RUMOR: KELLY ROWLAND’S ALBUM PUSHED BACK BECAUSE OF SOLANGE?
Thursday, February 15, 2007

Will Kelly Rowland’s album ever be released? That’s the question we all have been asking for the past year and a half. First, it was pushed back so Beyonce could release the garbage that was “B’Day” and now I hear it’s going to be pushed back for Solange’s wack-ass debut album.
Brownsista.com is reporting,
Kelly’s album is once again being pushed back but this time to make room for the re-release of Solange’s “Solo Star” which is due to hit stores in April. Some speculated that a new single and album would be imminent after Columbia posted a link to a single on their site but the link is now gone as is any official date as to when Kelly’s album may actually be coming out.
ARE THEY SERIOUS?
They are re-releasing Solo-Star? Papa Knowles is one ruthless m’fer. Give Kelly her shine time, dammit!

If she feels she not being treated fairly, she should seek other management and another record company.
The problem is, there are not a whole lot of record leaves, where is she going to go?

OH THAT’S A BUNCH OF B.S. WTF ARE THEY RE-RELEASING THAT TRASH (SOLO STAR) FOR?? NOBODY BOUGHT THAT GARBAGE THE FIRST TIME AROUND…AND THEN THEY COULDN’T EVEN GIVE SOME NEW MATERIAL??
KELLY IS A FOOL! SHAME ON HER…WHEN IS SHE GONNA STEP UP AND START MAKING DECISIONS THAT ARE IN “HER” BEST INTEREST??!!

She probably feels obligated to that publicity whoring family. They are all for themselves. She needs to break camp for real.

^^^^ OOpps..
If she feels she not being treated fairly, she should seek other management and another record company.
The problem is, there are not a whole lot of record executives and record companies trying to get at Kelly. So if she leaves, where is she going to go?

Yall already know Kelly feels indebted to the Knowles family! Thus is why she is consistently allowing herself to be PUT in the back seat! Kelly is a much brighter star than Solange will EVA be, but as long as she’s their puppet, that’s what she’ll get!
I’m feel so badly for her but hey, that’s the price you pay when you’re in show business. Some folx still sell their soul for a “jelly roll!” Sad, but true!
Kelly is STILL the prettiest!

who the hell cares about solange all she is known for is for having Daniel. She needs to just be content on being a mom and working at house of doom. and i also remember that album flopping, why would they waste precious CDs for her untalented ass. unless she can sound better then b, dance better then b, and work the business like b,then she needs to give it up

Now, y’all know Kelly ain’t going nowhere!! She’s that simple!!
Matthew may have renegotiated those DC contracts to keep them obligated for a long time, after Toya, Tavia, and Farrah jumped ship and started speaking out against them.

Solo Star was re-released in like December or something… where is this coming from? It had a song with Beyonce on there and they had this big deal about it in Walmart!
This sounds like a bunch of bullshe-it anyway, why would they RE-release a 3 year old album that only sold 60,000 copies the FIRST time unless they are trying to get her out of a contract that required a certain number of albums and the re-release would count as another one since she don’t have enough songs to put out a “hits” album.
This sounds bogus to me. But Kelly DOES need to get a clue and fire Matthew Knowles - cause he don’t even care about Solange apparently.
I ASSURE you that if he was managing Jennifer Hudson, she wouldn’t get 1/4 of the recognition she’s getting.

Ok, I never heard the Solo Star the first time around, but I never actually pictured Solange as a super star….but whatever! This is so messed up…Kelly should get her time & forget being loyal…Family is one thing, but business is totally different situation…Girl you needs to be getting your paper…

Kelly is just stupid to not speak up and get her star shined. Bet when she reach 30 she is going to have to brighten up. Remember Toya was like “my mama was driving a honds” (something average) sad

It wouldn’t surprise me a bit, but Kelly has always been content to live in the Knowles shadow so, if she likes it I love it… I hope she will have more success with this one cuz I really think she deserves to have some shine on her own.

Solange’s cd was trash the first time around and will be trash this time… Matt just can’t accept the fact that no matter what they do Solange will never have the success that Bey has had, get over it!!!

