    This sound like a typical electro/pop song. Not real dance music at all.
    Kelis is the only mainstream artist who is making real dance music and making great dance music at that. Kelly need to stop trying so hard and do her.

    LOVES IT……..

    All these people saying Kelly has found her niche are delusional because Kellly tried to sing R&B and POP but could not cut it! Anytime an artist goes Dance Techno it is because the suck in the U.S and has exhausted all other possibilities! It is funny how artist like Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna and Alicia Keys can sell out arenas in America, Europe and other countries but Kelly and her kind can’t even fill up a club in neither country but yet her delusional fans want people with common sense to believe that she is some big power house internationally…LOL! And by the way, Mr. David Guetta needs to step his producer game up because he sucks…he has the same simple drum sound on every song! When this techno trend vanishes because contrary to belief it will not be that popular…what will Kelly and other non successful artists like her who are trying to market their music towards the gays do then? This song is totally garbage and my opinion has nothing to do with being a hoodrat because Kelly ain’t no suburban queen for those of you who don’t know!

    @ Jscene I agree what the fuck is this. I’m a huge fan of destiny child and I’m always rooting for Kelly but she needs to fire her PR Team and hire new people ASAP, because this song sounds awful but I bet the dragqueens love it, but I don’t.

  5. what in the hell?

    @22 Century
    Both Kelly and Kelis suck so don’t try to act like Kelis is some dance techno genius because vocally she can’t hold a candle to Ms. Kelly! Kelis is as wack as it gets and she will flop again because this type of music is nothing new for her non singing talentless a** and no one supported her then! Kelly over Kelis anyday!

  6. DARKAQUA

    ATTENTION KELLY MANAGEMENT TEAM(CAUSE I KNOW YOU WILL BE READING THESE RESPONSES)

    KELLY NEEDS PROMOTION, PROMOTION, PROMOTION!!! THIS SINGLE ACTUALLY SHOULD HAVE PREMIERED ON DANCING WITH THE STARS OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT OTHER THAN A RANDOM LEAK!!

    AND THE VIDEO NEEDS TO BE OUT OF THIS DAMN WORLD….SHE NEEDS TO GO HARD OR JUST STAY OVERSEAS!

  7. LISZA

    @JEAN

    Maybe in America this sound is for the “gays” but other parts of the world has everyone, straight, gay, bent or whatever into this sound. Been that way for years so cut it with the gay ish…use your passport at least once then talk some more.

    All the artists you mentioned above have been freaking with this sound for years. Check some of their album tracks and better yet, check some of their remix tracks. They just scared to fully diversify like miss Kelly. So fukckin what if she experiments!

    Last time I checked, ya’ll were the same people praising Rihanna for stepping into new grounds…and how long it took her to convince America that her sound was cool…so back the effin off and let miss Kelly grow artistically. She’s leaving in Europe and will naturally move to the sound of her environment.

    Back the fukck off! This is not Destiny’s child so stop whining already!! Been dead for so many years!!! LOL.

    at first I was excited to hear the song because I heard the chorus on that youtube video of her performing it. when I listened to it last night I was mad ass hell and let the fuck down I so mad at kelly because the song didn’t sound as epic as i thought it was I kept wanting to like it so i kept playing it feeling let down again and again until this morning I finally played the song and cut it up as loud as my computer speakers could go and this shit is EPIC!!!!

  9. Is it me or......

    I absolutely love this song; Kelly is definitely bringing the hawtness! I can already see the video in my head.

  10. NothingButTheTruth

    Work out, Kell!

  11. TheMan

    listening to that song made me feel like i was in a room with a disco ball and laser light with guys on skates with short shorts on and no shirt.

  12. TheSkorpion

    I absolutely love the song. The only thing I wonder about is if American radio will
    play it. The way I see it if they playing Lady Gaga, Ke$ha and Rihanna,
    this song should fit right in. IInternationally they are going to eat this song the fuck up. I feel sorry for “When Love Takes Over”

  13. shahron39

    Good music for exercising to – other than that its nothing special. Kelly’s got a good voice but nothing she has done since destiny’s child has really appealed to me.

