Kelly needs to step out of beyonce’s shadow because she is not being acknowledged enough for her talent. Kelly when will you break away??? I hope Kelly is successful with her sophmore album, all the newbies have done better than kelly and kelly has been in the game with DC for 10 years. I wish her all the best though.

I CAN GET WITH MORE KELLY POSTS! I CANT WAIT FOR HER ALBUM! SHE GONNA SHUT SHIT DOWN!

Kelly and Michelle seem lost without Beyonce. They need to figure out what to do with themselves because Beyonce done rolled on through and left them two behind.

And Kelly sounds like a mexican to me. Every time I hear her on the radio, that is what I think. And Michelle just can’t damn sing at all. I feel bad for Kelly with her man backing out on her engagement though. Better to find out now Kelly, you won’t be sorry about it.

She also cited Brandy as an inspiration. I like how that was conveniently left out of the summary, lol. Anyway, I wasn’t inspressed with most Kelly’s stuff that was leaked, but I’m willing to give her a chance. She just needs the right team/set-up and some confidence…get from behind Beyonce’s shadow.

Aww man! Why did she go and say she was inspired by Beyonce and Whitney Houston songs? That is so corny. I really like Kelly, but saying that makes it seem like she is going to make a last ditch effort to make hers sound like Beyonce’s. Personally, I would really appreciate a smooth album right now without a bunch of party beats that I’m going to want to FF through when I’m in a chill mood. Ah well…I wish Lil Mo would drop another album.

Beyonce should have let Kelly have her moment before she decided take over again….Now Kelly has to compete with beyonce’s craziness (i mean music)…For some reason it seemed like kelly was set to reease her album, B wasn’t having it, and made in album in 2 WEEKS (wut a b*tch)

Poor Doll….

When Beyonce named her alter-ego Sasha…Kelly told 106 & Park that hers was ???? b/c she wanted it to rhyme with “Sasha”.

She always states that Beyonce is her sister and that they are connected at the hip…..or sumthing to that effect.

Well, she sees Bey out here doing it up with these fast tracks and now BAM—she wants to do them???? Be forreal, Beyonce heard he album and said “Bitch, give me them tracks as bonus ones! lol

She’s learning from India.Arie’s mistake.

GOOD FOR KELLY!…

I’LL BE WAITING FOR THAT CD!

i hope Mr. Knowles is not her manager. if he is im not expecting much..

GREAT move KELLY an all ballad album would really suck the life out of your career.you just need to get out and do some more CALLABO’S with different artist and beats/producers.I mean you and NELLY that was the jam
I hope this is what happens when THE POPULAR GIRL leaves the CLICK

can kelly be her own person for once and get ova DC already. you neva hear beyonce say she was inspired by her…she’s moved ON…
do the same HONEY !!

I hope this is NOT what happens when THE POPULAR GIRL leaves the CLICK?

I think every album should have a mix of ballads/mid tempos/ and most important to me CLUB BANGERS! I think shes right to rethink things…Looking forward to the new album…

As much as I like Kelly…she has become soo wack to me. I wish her best with her endeavors but she comes across as a second rate singer, who’s confused and unsure of who she is or what she wants. I’m sure their decision to go in a more uptempo direction was do in large part to all the negative response that she received on the music she leaked out along with people blaming her group/label mate/sister for not being equally successfully. Hopefully something good will come out of this new direction.

I don’t care how she wants her album to sound I just need her to hurry up and release that album. I’m sure she is gonna come with the hotness.

She can really be hot with some bangin producers and writers. I like her but she is still sniffing up under sweaty beyonce but thats a good move to make party records

I can’t remember if it was Ebony or Essence, maybe it was VIBE ..not really sure anywho..a few months back she did a interview in one of those mags with a photo spread and she said that song wasnt about Roy..it was about the guy she was with before him. Yall might can find it on the net somewhere.

kelly is preggos thats y know new pic they keep putting up old ones even at beys bday kelly had on that big ass off white dress like know one could tell did ashanti have her baby yet i heard a gurl prolly not true

She is not pregnant, She was at a red carpet event earlier this month and her stomach was flat. Cant remember what event but she had some grey jump off with grey tights underneath that every body hated apperantly.

PS THATS MY WIFEY.

Kelly has issues. She been out HOW LONG and finally (a couple of months or so) we see a picture of her REAL mama. I was wondering was she some love child of Matthews or something.

Kelly really needs to get over Beyonce, in all of her interviews it was, “Bee this…Bee that…Bee inspired me…” You don’t hear Beyonce saying that about Kelly. Kelly is just building someone elses kingdom instead of her own. Beyonce has been on her GRIND man, not studin’ Kelly…Kelly has become very passive over the past several months…

But all the same, I love Kelly and wish her THE BEST!!!

