I mean king is ok I guess, but why isn’t she on the cover of Ebony and Essence. I love MJB and Beyonce, but I would like to know more about Kelly! DAMN!! LOL!

Go Kelly!

I hope she gets some dope songs on her album. She looks good! Hope her album got pushed back so they could add some fiyah to it!

Get em, Ms. Kelly. She looks real nice.

I guess…

she is so pretty to me.and has the voice to go along with it……..i just wish she would switch to a manager and label that really cares whether her cds flop or not

Kelly is the shit now.cant nobody touch her.

Yeah, yeah…good for her. I still don’t think her CD is gonna do shit. I’on care what cover she’s on. As long as she got them shisty ass mofo’s controlling her career, she ain’t gone neva “bey” where she deserves to be…

@6
You are right Kelly is SHIT!

Hmm,funny LeToya did the Wet Issue too.She looks good though.I hope she does well.

Thats right she deserves it! thats my girl! I hope her album does great!!!

GO KELLY!! Cant wait for your album to drop! I’m hoping for at least 400,000 first week! Get it shawty!

I like the Bleu cover better

Kelly bores me…there’s nothing exciting about her. She tries too hard. If you ain’t got it, you ain’t got it. Don’t blame her mgrs, she just don’t have that appeal…

her legs do look great tho…

Ummm, I must be out the loop. What is Bleu Mag, when did they launch and why are they linked to a Myspace page? Dang Kells. It’s like that? King and Bleu? That’s really not saying much for your “star power.”

better than flabby B anyday

I LOVE HER BECAUSE SHE IS A DARK BEAUTY, NOT MIXED THIS IS WHY I LOVEEEEEEE KELLY ROWLAND

HATE The King cover.

The Bleu cover is beautiful.

She’s such a sweet person, too bad she sucks as a solo artist.

I really wish her all the best, but I feel she just doesn’t have the mystique or manager to become huge.
Besides, she’s such a loyal one to “that” clan–if she doesn’t rise, it is her own fault.
I mean c’mon–these magazines are really cheesy.
The radio station interviews are 2nd rate.
Unless she drops that tyrant of a manager, she’s doomed.

SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!! BEST WISHES ON HER ALBUM!!!

#4.. I agree.. the King cover looks like her head has been added to someone else’s body that looks shades darker than her face.. and those eyebrows!!!I don’t think it’s a good pic of her.. she’s ok.. the other cover is ok..nothing special..

I used to root for her but I just don’t think she has the drive to do it on her own.. if she did, she would be “shining” now… not impressed with Like This..

OK — Found my answer….

about bleu.

Here we are. Bleu. A quarterly magazine focused on delivering to the world a new representation of urban-gay culture. Bleu is a dynamic team of people. We’re in the music industry, fashion, television and publishing. And of course a few assorted misfits who spend rent money on designer clothes and never wait behind velvet ropes. Bleu is a variety of things and types of people, all of whom are absolutely fabulous!

Our hope with this publication is that after reading every issue, you feel empowered, renewed and ready to step out in those fresh Nikes (or high-top Prada’s). Too often, we get bogged down in all these labels; banjee, butch, DL, versatile, top, bi-curious, same-gender-loving, dominant bottom, faggot. With Bleu, we can just be ourselves.

We’re not ashamed - we’re stars! We realized there were no models of normalcy for us — on TV and movies and other media, we’re either pictured as flaming queens or the DL homothug with the detachable gun-toting posse. But we’re so much more than that. We’re fathers, sons, cousins, uncles and most importantly, brothers. Despite everybody’s attempts to marginalize and seperate us, we’re united. And informed. And optomistic. Bleu is rock climbing in Puerto Rico and getting hyphy in the club. Bleu is kids that vogue and dudes that play basketball in the park. Bleu appreciates Jay-Z, loves Nancy Wilson and even dances to Beenie Man. Mean spirited, homophobic attacks won’t stop our stunting. We fight back.

When you view the world from the Bleu lens, our predicament is a blessing, not a burden. Without us, women with bad hair would parade around America’s malls unnoticed, and buttoned-down straight people across red and blue states would never know the heights of our creativity. They’d never delight in Sylvester, understand James Cleveland, read James Baldwin, or get aroused by the flamboyance of a number of athletes. We’re not getting preachy. We’re grooving more under the disco ball until the last song plays, and then requesting one more. We’re celebrating people like Keith Boykin, who prove that the words “fabulous” and “activist” don’t have to be exclusive terms.