Kelly really needs to wake up and realize the Knowles sisters will always be a priority to Matthew. I know they have done a lot for her but she is a grown woman and business is business. I heard she went back in the studio to record some upbeat tracks but how long could that take? Do they really have to play her to the left, to the left? I purchased Solange’s first CD. It wasn’t terrible but it was bubble gum. She was a lot younger at the time but now that she’s a mother and supposedly married, i’m hoping she will have some decent material this time. I can’t wait to see how thie plays out with the sisters competing because I doubt Beyonce will step aside to let her sister shine.

Solonge need to keep her fast ass home with her fake husband and baby and keep playing house. they must need money cuz dude ain’t in the nfl yet and probably will never be. her nasty lil fast ass, she don’t need no album she need to go to college and get a stable career, cuz she ain’t pretty, or sexy and her voice has nothing unique about it so she needs a proffesional job. damn i’m so mad they doing this to my Kells forreal. GET WIT A NEW LABEL KELL!!

I adore Kelly but if she wants to continue to be a follower all her life then thats where she need to be.
She is a grown azz woman she does not need the Knowles family to hold her hand all through life she can be in the family without the family being in charge of her life They making her look real brand new I guess she has not matured mentally.

This is crazy! Re-release Solo Star? Hell naw!!! I wouldn’t be surprise if Kelley just wanted jump to a another label and right before her album release did some tell-all interviews and disclose the attiudes and views about that the Knowles family.
You see were all that hating got Beyonce on J Hud………just more limelight for the girl! Karma is a bitch!

Kelly was a fool for staying when the other girls left, and she’s a fool now! Her staying in DC just further solidified Beyonce as a star. Now, her ass is left in the dust. This is such a shame!

This is just a rumor. Probably not even true. The Beyonce hating must stop. Some people think B’Day was garbage, but the 2 million or so people who have bought it obviously don’t think it’s garbage. Females are so quick to hate on someone they wish they were. No one knows anyone in the Knowles family so you can’t say that they are “full of themselves”.

and what is the connection anyway? they from two differnt label. Solange is not with colombia she iswith music world i guess they gropped her or something but that is what her myspace says: music wrld as label. and i heard on one kelly’s fansites that one new song was played on the radio. i do not know exactly where in the U.S. i hope matthew is not doing this because he will pay for it.

She must have so much anger brewing inside right now… If or when it boils over - I hope it boils into a hot ass album that will be out sometime this decade. *sigh*

OMG…Kelly please wake up?? She must’ve sold her sole to the Knowles devil cuz if this is true, I can’t understand why she’s still with them?? They dogging and pimping the hell out of her and she still be just cheesin like she ain’t the one looking dumb.
And as far as Solange is concerned…who the f/k wanna buy her CD? Can she sing? I ain’t neva heard her sing nothing, be a guest on nothing. Just be all up in DC pics like she was a group member…! Damn the Knowles’. Kelly betta wake her ass up!!

I dont believe this at all, no fool would re-release an album that came so long ago….and it wasn’t even that good. Th only song worth listening to was a damn callabo with Beyonce’. I feel for Kelly because she ACTUALLY has a fanbase who is ready to hear new music from her. I can’t say the same for Solange.

Kelly just need to get that pen and pad ready and write that tell all book. Because that’s where she’s going to make major bucks. Im sure she have so much juicy information on the Knowles family it’s riduculous. It would smart for her to wait another ten years though. It’s only so much Kelly probably could take, she’s going to get really pissed off with them one day. That book will be a guaranteed best seller.
I would buy.

@ 46 you have a valid point but knowing that her name is beyonce’ it would sell because she is infested in everybodys mind that you can’t get enough of her but i didn’t even buy bday just downloaded it i don’t it was all that good.But I got to say DIL was quality music to me..But i hope Kelly finds the strength to move on because he is obviously pulling her back Kelly if you want to be your own woman and get out of Beyonce’s shadow move on to something new for you because its not working..

Let’s be serious about this.
If Kelly’s album was even HALFWAY hot and had potential to do good, they would drop it.
It’s pathetic that it’s been 1-2 years and she still doesn’t have a product ready that’ll get good reviews. The reviews at her album release last fall were something like 1.5-2/5 ratings.
HORRIBLE. Kelly.. step your damn game up! I like you, but this is pathetic. Get on your shit!