I love her so much. I will support her no matter what, thats what true friends and fans do. No matter what Kelly is always going to be compared to Beyonce because of DC connection. The song is the truth, it could have been a good single if it never got leaked.

#9 what was indiaarie’s mistake?
i just want kelly to hurry up with that album. I know she got potential to succeed without DC. i mean, if beyonce can do it, so can she, right? just seems she’ll have to forever compete with beyonce (well from the fans point of view anyways). kind of like letoya but in a difference sense.

@ 22 - I SAW A PIC OF KELLY’S MOTHER WITH HER AT THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS BACK IN 2001.

KELLY IS THE SHIT. SHE GOT SOME REAL TALENT. WITH THE WRITE SONG, SHE CAN BE HOTTER THAN THIS NO TALENT HAVING BITCHES TOPPING THE CHARTS NOW. I AGREE WITH ALOT OF YOU YHAT SAID SHE SEEM UNSURE OF WHO SHE IS. SHE BETTER LEARN SOON CUS IF THIS ALBUM DOESN’T GET GOOD REVIEWS, THERE AINT NO GOIN BACK INTO THE STUDIO AND REDOING SHIT. ITS A WRAP.

#1 YOU ARE SOOO RIGHT!!! I mean Who’s voice do you listen to?? Whitney and Beyonce? Who’s your favorite designer? BCBG and House of Dereon, i am like DAMN GIRL!!! If you had some shit ol’ girl isn’t running around with it (i.e. Your last LP, Freddy vs. Jason, YOur hex, you, her and jay-z weren’t photo’d together), slice off the damn apron strings and STEP UP!

she’s crazy! why did she let this song leak? u know what, i like kelly as much as the next person but im afraid she might end up like christina milian.

I think Kelly needs and album with a mixture of songs. I don’t think she has a great stage presence for uptempo songs. That was a really good single. I think she should stay true to herself and her own identity if she knows what that is. Not that Beyonce does not care but she has moved on. I hope Kelly does great but it still remains to be seen. How is Letoya’s album doing?

I hear Roy Williams is dating a radio personality in Dallas named Jade.

I think Kelly can do well if she has the right producers & writers. AND STOP LETTING SOLANGE WRITE HER MUSIC cuz solange is not a good writer. but kelly really has a good vocal range, her and bee have the same range c3-f6 (3.2 octaves) but kelly really needs to get on her grind and come up with some heat.

This truly saddens me. I really like Kelly, but I guess I understand her wanting to make sure her album is done ‘right’ and on too quickly (*cough cough* Beyonce *cough cough*) Still, I can’t wait to hear what she has to offer us!

I really wish her well. I hate to have to wait on her album even longer, but I’m glad she’s taking the time to really complete it, unlike “other” artists who knock them out in two weeks. Still can’t believe that one.

Sorry for the double post…Initially I got an *error* message and didn’t think it went through.

there are A LOT of celebs who are inspired by BRANDY yet people on here keep acting like she is nothing …..mmmmm that’s “food for thought”

Anyway….BRANDY….BEYONCE and WHITTNEY are three performers that she will never be like….unless she drop the management she has and stop playing games….until then I’m sorry for her

Kelly needs to get her “Letoya Luckett on”, be like fuck the Knowles’ i’m doing me. I’m so sick of her pissing and whining about Beyonce and them like she can’t do anything on her own. Matthew knows that she has more talent than her aforementioned bandmate, but her passiveness leaves her open to just accept whatever they say as the gospel. Once she gets her self-esteem together and stop acting so timid, we’ll see her star rise.

Whenever she releases her sophomore album, I certainly hope it’s better than “Simply Deep” because that was an atrocity.

I’m happy that she gave prop’s to brandy. Brandy and darckchild really created that contemporary R&B sound of the 90’s. DC definitly contributed to the style, but brandy had that down to a science. A lot of girls are inspired by her. Her albums have never dissapointed me. ever.

I like kelly, but confidence goes a long way and no matter what she does, her confidence level always seems a little low. She never sounds sure in her performances and it seems that so much of her identy is DC and being Bee’s girl. I think Kelly’s album should be honest and personal. I’m sure this girls got some stories to tell. I’m not interested in hearing club bangers from Kelly. Beyonce’s got those down to a science. I’d like to hear Kelly do something a little more mature. Something that reflects who she is as an individual.

kelly loves being in beyonces shadow.

she sucks her fucken pinky toe

its like damn do u…worry about u!

but i dont think she would get as much acceptance and love as beyonce because of her image and her style
if u kno what im saying

but i love love love the song.
she has potential…hopefully her album will actually drop and she reaches platinum in the us rather than abroad

Simply Deep wasn’t that bad. Just a lil boring but all in all it was a good album that I think ppl slept on. I think her first single “Stole” is what threw ppl off.

