I love Kelly!! Song is Ehhh…Has To Grow On Me.. When is the re-release of Ms. Kelly coming out
?
poor kelly, her tickets to see her perform at the house of blues is only 75 CENTS!!!
Its a nice pop song but it won’t sell in the Urban market maybe she needs to stick to this style and leave R&B alone altogether. She definitely needs to ditch Matthew but sorry I will not be purchasing the re-release I don’t don’t do those good luck Kells
ITS A GOOD VIDEO BUT I WOULD LIKE IT WAY BETTER IF IDIDNT AVTHOSE MOVIE CLIPS!!!!!!!!!
love the song..the vid a bit typical
and what!!!!! travis cleaned tha eyebrows…dope
Not feeling the song at all. Maybe she’ll do better overseas. She needs the right song and right collabo.
LOVE TRAVIS!! && I ALWAYS WILL….
BUT AS FOR KELLY, NOW WORDS!
UR STRAIGHT UP & DOWN WACK, GIVE IT UP!
YOU WILL NEVA BE BEYONCE, SO GO AWAY!
* NO WORDS!
I do onot like this video its plain and I does nothing to raise kellys star power she deserves better than this because shes been in the game for over ten years. she needs to make better choices. its like she isnt even trying
ummm Kelly just needs to stop all together…..sorrry….
That was cute…I’m still not gonna buy the album though!
Awww Miss Kelly, keep them talking baby! Nice video for a movie soundtrack.
i love this song and the video looks so great and so does Kelly i just wish the video clips weren’t in it
I always knew Kelly needed to have someone control her career. I like the song cuz Travis McCoy is featured and I do like Kelly. But the problem is that THIS is suppose to be the song to save the Ms. Kelly Project. This will not hit the top 40. Maybe Gym Class Hero stans and dare I say Kelly stans will unite and make this a hit! I don’t know. She’s need to bring something that will bump! LOL
The song is okay. It’s nothing special that would make me want to go and purchase the re-release. It’s seems like Kelly can’t not find herself. She shines when she is with Destiny’s Child but her solo career needs a major recontruction. No diss to Matthew Knowles but I agree that Kelly needs to find her management that is not so focused on Beyonce that can give her what she needs.
i gotta ask y are some of u so negative towards her ..she just doing wat makes her happy
WOW…looking @ the comments u would think that we’re on a “white” blogspot… But in actuality, we’re not.
I was reading comments of this video on OTHER non-black sites and the comments were all positive…
i’m saying this to say that we need to stop knockin people who’re trying to do something positive. i’m sure if she was poppin her booty with a regular hip-hop beat, u guys would be saying something different!
the song is a nice, positive, message and she looks great in it!
GO KELLY!
Hmm…
She doesnt seem like she wants it. I mean is this all they could come up with to save her album. IONO maybe it will do well on MTV or something, but thats a big ass maybe.

—————-
Im sure that is not the case. I myself can enjoy other types of music. Trust I will bump somebody who does pop music like Britney spears just as much as I would bump any RnB/Rap artist.
hmm i like the song and the video .. but by reading the comments I’M GLAD THIS SONG ISN’T FOR THE US AND ONLY FOR THE U.K. .. there is just no pleasing some ppl i swear she can do no good i’m some ppl’s eyes
I am not feeling this. Just not.
Ok, maybe i’m a fool, but who are Gym Class Heroes? Is that a young people group? I don’t watch MTV anymore so i have no idea who they are.
The song is kinda boring. I mean, her voice is nice, but the music is so slow and she’s singing it so leisurely….its background music. Kinda something you’d hear in Target over the loudspeakers in late July when its hot outside and you had to run in and get an extra tube of sunblock.
I think i’ll write Kelly an Open Letter. I know she reads the Loop with her fine behind, so here goes:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Dear Kelly,
I love you. I think you are adorable, and have the greatest personality, the fly-est body and a fabulous voice. But for some reason, a great hulking buttload of the world’s public couldn’t give two s/hits about paying for your music. What the f/uck, man? I know, i don’t get it either. Its not like your studio recordings aren’t GOOD, even if you DO need to tune up your solo live performances, like, majorly.
But look, chick. I have an idea. Since you insist on rereleasing your last CD instead of chilling with Serena an’nem and kickin’ it on Miami beach until the next Destiny’s Child reunion, i have an idea for you. Remember when we met and i told you how much you reminded me of Whitney Houston? Your whole effervescent bubbly personality, and clear voice and all that? Remember how i told you it was something about you that made me think of Whitney in the white one-piece on the back of her first album cover, and you damn near cried happy little Kelly-tears of glee?