Kelly needs to breakaway! Damn, I have been waiting to get that album forever, and now its being pushed back again! I don’t blame Solange or Bey, it’s their damn father who is fucking up! He is so fucking low, it is amazing how 2 beautiful women can come from an ugly man like him. Beyonce needs a wake up call too. I love Bey, but she needs to leave her father, because this fucker is doing more harm than good. Anf=d why are they re-releasing SOLO STAR? That album is four years old! Damn you, Daddy Knowles…

Yall still think that doin the “GOOD” thing?

Ok for starters I’m a huge Beyonce stan…
However, Kelly needs to break away. I know that the Knowles clan is her comfort zone but to be taken seiously she needs to get out of Bey’s shadow.
Get new management and writing teams. Simply Deep was actually a good album to me but she is too talented to play second fiddle. This is probably hyped up as far as the solang issue but Kelly has been held back for whatever reason.
She doesn’t seem to have the spark that Beyonce does but we will never know until she can stand on her own.
P.S. Aren’t publications supposed to be objective when it comes to news. Concreteloop.com needs a spank on the hand for the biased opinion that Beyonce’s album is garbage. News is meant to inform more than influence…but I guess this isn’t CNN…haha

I think you’re the one that needs to shut up. You don’t know them so how can you say they’re ruthless, selfish, crazy and money hungry? Your comments revealed your ignorance pretty well. Congratulations on that. No one cares about the people who didn’t buy it. If you don’t like Beyonce, don’t talk about her. You’re wasting your time. It’s that simple. No one is forcing you to say anything.

SHE NEED TO WORRY BOUT THAT “SEX TAPE” HER DONOR I MEAN HUSBAND IS ON WITH CONTLESS WOMEN.
IM NOT GOING TO SAY THAT SOLANGE IS TALENTLESS I’LL JUST SAY THAT I HAVE YET TO SEE THEM.

To be honest Kelly knows that this is just wrong, and I think she is slowly waking up, but I m sure is hard to just up and leave. She has been with Matthew since she was a young girl. So, making a new management move is risky. She dosen’t want to meet someone that will not take care of her,or tries to take advantage of her. However, somethings going to happen for her, or she is going to end up singing old Destiny’s Child songs in a casinoe. I mean she had already gotten a new publicist- for the simple reason that she felt the publicist would b under too much pressure being that she was busy with other artists ie Beyonce. So, its only a matter of time before Kelly makes it happen or else she will be a has-been. Kelly you are way to talented and beautiful to ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.

i think she is staying because she doesnt want hard feelings.. but she needs to do something about it. i think solonge can sing, but kelly has been waiting forever it seems like. all solo has to do is say “daddy i want a cd” but kelly is different and it isnt fair IMO
DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW KELLY’S FIRST CD DID???

Yeah, if you check out Kelly and Solange’s Myspace pages, you can see that the album was already re-released and her new album is to drop in like April. No official word on Kelly’s album though. They are just trying to build up a little buzz for Solange before the new album. I’ll admit that the album is too old (and bubble gum) to be trying to use as promo, but what can you do, right? I also think that Kelly is just taking a long time to record her sophomore album. She already had to go back into the studio like twice. I would like to Bey chaos to slow down a bit before Kelly drops though. Can’t have all THAT much pushed up in our faces at once.

THE THINGS THAT THEY DO ARE EVIDENT ENOUGH.
SO SWEETIE YOU GO IN EDUACATE URSELF ON THE KNOWLES MIS MANAGMENT SKILLS AND HOW THEY TREAT THEIR EMPLOYEES.

Its no ones fault but Kelly’s that she wont
A. Switch Labels
OR
B. Switch managers.
Its obvious by now. Or atleast it should be that she is content with the way Matthew is doing things. He has made her a lot of money over the years with his brilliant business moves. So I dont think she ready to give up all that just becuz “We the people dont approve of his strategies”. Im pretty sure he know what he doing.
Kelly keep enjoying your life, and supporting your family the KNOWLES they have been very good to you in your life. And im sure ya’ll share a bond that internet haterz could never understand.
