Lyrics is too repetitious. It is hard seeing her in this genre. Good luck Kelly, she looks so forced in the video upon close up shots. The other scenes when she is walking on the beech is nice. I am now confused of what age group she is marketing to? I hear those type of songs on my Sirius radio on the Chill channel.

She looks beautiful and the song is cute, but she is going to have to put in more work to rectify the damage Papa Knowles has done to her career. I hope she makes it.

I swear I don’t know what happened to her career: At the beginning she was starring in movies Freddie Kruger. Singing duets with Nelly… She was really ascending. But all of a sudden, she just fell immediately. It was like the Knowles Camp stopped all the endorsements and put Beyonce in instead. Then Beyonce started to get ALL the acting gigs.

I’m SO Happy for kelly that she left knowles cult & SELFISH beyonce
However I heard pimp Matty knowles advised beyonce to not talk to kelly, Don’t worry Matty Michele is on her way out too sooner than later

Beyonce have screwed her homegirls over. She has even s.h.ited on Older Legends (Etta James, Aretha). She constantly bites the style of her more talented peers.
She refused to offer condolences to JHud’s tragic loss, she constantly lies.
She’s uneducated and insecure. BUT aside from all this, AT LEAST she got money! This is the only thing that matters in this life to hell with how you treat other people I guess. SMH. This girl could be Hitler in the flesh and black folks will still idolize her

This is a interesting direction, it has definite appeal. Love the eye make-up and it seems that she may be able to draw in a new following as far as “the fam” goes. I love her any way, she’s now free to have her own influence on her own destiny and not just be one that use to be in “Destiny”. Good luck lady.

Ummmm..Kelly’s still trying? That deserves huge lighted up LMAO!, From me.
And Umm.. this song is a hot tacky mess. First she attemps to be Beyonce and fails miserably, and now she’s clearly yearning to be like Lady Gaga and umm….as we all see….she fails at this too.
I suggest she finds her way to “FMYLIFE.COM” to report her life story. LMAO!

HOWEVER, let me say that she does look beautiful in the video but I still don’t like it. I know she;s trying to be different but it is not working for her. The whole techno sounding music is just a huge NO NO.
And I hate when people continuously blame Beyonce for Kelly and Michelle’s failing careers. Beyonce has not a thing to do with their careers, at all. Her father yes, but her no. Beyonce does not control the fact that she is just naturally more appealing than Kelly and Michelle combined. You fans can convince yourself otherwise but the facts will remain the facts.
I mean get real. It is so obvious that both Kelly and Michelle depended on Beyonce to carry them into the spotlight. She’s was literally the Mommy of Destiny’s Child. Which is why, when they split up, Beyonce was the one taking risks and doing what she can to make a name for herself. It has nothing to do with Matthew only wanting Beyonce to succeed because if Kelly and Michelle really wanted the same thing and knew that they were being treated unfairly, they would’ve left him a LONG TIME AGO. But, fact is, they were to scared to leave under Beyonce’s wing, it is quite evident.
OH AND BTW, Michelle has more potential the Kelly.

I think this song is awesome. Her voice is beautiful to me and always has been. I think she will do very well under new management. I think Beyonce has had her time to shine now it’s Kelly’s turn, and who ever else wants to. LeToya Luckett seems to be doing pretty well with her music as well. I think we should just continue to show her support and stop degrading her talent and stop comparing her to Beyonce!

Kelly Rowland doesn’t care if America doesn’t embrace it. That’s why she took that RISKE’ route, teamed up with a French DJ (who’s said to be one of the greatest in the world and has impacted Europe and Asia), she doesn’t care if people don’t like her anymore at home just because she’s not what “we” think she should be. Europe and Asia are less fickle (let’s keep it real), more open minded, and they’re ready for her, so she can party with the rest of the world and make that cash regardless of what happens in America. I commend Kelly for freeing herself, leaving bad management, you can definitely see that she’s moving on and taking control of her life. No matter the result she won, because she’s now the puppeteer and no longer the puppet. She’s doing what she wants. GO MISS KELLY!

I so love it!. I think Kelly has found her niche. This is givin me very “international” type, which is only a positive thing for Kelly. I love kelly’s albums but i’m not mad at girlfriend for doing a house/dance track (i’m a closeted house fan, so I’m diggin it!!!)..WOOO WHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! GO KELLY!!!

@ 29: Excellent logic behind Kelly…However, she will lose alot of her fan base going in this direction in the US…Well anyways, as long as she is happy and sure of herself. If she #1 over there great cause she was not getting anywhere here. After the Beyonce hype goes maybe she will be back. You r right she was the level headed one of destiny child. Beyonce was the insecure one and Michelle was the akward misfit one of the group. I cannot wait till someone write a tel all book. I wish I was a fly on the wall. I bet Matthew did her just dirty…. Look at all the other artist Music World out out. Sunshine Anderson is not going NOWHERE!! It is only about Beyonce. Period…

