Kelly Clarkson- "All I Ever Wanted" (Part #2)

[Pump It]

Already Gone and I Do Not Hook Up are #1 Smashs!! No Doubt!!!

[circadian]

1. MY LIFE WOULD SUCK WITHOUT YOU (8/10)
Nice pop song, nor the best nor the worst. It's catchy, fresh, fun and perfect first single.
2. I DO NOT HOOK UP (7/10)
The song is amazing with Kelly's voice... but for some reason I find it a little bit less catchy than Katy's version, but overall, Kelly's one is miles better, and will definitely be a smash hit.
3. CRY (10/10)
BEST SONG FROM THIS ALBUM! The lyrics are simple but really really good... Her voice sounds flawless here! I love the tempo and everything!
4. DON'T LET ME STOP YOU (9/10)
I don't know... Really really like the song, but I feel like it lacks something... The verses are strong, but I'm not feeling the part where she sings the track's title in the chorus. Either way, the instrumentation is really good and fresh, and her voice sounds also amazing.
5. ALL I EVER WANTED (8/10)
Love the song! But I think I listened a little too much to Aranda's version, so anytime the song starts, I expect the Aranda's guy to start singing LOL Anyway, the melody is amazing, so I'm sure I'll get used to Kelly's voice
6. ALREADY GONE (10/10)
It took me a few listens to get into the song... not because it's not a good song, but because of the Halo similarities. But bottom line, the lyrics are beautiful, and it's a really really cute song!
7. IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU (7/10)
I was excited with the Eurythmics/The Killers/Garbage thing, but I'm not getting the song... I like the electropop style, the hot lyrics and the sexy vocals... but I'm not sure... something's lacking for me
8. SAVE YOU (10/10)
Great! Simple and true song! Her voice shines here... I'm glad they didn't change the demo that much. It's an amazing song and with Kelly's voice, it's heaven
9. WHYYAWANNABRINGMEDOWN (8/10)
Love the damn song! Punk babe! I'm DYING to see her doing this live... it's gonna be insane! I love how she says 'cuatro' LOL Like... well... I get it because my first languaje is Spanish, but still LOL
10. LONG SHOT (10/10)
Loved the Katy's version... it was catchy, but I couldn't understand a damn word... now with Kelly, THIS IS A DAMN FINE POP SONG! I love the way the melody changes at the end of the sentences! The chorus is really catchy! And as a whole it's one of my favorites songs!
11. IMPOSSIBLE (6/10)
Not feeling this song... Love the lyrics, but it hasn't grown on me... Guess in a few days it will
12. READY (9/10)
Love this new version! It sounds really really good! The production is good: simple and cute!
13. I WANT YOU (9/10)
I love this song! Fun and love the 70s vibe... I could easily picture a beach-themed video for the song LOL With Kelly doing that cheesy dance people used to do back at the 70s/60s LOL And with Jill and Kate at the background doing it too LOL Ok, moving on LOL
14. IF NO ONE WILL LISTEN (8/10)
I take the song for what it is... a cute ballad to showcase Kelly's voice... and the veredict: mission acomplished!

As a whole, the album is solid and really good! There's a lot of styles mixed in the record, but it sounds really good as a whole! Not 'akward' at all... Love all the ballads! Yeah, they're probably not as deep as the ones from BA/MD, but I think that's the point... They're not the "dark ballads" we're used to... These are "cute" and "true love" ballads... don't know if you get me at this LOL

If it were up to me, the singles would go like this:

1. My Life Would Suck Without You
2. I Do Not Hook Up
3. Already Gone
4. Don't Let Me Stop You/Long Shot
5. Save You
6. Cry

However, I'm sure Kelly's going to push for AIEW to become a single... I'm thinking fourth single... I'd love to get DLMSY/LS as singles, but I don't think DLMSY would be a smash... and I'm not sure if it'd be ok to release both of the katy perry's penned tracks...

I love love love Cry, Already Gone and Save You... but I think Already Gone is the 'easiest' hit... And then, Save You wouldn't work that well as the last single IMO, because it's a slower song than Cry... But I think: If we get AIEW as a single, then I think they are going to scrap either Cry/Save You and release DLMSY instead... just guessing here

[No Passengers On Her Plane!]

Already Gone, Save You, Impossible, If I Can't Have You... plus Tip Of My Tongue, which we haven't heard yet

[Brethren]

The Ryan Tedder songs are the standouts on the album. Already Gone sounds like a smash in the making. The bridge in Save You is absolutely divine.

