@ # 72…..

Easy, it’s called money. Just about any and everyone in Hollywood will sell their souls for it. The few left that have a soul anyway.

CHOCLATE GOODNESS

Flawless go girl! Ooooh her heels is fly I love them!

@ 55 she does sad and uncomfortable she is trying too hard her video look like a Bee knockoff

Can’t she get better covers than these two D-list pubs?

Kelly is a beautiful woman (light or dark…who cares) but she doesn’t have that spark, that thing, that star power that other people in the industry just have. She seems really sweet and all that, but you either got it or you don’t sorry she is background material.

And when did this Bleu magazine start never heard of it and King? DOWNGRADE KELLY! You got booted from the Vibe cover and came back on a booty mag and some unknown magazine. SMH

I DONT THINK BEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ALL THESE ‘POSITIVE’ COMMENTS HAD IT BEEN HER ON KING MAG. #7 U SoOo ON POINT! BLEU COVER IS NICE.KING COVER IS BLEUGHH RUBBISH…NEXT NOW LETS ACTUALLY SELL SOME RECORDS…

It would have been nice to see a side shot (aka show off that booootay!). But anyways, she’s a very beautiful lady and I’m happy she got 2 covers.

@71 yeah I seen that Miss USA fall on the news that was funny as hell but I said damn why our sista had to fall.

Anywho I see some people making stupid comments already but why point them out it’s only going to cause more chaos. Let some things rest.

Kelly looks absolutly Beautiful on that Bleu cover and Sexy on the King cover. She has one of the most nicest legs I’ve seen. Amerie will have competition in the leg department. On one recent interview Kelly said that she’s going to bulk up her legs because she wants legs like Serena Williams. So I guess ya’ll can see some results and she’s sticking to that plan.

King is a nice sexy and classy magazine so she is not selling her soul. Even if she did playboy, but for right now hopefully what will really be selling is her album.

@81 DG1234 said: Kelly is a beautiful woman (light or dark…who cares)

I agree who cares

@18, I am so with you on that. She looks constipated on the King cover, and her legs look manly! But she’s really rocking the Bleu shot. I love her too, and I love her voice, but I guess she’s just not got IT, like #13 said.

Dame, thank you for telling us that you love Beyonce, but we all know who had the better voice in DC.

I agree with #13- There is nothing that really stands out about this chick. Physically or musically. She’s cute, not pretty and has mediocre vocal talent. I feel her new CD will flop as badly as the first. She should give it up and just cash in those DC royalty checks.

Kelly looks beautiful on the Bleu cover!

PEOPLE ARE SO IDIOTIC WHEN THEY SAY SHE NEEDS TO SWITCH LABELS. SHE WOULDNT BE ANYWHERE WITHOUT HER LABEL!

PLENTY OF ARTIST SHIT GETS PUSHED BACK. LOOK AT FIFTY..MOST OF THE TIME IT IS BECAUSE THE PUBLIC ISNT FEELING THE FIRST SINGLE OUT.

SO ALL THAT TALK WITH HER MGMT AND STUFF. IF SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD A PROBLEM DONT YOU THNK SHE WOULD TRY AND LEAVE. APPARENTLY SHE IS GRATEFUL AND LOYAL TO THE PEOPLE WHO MADE HER WHO SHE IS TODAY. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IN A GROUP OUTSHINES ANOTHER DOESNT MEAN THE ONE WITH LESS SHINE IS UNHAPPY

GO KELS

My chocolate American Princess. You look hot mami. Dman, those long, sexy legs. Forget about Orlando Bloom and come to your Nubian Prince.

natural mystic

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IF SHE DOESNT RISE? SHE WAS A PART OF ONE OF THE BIGGEST GIRL GROUPS IN HISTORY!

SHE HAS RISEN!

SHE HAS BEEN ON THE TOP AND ONLY SHE CAN SAVE HERSELF. HER TALENT ALONE HAS TO SAVE HER AND IF NOT THEN SHE WILL BE CASHING DC CHECKS FOR LIFE.

HER MGMT CANT MAKE HER SELL ALBUMS. PEOPLE HAVE TO FEEL HER

how did they manage to get her @ 2 completely different complexions

sn ur AN IDIOT

KELLY WOULD BE NOWHERE W/O THE KNOWLES

SHE CANT EVEN HOLD HER OWN ON A SOLO CAREER

what makes people think she would be better off w/o them .. beyonce shines because she is a star. she knows how to perform, she has won people over with her acting, and has basically proven herself. The KNOWLES CANT PROVE ANYHTING KELLY HAS TO DO THAT!

Sometimes an artist needs to take responsibility. If they have no appeal, then they have no appeal..all you fans go buy 3 or 4 albums so her sales soar otherwise stop blaming the Knowles for stupid stuff. The knowles (as someone said above) are also responsible FOR HER SUCCESS in that case!!!!!!!

