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.

@ # 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!

^^ 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

SIMEON SAID:

Therefore, if posing for the covers of men’s magazines make Kelly a “sell-out” then she was selling out a LONG TIME AGO.

***************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.

Kelly looks to beautiful on both covers she is moving up now soon she will be on top….good for her she is a good singer…

this is so funny…you guys claim not to care, but why are there over 150 posts on these pictures…you might clain that kelly is ugly but whatever…she’s still hot to alot of people, and she’s doing her thing! if you gonna buy the album buy it, if not don’t blame kelly’s management on your lack of interest!

Kelly can sing and everything but she’s not better than BEYONCE….

EVERYBODY PLEASE VOTE FOR KELLY ON BET.COM AND TRL.MTV.COM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO GOOD TIMES FOR MS KELLY, SHE IS THE TRUTH AND HER VOICE CAN GO SO MANY PLACES WITH A NEW PRODUCER OF COURSE. GET IT MAMA AINT MAD AT CHA. THE BLEU COVER DOES LOOK MORE DIVA-ISH. THEY SHOULD HAVE ADDED MORE PICS

the king cover is horrible but the bleu one is pretty hot.

let’s face it, if this was bee on KING magazine, these comments would be pushing 400.

LOL at kells being B’s biggest competition and i’m a huge kells fan as well as bee’s

Ahh those are really pretty. Kelly is such a beautiful girl. She reppin the beautiful chocolate ladies in the world. Love ya Kelly.

Her face looks weak on the King cover but her body is on point.

not really #156 they both have the same amount of comments

I guess no one but me knows that Kelly has ALREADY been featured on King before! She’s not selling herself beginning now! She’s already been on there - back when she had the short black and red hair. I have the issue!

Furthermore, why do y’all always blame Matthew Knowles for her downfall or lack of hype? She has say in her management and what goes on with her career too, you know?

…and Beyonce gets more hype because she’s hot right now. People will spend money on her promotion because they know more money will come out of her. That’s business.

@16
Damn gurl i hate Beyonce like Micheal Jackson and black ppl but Kelly def aint betta then Beyonce fo sho.

KELLY LOOKS GOOD AND SHE REALLY HAS A BEATIFUL STRONG VOICE

# 112. YOU ACT AS IF I SHOULD BE OFFENDED BECAUSE YOU CALLED ME, DARKIE. LIKE BEING DARK IS AN UGLY THING. I BET YOU LIVE UNDERNEATH A BRIDGE WITH 200 ALLEY CATS, BORN WITH BOTH A VAGINA AND PENIS, AND YOU GOT ONE TITTY.

lol tisha…that’s so funny! amen to that!

natural mystic said:

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.
———————————————–

I agree, but I also think that she’s probably not getting the major interviews or mag covers because they know that all she’s going to do is talk about Beyonce.

I mean, if that’s the story that they’re going to get then they might as well get the real thing.

But, hopefully, one day, she wake up and she that she needs to leave the Knowles’ nest.

But, then again, if she did, they might catch the risk of her becoming successful.

Why every post gotta be about beyonce damn! And why erytime some1 say kelly some1 gotta say beyonce, like why does there always have to be a comparison. I mean they aint battlling, so why folks battling for them! Thats just boring ass hell, get a hobbie or somet!

yeAH SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!! GET’ EM GIRL!!!!! STEPPIN OUT OF B’S SHADOW FOR A CHANGE AND DOING HER DAMN THANG!!! SHE TOLD YALL SHE WAS GONNA BUMP LIKE THIS!!!!LMAO

To be frank, I do not know why we can’t support our own when they are trying to make. Must we tear someone down or compare them? Why can’t there be more than one female superstar from our culture? People support innovate, and grow. Excuse the misspelling if there is any.

I’m kinda disappointed she needs to fire her manager or whoever told her being on the cover of King mag would be a good career move. Off topic I’m feeling Beyonce’s ‘Get Me Bodied” video Kelly & Michelle looked like the wish Destiny Child was reuniting

erm kelly’s face luks lyk a bear in d king mag she has got nice legs y o y do dese women pose lyk dis to sell their music u hav got the talent gal u don’t need to do dis. and i don’t lyk her on the other mag either. put on ure clothes get ure butt in the studio and record hits and RELEASE an album b4 solange’s boy does PLEASE

I AM CONVINCED THAT PEOPLE HATE ON MISS KELLY BECAUSE THEY WANT SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT! PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THAT THIS IS A BAD CAREER MOVE, BUT IT GOT YOU GUYS TALKING DIDN’T IT? AND DOESN’T ANYBODY REMEMBER BEYONCE BEING ON THE COVER OF SPORT ILLUSTRATED’S SWIMSUIT EDITION IN A SKIMPY BIKINI? WHAT IS S.I., A WOMEN’S MAGAZINE? OH MY BAD, ONLY WHITE PEOPLE READ THAT, SO I GUESS IT’S GOTTA BE CLASSY. AND FOR ALL YOU DUMB ASS HATERS WHO JUST WANT SOMETHING TO SAY, PLEASE NOTE THAT KINGS IS THE HOTTEST BLACK MEN’S MAGAZINE IN PUBLICATION!

Soooooo….shinny!

Hmmm, not really feeling the King Mag, but Bleu is str8. She looks nice.

@171, u no how stupid u made ya self luc.Since only white ppl read sports illustrated, and white ppl only cover it then Beyonce is 1 of the first African american womens 2 be on it, its better than bein the 4,987,654,071 black person on King magazine that just goes 2 show ya ass how much of a Queen B Beyonce rilly is.Fuck all yalls hataz.She betta than Kelendria 4 sho’.

@ 174 UM ACTUALLY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT KELLY SELLING OUT! AND ABOUT THE MAG NOT BEING CLASSY. WHY DON’T YOU TAKE YOUR ILLITERATE SELF BACK TO SCHOOL AND STOP TRYING TO SHOW YOUR FACE IN LITERATE PEOPLE’S BUSINESS!

Kelly rocks.
Beyonce is boring.
End of story.

uuuuuuuuummmmmmmm Bey boring my ass. If she doing practically everything that can be done she sure aint boring 2 me. And r u a white mothafucka talkin about Kelly”rocks” WTF? They both hot 2 me hands down.

yaaah go kelly! that’s it.

She’s finally getting what’s coming to her! Do ya thang, Kelly!

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.

bitch what the hell are u talkin about………ummmmm anyway……its obvious u just tryna blame sumone for kellys LAME ASS!!!!!

THE HOT BOYZ ARE COMING, THE HOT BOYZ ARE COMING.

yo nigga why the fuck u talkin shit about dark skin women my friends are dark skin and thats fucked ya a hater 4 real but its funny as hell how u pop off at the mouth saying dark skin chicks are ugly but its funny cuz u all on kellys shit hop the fuck off then there aint no need to follow all her post stupidass!!!!

p.s-a yo if u the shit were the fucks ya picture u afraid 2 post it use probally a wack ass nigga with no balls probally ugly 2 with a chipped tooth!!!!
