June 7, 201510 yr I sat through the first three minutes of the Ellen perf thinking it was okay but her vocal was a touch off, but then she unleashed a series of adlibs over the final chorus so biblical that I was briefly taken to church. Preach it Kells.WASN'T IT, JUST!? WOW. (But her Live Lounge version of it was SO much better!) The performance in question is.... 5D86ewrq-t8 Oh and now it's been upped, here's her Live Lounge version of it: xD5j2kKb0a0 Also the 'This Morning' perf from the 5th... V-D-nO2OM4o And FINALLY (sorry!) she has finally entered the top 1500 over here at #628 :cheer:
June 7, 201510 yr It's not even top 500 on iTunes. I can't see this doing much in the UK and I think it will be lucky to break the top 200 on iTunes, video premiere followed by two live performances should be enough to put it top 100.
June 7, 201510 yr The problem is that This Morning's performance is the only one to go out to the public. The Live Lounge was an exclusive to the iPlayer, so only fans will go looking for it. Making her sing Heartbeat Song instead of Invincible was ridiculous. She didn't even perform it at the Summertime Ball!! Her team have released the song at the wrong time. Another uptempo, or even one not quite so intense, would have been more suited to a summer release. Kelly needs radio and they big networks aren't behind this, so it'll flop :(
June 7, 201510 yr The song is really growing on me but it's clearly not a hit. It's an impressive song, but just a strong album track. It's not exactly an album brimming with potential hits (as strong as it is), but it should have been Dance With Me really and Run Run Run MUST be released in winter, or at least autumn.
June 10, 201510 yr Heartbeat Song was spectacular, but this one just doesn't cut it. I'd love to see War Paint made into a single.
June 10, 201510 yr I'm amazed this has been C-listed by Radio 1 this week :o I was certain they were going to snub it and that's why they relegated it to iPlayer only when she was in the Live Lounge. It's rather strange..
June 10, 201510 yr Yep! Hopefully it means that instead of it being a fleeting top 150 hit, it'll now become a fleeting top 75 hit at the least! :D
June 19, 201510 yr Lmao. Looks like I was a bit optimistic with my "Top 150 fleeting hit" comment... #862 on iTunes, with B-List rotation on Radio 1 starting on Monday! :cry: However, despite this singles performance, I'm very pleased with how this campaign has turned out for her! Her album spent a few weeks inside the top 40, whilst other acts who are at similar positions in their careers, have seemingly peaked and then free fallen all the way out of the charts in like 3 weeks (2 in some cases!). 'Heartbeat Song' turned out to be a legitimate smash too! I hope they don't end the campaign just because 'Invincible' is flopping all over the world (even with all this promo). I really think they should get the John Legend song out there asap which could save the era, before moving onto 'Dance With Me' & then closing with the title track.
June 19, 201510 yr I think they will carry on regardless of it flopping because she's planning to tour the US & Canada later this year. She needs one of the more upbeat tracks for radio to get back on board. Either that or 'Piece by Piece' and play the 'Because of You 2.0' card during the promo.
June 19, 201510 yr I've seen this on a few music channels and despite a performance on This Morning the single has done next to nothing on iTunes. 150. Kelly Clarkson - Heartbeat Song 177. Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway 323. Kelly Clarkson - Heartbeat Song 723. Kelly Clarkson - Invincible 1033. Kelly Clarkson - Since U've Been Gone 1089. Kelly Clarkson - What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) 1096. Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You 1422. Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You 1486. Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes
June 26, 201510 yr This has now peaked at around #120 on iTunes and is hovering around there atm. Hopefully it can keep going through next week as second week on the Radio 1 B-list helps it!
June 26, 201510 yr watch?v=21E44wmKkBY She hinted at a tour being November time but surely that isn't enough time to promo it?
July 6, 201510 yr This is being used on the new ITV encore advert. You hear a good 1 minute of it! Might have some effect? :cry:
July 10, 201510 yr A little dissapointing I must say. I was hoping for more of a Heartbeat Song or Since U Been Gone :(
July 10, 201510 yr Up to #74 on iTunes! The advert being more useful than Radio 1 play listing *.* Surprised Capital didn't get behind it though, considering she seems to be liked by them and she performed at Summertime Ball.
