 3.5/5
Ready: Didn't really do anything for me. 2/5
I Want You: Eww. Ditch the throwback sound; that's why I didn't like Ready. 2/5
If No One Will Listen: Didn't instantly grip me but I could see it growing on me. 3.5/5

After listening to this even more I really like it, but its not as good as Breakaway. Breakaway seemed like pure Kelly, this sounds like 5 different artists, which isn't necessarily bad but I prefer a record to be cohesive.
My favs keep changing but for right now i love: Cry, Ready and Already Gone.
Hook Up is catchy but its too cheerleader-y for me.

ON first listen  amazing "My Life Would Suck Without You"- As I will always say a kinda boring but ctchy song. Not up to par with Since U Been Gone or BTHE. "I Do Not Hook Up"- Bad song with great vocals "Cry"- a beautiful song really heartfelt, the kind of song that gets me everytime. "Don't Let Me Stop You"- MLWSWY's best friend kinda similar and bland. "All I Ever Wanted"- great hook and no joke a great song. "Already Gone"- Second favorite cant get enough a beautiful song 3 single ftw "If I Can't Have You"- songs like fly on the wall lmao but it could be better. "Save You"- nice easy track "Whyyawannabringmedown"- funky as hell and i am loving it. "Long Shot"- horrible "Impossible"- could be a drak horse it has something special there "Ready"- the best song on the cd and i am mad at some of the lyrical changes but it is such a beauiful song with the best harmonies from her to date. "I Want You"- Weird but we will seee..... "If No One Will Listen"- corny ending ballad but still very pretty RIGHT NOW THE RANKING MD AIEW BREAKWAY THANFU |

It seems im the odd one out.. I think IDHU is catchy as hell. DLMSY is good , AIEW is funky but i like it, IICHY is another really catchy song.. I can see it being a single.., WHYAWANNA reminds of Foo Fighters but in a good way Its strong I love it, I Want You is brilliant.. I love it.. Thats def one of my Favs by her period. I would love to see it be the 3rd single.. Perfect for middle of Summer.

It sounds good so far, very catchy and hooky.
Sounds like it's a little more mainstream/poppy then her previous two albums?