AT least they kept it classy This is evidence you can push the envelope but keep your dignity all at the same time.

FOR THE POSTER WHO MADE THE REPLY ABOUT THE INTERIEW BY STAR JONES. SHE ASKED BEYONCE WHO SHE THOUGHT WAS BEAUTIFUL? SHE SAID SHE THOUGHT KELLY WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HER.

UNLESS YOU WORK FOR SONY OR MUSICWORLD YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON WITH KELLY RELEASE. PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT KELLY NOT GETTING HER SHINE NEED TO MAKE SURE WHEN HER ALBUM DROPS TO GO OUT AND BUY 4-5 COPIES! I AM NOT A FAN, BUT I MIGHT BUY ONE JUST TO SEE WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT. “LIKE THIS” IS ALRIGHT BUT I”M REALLY NOT FEELING IT!

SOLANGE TWO JOINTS THAT WAS POSTED ON HERE I LOVE, EVEN MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER LIKES THEM! SO I MIGHT GET HERS IF AND WHEN SHE DROPS AN ALBUM!

that bleu cover is very nice.

Yeah, its obvious, she looks akward on the King cover…maybe her barefeet would have made it more sexy or more pointier stilettos, whats up with them thick ass clear heels?

THE KING COVER IS LOOKN MAD GOOD!!!!! GET IT GURL.
I NEVER HEARD OF BLEU MAG.

i’m not quite feelin’ the King cover *it’s her facial expression that’s just too damn hard*.. still love her tho..

oh wow people can hate just to make themselves feel better! i’m sure 95% or you who are posting hate would have to put a paper bag over your head when standing next to kelly rowland. she might not have “marketable” features but she is a very beautiful young lady inside and out! she never has anything bad to say about anyone, and she only get’s positive comments from everybody who comes into contact with her. you want her to be beyonce? don’t you already have a beyonce? and please tell me how kelly sold out? she has on a one piece bathing suit for crying out loud! not a thong or anything see through. so what she doesn’t sex it up? to me kelly has something different from the norm. she’s sweet! she’s charming! she doesn’t try to be something she’s not. in this world of skanks kelly brings class to whatever she does! she’s posing nude and she’s still classy! if you are not going to buy her album that’s fine, but don’t blame her lack of “spark” on the knowles, beyonce, or kelly…blame it on you hesitation to accept this girl and see past the backup blinders you have put on! peace!

After taking a second look, the first pic is not a good one but the second is still cute.

Go Kelly!Humble.At least she don’t scream fame.

Kelly is a pretty girl, but she doesn’t have that star quality. I don’t like the front cover, it isn’t grabbing, but the blue pic is beautiful.

@87 Yeah we do-Beyonce

I’m glad Kelly is finally starting to get some recognition, hopefully, this is just the beginning. I’m really feeling the sec. pic.

I agree with most of you, she does need to get new mangement and find a new label

Dnt like the Cover, but the 2nd pic is nice!

71. Who In Da Hell Left Da Gate Open? said:

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.

^^ It wasnt only you, I cried tears last night laughin at that!! I mean she fell str8 down for real and hopped right back up… N u kno the crowd was mad as hell that she still made it to Top 5, they were like ”boooooooooo!” like how did this clumsy chick still make it?? LOL, i cnt lie, after i saw the top 5, my money was on Miss Brazil!

@87 I use to b a Kelly fan until recently she did something that was uncalled for imo. Let me state I haven’t always been a Bee

@40 YOU’RE ONE IGNORANT BITCH, STUCK ON STUPID LIKE YOU STUCK ON THE COLOR MAP. ANYWAY, KELLY WHO?!?!? SHE IS SO RANDOM.

Ain’t nobody sellin no damn cds so sit that shit down. People on here talkin bout they aint gone buy her cd tell who cd have you bought recently NOBODYS. You download that shit or buy a couple songs off itunes. I agree with SN and D-man cause they the only ones makin sense. Everybody postin stupid shit like they don’t care but you posted that stupid shit so undoubtfully you do care. But let me stop babbling cause I can go on and on about stupid ass black people especially these broke ass hoes.

fan. Kelly can do well but her song is wack. i like Polow da don but why eve rapping on the track?

109 AND YOUR MORE IGNORANT FOR RESPONDING …HAHA DONT HATE DARKIE

#108 what did kelly do that was uncalled for?

I Love it!

everybody go get her album… she looks fab…

#113 she had an old issue w/s’1 at the radio and called in acting real stank. Rubbed people the wrong way not in ur home town

KELLY IS A GORGEOUS SEXY BLACK WOMAN. ONE OF THE PRIZED JEWELS ON THIS EARTH!

