2nd Update: I’m listening to the leak, and I think Kelly’s got a winner on her hands!   It’s a solid pop record, with Kelly’s awesome pipes the glue that holds it all together.

UPDATE: No need to go to Norway!   I’ve posted the clips after the jump… The Norway iTunes site had the album available for sale for a short time–All I Ever Wanted has leaked on to the internet…

Ok, this is a little clunky. If you want to listen to clips from Kelly Clarkson’s new album, click on:

This Link

BUT–you will have to have iTunes installed on your computer, AND you will have to change your iTunes store to Norway. Yeah, weird. Just click through the screens to do that….

What do you think of the clips?

Kelly’s album All I Ever Wanted, drops March 10.

    Before I go through all of that, do we know if Taylor’s is there? That’s the one I want to hear the song snippets from.

  • http://www.myspace.com/gwendolyndiane GwendolynD

    I’ve listened to that clip of “Already Gone” five times already. Awesome song!

  • hypertwink

    I like Already Gone. Sounds like a lost track from My December. I kinda like Ready too.

  • elisad

    It seems…her album is already released in Norway?

    Love Save You, hate I Want You, what the…

  • YellowClouds

    Maybe I’ve listened to that demo too many times but Kelly’s version of Hook Up actually sounds bland compared to Katy’s.

    Whyyouwanna… is def my favorite right now.

  • holeighannie

    Ooh, “Already Gone” sounds awesome! I’m definitely excited, if only for that song, haha. And it wasn’t that bad to change stores, for anyone concerned. iTunes automatically does it when you click “Change Store”, but I’m not sure how to change back now, haha.

    ETA: Taylor’s CD is not on there, nope.

  • tinawina

    I loved the clips. I am not going back to listen again however, because it took me eons how to figure out getting back to the American ITunes store. LOL

  • http://www.myspace.com/gwendolyndiane GwendolynD

    …and “If No One Will Listen” sounds like classic Kelly.

  • hardkandy

    Yeah.. Already Gone is probably the best snippet. I also like Save You. I like these “ballad-y but not really” type of songs.

  • abbysee

    I can’t wait until March 10th!

  • JJ123

    I’m digging quite a few songs! I love how diverse all the tracks are, Kelly wasn’t kidding when she said she didn’t want all the songs to sound the same…very, very cool!! I can’t wait to have the whole CD in my hot little hands!! And why was released earlier in Norway, how is that freakin fair??

  • bjames

    oh snap. this sounds really good.

  • bjames

    whyyawanna sounds like no doubt…anyone else hear this?

  • windmills

    “iTunes automatically does it when you click à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Change Storeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , but Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m not sure how to change back now, haha.”

    Click on the home icon to go to the front page of the i-Tunes store, then scroll all the way down and you should see a dropdown menu that’ll let choose your i-Tunes country.

  • http://myspace.com/girlgeek mj

    OK I just ripped all the clips…

    See above!

  • latingrl2005

    I love Save You and Ready……

    I can’t wait till I see Kelly and Daughtry in Sept.!!!!

  • thebluemartini

    thank you MJ for making my life easier! haha

  • twinklestar

    The full album has leaked. Sounds amazing so far.

  • JJ123

    I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t wait till I see Kelly and Daughtry in Sept.!!!!

    Where are they going to be in September??

  • bluejeans

    Wow. What sort of crap is “I Want You”? That is terrible! I’m probably still getting the album anyway, just for the slower tracks. Damnit, Kelly!

    Whyyouwannabringmedown sounds like a Gwen Stefani song.

  • blissful

    Love Save you.

    Does she have any writing credits?

  • latingrl2005

    Where are they going to be in September??

    At the York Fair.

    Kelly-9/11 and Daughtry 9/13

  • theamericanidol

    Actually the ENTIRE album FULLY leaked. People in Norway could buy the album due to the iTunes glitch!!! If you’re google competent it will not be hard to find.

    But BUY HER ALBUM MARCH 10 still! It’s hot!