So here we are. Bleu. We’re just getting started, and we look forward to coloring your world.

THE BLEU STAFF

Kelly looks hella hot!!!!!

*******Ms. KELLY WILL BE IN STORES JULY 3, 2007******

I love Kelly, and she does look great in these pics but, I really don’t feel she has to do this in order to sell her music… I think she should let her lovely voice and beautiful personality speak for themselves. She will definately go far I just wish she wouldn’t go the same route as the rest of the r&b chicks in the game right now. She is far too talented and too beatiful to conform to the masses… She has a great body but I must say that these types of pics kind of disapoint me… just my opinion.

She looks great! But even with all the promotions she still doesn’t have the buzz that I think she will need for the monster comeback she is hoping for. I wish her the best.

Oh my, Kelly is on the cover of King?!!! I never thought I would see the day…I’m sorry but there is no friggin way Matthew and them would let you know who do this ish.

Not that King is not a top men’s mag or anything but Kelly just surpasses the sex symbol thing to me. She is so classy, has so much potential, and radiate.

Even though I think Kelly on King is kinda wack (she should have had that Vibe cover, I mean c’mon now you know who has had more then enough covers)!!! I will buy the mag anyway, I feel like you should support your favorite artists…and if mags recognize a Kelly cover will sell then incidents such as the Vibe one will not happen.

*disappoint

I like the second pic of kelly better. She is so beautiful imo. Pretty flawless skin.

@ Magnificence — What happened with the Vibe cover?

oh snap go kelly get it girl

She looks real wack on that KING cover. She look straight on the bleu cheese jawn.

The first pic does not do her justice. She looks sweaty. I know its the wet issue but come on its like they took a cue from Vibe when they did that horrible MJB cover. The second pic is just ok. She is so pretty thay both could have doen better.

ooops I meant “definitely”, and “beautiful”, lol I was typing waaay too fast

Not sure she really needed this exposure!

I guess Bexy has set the bar so high!

the king cover is hella wack….the other one is great!

Rock on Mz. Chocolate Gurl!!!

She looks beautiful!

There is no denying the fact that Kelly is a pretty woman, but other than that……..

Let’s just say I didn’t get her first album and I won’t be getting this one.

I’m just not a fan

Go Ms. Kelly you can’t please everyone. They were mad that you weren’t getting promotion and now still they’re still running their damn mouths….Welcome to your solo career ma! 07-03-07

I DNOT KNOW WHY DARK SKIN CHICS INSIST ON TRYING TO MAKE IT BEYONCE HAVE KILLED ALL YOU BITCHES HAHAHA

why do people say “there’s no denying” as if everyone agrees with their opinion. I don’t think she’s that pretty, never did. she has a beautiful body though and flawless skin but a lot of ppl i know don’t think she’s that pretty either. get over it

what happened with king magazine? she’s such a sweet girl i don’t think she’ll be able to handle the biz. i think bee can handle it b/c she’s hungry for the fame and will do anything to get it

Cute pics!

#13 I agree.

She is not cute to me. She has a head like the cartoon character Lil LULU.

I’m sorry but Beyonce stole any glory Kelly will ever have. It’s a sad situation, but it’s true. Michelle is going good though. Get it Shug Avery.

Maybe kelly should try acting, cause Beyonce’s country behind is a horrible actress. IMO

#41

You said you don’t think she’s THAT pretty, but she is at least somewhat pretty in your book. That’s why I used that phrase. She might not be THAT pretty but she’s somewhat of an attractive woman!

Dang at least don’t take that away from her! She is somewhat attractive.

DA BOTTOM LINE IS SHE LOOKS GOOD..ALL YA’LL GON DO IS KEEP COMPARIN HER TO BEYONCE AND DATS NOT FAIR..IF SHE WAS JUS A REGULAR SOLO FEMALE ARTIST FROM A BEGINNING, IT WOULDNT BE LIKE DAT..SHE ON DA SAME LEVEL AS ANY OTHER FEMALE R&B STAR ,IF NOT BIGGER..NO SHES NOT AS BIG AS BEYONCE, BUT KELLY ROWLAND IS A BIG ARTIST..JUS LET HER DO HER AND STOP FUCKIN COMPARIN HER TO BEYONCE…DAMN

Thats it!You can’t please everybody! So maybe we can agree to stop with the “Stop Hating” because you put the nail on it hard.If you don’t care for the music so be it thats you!