I was wrong. What you REALLY remind me of is Rocker Whitney. Alterna-Whitney.
This Whitney.

Please, go find a studio, get IN it and record this song. Like, go. Seriously. Go do it now. Get some producer who owes you a favor to rework the music so it sounds a little less 1988, and SING it exactly like it was on the original. (In this instance, it would be perfectly acceptable for you to f/uck for tracks, not that you’d ever, like, do that or anything.)
Record it, release it, and put it on the reissue of your album. Then borrow some cheese off your little sister B and make yourself a really hot video for it. Show off your legs and swing your hair around and paw all over a hot guy and wear stillettos. YES. Do it. And then get your Daddy/Manager to sell it to one of the makers of Midol to use as its commercial jingle (…you know how b/itches with P.M.S. get all emotional. It’d be perfect!) Then maybe get Jay-Z to play it on an endless repeating reel on all the plasma screens in the bathrooms of the 40/40 clubs, so drunk b/itches can rock out while they reapply their lip gloss and gossip in the mirrors and s/hit. Yeah. And then see if you can convince them to play it on MTV (In this instance, it would be perfectly acceptable for you to f/uck for airplay, not that you’d ever, like, do that or anything.)
So, there’s your game plan. GO!! DO it!! I just KNOW it’ll work, girl! And besides, you always DID say you loved you some Whitney! S/hit, you probably grew up singing this one into your hairbrush whenever Mathew Knowles wasn’t looking and making you harmonize along with Beyonce to those old En Vogue jams in her living room, anyway.
You can thank me later when you go platinum! I know you can do it!
Love,
your fan Sadat X.
I like the song but real talk i feel bad for her cause she can really sing…[better than michelle and B] but she will not get the shines she deserves because she is under the one-person management of matthew knowles…who only cares about the career of B..he don’t even give a fuck about his own daughter Solonge career….she’s not that bad either…damn shame…
Although Kelly had a good cd …Best SONG WAS “THE SHOW” featuring TANK
PS: Ok, some of that was my sarcastic brand of humor…..but i really DO think Kelly is a Whitney type. She has that clear voice where she can sing out and shine without having to yell and growl and do runs. She has a great figure, a beautiful smile, she’s classy, she’s humble, she can do so much more than just be 1/3 of a group. Don’t get me wrong, i can’t wait for the day when all 3 Chirrun of Destiny regroup and record again (ya’ll know its finna happen in ’09) but Kelly, i just KNOW she can find her niche in the industry somewhere. There are toooooo many no talent biatches crowding the airwaves, tv screens and other media for this beautiful girl not to get in somewhere.
Kelly, go cover some early 80′s Whitney. Please, homegirl. I know i’m a sarcastic biatch, but don’t let that turn you off. Go make us proud! Gone and dust yourself off and try again!
Kelly, just stop my dear. Travis couldnt even save her on this track..shame.
Why hasnt she been dropped from her label yet?? she sucks just as much as ruben.
THAT WAS WHACK. AND KELLY HAD THE NERVE TO SAY THAT LETOYA CAN’T SING AND IS TONE DEAF…….GUESS THE JOKES ON HER. LOL
26 ur just crazy Kelly has never said anything like that … and if she has please provide proof video and audio … its understandable not 2 like her but some of u r taking it a lil 2 far
I didnt like the song when I first heard it, but now seeing a video put to it………the video brings the song to life. I like it. Its cute. And Kelly looks beautiful.
she just needs to find herself and come out off her shell. she has much more personality than bee who comes off as a machine. kelly seems human. she just needs to stop being so shy and start being more confident. she needs to ditch the knowles and take care of business. also she needs to do more of these types of songs instead of the bee type “don’t you like my booty” songs. i don’t like this song but i respect that she was going for something different than what mainstream artists are doing. i mean ppl are still stuck on that irreplaceable beat (ne-yo & riri, chris brown) and i’m sick of all of that unoriginality. she needs to set herself apart from everyone else and that may not bring her the most money, but at least she can slowly build up a fanbase of ppl who respect her work. it’s better to be respected than to make tons of money
I just wish she would release something more friendlier.. This just doesnt have any power.. Like when I first heard other songs on her album like work, comeback, Love, those songs were like goosebumps songs.. i got goosebumps cuz they were good.. but like this track called Gotsta Go.. If she released that over here that would drive ppl crazy cuz its a strong sassy song.. She would kill them.. Something STrong Gritty.. but she has to dig deep.. and think of something on her own do it alone.. far far far away from mathew and with other creative minds like good producers and writers but she would have to invest her own money into it.
like michelle is doing.. she is working on her shit and making sure SHE LIKES it.