I just hope that she does not go in the same direction as Simply Deep. Because that album was HORRIBLE. Worst album I’ve ever listened to, imo. I taped that sucky up and took it back to wal-mart.

KELLY AND BEYONCE ARE LIKE SISTERS. REAL SISTERS DON’T DOWN GRADE EACH OTHER AND DON’T MIND TALKING ABOUT EACH OTHER. SERENA AND VENUS ALWAYS TALK ABOUT EACH OTHER IN INTERVIEWS BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

Yes, Kelly definitely needs to find her own style and step out of Bey’s shadow.

IS KELLY PREGNANT OR NOT?? IVE EVEN SEEN IT POSTED IN WHITE MAGAZINES. I FIGURED IF THET CARE THAT MUCH TO PRINT IT THEN IT MUST BE TRUE???

#36 Ditto. At first I was trying to respect the fact that she grew up with the Knowles and Beyonce and the friendship and all that, but at this point that girl is gettin’ played. Perhaps she doesn’t desire the limelight as much as Beyonce but whatever she desires it’s slow in coming because she doesn’t appear to have any situations lined up for the foreseeable future.

I’m going to have to agree with the others who said the best thing Kelly could do would be get out from under Knowles’ shadow and do her own thing.

I mean, even Janet Janet had to make a move and fire her dad as her manager when her career was fresh. It’s not like she has to be like “Fuck You Bitches! I’m out!” But it’s as clear as day that Kelly will never be a priority of Matthew’s, so she needs to move on and be around people that will make her a priority. Because Kelly is way too talented to be so slept on.

Kelly is not pregnant!!! She is just timmid and LOST!! I think Mattiew likes it that way because the Beyonce shines like he wants her to. If it weren’t for Kelly’s single off of her last album “Can’t Nobody do it like Me” then Beyonce wouldn’t have known who Rich Harrison is?!! No one can deny that Bey is pretty and can sing, but how much more can I take of seeing her and her mother? I USED to LIKE her but now I want her to just……

Has anyone ever noticed that “Be-yon-ce” and Go A-way rhyme and have the same amount of silibles? LOL!!

Is she even still under matthew knowles direction, I dont see him having anything to do creativly with her albums. That would be further proof that hes not backing the “rowland’ project like he should be.

Kellys my baby but she does seem like she cant function without beyonce and the group. always dropping her name I never here beyonce saying anything about kelly creatively. It might be the same deal as latoya like solo status was thrust apon her even though she never had plans to go solo and she doesnt really know what to do.

I must say dat kelly song is on replay, i really like da end wen she says she shouldnt have gone from a situation to da next, she still in love with her ex, das deep shit got me thinkin bout my girl n shit. its a nice song but we shoulnt compare her to be, kelly unlike bee isnt a soprano vocally…she can sing smooth music like letoya but wen she tries to hit high notes she sounds terrible and out of range. i am a singer myself so i know it, we studied dat in class today. she will do great if she has a hot or better yet three killa club bangers. i wish her da best she is a very real girl.

I’m off subject here, but Brandy’s last album ‘Afrodisiac’ was really slept on…when I was in Iraq it was on my constant music rotation.
I agree that Kelly needs to step away from the Knowles until she can find her own niche.

Her last album was good, I dont know how well it did but it was good, had everything in it.

Kelly need to quit. Seriously i know u got love for Ms. Beyonce but seriously chick don’t be throwing u no bones on ur solo effort. Chick gets enough publicity, we know u love her but DAMN at some point the name beyonce needs to stop coming out ur mouth. You can’t talk about nothing concerning urself without saying that girl’s name. I understand u feel like the knowles ur family and stuff but sweetheart u’re like their little pet or something.

Kelly’s such a beautiful and talented woman but honestly she is her own worst enemy. She so blinded by the knowles helped me and mama out that she can’t see that she deserves success as well, they got theirs and u got ur lil Destiny’s Child on but seriosly it’s time for Kelly to get hers. And she also need to find someone who has her best interest 1st. Cause to Matthew it’s probably beyonce, beyonce the actress (HA), destiny’s child, beyonce, solange, kelly and maybe michelle on sats.

Michelle though is like that kid that sneak out the house and do what they want and then come back like nothing happen. She go do her lil thing and don’t make a big deal about it.

