I'm really impressed by Kelly's single, and her cover of White Christmas! I'll definitely be buying it
I still think Leona will do better than the others though, I think KC will focus purely on the US for promo (maybe do a slot or two here, and possibly have her Xmas special air on Sky at some point)... but Leona will be focussing on the UK, and no doubt a lot of her fans from her Spirit era will be interested in this album.
I'm intrigued to hear what Leona's cooked up with Biffco, especially after hearing Kelly's single... I was NOT expecting that at all! (in a very good way aha)
Kelly will be coming over to the UK to promote the single and album at sometime in the near future (presumably around single/album release week). She usually does a good batch of promo whenever she's in the UK so hopefully that'll boost her xmas sales.
To the person who said Kelly doesn't sell a lot in the UK: her greatest hits album has sold over 155k to date. That's extremely impressive UK sales for a greatest hits album. Never underestimate the power of Kelly haha. There's more fans of hers out there than people think
I am a big fan of Kelly and Leona and I'm looking forward to both, however I do think Kelly could take it with the right promo! Her song is really good!!
The album is Motown influenced, inspired by Phil Spector.
The single will be an original, uptempo track.
The video is being shot in about weeks time.
The album contains original and covers.
O Holy Night is on the album.
She recorded I Wish It Could be Christmas Everyday, not confirmed for the album though,
She said she loves Winter Wonderland, so presumably that was a hint.
She confirmed an X Factor promo slot, no surprise.
Except now she shot the video on Saturday and Sunday there, so its now done. It really shouldn't be long until we hear the single now.
If Leona's album is even half as good as Kelly's I am going to be SUCH a happy boy this Christmas. I can't believe 2 of my favourite females are releasing Xmas albums on the same day haha, it's like PERFECT for me I'm like Christmas' biggest fan

I have listened to 10 tracks from Kelly's album so far, and love them all. I am really surprised at how great it actually is.
Isn't that a bit early for a Christmas chart? Or are there no albums released the week(s?) after?
no no, it's just that that week there are 4 Christmas albums being released on Dec 2nd - 3 of which could be potentially big (ish) sellers. I think MJB might chart lower than the others though...

I feel exactly the same, I love Kelly and Leona and so excited they're both doing the same thing and releasing them on my birthday too!!
Kelly's is great, I hope Leona brings it too. That will be a great Christmas!
Isn't that how its supposed to work, or are we so deeply indoctrinated by image, corporate money and hype we've turned our brains off and forgotten the point of music?