@Ms. AKA
Yet again..you guys continue to say “it is all about Beyonce that is why every artist on Columbia Records is getting no where”. Now, I do honestly believe that there is a bit of truth in that. However, I don’t think it had any affect on the way Kelly and Michelle turned out, I mean HONESTLY.
Some people have it and some people don’t. Beyonce has the IT factor which is why she has been #1 in the media for 12 straight years, and you know it. It is not because her DADDY is shoving her and only her down our throats. For Beyonce to stay this hot for this long, WE would have to accept her exposure. Just think about it. Whether you think Beyonce is “overesposed” or “overrated” OBVIOUSLY there are still people on this world who LOVE seeing Beyonce on every Magazine every month, or every other make-up commercial, or on every other tag in the mall, or even every other video or song on TV or the radio. The fact is, people want to see Beyonce, she keeps us entertained. As much as you may not like her, you know she keeps us entertained.
Go on ANY black gossip site and tell me who is the person that generates the most conversations/comments? Beyonce. Now, if she was so “unwanted but is being shoved down our throats” people would have LONG TIME gotten tired of her and she would be a nobody by now.
As for Kelly and Michelle, people just don’t care. So it is not about how much promotion they have, it is about where they fall the the “it factor” list. Some people have it and some people don’t, Kelly and Michelle quite frankly don’t. Sorry.

sunshine anderson was dropped after her last cd flopped..
@ Tiff Will
i totally agree…some have it some dont. dont blame beyonce or anyone else. I think kelly is doin exactly what she should be doing. Catering to an international crowd…where she can make some bread
to all those commenting she wont go anywhere here in the US its because of people like you who already have counted her out instead of showing support.
Crabs in a barrell–thats all ima say

@ Bey Forbes..
Yeah I know. But it is not like I am trying to “hate” on Kelly, it is just that she is not that apealing to me, that’s all. There is nothing about her that I haven’t seen before or that I want to see again which is why I am not a fan. Of course I want her to suceed but I so far….I wouldn’t call that succeeding.

kelly looks great, but she always does! i always thought she was pretty in spite of the ugly red weave in the hair look. the song is ok, but not my cup of tea. very euro; very techno & i hate techno, but doesn’t she have a big following in europe or at least in england? anyway, i agree with tiff.will. it’s not beyonce’s fault about michelle & kelly’s careers not skyrocketing like her own. yes, her dad did dick them over & i’m glad they dumped his ass, especially kelly because that “i’m fawning & falling the fukk all over the knowles like a needy puppy” was so not a good look for her. michelle, i like her, but she can not sing!!! kelly can sing, but her material is so beyond corny. they’ve all been in the business for a minute now and they have their own musical styles. beyonce definitely has a lot of haters and i think she’s ok, but there’s no denying that she is a worldwide superstar.

Great video…love the song…they will rock this song in clubs across the globe and cruise ships everywhere, for sure!!!
Kelly is trying something new…it’s either dance, gospel, pop or country music if an artist wants to sell records since black people don’t buy much music and are stuck on having one or two artists at a time or take glee in an artist falling off…it’s retarded and quite sad…it takes time to come out of the background…look how long it took for her to even wear longer length hairstyles…how many women never change their hair style, especially, when they’re fashionable, in show business and got plenty of loot?
DC was formed because it’s easier for an artist to come out of a group and skyrocket than as an individual artist and she was indeed the standout, purposely so…Kelly is in a good place and she has enough fame and fortune to take her through a successful career…that’s the potential…her days with DC was a blessing that she played a major role in making happen…everybody came out a WINNER…as her confidence increases, so will her demonstrations…so haters, stop thinking or waiting for her or any other celebrity to fail because in likelihood they won’t end up where you are!

Same thing happened pretty much for Jospehine Baker, they weren’t really feeling her over here in the states so she went to Europe and became huge, even after she became huge overseas and came back they still weren’t trying to hear, so kudos to you Kelly and anyone else trying to reach their dreams somebody always has something to say so keep doing what God put you here to do!!! Surround yourself with positivity and go where the love is

GO Kelly!! This song is for sure going to be a huge hit! iT’S Already number one on the dance tracks( yup believe it or not it took the number one spot from beyonce),and its skyrocketing on the pop charts,and the other video to the song has gotten almost 3 million views on youtube!!!! You looked great in the video!!! Forget what the haters say,youre the one who’s a millionaire and has sold nearly 4 million records ,and they’re the one on the computer watching your videos to find something negative to say and working for 7 dollars an hour lol Keep up the good work Kelly!!!

I’m Canadian and this is AB-SO-LU-TE-LY going to be a hit over here, Europe and Asia (like some of u already said)!!! I love David Guetta, everything he touches turns into gold, and this is the wisest move she couldve done by working with him! House music is really big and damn right she’s gonna make a lot of $$$! The video is quite boring, but the song as already many remixes out and already playing in many clubs! Can’t wait for his album due in august and hopefully her’s soon! I’m planning on buying BOTH! Good Job Kelly!

@30 Co sign 100%. I’ve noticed for years now how many artists overlooked and under rated here are appreciated and supported overseas. Oh well it’s our (U.S.) loss and their (overseas) gain.

I don’t understand when ppl say Kelly failed. That fact that she has music videos and collaborations with international artistes should be proof that she’s still thriving. If someone’s still paying for her music videos, then she must be doing something right.

I usually love Kelly’s sense of style but I’m not loving the baby hair lace front, nor the makeup.
I tried to get on the Kelly bandwagon, but her voice isn’t very good to me, and her music is even less interesting.
I wish her the best though. I want her to succeed, I love her personality and I think she is gorgeous

Can we please get real and stop blaming beyonce for everything!! The reality is there has never been anything that great about kelly that would ever make the media take notice..The girl is pretty, can sing..and umm umm I cant come up with anything else. get over the fact that the media much preferred beyonce as evidenced by those o f you who continue to talk crap about a woman that you know nothing about intimately!
