Disappointed to see Invincible out already, it took a while to grow on me but now I properly LOVE IT. Totally going to be a Kelly classic.

'Invincible' in about the right position tbh. It's just "there" for me. I'm disappointed it's done as poorly as it has in the charts due to it being her, but I'm not surprised really. As I said before, it reminds me of 'I Do Not Hook Up' in that sense (IDNHU is still to come though?).

 

Initially I'd have agreed with Liam about 'Heartbeat Song', but you know what, more & more listens and the more I'm actually appreciating it! Ecstatic it went on to be a big hit for her :wub: 'Dark Side' way too high though, with 'Walk Away' being too low. :( 'People Like Us' should've been a bigger hit than it actually was, too!

14. I Do Not Hook Up | All I Ever Wanted | Avg.7.964

Highest Rates: 10 (Liam, Ultraviolence1989, Sean, Troublepink, Insomnio, Riser), 9.5/9 (Regina, Joe, Mack, Ryan, barbaric dan, Adamaloud, Heezus Froot, Nick F1, Kylie Jackson, Jark)

Lowest Rates: 2 (Fgiboy2511), 5 (Griff, Acidburn, Vibe, Liamshikari27)

 

 

At #14 is "I Do Not Hook Up" which to be honest isn't one of Kelly's finest moments, don't get me wrong I don't hate the song, it's just that I find it very average and there were much better songs on the album than this, and the fact that I wouldn't have placed it this high on here, especially over much better songs that have dropped already, but the scores speak for themselves with 6 10's, 10 9's and 11 8's. Released in April 2009 as the 2nd single from her 4th album "All I Ever Wanted" and was written by Katy Perry and was intended for her own album, but following her removal from the Def Jam label, this and another track "Long Shot" was given to Kelly. In the USA it was quite successful reaching #20, but in the UK it didn't do so well by peaking at #36, despite the previous single topping the charts there. Elsewhere it had better reception by reaching top 10 in Australia and Hungary and top 20 peaks in Netherlands and Canada, along with top 40 peaks in Ireland, Sweden, New Zealand and Slovakia.

13. Mr Know It All | Stronger | Avg.8.051

Highest Rates: 10 (Liam, gooddelta, Acidburn, Ultraviolence1989, Mullo, Simon, Gavindeejay, Sean), 9.5/9 (Frank, Mack, Ryan, barbaric dan, Scherz, Insomnio, Bartsimpson)

Lowest Rates: 3 (Mr Aly), 5 (American Oxygen, Vibe, Aled)

 

 

At #13 is "Mr Know It All" and quite a surprise as this was actually higher during the first half of the rates and looked set to end up in the top 10, but the scores started to slow down and it ended up here, which isn't bad and still a respectable position and with several high scores of 8 10's, 8 9's and 8 8's. Released in September 2011 as the lead single from her 5th album "Stronger" and does mark quite a change of pace for her going for more a R&B influence and a softer vocal, it was also actually the last song she recorded for the album and became another success for her, although it would be later overshadowed by the follow up single, but none the less it became another hit for her by reaching #10 on the USA Top 100 becoming her 9th top 10 hit and reaching #4 in the UK. Elsewhere it topped the charts in Australia and South Korea and managed top 10 peaks in Scotland and New Zealand, then top 20 in Canada, Ireland and Germany and top 40 in Swiss, Austria, Japan and Slovakia.

MKIA is decent, but the Country version makes it so much better
MKIA is so underrated, I'm glad it's higher than I expected <3
MKIA came on shuffle the other day and I properly loved it after not hearing it for a while. It is underrated tbh (but again, it's probably in the right place on this countdown). Lovely song.

12. Sober | My December | Avg.8.081

Highest Rates: 11 (Frank, Jonjo, Kellyann, Lukuzz, Bartsimpson), 10 (Liam, Mullo, Kylie Jackson, Insomnio, Liamshikari27), 9.5/9 (gooddelta, Griff, Acidburn, J*hnkm, American Oxygen, Nick F1, Troublepink, Jark)

Lowest Rates: 1 (Fgiboy2511), 3.5 (Martyn)

 

 

At #12 is the fantastic "Sober" which was released in July 2007 as the 2nd single from her 3rd album "My December" . Kelly wrote the song after her friend Calamity McEntire gave her the line "Pick her weeds and keep the flowers". Despite receiving instant acclaim the song was only given a soft release in the USA with no music video to promote it, and only a few live performances, it failed to make much impact by not cracking the US Top 100, peaking at #110 and only charting at #93 on US Pop 100. This is one of her most beautiful numbers, that deserved more than it did, and all this down to the record company having no faith in the project. But at least here it received some love and a lot of high scores including 5 11's, 5 10's and 8 9's, also so glad that it ended up so high here.

11. Miss Independent | Thankful | Avg.8.131

Highest Rates: 10 (Ultraviolence1989, American Oxygen, Sean, Kellyann, Bartsimpson), 9.5/9 (Liam, Acidburn, AdamAloud, Heezus Froot, Troublepink, Kylie Jackson, Scherz, Insomnio, Riser)

Lowest Rates: 4 (Martyn), 5 (Mack(

 

 

At #11 we say goodbye to the last of the "Thankful" era "Miss Independent", while the US got the first taste of her on "AMLT", this one introduced her to the world, released in April 2003 as the 2nd and lead single from her first album. This was originally intended for Christina Aguilera's 2nd album "Stripped", but was given to Kelly after the song was unfinished during that time. This showed a different side to her at the time, after releasing a ballad first and now a pop rock song and became her 2nd top 10 hit on the US Top 100 peaking at #9. In the UK it was released as her first single and peaked at #6 becoming her first top 10 hit there. Elsewhere it charted best in Australia reaching #3 and managed top 10 peaks in Belgium and Netherlands, along with top 20 in Ireland and top 40 in Sweden and Austria.

Horrendous result for one of my all time favourite songs (and easily my favourite Kelly track!). :( - Sober.

 

'Miss Independent' is OK at best for me. She absolutely smashes it on the vocals though!