#40

Please don’t go there

That’s what’s wrong with SOME people today, too damn stuck on color.

Who the hell cares?

If you are an attractive women, then that’s what you are.

Forget about color for once!

..SEE HOW KELLY ROWLAND HIGHLIGHTS WHEN U SAY HER NAME..LOL..DAT MEANS SHE’S ALL OVER DA NET ,,FOR YA’LL WHO DONT KNOW..LOL

@ 47 THIS IS A PUBLIC BLOG I CAN SAY WHAT I DAMN WELL PLEASE!!!!!! IF YOU DONT LIKE IT IGNORE IT AND MOVE ON .

HAVE A GREAT DAY

igh, mister kelly if you aks me, when is this midnight evil dogface jivetalkin mutt gonna stay home?

creature of the night!

she is just not pretty and it’s not because she’s “dark” either so STFU, i don’t wanna hear it.

Kelly you go girl!!!

what can’t be denied is that Kelly is always a natural beauty. The same can’t be said for Beyonce’ overhyped, processed, plastic self. kelly does definetly need newmanagement immediately. They are not pushing or promoting her ablum. when it was this close to B-day’s release it was Beyonce’ overload on tv, radio, magazines, and all over the internet. It is hard to find any ads promoting Miss Kelly. I wonder have you all seen any? The Knowles are about their real family kelly. You should see in their ase that blood is definetly thickert than water. They are too busy promoting Beyonce’s tour, solange fake ass career, and now baby daniel with the toy endorsments. Open your eyes Kelly and ask yourself what is the real reason they are holding me back. Could it be that you are a natural beauty that everyone loves and can relate too. That would be horrible because you would outshine their #1 meal ticket and way to fame.

i believe she has BEAUTIFUL skin, seems really sweet, and has a voice thats between ok and good BUT i dont think she is pretty. she is just there—not pretty but not ugly.

Why is Kelly not beautiful? Is it because she does not try to mimic the ideal European image of beauty. By wearing a unbelieveable weave down to her ass and lipstick that does not match her ass in any way. Is it by denying that you are black and not accepting your true you.

she looks so sad on the cover of king

almost like she’s disappointed in herself for selling out.

all the grammys, tours, platinum, events and she’s featured in the same magazine that exploits strippers.

i cant feel sorry for her though

shes gotta learn what we all had to learn

FAMILY AINT FAMILY NO MORE

looks like lil kelly will have to fend for herself.

letoya did her own thing and she had the cover of king too

OH THE IRONY

kelly is taking cues from LETOYA

the truth always comes out.

I GOT MAD RESPECT FOR LETOYA LUCKETT

SHE WAS THE REAL “SURVIVOR!!!”

HATE the King cover. Kelly is gorgeous and this cover does not highlight her beauty at all. She looks STUNNING in the Bleu pic.

I could just feel the dislike for dark skin women just oozing out of your post!

I like both. She makes her King cover look classy, and her Bleu cover is sweet and sexy. I agree with Angel. Amerie does have some competition in the leg game!

I LOVE ME SOME KELLY, I THINK SHE IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, BUT THAT KING MAGAZINE COVER DOES NOTHING FOR HER! THE OTHER COVER SHE LOOKS NATURAL AND BEAUTIFUL.

I must say that Kelly is looking really good now and days to me but I’m tired of people blaming Papa Knowles for her downfall….First stop hating and comparing her to Beyonce…She is not B not even by a long shot. Yes I think they are both beautiful women but she doesn’t have Beyonce’s voice nor does she have Beyonce’s stage presence and sex appeal to me and it has nothing to do with her skin color. Every time I come to on here it’s some chick crying about the dark skin sistas and how they don’t get as much exposure then the light skin ones…Get over it Beyonce is just a basically a much better singer and has more stage personality then Ms. Kelly. Also, I don’t think Mr. Knowles has anything to do with Kelly album being pushed back he truly sees her as one of his children also just like Kelly always says….He’s like her dad too….So just stop hating on Beyonce for being on top of her game and being beautiful and stop hating on her father helping her out…Because i’m sure if B was your daughter you would be pushing for her record sells just as hard because that is your flesh and blood…..On a end note Kelly I am rooting for ya but less face it you are not no beyonce plain and simple….I’m out…

ok no wait… i didn’t see the 2nd pic.. she looks ok in THAT pic though…

@#40 what’s my name? DOG FACE!
@#40 what’s my name? DOG FACE!
OH you think BEYONCE represents you cause you white-skinnedded HUH?
what do you put on your apps…….?
NOT SO BLACK,NOT THAT BLACK HALF and HALF or AFFLACK?
ARE YOUR SAYING ALL DARK PEOPLE ARE UGLY?