First off, the covers are ok, nothing special. My point is that I’m a Kelly fan and a Bee fan, neither one more than the other. What I want to know is what is with the comparisons between the two? If Kelly sounded and looked like Bee, what would be the point of a solo career? It’s about individuality, right?

#113 the next wk she came here to h’town got on the radio saying she wants support she fake to me. Her and the person made up.

MMMMMMMM CHOCOLATE MY FAVORITE FLAVOR

she looks like two different people …???

Do ya thang Kells!!! We got ya back. Loving your style and definitely coppin’ that album!

I wanna se you reach your FULL potential as an artist! U can do it girl…ur the shttt!!

And I hope you find a GOOD man too!!! A woman like u most definitley deserves one!!! They shouldn’t be so hard to find!

All the best.

As always, Kelly is a beautiful woman. The “Bleu” photo shot is gorgeous. However, The “King” magazine cover was o.k. In both photos she’s showing some skin, but she doesn’t look “cheap” or “slutty” while doing so. In my opinion, Kelly is a very classy and down to earth woman. Therefore, she can take pictures where she’s fully clothed and can still come across as sexy. As far as photos goes, if she keeps it at this level and doesn’t allow herself to go too far, she’ll be just fine.

For those of you who don’t know, this is Kelly’s SECOND King cover (visit kelendriafans.com , go to the gallery and click on photoshoots if you want to see her first King spread). As a member of Destiny’s Child Kelly graced the cover of FHM and Stuff (both are prominent mens magazines). Therefore, if posing for the covers of men magazines make Kelly a “sell-out” then she was selling out a long time ago. After all, the woman has been in this business for a decade now and wether you LOVE her or HATE her she’s still making a hell-of-alot more money than any one posting on this site (myself included). OH, and for those of you whom

#92 “story”– well, i meant “rise” as a solo artist.
And yes, people have to “feel” her, but I don’t think she’s getting any positive or beneficial exposure….and these new tracks I’ve heard are really weak.
Like I said, she doesn’t have that mystique, but I really do feel that if her manager put her out there harder, she’d be a bit more popular.

OH, and I realize that every one is entitled to their own opinion, but for those of you whom for whatever asinine reason think that Kelly Rowland is not a pretty woman; GET YOUR EYES CHECKED. Kelly Rowland is one of the most beautiful women in this world (Beyonce has even said that [more than once]). Give the girl credit for being talented and gorgeous (all of the things you HATERS are obviously not) seeing as how it takes one to know one.

On the King Mag cover, Her hair is on point. And I’m glad she is not all EXTRA on it. Kept it classy.
I do think the photographer caught her usually flawless legs at a wrong angle though.

2nd cover, flawless.

lovse it.

kind.

just for clarification: this is the second time kelly’s been on the cover of King. She was on it in 03 too, and she was “wet” on that cover too.

she’s doin her thizzle. i got love for her.

HOTSHIP,

you asked how did she sell out?

well, she’s on the cover of a magazine that she nor beyonce should pose for

alot of yall got short term memories but do anyone remember a song called INDEPENDENT WOMEN?

dc established themselves as strong independent women who played by their own rules and made their own money

but now here she is on the cover of a magazine that frequently features the following people: buffy the body, vida guevera, trina, hoopz and just about every other BEAUTIFUL black woman.

mind you, the women are objectified by the “KING” and reduced to eye candy.

questioned about their sex lives and photographed wet in oil, bikinis, and high heels.

gtfohwtbs

this is the deal with king magazine point blank period.

i can understand why she did it

as the post clearly states SOMEBODY stole her vibe cover

shes trying to grind hard to promote her comeback and i respect that.

but the look in kelly’s eyes confirms my sentiments

kelly is a very beautiful girl
she’s always been a very beautiful girl

these are just simple observations based upon facts- things that they have done or are doing

no one can “hate” without loving first

we give a fuck enough to speak on it and that says alot

i dont hate kelly or wish her ill will

i actually wish her true growth

maybe you she should do a song with lauryn hill or faith evans

change it up, flip the style more, venture into differnt sounds and producers, put on some timbs or something, just keep it moving in a positive direction.

truthful

***************TO ALL THE KELLY HATERS****************
Please hate the game not the artist!!!!!!!!!!
While it is true she not getting the promotions she needs
She is a very good singer!!!!!!
She needs to to step her game up !!!!!!!!!!!
And start promoting herself if her “MANAGER”
Wont do what hes getting paid to do
She is very intelligent
And shes one of the few that does charity work for the kids!!!
And I love that she is humble to remember wheres shes coming from
And giving back to her community

@ #101-AMEMN!

@ #101-AMEN!

