October 25, 201113 yr Not a loon for Kelly, but I don't dislike her... But I must say, what an album! Really surprised how good it is! Listened to nearly all the tracks, and none as such yet that I think are weak.... :)
October 25, 201113 yr I can't get into this album. Somebody tell me which song I need to listen to that is going to make me see the light.
October 25, 201113 yr Bought this today and I think it's brilliant! On first two listens, the standouts are the first 2 tracks. But I don't think there's a real bad song there.
October 25, 201113 yr My copy arrived from Australia arrived today! ^_^ Will give it a proper spin asap.
October 25, 201113 yr Bought the album at 1AM Tuesday morning. LOVE it. "Don't Be A Girl About It" is seriously the best thing ever right now. (Even if I prefer the demo).
October 26, 201113 yr Just waiting to find out predictions for US first week... Mr. Know It All is #11 on US iTunes, What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) is #20. EDIT: 19/RCA first-season American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger is off to a nice start, with estimates in the 155-165k range, off from her previous first-week sales of 255k for the March 2009 album, All I Ever Wanted. Edited October 26, 201113 yr by Neil
October 26, 201113 yr I expected more tbh :( Wasn't she #1 on iTunes ahead of Coldplay at some point? On the plus side, Kelly hasn't really been a 'big seller' since Breakaway and will probably make up for it with ticket sales.
October 26, 201113 yr Ticket sales are irrelevant, they don't make the label any money whatsoever. The album might still be headed for platinum though, she's got the Christmas sales bump to fall back on, plus What Doesn't Kill You will with any luck be a bigger hit than Mr Know It All.
October 26, 201113 yr No but obviously with high ticket sales comes demand. In an extreme circumstance, Kelly could be dropped (although I doubt it with only one album left in her contract) based on low sales. Like you said though, WDKY could be a bigger hit than MKIA. I read a review that compared Stronger to Breakaway in a sense that MKIA is Stronger's 'Breakaway' leading up to WDKY being the album's 'SUBG'
October 26, 201113 yr I hope we see Kelly tour the UK soon. On average she takes about a year to make her way over here :( Hopefully we'll see her do some promo for the 2nd single. All we got was a few radio interviews and X Factor *sigh*
October 26, 201113 yr In the HMV in Colchester they were only selling the deluex eddition of the album... Odd. Anyway it was less than a tenner so I purchased it. Still need to listen to it.
October 26, 201113 yr So with all this negativity, I thought I'd rate the album 08 Mr. Know It All 09 Stronger 08 Dark Side 07 Honestly 08 You Love Me 08 Einstein 06 Standing In Front Of You 07 I Forgive You 06 Hello 09 The War Is Over 10 Let Me Down 07 You Can't Win 08 Breaking Your Own Heart 08 Don't You Wanna Stay 08 Alone 10 Don't Be A Girl About It 07 The Sun Will Rise 06 Why Don't You Try Edited October 26, 201113 yr by dannjohn3
October 26, 201113 yr In the HMV in Colchester they were only selling the deluex eddition of the album... Odd. Anyway it was less than a tenner so I purchased it. Still need to listen to it. The UK only got the deluxe. Like with Britney's Femme Fatale.
October 26, 201113 yr 09 Mr. Know It All 10 What Doesn't Kill You 09 Dark Side 08 Honestly 09 You Love Me 08.5 Einstein 08.5 Standing In Front Of You 09 I Forgive You 07.5 Hello 10 The War Is Over 09.5 Let Me Down 09 You Can't Win 06 Breaking Your Own Heart ~ 07.5 Don't You Wanna Stay 09 Alone 00 Don't Be A Girl About It ~ bloody awful 06 The Sun Will Rise V V STRONG although Alone is the only essential bonus. Probably ranks as my second favourite album of hers at this stage (behind My December naturlich).
October 27, 201113 yr 09 Mr Know It All 10 What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) 09 Dark Side 06 Honestly 07 You Love Me 09 Einstein 08 Standing In Front Of You 05 I Forgive You 09 Hello 07 The War Is Over 10 Let Me Down 07 You Can't Win 07 Breaking Your Own Heart 07 Don't You Wanna Stay 10 Alone 06 Don't Be A Girl About It 07 The Sun Will Rise There are no absolutely terrible songs for me but quite a few just 'good' ones. Thankfully the amazing songs more than make up for it.
October 28, 201113 yr Author 'I Forgive You', 'What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)', 'Mr. Know It All', 'Breaking Your Own Heart' and 'The Sun Will Rise' are pulling away as my clear favourites! :wub: All i all though I'm still finding it hard to take this album off of repeat. I can only remember being THIS obsessed with a couple more albums.
