September 12, 20177 yr Apparantlt there is a song on the album that has Emotions by Mariah type vocals on it.
September 14, 20177 yr Interesting article about her working relationship with Dr Luke from Billboard: Kelly Clarkson Says She Gave Up 'Millions' in Songwriting Royalties to Show How Much She Dislikes Dr. Luke Kelly Clarkson has revealed she willingly lost "hundreds of thousands of dollars," "or millions," in royalties for refusing to associate herself with Dr. Luke as a co-writer on her 2009 single "My Life Would Suck Without You." In a new interview with Z100, the singer said, "I was making a point to the people working with me, going, 'This is how much I didn't want to do this.' I don't care about the money. I don't care about, oh, 'You're going to be the most famous person ever if you do this.' That's not what holds weight in my life." Last year, Clarkson alleged that those who worked at her record label at the time, RCA (owned by parent company Sony), said they would not release her album if she did not work with Dr. Luke. While she insisted her experience with Dr. Luke is nothing like Kesha's alleged experience -- "He didn't do anything like that with me," she said in the Z100 interview, referring to Kesha's allegations of abuse and her ongoing legal battle against the producer -- the former American Idol star is just "not a fan" of him. "There's a lot of times in my career where you don't see my name on the song and that's because sometimes I don't write them," she explained. "A lot of times I do change the song in a way that probably you should ask for credit, but I don't because the song was already great -- I just made it more me. I think a lot of artists steal credit a lot from writers, which I think is super crappy 'cause that's their livelihood." "If I deserve it, I usually ask," she continued. "And I did deserve it on that song just 'cause I changed it a bit," she said of "My Life Would Suck Without You," which went to No. 1. "Basically, they were gonna sit on my record unless I did what they wanted. I was so frustrated because I literally said, 'Anyone in the world but this one person. I will work with anyone you want to put in my path.' I love people. I think that's apparent. I think I'm a nice person, that's apparent. It was just this one thing, and I asked not to work with Dr. Luke just because I had not a good experience with him," said Clarkson. "If an artist like me, I generally love everyone. You have to really be a special kind of ... for me not to like you." "They brought up writing credit at the end," she went on. "They were like, 'Well, you changed the song.' And I was like, 'I don't want my name near his. I want to pretend this didn't happen in my life and I want to forget it.'" Watch Clarkson's full interview with Z100, in which she also discusses her upcoming album and her gig on The Voice, . I didn't know she's going to be a coach on the first 2018 season of The Voice! :lol: :o
September 14, 20177 yr This is why I love Kelly, she knows what she wants, has values and sticks to them, need we discuss My December? I'm sure I remember reading when she worked with him on some of the Breakaway tracks she was reduced to tears by Dr Luke during the recording.

September 29, 20177 yr Surprised that they're still going ahead with the current release date seeing as both "Love So Soft" and "Move You" have bombed everywhere. Not complaining but she probably should have waited for Q1 if she wants a decent peak for the album. Edited September 29, 20177 yr by THEO.
September 30, 20177 yr Surprised that they're still going ahead with the current release date seeing as both "Love So Soft" and "Move You" have bombed everywhere. Not complaining but she probably should have waited for Q1 if she wants a decent peak for the album. Like Where? UK? UK doesn't really matter actually anymore for her status. most importantly is US, and US are doing really fine.
September 30, 20177 yr Snippets on her insta story - if you can overlook filters! There’s a Michelle Obama inspired track!
September 30, 20177 yr Similarly to my Miley thread... I don’t think the ambition for either artists is to have big hits this era.
September 30, 20177 yr Like Where? UK? UK doesn't really matter actually anymore for her status. most importantly is US, and US are doing really fine. It charted at #62 in the US...
October 1, 20177 yr It charted at #62 in the US......where very few songs peak in their first week. It's doing fine here. If you look past the first-week chart position, it's still top 40 on iTunes and is on course to get at least as much airplay as Heartbeat Song did. Not an instant hit sure, but not "bombing" by any means, at least not here. UK is another story, hopefully she'll have XF or other good promo lined up.
October 1, 20177 yr Author I think she's moved from being a singles artist tbh. I was hoping she'd be a P!nk type success but eh. I can see her album starting strong tbh. A top 10 debut I imagine.
October 1, 20177 yr I just really want her to announce a tour this time round! Do you mean announces and doesn’t cancel? :kink: Kelly hasn’t cared about commercial success or performance since My December tbh, think she’s probably quite happy putting out the music she likes, regardless of whether the single is a hit anywhere. Like Jonjo said I reckon a top ten album is a given, she’s a big enough name to generate some good starters.