  14. Suga Mama

    YES….. LOVE THIS, GO Kelly, she should stick to dance music….

  15. Gina

  16. JJ

    @ CriticalThinker

    LMBAO that hood rat village statement is genius. I have to start using that. Anyway I do agree this may be a more Euro hit than US but time will tell. Kelly is doing the best she can.

  17. Gia

    Go head Kelly, it’s about time she got it right.

  18. SayItLoud

    I love love Kelly. She been my favorite DC. I love her voice but this techno sound is not doing her justice. Keep the song, ditch that techno beat. Management ppl. do better for Kelly, please.

    Do not mess her uppppppppp!

  19. Texas Girl

    She got the gays… who else does she need lol? But seriously, this song is really fun… I can get my Madonna on :)

    *and FYI “music experts”… I’m sure her marketing team knows exactly what they’re doing, she’s making double the $ overseas and living like an effin queen

    Go Kells

  20. CARLOS

    wow hot song. I really like it (:

  21. Sira

    Go Kelly! Can’t wait to see the video! I think Smooches should be released as well (have 2 singles out) just to gain the urban audience..

  22. Tamika

    it’s pretty funny. that people are saying that she needs to do better. when she’s winning the poll for having a hot single voted by 949 people and not hot is the lowest mind you Kelly may have some loony toon as stans but its not that many and then you have to factor in that as long as I been coming to concreteloop 2005 Kelly rowland has never won a poll for anything music wise (ofcourse because most people love to hate her) so Basically the song is a hit
    I always liked Kelly I just felt she was handed some nice songs But nothing mega until when love takes over and now this commander song They been handing her iight music for the longest now she’s messing with the big doggs and it sounds hot Anyone who says that this song isn the most professional song she has done outside of her collaborations is a liar
    her best single choice to date

  23. neon

    i hated “when love takes over” but i LOVE this. i feel like i haven’t heard good techno in a while aside from “sexy chick” and a couple of other songs. i guess all of the good tracks don’t make it here to america? i mean i look for music online so idk but this is a great move for kelly. american radios will like this b/c they already play dance music (gaga, “disturbia”, kesha). i mean 103.5 will love it and i think z100 will too. isn’t that all you need.

    no offense but who is checking for urban radio? there’s no variety there & most album sales are from whites so that’s her target audience and they’ll love this track. she doesn’t need hot97 or whatever to be successful. she can bypass and go straight for the big dogs

  24. Danger

    I actually like this song, this may put Kelly back into the running. If this were Beyonce yelling on the track most you drones would love it and so on, but everytime someone comes out with music its not good enough. Kelly has a hit on her hands and dont jump on the bandwagon when you start hearing it on the radio.

  25. Blasian

    I love it.! But leave Beyonce out of this cuz like I said when Beyonce comes back she’s going to kill it you know it and I know it don’t fool yourself just call her 16 Grammys.

    But Kelly has a Hit on her hands

  26. BEN A. FAN

    KELLY ROWLAND HAS FOUND HER THANG!!! DANCE MUSIC IS DEFINITELY HER NICHE!!!! THIS SONG IS AMAAAAAZING!

  27. ny21

    Coming from NYC, our top 40 radio (Z100) will definitely play this. They played the crap out of When Loves Takes Over and played Sexy Bitch to death. Sexy Bitch did pretty well in America for being techno and this is pretty close to a female version, urban-type lyrics with dance production. I don’t think this is a song just for the gay crowd in the states, whoever quoted Jersey was on the money, the guidos will be fist pumping to this. Europe’s out of the question they’ll eat this up. She left her urban fans and I can’t really blame her, she gets not love from them. And she made pretty crappy R&B music, whoever called it cheap was right. Her debut had some cheap-ass sounding music, Ms. Kelly did too and those videos for that CD were pathetic. Besides Dance is getting hot in America now, and I think it’s becoming the sound pop singers are clinging to instead of Urban. Hell look at trend-biters like Madonna, she’s done trying to rap, she’s working with Guetta now. This is a smart move for America too- if you were in a club, black, white, gay, straight with a drink your hand on the dance floor, you’d dance to this.