Gosh for getting a collabo with GCH (Gym Class Heroes) she could have done a lot better.
I see why this song is tied to a movie, it will probably play at the closing credits.
Wow an Asterix movie they French are sooo crazy about their Asterix cartoon.
Oh this vid needed more shots of TRAVIS and his bandmates too of course.
I have never commented on a blog. But some of you are taking this too far!!! I can’t stand for anyone to speak negatively about beautiful black women who are remaining positive, respectful, and staying true to what they love and who they are. And not to mention, I REALLY love Kelly!!! I LIKE the song! I love her voice. Her album was amazing!!! She is talented, she is beautiful!!! Everyone is entitled to their opinion about her MUSIC, but keep personal comments to yourself. Kelly, if you are reading this…..SHAKE THE HATERS!!! “We” sit here on these blogs to analyze AND criticize other people because (1) we have nothing going on ourselves!!!! and (2) we know we could NEVER do what you do! SHAKE THE HATERS. You are talented, you are fabulous, you are beautiful!!! You have not made it this far by a mistake. Music is obviously your destiny!! P.S. When are you coming out with a clothing line? Your sense of style is FABULOUS!!! And while you’re at it, your OWN skin care line would help us sistas too!!
DEAR SADAT X,
you sound crazy as hell. But it might not be a bad idea for poor Kelly. It might even work.
I can’t believe how some people can say she can’t sing. That’s crazy! @ #26, It was Beyonce who said that LeToya was tone deaf. I read the article and Kelly is a way better vocalist that LeToya. It’s sad that Kelly’s debut album, Simply Deep, sold more is the US & WW than LeToya’s without a hit. LeToya’s record company just certified it higher. Kelly is a talented vocalist and good dancer. Her management/label is screwing her over. The only good single choice they made was “Like This”. Ms. Kelly is very underrated, as is she. There were so many good songs and potential hits. Such as, Come Back, Work, & Still In Love With My Ex. I don’t know why they are choosing to release “Daylight”, a good album track song, in the US. “Work” could be a WW hit. It’s already doing great overseas. Overall, I’m just tired of the Beyonce comparisons. She’s good and all but people act like that b***h is Jesus or something. Let Kelly be Ms. Kelly.
I like it. Its something different than what beyonce always doin. At least she’s not affraid to go out the box sometimes. Beyonce stick with the same genre all the time. For the record kelly rowland cd is that lyck that’s about the only cd i listen to people can learn from Miss Kelly!
#34 Kelly DID have a hit song from her first album and that was “Dilemna”. Her record company rode off the success of that album and THAT is the reason her album sold. You can compare the album sales of Letoya’s album and Kelly’s all you want but at the end of the day Toya had the better album. And Kelly’s bad first album is part of the reason why no one bought her new one. I like Kelly because she’s a great singer and has a great personality but if u wanna make it then u need to get like Toya and steer far away of Matthew. This is just pitiful the way they’re treating you. Open your damn eyes! I hope Michelle has better luck.
Her new CD is banging, but this track is NOT. DOWNGRADE!!
Why is the audio off sync with the video? People hating on this song really have no reason. The re-release was cancelled and this is only for a movie soundtrack.
black people are such haters sometimes…everyone wanna keep comparing her to beyonce..she is not beyonce..let her do her own thing..u people kill me
kelly u have my support in whatever u do..u just tryin to find ur way..like so many other people are in life..some who are commenting on this post…who dont nearly have their shit together like u..
cuz at the end of the day..kelly dont got to do shit but live off her destiny child money…while u all are still on here talkin shit sittin behind ur desk workin ur dead end 9-5..lol….
Kelly I am only saying this because I am a fan of yours as well and I would love to see you succeed. For starters there is no need for you to change your look you are beautiful! What we need to work on is getting you some new material to sing as well as a better promotion deal. I know that you don’t like living in B’s shadow and truth be told I beleive you do not have too. But why not pay her and let her write your songs. For instance “Bad Habit” beautiful song, loved it and you sang it but B wrote it yah see what I’m saying.. it was a hit, right… I didn’t purchase Ms. Kelly but I will get the re-release only to support you. But the next album would you please get B or Ne-yo to write your songs if it’s not a hit do not collab!! I’m just sayin tho!! Kelly you have to make better choices about what you putting out for your fans.. I want you to succeed and we all agree that if you could just get better songs with more substance you would be good to go! I know you don’t like to talk about this much but your Cd’s are ever hardly promoted, you may want to look into that as well! I’m only being honest for 08″ Best wishes Kelly!
