So I guess no one is going to stay on topic... But okay...

Anyway if she is going main stream r&b then here is the deal Kelly.

#1 mistake too long to release a video for the lead single and too long to follow up with a second
#2 lack of buzz or promo if you cant get big interviews do TONS of small ones.
#3 live performances to be recognized as a solo NO MORE DC medleys she has enough hits for everyone to sing along to now and please please please retire Dilemma.

Album: record an album in full silently make sure no one can leak it.
Stand firm in the first 2 single choices and shoot videos for both before you even put out a press release about the album
Reason being is because people loose interest quickly because she's never been consistent with the single and album releases.

The single choices & tracklisting may seem wired but this is the thing. Kelly needs MASS appeal. She has the R&B/ Urban community rocking with her however its time to go a little more Mainstream. So lead with mainstream follow with urban and keep doing that with the singles so that you are appealing to both masses here.

IMAGE:
The issue here is now her lyrics are too hard for her sweet personality so it confuses everyone, like is she a sweetheart or a slick talking diva. Go back to the "Ms. Kelly" days where it was a happy medium.
She was styled the best in the "Here I Am" era and now she's gotten too Sevyn Streeterish...

SOUND:
Hate to say it but her album needs to be single heavy so no matter which way her or the label went with single choices she'd have a hit on her hands.

LASTLY:
Kelly, here me when I say KNOW YOUR WORTH! As quiet as its kept your vocals (In Studio) are better than Beyoncé's and that has been said since Survivor Era. When meeting with the label YOU need to have a schedule of release dates and things you NEED to happen on your project and sign a contract that states that the LABEL Needs to meet & exceed those expectations that you have. But please keep it realistic. All you need is consistent single releases and promotion even if its for smaller production companies you need it. And for the week prior, the week of & the week after you need to grace all late night talk shows and daytime shows and on the day of release performance of the song that charted the highest for the album. I don't think she knows she has the power to be a great performer. Dance more! And not just a 1, 2 step KILL IT! Have a flash dance concept for a video. You can do it. Lastly this next era in interviews please state no Bey, Michelle or DC related questions you are there to talk about your album and what YOU have going on. I hope some how someway this gets back to you or someone who can make it happen. I say this all in Love.

Love you KELLS!