  28. notadummy

    TRASH!!! FOR OVERSEAS ONLY

  29. MismiAMI

    Hold up!
    Ms Kelly r&B music was really good. It just wasn’t promoted right she had some really great songs on that Ms Kelly album some real hot songs I loved that album and I am not the only one to give that album praise But I will agree that this sound brings out a side of her that is a lot more interesting than her urban side it gives her a certain umph she is a lot more interesting doing this sound and she’s got me hooked I’ll buy it yes I will!

  30. sunnysouthbunny

    Horrible!!!!

    May be hot in one of those foreign countries she’s adapted too… but damn it hurts my ears…

    Letme hurry up and finish commenting so I can scroll to the top and stop this pain!!!!

  31. OJIEKING

    this song is fuckingawesooooooooooome. Kelly baby, you can be my commander from here on out! leaides and gentlemen, we have a numer 1 record

  32. Jay

    Kelly Rowland’s new single is a MONSTER HIT. This is an instant favorite.
    Great mix of Pop/Dance and a slight touch of Urban edge.
    The concept is pretty good (DJ being her bodyguard and the whole metaphor).
    Her pronunciation is on top.
    The vocals are fiyah.
    And the whole song is efficient : intro, outro, verses, bridge… And that chorus !
    Thank you Kelly for that great party – yet very detailled – song. Shout out to David Guetta and Rico Love who did their thang.
    COMMANDER #1 HERE WE GO !!!

  33. Jazz

    Is this on Itunes yet?

  34. Katy

    #8 – YOU’RE THE ONE THAT’S IRRELEVANT

    Beyonce is more relevant than you when not on the scene than you are on your best day.

    Gaga wanted to work with her in Videophone and it worked out to put Beyonce on Telephone. ALL A-LIST ARTISTS WANT TO WORK WITH BEYONCE. Kick rocks with opened toed shoes you dumb twit.

  35. gina

    the song is hot KL have a #1 H!t W.W

  36. gina

    the song is hot KL have a #1 H!t W.W

  37. Ghetto Fab

    @ Katy

    No sweety its the other way around. Beyawnse and her team (daddy) begged Gaga to hop on that track. Gaga was nice enough to oblige and pay her back by adding her to her next single. A single where that screaming banshee was not needed. The song woulda sell off without her so it didn’t matter. She was just along for the ride. Bey better thank her lucky stars she was on that thing to keep her ass relevant.

  38. Blasian

    Ghetto Fab

    Beyonce needs to stay relevant??? Are you talking about the Woman that just Made Grammys History with 6 wins the Biggest Music Award show in the World are we talking about that Beyonce ??? Stop Foolong yourself Boo Boo it’s not a good look. You can never forget Beyonce

  39. Blasian

    And for the Record everyone wants to work with Beyonce. Do you know how many people are waiting for Beyonce to start working on her Next Album? This girl Just Made HISTORY

    Kelly will Never be bigger that Beyonce there isn’t any Artist Bigger than Beyonce

  40. los

    Wow Kelly has a worldwide hit with that song!! I love it!!! I cant wait to get this album!! She has finally become the star I knew she could be!!!

  41. LULU

    I think this will do better overseas than here, and if it does, clearly more for the Pop crowd cause I can’t see Urban radio playing this unless the beat is slowed down and there is a rapper on it. No offense to Kelly, but she is not the total package. She has the pipes but that’s about it. Her image is whack and whoever she is working with now needs to emphasize to the public that she is her own person and not in Destiny’s Child’s or Beyonce’s shadow, that she can hold her own. Musically I think she needs to reintroduce herself with something less busy and beat driven, and focus more on her strength as a vocalist. I wish her the best nonetheless.