DANG..i wanted to like it…i really did,,,but its so blaaaaaaah!
kelly’s so beautiful…jus cant find her niche tho
#33, i KNOW it would work! Kelly is gorgeous, she has a beautiful voice, and she’s a really NICE person to boot! If you give her the right material-and i’m not talking ‘club bangers’, i’m talking songs perfectly suited TO HER VOICE like the song “Love” off her latest record, and “Obsession” and the title track of her last record…..the girl can blow. Not 90′s Whitney blow, but 80′s Whitney blow. YES SHE CAN. And contrary to popular belief, Kelly had great promotion, you saw her, i saw her, we all saw her making the rounds all across the world promoting her CD, we all knew it was coming out, we all saw her on CL with lookalike contests, in Vibe Vixen and Essence, on KING magazine, in The Source, on the radio, on the Essence Fest lineup…contrary to what ya’ll say, her Daddy/Manager promotes the hell outta her, don’t think he doesn’t, because a Rowland dollar earned is a Knowles dollar earned and that whole crew from the parents on down to the grandbaby all profit-best believe they WANT her ass to succeed– but her promotion can’t help if the material released isn’t STRONG. She was semi-whack on the BET awards doing Like This in her Wonder Woman wannabe outfit, she was semi-whack on Clash Of The Choirs last month trying to do crazy vocal histrionics on Survivor with her choir….her live performances alone need for her to WORK (Yes, work…put it in. Take yo’ own advice Kelendria! LOL!)
I KNOW in my heart that Kelly has a talent in SOME damn area that will knock muthafcukas onto they asses. I KNOW she does. The girl is too sweet, too smart, too talented, been in this business too LONG (ten years, people!) to let her locomotive run out of steam. She needs either the right MATERIAL, and to learn how to sing OUT and be CONFIDENT on her own on a stage and make people sit up and PAY ATTENTION, or she needs to cop a TRL hosting gig, or some kind of sitcom like Eve and Brandy have done before her….or she needs to holla at the bruthas chasing her and cop another ring and have some pretty babies like she wanted to do a few years ago with her Ex. Homegirl will KILL it on the next Destiny’s Child album, whenever we get ne, just like she did with her solos on the last DC record. But until that time comes? She’s got to find her niche. I know she can.
I’m still gone keep begging her to cover Whitney. Saving All My Love For You! DO IT!! I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Kelly!! DO that one! S/hit, pick Any Whitney Track off her first 3 records, call up Arista records and get the green light and GO! (Sorry to reference yo sister, but i just had to do it.) Don’t make us fans of yours come after you, now. Girl, we will find you and drag you back into a studio if we have to. Don’t think we won’t. Some of us are Ghetto.
*raises eyebrows*
This is the only one of her songs that I’ve heard thus far that I’ve liked, and I’m a kelly fan. I can’t see hwere all the negativity is comming from in here. I want to say it’s valid but people don’t need a reason to be negative so the jury’s still in on that one.
On second thought. People are haters in general, it’s natural nomatter how much people like to admit it so all the negativity expressed towards kelly on these blogs as every one now can read has effected their opinion of her becuase people are like sheep. blogger rights about how kelly has a complex and is comfortable in B’s shadow and dumbass will subliminally incorperate that into their comments.
I think people have to admit out of all of her midtempo jams becuase all her singles have been just that, this has to be the best.
funny how if we don’t like something we’re some hating black folks. i don’t have to like everything black folks put out. and i don’t. including this. kelly is gawgeous and has a nice voice and is certainly a talent, but i just don’t like this song.
The video looks great, very exciting.
This song is for the grown and sexy. Its rockin and groovin at the same time, just like we women who know what we like, like it. That’s right, I said ROCKIN’ AND GROOVIN.’ I know that’s going over most of ya’lls heads. Take a bite, but don’t hurt yourselves!
This is it Kelly! This is the song black women with money will buy. That’s the demographic to go for anyways. We’re not fickle.
I should have said that this is a song that black women with money AND class will buy. I can hear the chickenheads squawking already…
I absolutely love this song. Its my new ringtone and errythang. Video is a little “meh,” but it wasnt intented for us.
Ms. Kelly deserves respect, yall. I just hope things get better with her as she re-releases.
Just found the original and I think she did pretty good.

I don’t like it.