  • Polaris

    deleted

  • JJ123

    Kelly-9/11 and Daughtry 9/13

    thanks. I thought you meant they were performing together, I had a little heart attack of excitement there for a second!!

    okay….google search….hope I can handle it, I wanna hear lol

  • theamericanidol

    If someone happened to RANDOMLY and ACCIDENTALLY visit this link I could not stop them I don’t think….:

    sharebee dot com slash a4d54703

    BUY KELLY’S ALBUM MARCH 10 OR PREORDER NOW! Support Kelly even if you happen to stumble on that link by some serendipitous chance.

  • latingrl2005

    thanks. I thought you meant they were performing together, I had a little heart attack of excitement there for a second!!

    This is my dream pair. I still hope someday the record together.

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    Kellyyyyyyy! I can’t wait til March 10!!

    Gotta wait til I get home to listen to the clips but now I’m really excited to hear them based on all your posts.

  • dante

    Already Gone, Save You and If No One Will Listen are my favs from the snippets – I definately will be buying this whole album!!!!!!!!

  • yeahyeahsure

    This is my dream pair. I still hope someday the record together.

    Same here. I have a feeling it will happen someday. The idea was definitely there already so TPTB just needs to find that perfect time and perfect song. Both has expressed admiration for each other’s voices and work so it will happen again.

    Anyway, it looks like yet another solid album for my Idol queen! I’m so excited for Kelly, the fans and all the success this album is going to have. Kelly’s back with a vengeance! :clap_tb:

  • maggiemay

    i’m listenening to the whole thing right now and absolutely LOVE long shot, don’t let me stop you, save you, impossible, whyyawannabringmedown, i do not hook up

    great album!

  • hardkandy

    I’m downloading the leak ahhhh I can’t waiiitttt to hear the full versions of Already Gone and Save You!!!!! I really, really love me some Kelly ngl.

  • yeahyeahsure

    whyyawannabringmedown is AMAZING! If I Can’t Have You is totally Ryan Tedder. It’s a rockier version of Beyonce’s “Halo”. This album is full of potential singles. And just like I imagined, the Katy Perry tracks sounds million miles better!

  • sparklesgirl2

    I’m downloading the link from a reliable blog… I’m wondering why “My Life Would Suck Without You” isn’t listed on the track listing though… strange! Good thing I already have it!

  • Niall

    I’m going to try to hold off on listening to the whole cd until I buy it March 10th. I did listen to the clips and really liked Don’t Let Me Stop You, If No One Will Listen, Long Shot, and Save You. The only one that I really didn’t like at all was I Want You. I think that one is a steaming mess.

  • KTINTN

    edit: off topic

  • Ladybug

    First off, thanks so much for posting the clips, MJ. I am not sure about this album. Clips don’t tell the whole story, but I am not sure how much I like the production on this album.

    I hear so many other artists, when I really want to hear Kelly. There’s a bit of Pink. A bit of this. A bit of that.

    Certainly some possibilities here, though. I’m not ruling out buying it, but the whole album? Not sure.

  • reeboks1

    i downloaded the leaked album (but i’ve preordered her album already so i don’t feel guilty about it!). it’s very polished (like, REALLY CLEAN sounding) and very very good. catchy all around. i think it’s great. i love kelly. i do wish it were a little more raw though. but still, i’m a huge fan of it.

  • theamericanidol

    Hope you guys enjoy the leaked album…see my previous post for link to it.

    I too have preordered the album.

  • http://myspace.com/girlgeek mj

    Enjoy the leak, but I want to put in another word for compensating artists for their work. It would be cool if y’all bought the album as well. :) .

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    whyyawanna sounds like no doubtà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦anyone else hear this?

    Yes, totally. And I am a big fan of No Doubt, so I love it. That’s probably my favorite of the snippets. I mean, I love ballady Kelly, but I really lurve it when she just lets it all loose.

    Cannot wait!! March 10 can’t get here fast enough! I love having hard copies of albums, so I’m definitely buying it in a store, but I’m trying to decide if I want to download the leak or not.

  • cdb1025

    I downloaded the leak.

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ALBUM..its so amazing..

    i have both versions on iTunes and AMAZON preordered ….

    so ive done my duty!

    if you listen or download the leaks, please PURCHASE THE ALBUM AND SUPPORT KELLY!!!

  • GeminiDolly

    Constant repeats are Hook up, Save you, whyyouwanna, already gone. March 10 hurry up and get here already.

