Oh shoot, I forgot to add Standing in Front of You….that’s five favorites…I mean really though I could list the whole album, so…
October 24, 2011 at 4:35 pm |
You love me, honestly, the war is over, dark side!!!!! Oh and YOU CAN’T WIN! love it!…. You know… I like them all! I thought darkside was AMAZING live at the troubadour though so I think that’s gunna be my favorite on tour!
October 24, 2011 at 4:35 pm |
Honestly, Dark Side, What Doesn’t Kill You!
October 24, 2011 at 4:36 pm |
Ahh.. so hard to pick one..so i’m going to pick a couple Why don’t you try (deluxe), you love me and what doesn’t kill you (stronger) probably my top favs but seriously all are good!!!!:)
October 24, 2011 at 4:37 pm |
What doesn’t kill you, Mr. know it all, Dark side and You can´t win. THIS ALBUM IS GREAT!!!
October 24, 2011 at 4:37 pm |
Mine is a tie between Darkside and You Love me. I also love The sun Will Rise from the Smoakstack sessions. So good.
October 24, 2011 at 4:37 pm |
I have 18 favourites but I’ll pick ‘The Sun Will Rise, Hello, & You can’t Win as the stand outs so far!!!!
October 24, 2011 at 4:37 pm |
Snap jill !!!!
The whole album is awesome KC and everyone who’s worked on it has done an amazing job !!! And it just gets me excited for the tour
October 24, 2011 at 4:37 pm |
Brought the album whilst sat at work today and SO glad i did 🙂 never been disapointed yet by Kellys albums. So far my fave is I Forgive You, very relevent for my current world and an epic sing along tune!! So whens the tour coming to the UK? 😉 will be the 3rd time seeing you all and this time i have a list of names wanting to come along to! Xx
October 24, 2011 at 4:37 pm |
I downloaded it from iTunes on Friday morning (midnight haha) and ran to a HMV store and bought a physical copy at 9am 🙂 Just waiting for the Smokestack Sessions EP to arrive and my collection will be complete.
Fav’ tracks at the moment are ‘Standing In Front of You’ and ‘Alone’.
October 24, 2011 at 4:38 pm |
Aloooooooooooooooooooooooone but they’re all perfection!!!
October 24, 2011 at 4:38 pm |
I have three too. The Sun Will Rise, Standing In Front of You and The War Is Over. (I’m gonna change my mind the second I post this comment, soooo hard to choose! They’re all sooo GOOD!!)
October 24, 2011 at 4:39 pm |
Breaking Your Own Heart 🙂
October 24, 2011 at 4:40 pm |
What Doesn’t Kill You, Darkside, Eistein, Let Me Down, Standing in Front of You (OK! The whole thing!! Gosh!)
October 24, 2011 at 4:40 pm |
Einstein!!!… Closely followed by The War is Over ❤ or all of them…. X
October 24, 2011 at 4:43 pm |
1. Breaking your own heart
2. Dark side
3 I forgive you
Honorable mention
Don’t be a girl about it 😉 Gotta love it!
October 24, 2011 at 4:45 pm |
Has to be What Doesn’t Kill You, I Forgive You and The War is Over. It’s not easy just picking one, you CAN’T.
October 24, 2011 at 4:47 pm |
i have a few….you love me, you can’t win, i forgive you, and what doesn’t kill you 🙂
October 24, 2011 at 4:49 pm |
So hard to pick just a few favs but I also LOVE ‘You love me’. Im actually listening to it this very moment! I dare anyone to listen to it while being completely still. HaHa. Close second is ‘Honestly’. The lyrics to this song are totally how I feel about life. I have come to realize not everyone is going to be your biggest fan In real life and thats fine but just dont BS me. Tell me how you feel. And of course KC sings it with amazing vulnerability.
October 24, 2011 at 4:51 pm |
I downloaded from iTunes (standard) and pre-ordered Stronger Deluxe CD + The Smoakstack Sessions EP from the official site!
Oh, how can I choose amongst all those great KC tracks?! Actually, I haven’t heard them all yet, since my package hasn’t arrived yet. Based on what I’ve listened to, so far, it *might* be You Love Me and You Can’t Win.
Well, by you two revealing your favorite(s), you’ve already addressed what I was going to ask for TBT, if it happened!
October 24, 2011 at 5:47 pm |
And, see I’ve already been thinking I should’ve included some others too, like Dark Side and Let Me Down. It’s too tough to pick for sure, and as I mentioned, there’s still more in store for me!
October 24, 2011 at 4:51 pm |
to be honest, this whole album is so solid from beginning to end. this will be one where my favorites will constantly change. can’t wait to hear em on tour!!
October 24, 2011 at 4:53 pm |
I hate picking favorites because they usually change like every time I listen to an album where I truly like every song but right now I would say Breaking Your Own Heart and Standing In Front of You!
October 24, 2011 at 4:53 pm |
What Doesn’t Kill You, Let Me Down and The War Is Over
October 24, 2011 at 4:55 pm |
You can’t win is my favorite!!!! But whole album is brilliant!!!!!
October 24, 2011 at 4:58 pm |
This is so hard, but I would choose What Doesn’t Kill You, and Darkside as of right now, I’m sure my answer will change so many times!
October 24, 2011 at 4:58 pm |
the war is over. you love me. and honestly. but i can’t get over how amazing the whole album is 🙂
October 24, 2011 at 4:59 pm |
I love it, cool song. Jill and you are still better songwriters by far. h
October 24, 2011 at 4:59 pm |
You love me, darkside, what doesn’t kill you
October 24, 2011 at 5:03 pm |
You love me and the war is over! But seriously wen has there been an album in the last year that has been this spectacular from start to finish??? I’m obsessed!
October 24, 2011 at 5:03 pm |