  42. Kellz

    I like it. It’s a pretty decent dance track.

  44. dave

    Love it! I think Kelly is heading down the right direction FINALLY. Yes, it’s has that European pop influence but that’s where her market it the strongest but since that music is being integrated more and more on this side of the ocean I think this might actually garner her some success here as well.

  45. cedric

    I do not know what to say when I saw the first one I live in too but now we love listening to her tonight is that my sister wake up screaming she’s kelly Killed Killed, I thought she had died, while she said the song is out.when I listen I can swear that the download is already in my phone to my school tomorrow its going to swing.
    kelly is not beyonce so stop comparing it to every time, if the USA do not accept the talent you just want her bitches showing their tits, their asses and that changes the color of their skin are talking about the beyonce queen and her princess Rihanna, then it’s good for you
    but at least we were in london for true artist who sings with the voice and have the talent and when it is his love, so who cares is not the U.S. mainland king of music when see all the bitch you create shit;
    kelly from today is a European and it will kill the dancefloor

  46. AWJ12687

    LMAO @ them removing the track. I was gonna try and give it another listen since everybody feels it’s such a hit but guess I won’t be following the masses again. LOL even Z-Share wasn’t feelin it doe.

  47. JDU8886

    Kelly killed it. Song of the Year hands down and haters down even further!!!

  48. RORO

    This song is hot Kelly has found her voice. LOVE IT

  49. luvbug

    #75…….UR VOCABULARY IS VERY LIMITED, HUH? U SOUND LIKE RAYMOND “THE FROG” FROM MOVIE “PRINCESS AND THE FROG”. LOOK WAT CHA DUN DIIIIID………..MADE ME CHIP MY FAVURRRRRROTTTE TOOTH.

  50. shanelle

    err, isn’t it the same UK that rude boy was #2 and telephone was #1? british ppl don’t care about talent, or else Cheryl Cole will NEVER have gotten a #1 single.
    As long as u’ve got the looks, and a good beat..u’re bound to succeed over here.
    And for the record, beyonce’s largest fanbase is in the UK…they’re obsessed wiv her! Although in her case, it’s because she’s unbleivably talented! She’s one of the few ppl actually loved, solely because of how talented she is

  51. meme76

    It was good up until that second verse…I had to turn it off after the horrible lyrics. She can’t afford to have a throwaway verse, either. So…I’m thinking that was tragic.

  52. Falisha

    yall try to hard Kelly rowland aint stuntin you fronting washed up carpet munching hoez she got a hit and yall wenches is just maaaaad!!

  53. PARIS

    THE POLL RESULTS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>UR STANK ASS OPINION

    KELLY WON! YOU LOST

  54. Ghetto Fab

    Kelly won so it really doesn’t matter! She slayed! And will continue to slay especially when the video drops!

    Those of you idiots saying it won’t be a hit are the same idiots singing to KeSha, Gaga, and that Taio Cruz song. They are all the same genre idiots! Get a clue

    And lmao at the hood rat village comment lol.

    Kelly just commanded all these hoes to dance. She just snatched some wigs with this one!

  55. HtownHero254

    I like it! I’m more open-minded to different types of music outside of RnB and Rap. Great voice, nice beat, and this will be hot in Gay/Techno clubs.

  56. Silver

    1st Hot. 2nd not only in UK or Europe but also in The Middle East & Asia the song will b #1 only the us god knows 4 what reason u don’t like this song it purely talent and Kelly was amazing and David guetta is only trying to introduce to u Americans a new genre of music instead of making fun of it be open minded and give yourself a chance to really hear it BTW David guetta was voted the #1 house DJ in Europe so back off and be open minded I’m from Egypt and we love David & Kelly so don’t be closed on yourself and try to explore other cultures without being judgmental coz u are ignorant and im not insulting u us citizens I’m just stating a fact