  • sabby_rina

    It’s so weird to hear Kelly’s versions of a couple of these songs, since I’ve been listening to the original versions for a while now as I wait for her new CD to come out.

    I LOVEZ IT! :clap_tb:

  • leome

    Haven’t listened to the whole thing yet, but after listening to the clips Whyyouwannabringmedown and Already Gone stand out the most. The first songs are a bit too alike and in the meh side, but it just gets better.

  • dv

    “I Want You” is really different from Kelly, is that Duffy doing background vocals?

  • yeahyeahsure

    Already Gone is wow, wow, wow. Very ethereal!

  • primeminister

    Kelly makes Long Shot LISTENABLE. It actually sounds like a song now (unlike Katy Perry’s demo version).

    Anyways, I’m going to listen to the full album leak and post my thoughts later!

  • dreamr

    I think I found the leak somewhere. It’s currently downloading, but I’ll let you know once I open it. XD

    And, of course, I will buy the album when it’s out. I buy all of Kelly’s stuff.

    From the clips, a lot of the songs sound awesome. I can’t wait to hear the full versions! :D

  • dreamr

    It wouldn’t let me edit the above comment, soooo…

    It is the full album. Yay! So far, it’s really great! :D

  • themanwashere

    i loved the songs kelly worked with ryan tedder. especially already gone. it sounds so epic. very ryan tedderish with a kelly twist and beyond what i expected. love it.

    i can’t wait for her album. why does it have to take sooo long.

  • yeahyeahsure

    I agree… Already Gone is epic. LOOOVE it!

  • star

    I couldn’t resist downloading the leak. (I *will* buy it on March 10th as well…I’ve got an iTunes balance with Kelly’s name on it!) I’m loving it. “I Do Not Hook Up” is kick awesome (tm Kris Allen) and “Save You” is utter perfection. So, which songs other than “Save You” did Ryan Tedder work on anyway?

  • yeahyeahsure

    The Ryan Tedder tracks:

    Already Gone
    Impossible
    Tip Of My Tongue (bonus track)
    If I Can’t Have You

  • golcook

    Awesome!!! I couldn ´t resist the leak either but I’m also buying a copy of it first day it comes out.

    As she said, it’s a mixture album. It has Rock/pop anthems, up-beat and fun songs and some heartfelted ones. It’s certainly going to be a smash comeback to her.

    >>>Cry, the perfect rock/pop anthem, her voice is great here. One of my favorites.
    >>>Don’t Let Me Stop You, this is the type of kelly I love, the intro sounds so much like BTHE, great great song.
    >>>Already gone, it has One Republic written all over it, sounds so much like Stop and Stare, it’s nice though.
    >>>All I ever Wanted, it’s catchy and it reminds me of British rock beats.
    >>>I Don’t Hook Up / If I Can’t Have You / Long Shot, sound so much like Katy Perry. Long Shot is the best of them. They are fun but not my top favorites though.
    >>>Save You, it’s the perfect mixture of My December and Breakaway, very nice song with interesting elements like the Mozart-like part.
    >>>Whyyawannabringmedown, it’s fun and punk-ish, like no Doubt in their early days, it’s so energetic, made me dance a little.
    >>>Impossible, I just love this song, it’s different, she sounds like Pink in some parts. Definetely in my top 3.
    >>>Ready, it sounds like Pop with a little touch of country, it’s fresh and fun, I really like it, it’s so easy to listen to.
    >>>I Want You, the weakest song on the album, it sounds more like a joke than a fun song, I can’t stand the chorus childish voices.
    >>>If No One Will Listen, beautiful heartfelted song, the music is brilliant, I love the military-like drums.

    >>>My Top Five: Cry, Don’t Let Me Stop You, Impossible, Save You and Already Gone.
    >>>Stand-outs: Whyyawannabringmedown, If No One Will Listen, All I ever Wanted, Ready and Long Shot.
    >>>Disposable: I Want You.

    An overall strong album with many potential hit singles, I hope she would be able to pick some pop/rock songs and not waste all the singles in Katy Perry-ish songs. I would be happy if any of Cry, Don’t Let me Stop You, Save You, Impossible or even All I Ever Wanted become singles.