October 24, 2011 at 5:16 pm |
Can’t get enough of Honestly & The War is Over. The whole album is awesome, can’t wait for a tour.

Honestly! Honestly! Honestly! I looove this song! And Alone And You Love Me;)
October 24, 2011 at 5:23 pm |
Y’all, this album is amazing! Seriously, picking a favorite is near impossible! So, first impression faves: You Love Me, Dark Side, I Forgive You and The War Is Over.
But really, our girl, sounds fantastic! And I cannot wait to hear y’all live with this new material. Stronger tour, the best yet! 🙂

Let Me Down is my queen latifah head bob song. i can get into it a lot!

October 24, 2011 at 7:41 pm |
So hard to chose. But I have to go with What Doesn’t Kill You. Can’t get it out of my head. Plus love the sassy-ness of Don’t Be a Girl About it.
October 24, 2011 at 8:39 pm |
The waaar is overrr
October 24, 2011 at 9:01 pm |
“I Know You Won’t”, oh wait………haha.
1. “You Love Me”
2. “Hello”
3. “Standing In Front Of You”….why does this song remind me of The Carpenters? Maybe, I’m crazy?
Kelly must be very happy with the album! Pop perfection.
You all should have a fun time touring.
Looking forward to your album, also.
October 24, 2011 at 9:09 pm |
The whole thing is ahhmazing!!! Kelly could sing the McDonald’s menu, and I would love it!!!
October 24, 2011 at 10:03 pm |
You Love Me and The War Is Over. Breaking Your Own Heart should be mentioned too.
October 24, 2011 at 10:25 pm |
I am listening to it now.. I love it! She sounds absolutely amazing!! Im not sure about favorites yet.. I like them all!! Right now The Sun Will Rise is on, awesome!! The Dark Side is another great one!! You Love Me is great too. So I guess they are my favorites so far!! It is a great CD!! I love her and I love the two of you!!!!!!

October 24, 2011 at 11:49 pm |
I saw Kelly and you all at the Troubadour show and loooved Dark Side. I also love The Sun Will Rise and Breaking Your Own Heart.
October 24, 2011 at 11:49 pm |
Oh, and The War is Over.
October 25, 2011 at 2:28 am |
Dark Side and Honestly. I think that there should be a remix of Dark Side-it would be amazing! and Honestly should be a single, I love it!!!!
October 25, 2011 at 5:22 am |
Such a great album! I love “The Sun Will Rise” but really the whole thing is pretty amazing!
October 25, 2011 at 6:40 am |

