At tonight's pre-show, Kelly sang Cold As You (Taylor Swift), The Climb, and a song called So He Says. I REALLY hope videos leak of "Cold As You" and "The Climb!"

the North American leg of the My December tour grossed a little over $ 2.5 mil., the 2 worlds tour grossed a total of over $ 15 mil. in 2008 and I expect the All I Ever Wanted Tour to gross over $ 6 million in the U.S.

I don't know if this has been brought up anywhere; recently a bunch of Katy Perry unmastered tracks and demos leaked and among them was a 'final mix' of Long Shot. I don't know if it's actually a final version or a later demo but it is DRASTICALLY different to the first Katy version. It has a largely new vocal track which is far more listenable and arrangement-wise it is much closer to the version Kelly released. :) Ultimately this new Katy version of 'Long Shot' still doesn't hold a torch to Kelly's but it's still pretty nice. Unfortunately the only version on YouTube cuts out midway through the song but the full length thing is 4 minutes.

I always wondered how they listened to that first demo and thought it could work. Katy's vocals are still seriously God-awful on this. I don't think she has a good voice, but she sounds so much better on a lot of her other stuff--listening to either versions of this is incredibly painful (and surprising).

Bad vocals from Katy = Dog bites man. It's a shame, she's a pretty good songwriter and has the look, personality and attitude of a pop superstar. But I have a feeling that unless she somehow retrains her voice pretty dramatically, in 5 years or so, she'll be concentrating on songwriting for other people or maybe acting or something.
I'm ambivalent about whether it would be good for Kelly to record any more Katy songs. Probably Katy's career is riding high enough now that she won't be shopping any of her good material, so it's probably moot, but while IDNHU and Long Shot are good, fun songs and fit Kelly's personality, they don't really seem to give people what they want from Kelly. In the future, if she's doing albums that are 50% her own songs plus a Max/Luke tune or two, she should probably look elsewhere to fill out the rest.

If you expect Clarkson to record more than 2 more Max Martin songs in the rest of her career, you will be surprised. She might record one more for the lead single of her 5th album. But she is definitely not going to record anything more than that. She will be working with her band members and producers like David Kahne.

Don't get me wrong, I love anything Kelly does, I just live for Max and Luke songs, so it'd be sad to see their fantastic relationship end. Ryan Tedder too. Love him and Kelly together.

I don't think anyone buy maybe Kelly knows what she will do over her next few albums. I won't be shocked if she never records another Max Martin song. But Max's songs have been good for her, if I was advising her I'd tell her that unless she's doing a theme album like My December or an all-one-genre album, she should stick with the mix of 1-2 Max Martin songs, 6-7 Kelly songs, and tracks by a few other songwriters for variety.

Well, Max Martin doesn't need her considering he's doing quite alright going to number one with P!nk and Britney Spears and I'm sure the contempt and ungratefulness he gets from Kelly Clarkson fans for providing her with hit songs isn't that appealing anymore- others will be more than happy to take them.

Nobody knows what the future holds for Kelly, recording wise, except for Kelly and her label. We don't even know how many more albums she owes them.

As if Max Martin cares about fanbases. This, and I'm not sure what kind of contempt you're referring to. Most all of the fans on here (since Pulse is where we all typically get our fan generalities) loved MLWSWY and its longevity. And no one argues that SUBG lifted her to superstardom. While many Kelly fans might prefer the Addicted/Maybe/Ready/Sober type stuff (because it usually showcases her voice better), I don't know of anyone who denies the significance the Max Martin tracks have had on her career.

If Kelly works with Max again I hope they do a ballad together! I really want Kelly to work with Toby Gad.

It would be pretty funny if they both made fun of the situation and did a mash-up of the songs.

I wish she'd do two tracks with Max Martin for her next album. One can be along the veins of SUBG/MLWSWY, while the other one will be more similar to "Hazel Eyes." BTHE is one my fave singles from her!

Well that's a given. ;) Apparently someone started a Kelly vs. Taylor Swift thing and it turned into this. Kelly's #2 right now. Claude Kelly tweeted this, it's really nice of him. im not sure why Kelly Clarkson is a trending topic, but i love the woman. wouldnt be where i am without her beautiful voice...literally 12 minutes ago from web

Ok I'll give you IDNHU... that didn't catch on with the public, but how can you make that judgment about Long Shot? I think if LS were released second it would have done MUCH better and I also think it should be the 4th single.

I think the only options for singles at this point are IICHY and then Cry/I Want You.
I only include I Want You because Kelly seems to love the song but if Kelly gets her way she will probably go with Cry and I see no reason not to give her the choice if it is a 5th single. It isn't like they will expect much from it and it can't really kill any momentum if it flops because its the final single anyway.