    Congrats Kelly!!!

  • SashaB

    MJ, thank you!

    YAY. Kelly’s album rocks. I love the snippets. Her vocals are out of this world. I am SO looking forward to this album. Go Kelly!

  • cheese

    Kelly sounds fantastic! I really liked Already Gone, Save You, Whyyawannabringmedown and I Want You (reminded me of Kate Nash or Lily Allen). I only listened to snippets. Based on those a lot of the others sounded similar in tempo and vibe and not as interesting, but I’ll wait to hear the whole songs.

  • SL

    It’s what I expected, but it’s still a good album. Very radio-ready. I’m loving ‘Already Gone’ like everyone else and I’m also digging ‘All I Ever Wanted’. It has a cool Lenny Kravitz vibe to it.

    ‘I want you’ sounds like a jingle for an iphone commercial.

    Thanks for posting the clips MJ!

  • Layla

    Nice songs…with the exception of Already Gone, the songs are quite generic.

    Not anything I would put on my Ipod.

  • primeminister

    Favorites:
    Already Gone
    Save You
    Long Shot- definitely the best of the Katy-Perry type songs
    Ready- LOVE this

    Just ok:
    Hook Up
    Cry- it’s more of a latter-half-of-the-album type of song
    All I Ever Wanted
    Whyyawannabringmedown
    I Want You- it does sound like a jingle!
    If No One Will Listen- from the “Thankful” era

    I won’t buy these:
    Don’t Let Me Stop You-
    Can’t Have You
    Impossible

  • hardkandy

    If I Canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t Have You is totally Ryan Tedder. Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a rockier version of Beyonceà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Haloà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

    The intro to Already Gone also sounds a lot like the intro to Halo. Also the underlying beat is very similar to Halo’s. Weird. But I like Halo so it’s all good haha.

    Save You and Already Gone are my favorites… =) Some of the rockier songs , she sounds a lot like Pink…I really much prefer her on pop/rock ballads.

  • http://www.myspace.com/swood1104 Sarah

    I really liked Already Gone, Save You, Whyyawannabringmedown and I Want You (reminded me of Kate Nash or Lily Allen). I only listened to snippets.

    I like “I Want You” too. It’s fun, and it totally didn’t hit me at first, but you’re right… it does sound like a song Kate Nash or Lily Allen would sing. Diversity is a good thing, methinks. :)

    I think those 4 you mentioned are my favorites too, from the snippets at least.

  • Tina1

    I like some of the songs, Already Gone is definitely a stand out. However, I just don’t get a big Kelly vibe from them. Someone mentioned that they heard a lot of other artists when listening to these songs, and I agree. That doesn’t mean that they’re not good songs, just not 100% her, imo. That’s my issue with ‘My Life Would Suck’ and I have the feeling the entire album is going to feel that way for me.

  • GeminiDolly

    Im loving Cry.

  • GeminiDolly

    I prefer Katys Hook up to Kellys, but I think Kellys Long Shot is much better than Katys.

  • http://thepopeye.blogspot.com BeckEye

    I love Kelly to death. I’m so glad she’s making a comeback, although I think it sucks that she had to because I liked her last album too. It was just different than this unabashedly Top 40 sound, which I guess a lot of people didn’t like. But, as they are so fond of saying on Idol, this girl could sing the phone book and it would be awesome.

    By the way, MJ, congrats on your mention in EW. Same grade as VFTW…impressive!

  • cdb1025

    SONGS ON REPEAT:
    If I Can’t Have You
    Long Shot

    Whyyouwannabringmedown

    GOOD HERE AND THERE SONGS:
    Cry
    All I Ever Wanted
    Save You
    Impossible
    I Want You

    SONGS I COULD DO WITHOUT:
    Ready
    If No One Will Listen
    Don’t Let Me Stop You

    I REALLY LOVE THE ALBUM…
    ITS AMAZING….

    I did download the leak…

    BUT

    already have both versions preordered….

  • geo4986

    I do have to say even though leaks ruin the suprise of the arrival of the album, this is amazing. I Love Don’t Let Me Stop You! Long Shot and Hook Up we amazing by the fukin katy perry but she rocks at them too.