Kelly is so damn beautiful to me!!! But I dont understand why yall getting all worked up because she mentioned Beyonce…..I mean arent they good friends?

I hope that her album does well….I wont bootleg that one….

SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL KELLY ROWLAND SHE IS BECOMING STALE IN THE NEWS AND WE ARE GETTING SICK OF HER SASYING EAXCH YEAR THAT AN ALBUM IS COMING OUT YOU ARE BECOMING THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE INDUSTRY

TAKE YOUR MONEY AND GO TRAVELING GIRL BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER RELEASE ANOTHER ALBUM LOLOLOLOLOLOL

‘OH, IM SORRY, MAYBE IN 2008…. IT GOT PUSHED BACK….’

DUMBASS

i sort of feel bad for Kelly. It seems she has no direction. She seems lost with Bey! She’s confused, she’ll never be beyonce, and beyonce can not be her, so she needs to start making her own way. One thing I give bey, she may be a copycat, but she slants the stuff that she steals in such a way to make it seem hers or original; kelly doesn’t seem to have that ability, she just seems too much of a follower, and without a leader she seems lost, like a lost child! I hope she get’s it together, but I’m buying her CD, crap or not because I believe she has the capability to be a good entertainer, she just needs that confidence..

Oh yeah, and to make things worse, kelly’s probably that girl that if you advised her to look out for herself and stop giving bey so much credit, she would probably break down and defend bey, for whatever reason…i don’t understand this..she fights harder for bey than bey fights for herself..it’s like kelly has no self-esteem and beyonce is her everything her world…but you can tell behind the scenes bey is probably all like “it’s you and me against the world kelly,” and then when the cameras are rolling, bey has nothing to say cause once again she don’t want anyone to think any type of negative about her, and heres kelly, fighting bey’s battles! Just sad:(

I co-sign what you know #52.

Kelly did this interview on MTV overdrive. She answers a lot of people questions that is posted on this site, you don’t have to wonder what she is doing or thinking she says it in the interview. I personally can’t wait for the album.

Kelly is her own strong woman, that’s all I am going to say.

#56…that’s what she did to BRANDY…i don’t know if ya’ll remember but Kelly and Beyonce weren’t speaking when Kelly did the Freddy vs. Jason movie …..Kelly went to the primere with Brandy and they were hanging out all the time after that and then it is RUMORED that BRANDY gave Kelly advice about her career basically telling her to find new management and all I have to say is now u don’t see them hanging out together AT ALL….lol lol and they have a mutural friend. (Serena Williams) but the three of them are never together….I think Kelly still has respect for Brandy …..of course!!!! but I think they had a major falling out over Brandy being HONEST and tellin her like it is……ONE DAY SHE’LL LEARN

To Mark #60

Man, I totally agree and I remember that, or at least I remember hearing those rumors. It’s like bey has some type of hold over kelly, i never seen nothing in my life like it, when kelly talks about bey, her face just glows! I wonder if kelly has any real sisters, and if so, does she admire them or express her love for them as much as she does for bey. I’m sure, not only Brandy has given her advice on her career, probably those closer to her has said the same. Mark my words this chick gone write a book one day, and by that time, no one’s gonna wanna hear it cause everybody’s gonna say, “told you so.” My mama said in her day, Diana Ross was compared to beyonce in her group, there wasn’t suppose to be a lead singer, but diana ross got all the attention, and none of the other members would say anything negative about diana while they were still together, so that they could just stay in the group and reap all the benefits, but, when the group broke up, and some years later, two other members spilled the beans and told about all the turmoil in the group, and how diana was sleeping with everyone, and getting all the attention, and she was encouraged to go solo. Diana even had a child with Barry Gordy or something to that effect….but i just believe poor little kelly’s gonna wake up when all the opportunities are over for her..like i said, i’m buying her cd, crap or not, cause she needs to know she’s as good as most of the major performers/singers out now.

I do support kelly and whatever happens with her. She really needs to step out of Beyonce’s shadow. I did not like the last album she brought out, but with the right writers and producers, she will be fine.

I really like her and her voice is beautiful. During their tour she had the best onstage presence and her voice was the strongest. It seems that some of you are trying to put her down and make negative things up about her just to try to persuade others to believe the same thing. And of course most of you are Beyonce fans.

When it was her time to perform her solos, the crowd went crazy. Better acceptance than Michelle and Beyonce’s. I do admit that she should leave the camp but she’ll do that on her own you know. I prefer her voice over the others any day. And Brandy’s Full Moon and Afrodisiac are two of the best R&B albums ever!