October 25, 2011 at 11:26 am |
I’m just so in love with I Forgive You & You Can’t Win. But love every single one!!
October 25, 2011 at 3:35 pm |
the sun will rise!:)
October 25, 2011 at 4:38 pm |
My top 3:
1. The War Is Over.
–> favorite line: “Now you wish you really had known me.. All I have to say is that you don’t deserve me, you don’t deserve me. I’m finally walking away, cuz you only hurt me.. And you’re not worthy.”
* i love the message behind this song favorite line: “You said I’m not good enough, I’m not good enough.. but what you really mean is you’re not good enough, you’re not good enough.”
(took me a long time to realize that it’s not me who isn’t good enough, it’s the ones who say I’m not that aren’t.. and this song opened my eyes more to that concept. This is why I love her music).
3. Standing In Front Of You
–> favorite line: The chorus is by far my favorite part of the song but this line is simply the truth..
Watching the rain today, even though it’s clear and sunny
And you fight it so hard, how to tell if it’s real or not.
this one definitely suites my life right now. this song is beautifully written and her vocals are so sincere. absolutely love it.
definitely hard to pick the top 3 because theres a few others that are right up there for me. sheesh. haha
October 25, 2011 at 6:14 pm |
My fav songs are What doesn’t kill you (Stronger), the sun will rise, Einstin, alone, standing on front of you, and Dark side.
October 25, 2011 at 10:00 pm |
My favorite songs are What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger) ,The Sun Will Rise,Darkside, The War is Over there might be more…It’s a great album!
October 25, 2011 at 10:39 pm |
You Love Me is my fav. Darkside and Standing In front of You are also good.
October 26, 2011 at 5:18 am |
Today’s top 5 for me:
1. Why don’t you try. Holy Guacamole. Thank God for this song. And Eric H. for writing. And KC for singing her socks off. Heartwrenching ridiculously good.
2. Dark side….
3. What doesn’t kill you (Stronger)….I love jumping around in the living room on this one.
4. The Bonnie Raitt cover on the EP…KC nails it for me, and I love Bonnie Raitt.
5. Honestly
Just wondering how on earth she hits those high notes….
Wish you & your KC road family a wonderful touring year. Take care & enjoy.
October 26, 2011 at 9:51 am |
HARD question… I love all the songs. But (as I’m extremely cool) I’m gonna answer your question. Ahah
My favorite songs are:
“You Love Me”,
“Let Me Down”,
“You Can’t Win”,
“The War Is Over”… and “The Sun Will Rise”.
Excellent album. So excited to finally have it on my iPod. 🙂
October 26, 2011 at 10:44 am |
My top 5 for today:
1. Why don’t you try….my permanent nr 1…..Amazing with the capital A.
2. Dark side
3. What doesn’t kill you (Stronger)
4. I can’t make you love me (Bonnie Raitt)
5. Honestly
(my previous post didn’t get through moderation…apologies…I didn’t mean to be offensive….just wanted to say I really really really like these songs)
I wish you and your KC road family a great tour. Take care & enjoy 🙂
October 26, 2011 at 1:47 pm |
Oh! I just saw this now, but it makes me super, super happy that your favorite songs are mine also! I absolutely adore You Love Me. Legit have had it stuck in my head for the past few days. It’s funny too because I can totally, like, workout in my head where your backup vocals will be for the live version. Life of a JillandKate fan: I pretend I sing backup for Kelly too. Whoop! Haha. I’m like harmonizing and stuff. It’s been beautiful – my neighbors love it. Really.
October 26, 2011 at 1:58 pm |
I love the whole album! It is seriously awesome. I can’t pick a favorite yet, but I’ll give you a top 5 of the moment lol. You Love Me, Hello, What Doesn’t Kill You, You Can’t Win, and Standing In Front Of You. 🙂
October 26, 2011 at 9:37 pm |
“Honestly”, “The Sun Will Rise”, “Breaking Your Own Heart”… I too love the whole album but those three songs are amazing.
October 27, 2011 at 2:46 am |
I love them all, so it’s difficult to choose, but ‘Don’t be a girl about it’ is my favorite because it’s the first song I’ve found that perfectly sums up my ex. 🙂
October 29, 2011 at 9:34 am |
dark side, honestly, the sun will rise, you love me., what doesn’t kill you, why don’t you try…I could keep going.
HEY. Got a request. On tour…during “you love me” when she sings the “you can’t handle this” part…can you guys please make it a mashup and one of you sing “kelly, can you handle this” and then break into i dont think you’re ready for this jelly. it would be pretty awesome.
November 1, 2011 at 8:20 am |
I’m loving Einstein and Honestly at the minute 😀
This album (and the bonus EP) are amazing. I cant believe i’ve lived without these songs.
Kelly’s music is the soundtrack to my life ! I cant wait to see these songs performed live 😀
November 3, 2011 at 12:51 am |
Okay I’m so behind on this bandwagon! I’m just catching up on the blog 🙂
I *did*, however, buy the album on Oct.24th- hardcopy and digital! I am with Jill… Stronger is wayyy too good to choose one favourite!
Top 3: The War Is Over, What Doesn’t Kill You, Let Me Down
(But seriously, I’m pretty much in love with the entire thing. Even “Einstein” which you have to laugh at a little but it’s so damn catchy and musically brilliant)
November 8, 2011 at 9:19 am |
Ya, like everyone says – cant pick 1 favourite.. but the ones that rise to the top are: You Love Me, What Doesnt Kill You, Let Me Down. On the Smoakstack Sessions EP, the repeat button is set on the “If I Cant Have You”… SOOOOO brilliant and just an awesome deviation from the original one that was All I Ever Wanted!
Whats your fave song from the Smoakstack Sessions??
November 11, 2011 at 5:17 pm |
it took me a long time to answer this and I still don’t know.. Cause I really, honestly think the whole album is just soooo perfect!
I like each and every damn song on this amazing album!
Can’t wait for yours, girls!
xoxo
November 12, 2011 at 5:01 pm |
don’t be a girl about it !!
breaking your own heart aaaww
November 20, 2011 at 5:27 pm |
Why Don’t You Try
War Is Over
Einstein
Plus, Smoakstack Sessions is totally awesome. I love this version of If I Can’t Have You and the Bonnie Raitt cover.
And You Love Me on this EP might be the best production of a Kelly Clarkson song released so far, imho.
