Not a fan of this. I prefer 'Cry'.

Damn... I don't like that arrangement that much, but oh, well, the vocals were really good... hopefully the performance will spark some interest in the song :)

Didn't really like the arrangement, I was hoping for the same arrangement as the Australian radio performance. But she sounded good.

I loved it. She was perfect and so were her backup singers. Everything about it was perfect imo.

I missed the Letterman performance! >:(
I hope a video surfaces soon. I like AG, but would like it SO much better with different production. That acoustic version she performed in Oz was fantastic! Much catchier and much more Kelly than the Tedder version.
Is the radio version an actual re-recording of the song or just a shortened version?

She sounded fantastic! And I'm so glad she did Already Gone and not IDNHU!

Having heard the song a bunch of ways, I liked this, but I'm not sure it's the best way to introduce the song to people who hadn't heard it before. Upside: nobody would think of Halo. And Kelly's voice sounded great.

Great performance! I kinda liked the arrangement, it was laid back and beautiful at the same time.

It was beautiful but I can tell you, having heard it for the first time if this is the way she's going to perform it, I don't see it reviving sales of this album. Unless the depressed are interested. It sounds like something put out to say "goodbye" made me feel sad, like a funeral. Beautiful though but it wouldn't make me want to run out and purchase a cd after hearing it, for sure. I'd recruit her to perform it at funerals or maybe a lullaby to sleep by. I'm not even sure how this one will do on pop radio but if Hook up didn't help sales being all kinds of catchy, I don't see how slowing it down to the point of turtle speed will help either.
It is nothing at all like Halo. Halo is better, at least more catchy.

Gorgeous vocals, her clothes.... not so much, she really needs a stylist. Also the arrangement made the song too boring.

I've been listening to music for decades, and it cannot be that a ballad has never been a hit in the months of July and August. Besides, AG isn't going for adds until at least August 4th, so by the time it really gets out there on radio, the summer will be over.

Wow, that was boring. I actually fast-forwarded to the end in order to hear her adlib. She sounded great at the end but I was too bored to watch the whole thing. =/

Really enjoyed the arrangement--she made a Tedder production sound singer-songwriter haha. Gorgeous vocals, thought she looked great--wonderful all around.

That was beautiful. I haven't watched all of her performances this era, but this was the best vocal I've heard from her this time around. It might actually even suit her better than her previous two singles. I wish her the best with it. :)

That version of AG makes the song a little more listenable to me, but I don't think anything can make me like this song at this point, which is why I still hate the single choice -- it's far too polarising. People either think it'll be a major hit or it'll be a dud. There's no general consensus behind its performance which I think will hurt it.

hmmm still not a big fan of this song in general. i adore kelly and get she needs to release a big ballad and her vocals on letterman were flawless but the song in itself is just too way sedating and bland :(. Im praying this is a decent hit so DLMSY gets released. That song to me is the sleeper big hit from this album - its classic, catchy, melodic, rocker Kelly.

I think the generally feeling for Already Gone is most think it will do well. There are people who think it will underperform or "flop" as well but those opinions don't seem to be shared with as many people. There hasn't been a Kelly single yet where everyone was 100% behind it being successful.

That was a great performance. I have to say that the more I listen to this, the more I see it being a massive hit I hope Kelly does a lot of promotion for this, with a few appearances on huge TV shows. I wonder if she will perform on SYTYCD again... not that it helped IDNHU