A source from RCA felt comfortable in revealing the second single off "All I Ever Wanted" after the album leaked on the internet. According to the source, the next single is "If I Can't Have You" and will be launched between April and May.

WTF?

[repentyourself]

^i don't believe that.

kelly said herself IDNHU is the second single.

[pce2b]

Um - Cry is insane. Like Sober level if not better. Wow. I was soooo pumped for Already Gone and Save you and then Cry came in and just demolished 'em.

I'll do this by groups.

Favorites: Cry, I Do Not Hook Up (So Catchy and such a good message!), All I Ever Wanted, WHYYOUWANNABRINGMEDOWN (way to go Kelly)

Love: DLMSY, Long Shot (SUCH an improvement - I love it now! I wish the producers had stepped it up with Save You like they did with this), If No One Will Listen (sucker for these songs and Kelly)

Like: MLWSWY, If I Cant Have You (unintentional but annoyingly similar to fly on the wall), already gone (what is the matter with me? maybe a few more listens?), Save You (biggest disappointment for me - its great, but its pretty similar to Aimee's and I don't feel Kelly is connecting to the song when she is singing), Impossible (I think this will grow quickly on me), I Want You

Don't like: Ready (sorry guys - never have been a big fan, just not my taste)

Overall her best album in my opinion - its easy to say Breakaway is better 5 years later, but we all have had time to sit on it. This one is special and I am so excited for her.

[K.]

I think Already Gone is pretty, but it's just such a rehash that I don't think it should be released.

I hope not!!!
Man that's making me worry ..
I Do Not Hook Up is the right 2nd single imo... it's going to be huge. Even Long Shot is gonna make a better single than If I Can't Have You.

[- d!Va -]

OMG If No One Will Listen is so GOOD!!!

[Focus]

Of the ballads I'd rather see either "Cry" or "If No One Will Listen" released as a single over "already Gone" (which is great but will possibly get negative criticism because of it's similarity to Ryan's other ballads).

I KNOW!! Her voice on this song is brilliant. So different because she uses mostly her head voice and is very understated in it's use until she get to the building finale of the song. By far one of my favorites on the album.

[Pump It]

Ahhh, I can see people comparing Already Gone to Halo and whatever but who cares...It must be released...It is so haunting and she sounds absolutely amazing!!

[K.]

She has too many good ballads to need AG. I just hope she doesn't do it. No offense to anybody who likes it, I would just much rather her release Cry or Save You.

Hope that's fake... IICHY is a terrible choice for the second single...

[SHOOTER]

I will be good...I will be good...I will be good...

[- d!Va -]

oh i hope its fake too
dont worry kelly has been saying hook up.
posters n stickers would have MLWSWY, Hook Up and Already Gone as featured songs. good choice.
I still need a few days to decide which ballad would be my preference to be released first.
If No One Will Listen isnt gonna be a single though... They have Already Gone and Cry thats got more commercial appeal for radio.

[Modern Myth]

Singles should be:

1. My Life Would Suck Without You.
2. Don't Let Me Stop You.
3. Cry.
4. All I Ever Wanted.
5. Already Gone/Save You
6. I Do Not Hook Up/Impossible.

That's my thoughts.
I think most of the songs on the album could do something besides "I Want You" and "Whyyawannabringmedown."

[- d!Va -]

why cant they take a chance and release I Want You as the last single? It's fun and different. super catchy!

[pce2b]

is Cry country-ish enough to release it separately to that format?

[Keelzit]

Is it me or does Already Gone = Halo by Beyonce? :O The similarities are tooooo obvious, even for Ryan Tedder.

[sosickofluvsongs]

OMG. Whyywannabringmedown is AMAZING!I heard the original (and I played it a lot on my iPod), but Kelly still owned this song.

I don't think so. Even Kelly says it's not a country song - it just has Country influences.

If they do a re-mix, probably.

[Keelzit]

I Do Not Hook Up > Since U Been Gone, at least for now!!

AGreed. I can't believe how awesome this song is, esp because the demo's horrible.

[- d!Va -]

I have played I Do Not HOok UP non stop! Its so addicting! OMG.
Long Shot has very strong verses, but weak chorus.
What do you guys think of All I Ever Wanted as a single down the road? after mlwswy,idhu,already gone.
Don't Let Me Stop You is also a strong uptempo. a little harder, more mature sound.

[justmusicjunkie]

Cry is maybe the most beautiful display of vocals I have heard in a really long time.