Oh My!..Why all the negativity and the comparisons to Beyonce?..I think both ladies are great and Kelly does have star power she just needs some confidence and better songs..all the people that are negative towards Kelly are Beyonce stans!…if someone said that Beyonce was average looking you stans would be defending her like crazy!oh and typing that lame speech about people hating on Beyonce and that we should stop hating on our race and supporting our race” bullshit last time I checked Kelly is Black..last time I checked Amerie is Black as well as Ciara and Rhianna and people say nothing but negativity about them..and no one defends them and type that tired ass speech of us hating on our race when it comes to them..hypocrisy I tell ya..all in all we should at least support all our sistas rather the just one and hate the rest not fair at all..Kelly needs some work most definetly but she won’t have problem of not being noticed because she was in DC

can’t blame everything on management…if u ain’t sellin..people ain’t buyin. I liked her with DC but not a fan of her solo shyt..but I’d chop my arm off before I bought anything by Michelle!!

—————————————–
^^^I feel the same way.I would chop my arm off to. Cause Michelle’s voice is so depressing

No. 55: I was thinking the same thing. LeToya was the cover girl for the first annual Wet Issue.

As far as the legs go, Amerie’s are much better.

This is not the first time that Kelly has done King and she looks GREAT!!! ( Now there saying MS. before they mention her name) For the people that feel that Kelly not going to go far who cares Kelly has really Fans like me that will be there on 7/3/2007 to get a copy of Ms. Kelly!! I got Toya I got Beyone and I got Michells I Like all of Destiny Child together or APART!!

Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder and no matter how long you argue there is never going to be total and complete agreement among everyone. Kelly is beautiful. Beyonce is beautiful. Period. Move on.

I’m not really feeling the King cover I KNOW they had some better shots than that of my girl!!

I’m loving the Bleu cover though she looks gorgeous! I can’t wait until her album comes out im expecting it to be better than the last!!

she is SO UGLY! damn jessica white is foin, kelly rowland looks like A DOG! stop actin all politically correct-shes a midnight evil dog! darkness!

First of all, I know that everyone wants Kelly to be as popular as Beyonce, because they hate B so much. But if you don’t have it, you just don’t. Kelly appears to be very sweet, but she has no talent what so ever, and her appeal is not hot!!! Anyone can hit the notes that she does. There is nothing elaborate about this woman. I’m sorry but I believe that after this album, no one will be thinking about Kelly. BELIEVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i mean really… who is managing this girl’s career? KING MAGAZINE???? this is the same magazine that vidihoes cover! is this really the best they could do for kelly? when is she going to realize, her “management team” don’t give a damn about her? The choices they make for her only ensure that she remains on the B-LIST! i guess for kelly, standing in the shadow of beyonce works just fine for her!

both of the covers are sexy and classy.

I don’t think this cover looks good at all.

I like Kelly. I think she’s a good singer and I think she’s pretty, but this cover is HORRIBLE. It’s bad on so many levels. She looks uncomfortable. The oil on her legs looks caked up. The pose looks incredibly awkward.

I’m not hating, just stating my opinion. This could’ve been done better. And to the male fans, how many of YOU are going to go out and buy her album? Does this cover make you want to buy her record? Had you planned to buy it before now?

Horrible image. Good luck to you Kelly.

WHILE I LOVE KELLY, SHE CAN TAKE ALL THE PICS SHE WANT BUT I AIN’T BETTING ON NOTHING UNTIL THAT ALBUM DROPS(IF IT DROPS)….

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly……I am shocked!

The King cover was tastefully done but the pic itself is just plain ugly. The Bleu cover is just a NO, NO! So this is what it comes down to huh?

DAMN SO MANY HATERS ON HERE, YALL FAILING TO REALIZE THAT OF COURSE MATTHEW NOT GOING TO DO AS MUCH FOR KELLY, U NO Y? BECAUSE U NO AND I NO THAT KELLY WOULD B BEYONCE’S BIGGEST COMPETITION. SO STOP HATEING ON HER CAUSE YALL MUTHAFUCKAS AIN’T SHIT NOR ARE YALL MAKING AS MUCH MONEY AS SHE IS, SO GET OFF HER PUSSY AND GO SUCK A DICK. AND DIS IS FOR ALL THE HATER ON HERE. AND SHE LOOK GOOD AND MAYBE IF YALL CHECKED OUT SOME OF HER SITES WHERE OTHER SONGS ARE POSTED MAYBE SOME OF YALL OPINIONS WOULD CHANGE. BUT O WELL FUCK YA IF U HATE HER, CAUSE SHE STILL LOOK, SOUND, AND DRESS BETTER THEN YALL. AS WELL AS MAKE MORE MONEY, SO SHE DON’T GIVE A FUCK WAT YALL SAY ABOUT HER CAUSE SHE STILL GETTIN HER.