@ camdon i wasn’t trying to attack you. sorry. i was talking about a lot of posts that i’ve read about her in general and i just used that line from your post

I think that Kelly is very average looking…
It has nothing to do with skin complexion and if i never even heard of Beyonce i would still say Kelly is average…
For someone to act like she is the best thing since sliced bread, i wouldn’t agree with. But, we all have our opinions…She’s not ugly but i wouldn’t go as far as saying she is beautiful…

FYI: The crazy itch posting that foolywang color crap has GOT to be longhairbooty, missblacknasty or that redbone fool.

EXACTLY WHAT IS OUT OF PLACE ON KELLY?
IS HER NOSE TOO BIG?
LIPS TOO POUTY
LEGGS TOO SKINNY?
WHAT? and in a DESTINY CHILDS song you could barely tell her from BEE?
BE BRUTAL WHAT’S WRONG WITH HER?SPECIFICALLY.

Oh Lord. Who brought up a skin color topic? Idiots.

and Julie, I agree. I’m tired of seeing Beyonce and MJB on the covers of those magazines. I want to Kelly, Amerie, Mya, and Rihanna on those covers.

@SN
kelly does try to fit the euro model of beauty. she wears long weaves as well. and i believe she had her nose done

either way, i never thought she was pretty and though i think she looks better now, i still don’t think she’s that pretty. she could’ve been light-skinned and i still would’ve felt the same way (i.e. mya). angela bassett is dark and i think she’s one of the most beautiful women in hollywood. she trumps the light-skinned beyonce’s imo so i assure you, it isn’t a color thing

D- MAN LEARN HOW TO WRITE A COMPLETE SENTENCE ! NOT ONCE DID I CALL HER UGLY. WHERE DID YOU READ THAT?????? STOP TRYING TO MAKE AN ARGUMENT WHERE ONE DOES NOT EXSIST. JACKASS

Can someone please tell me why is it that if someone doesn’t think a female is beautiful it’s bc she has dark skin? You may know someone that thinks like that but not everyone has that mentality…

I knew it was only a matter of time before Kelly put her azz on Ebay. Hey, I guess sex does sell. Such a pretty girl to up and waste all the talent. Matthew, I hope you’re happy. You won yet again.

OFF TOPIC

Did anyone see Miss USA fall on her azz the other night? Dat shyt was funny. I mean she fell straight on her azz, not at an angle, but straight down. In high heels a gown an erraythang. I damn near soiled myself I laughed so hard. It’s even funnier to watch dat shyt on CNN. They put closed caption on, showed dat shyt in slow motion and even had a special commentary. Maybe it’s just me but I found dat. shyt heeeeeeellllaaaaarious. The girl who fell didn’t, but I sure did.

Anyway back to Ms. Kelly. Despite this obvious desperate attempt for attention, I sincerely wish her well.

HOW DO THEY GET THESE WOMEN TOTAKE THIER CLOTHE’S OFF?
THAT’S WHAT I WANNA KNOW?

KELLY LOOKS GREAT…SHE REPPIN FOR THE CHOCOLATE SISTAS SO I AINT MAD @ HER AT ALL…JUST WISH SHE WOULD GET A BACKBONE AND TAKE CONTROL OF HER CAREER, SHE HAS A GREAT PERSONALITY & A NICE VOICE..SUCH A WASTE..SMH

I love Bee Kelly is fake she won’t be big her time was up when D/C split

I think Kelly is gorgeous and her personality personifies her outside beauty. I know I’m not the only one who remembers when Star Jones interviewed Beyonce and asked her who she thought was naturally beautiful, Kelly Rowland was the first one she named. She also mentioned that she has a lot of work to help the way she looks (she did not seem vain at all). You tube should have the interview.