new music from Ice cube and faith evans………www.thatstop.blogspot.com
I saw this on tv yesterday and I LOVE it. Kelly gurl doin her thang. I love her! she was so sweet on the show, too. and i cannot wait to see that movie
WHEN YOU ALL GET A CHANCE PLEASE VISIT YOUTUBE.COM AND CHECK OUT HER PERFORMANCES AT THE ‘HOUSE OF BLUES’…THIS WOMAN CAN SING HER ASS OFF!!!!! I DON’T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS AND BOTH HER ALBUMS ARE GREAT AND HAVE SUBSTANCE..IF SOME OF YOU TAKE THE TIME OUT TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC ARTIST PUT OUT IN IT’S ENTIRETY MAYBE THEY WOULD SELL MORE…CHEAP ASSES…GO MS.KELLY!!!!! FU/CK THA’ HATERS DO YOU BABY!!!! AND THE BEYONCE COMPARISONS ARE SO OLD!!!
I think that her voice was good for the song. Yes it a positive song but let us not forget that Kelly is a Ciara on the vocal tip. They might have little range but their voices seem to crack a lot. I do like them both and they are both positive sisters in the game. But truly what else do expect from Kelly. What I want to know is when Michelle is coming out with a album cause she got some pipes on her.
I love her.
Kelly Rowland is a gifted singer.
Not only that, but she’s gorgeous.
However, no matter how gifted you are, if you’re not surrounded with the right people you will never get anywhere.
It’s NO COINCIDENCE that people always saw MORE for Kelly Rowland, because we all can sense she has the potential to blow up. We SEE it, we FEEL it, it’s a FACT that she should have been bigger!
After all this time she hasn’t changed crew, same manager same payroll, there are so many possible reasons, maybe she’s just happy where she is, maybe it’s a contract thing and she can’t get away that easily, or maybe she doesn’t believe in herself and is afraid to fly, maybe she’s afraid of change after being with her only family for so long, or maybe it’s another reason or a combination of some of the reasons I listed.
All I know is that we’re on the outside, you speculate and judge but what do you know about her situation?
I wish she was bigger than that, she should have been bigger than Ciara and Rihanna who are new comers compared to her, but only God knows what’s going on in her life, so God bless her.
I dig this song.I thinks she looks cute as hell in it. She needs better material,timbaland,neyo,kanye will i am,some damn body,maybe she should try to write herself. NO songs from B,Solange,no Jigga, she needs to stand on her own away from them,she’s a grown damn woman now and she needs to grab her life and music career and take control !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is an overseas song and it fits the vibe, SHE LOOKS GREAT AND I CAN’T WAIT FOR HER TO GET UP ON HER RE-RELEASE!! i think SHE NEEDS TO WORK WITH BRIAN MICHAEL-COX, RODNEY JERKINS, KERI HILSON and get some HITS!!
We’re not knocking Kelly, but if you want us to continue to support u then come with something better. Even if this is only soundtrack for a movie. Beyonce made a soundtrack for her movies and they rocked! (Pink Panther, Check on it video) Whitney Houston made a soundtrack for her movie ( The Bodyguard, I will always love you) So, when people start comparing and saying that Kelly has talent like 2 of the artist I just named then prove it. B/c our 9-5 jobs pay to keep u living the way u do. And people stop making it black people “hating”on eachother thing…b/c its not.
TRAVIS!!! GYM CLASS!!!!..IM SO SO SOOOOOOO DISAPPOINTED IN THESE FELLAS..MY LOVES…4 MAKING NO NO RUINING A HOT RECORD BY PUTTING KELLY ROWLAND ON THIS!!!! HOW THA FU*K DID THIS HAPPEN??!!! UGH!!!..TERRIBLE!!! AND I THINK GYM CLASS KNOWS IT!!! CORNY VID!!
I like this song a lot. However I don’t think that this is going to be a song that will give ms. Kelly the re-release push that b-day had. Its going to get her some MTV airplay with the gym class heroes connection and all but I thought the purpose of releasing the album again was to make more people want to buy it by adding something hot. Its whatever. I agree 100% with Sadat X. Kelly is one of the nicest sweetest coolest people to be around. She is beautiful and funny, and the girl can sing for real. I want the best for her.
WHAT?

THAT WAS WHACK. AND KELLY HAD THE NERVE TO SAY THAT LETOYA CAN’T SING AND IS TONE DEAF…….GUESS THE JOKES ON HER. LOL
_____________________________________________________________________
I agree, especially sinceLetoya’s album went platinum. Kelly can’t even sell 500,000 copies. Such a shame.