Kelly is disappointing as a solo artist! I don’t even know if I think she still has potential… That music that leaked sucked ass, and her vocals are weak to me… She makes poor song choices, and seems too content to exist only in Beyonce’s shadow…
She has a lot to prove! If she falls short on this one it’s over for her!

JSCENE kelly is the the only child which would explain alot. I love me some kelly seroiusly.

That hurts my heart becuase I know she has low self asteemed

To 65# hdizzle

Oh, i didn’t know she was an only child, oh well, that does explain things then.

I love Kelly I cant for that album to drop.

JSCENE, YEAH BIGUPS TO YOUR MOM FOR TELLIN IT LIKE IT WAS, DIANA DID HAVE A BABY BY BARRY GORDY AND DID SLEEP WITH A LOT OF THE MOTOWN ACTS ETC, WHY WAS IT NO ONE EVER SAW HER PREGNANT BUT SHE HAS ALL THESE DAMN BABIES, SHAME IS IT??

BUT ANYWAY I FEEL KELLY HAS A BETTER VOICE THAN BEYONCE I CANT TAKE IT WHEN BEY GETS TO SCREAMING AND IT DONT SOUND NICE AT ALL. KELLY NEEDS PROFESSIONAL HELP BECAUSE SOMTHING ABOUT HER ISNT HEALTHY, WHAT DOES KELLY HAVE, BEYONCE? CANT EVEN SAY THAT BECAUSE BEYONCE DONT EVEN HAVE BEYONCE SHE’S SO BUSY BEING CONTROLLED BY THE KNOWLES CLAN AND HER HEAD IS SO FAR UP JAY-Z ASS SHE CANT EVEN SEE STR8 TO BE HERSELF, WHICH I THINK WOULD BE A REALLY NICE GIRL BUT I CANT TAKE ALL THE FAKESNESS AND THE ROBOTIC PERSONA THAT IS BEYONCE, KELLY NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF KELLY BECAUSE BEY IS TAKING CARE OF BEY AND JAY

SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT MICHELLE BUT HER GOSPEL PROJECTS HAVE BEEN SUCESSFUL, SHE HAS HER OWN AWARDS TO SHOW OFF AWAY FROM THE DESTINY’S CHILD PROJECTS THATS WHATS UP!

C’mon Kelly…you can do it…If Letoya can debut at number 1, so can you…as a matter of fact I will have our daddy buy 100,000 copies of your album in the first week just like he did with mine…

JSCENE and HDIZZLE, what does that mean, “Shes an only child so that explains a lot??” That doesnt explain anything. How can you say you KNOW she has low self esteem??? You dont sound like you know what your talking about. Just because she sticks behind a good friend and speaks well about her, makes her comfortable to be in Bey shadow?? Has anyone ever thought that maybe she wants to go at her own pace. Not everyone can be jumpin on stage day after day, year after year. Maybe she doesnt want to get burned out. Everyone has their own way of doing things, maybe hers is going at her own pace.

Please oh please hurry and drop something.. beyonce is talented and beautiful but over-rated and getting on my nerves.. we need somebody to knock her off the charts.. maybe Janet?

I like all of the mid tempo ballads that I have heard from her album… I hope that she does step out of Beyonce’s shadow because that is where she is going to lose people. I am a HUGE Kelly Rowland fan and I really want her sophmore album to go at least platinum.

KELLY I HOPE YOUR CD SELLS MORE THAN BITCHYONCE’S!!IF IT DOESN’T,YOU CAN ALWAYS WRITE A TELL ALL BOOK ON YOUR GIRL…SURELY TO BE A BEST SELLER! AND THAT’S A GOOD LOOK,YOU DON’T NEED ALL THAT WEAVE.POOR MICHELLE WITH THAT DAMN RED LIPSTICK(AIN’T FOR EVERYBODY)SHE NEEDS A MAKEOVER…BAD!!!!

Kelly needs to stop lying. Her album got pushed back because of the negative feedback.

#70 RASTAJAY You know how I can say that Because I know what it looks like. Just becuese shes famous doesnt mean it will manifest itself in a different manner. Low self esteem ad dependency is low self esteem and dependency. People go through this everyday. shes just going throught it publicly. It is my opiinion

You can tell in interviews that she is not comfortable in the lime light. Name some interviews where beyonce hs mentioned kelly as an isnperation outside of destinys child forum as a group Then name how many interviews where kelly swoons over beyonce. Thats my boo I love her to death but she has low self asteem. I wish her the best becuase she has the it factor. Its just Be’s parents have molded and shaped her to prepare for a solo career, and haavent done the same for kelly.

Bee is her girl but her family is not backing her like she needs to be backed and she needs to o this for her slef becuase like some one else said be aint thinking about her career wise
