I think each album has improved from the last,
Although My December was v. personal to her it wasnt radio friendly, which is why it resulted in poor sales (in comparison to BreakA.)
AIEW has some very personal songs and is also radio friendly i dont understand why people say they dont like it, especially with songs like Cry, If no one will listen, Save You, Can we go back

After seeing her live yesterday, I find it very hard to think this album is a flop... considering this album gave her her first UK number one.
Kelly joked about her record label last night and then started singing '2 more records' meaning she only has 2 more albums to go.

Kelly doesn't really want to do pop music, she is contracted to do so. In 2 albums time I can see her having a completely different audience, she wants to write her own songs and be bluesy. I don't believe this is a flop, I think it is a fantastic album... which is a lot different than anything else she has done up too now.
Kelly is never going to be the skinny pop star you all want her to be, she isn't like that.

the album is a mess tbh, it sounds like a crap attempt at Breakaway b-sides. She's cemented herself 'sell-out' status.

I disagree, I think some of the songs on the album are fantastic and are nothing like breakaway, songs like 'If I Can't Have You' are a completely new move for Kelly. She is hardly a 'sell out' she hasn't gone against anything she has said, it's just with this album she has had to lean on her record label's side a bit more. She couldn't have another 'My December' because she would then have completely no support from her record label.
There is no way she can win really, she either sounds too samey or too different.

How was it last tom?

Last night?
She was incredible, its well known Manchester is her fave stop on tour... but the crowd were SO loud. It was amazing, her voice was so on last night, she hit all the high notes and some bits left you screaming... her videos on youtube do not do her justice!
It was a great show with no frills, it was just Kelly on stage with a band of musicians and her amazing voice stole the show, no costume changes or dance routines. The crowd were crazy, everyone near me were wasted and we were jumping about all night and dancing and it got really hot and sweaty... one girl passed out behind us, scary stuff.

My faves from the night were Lies, Walking after Midnight, Already Gone and MLWSWY.
OH and can you spot me in this pic? She took it on stage during MLWSWY and posted it on her twitter. Hint... I am in the middle!

There are so many songs which can be downloaded off of this site :D, some might even be off of the new album!

Ugh, just let AIEW die already, and bring out a new album later this year!

Thats the plan, some of the songs like poison candy may be on the new album :D

One early review of the single:

Looking forward to it! :D

I'm pretty sure Stronger is a different title for What doesn't Kill You, that leaked a few weeks ago

After so many leaks it's good to be getting something official :amazed:

The review was right, it does sound similar to "Just the Way You Are", her voice sounds really strong though, I hope it does well for her.
