Nelly & Kelly (Rowland) Team Up / Preview Song!
Ever ‘in-the-know’ as to what popping off with Kelly Rowland’s project (“Sam, the man, the Kelly Rowland stan” lol), we’ve had knowledge of a new Nelly and Kelly’s collaboration for some time now. However, the pair finally lifted the lid on the until-now hush-hush song – their first collabo since their Grammy Award winning smash ‘Dilemma’ back in 2002. Said to be produced by Jim Jonsin and penned by Rico Love (who we interviewed last night…hold tight for that one!), the song, which you can hear in the video above, sounds H-O-T! As one of many who are overly amped for Kelly’s 3rd album, 2010 couldn’t come any sooner for me! Go Kelly!
Your thoughts?

god i said this back in 2002 and im going to say it again 7 yrs later – their hemistry is undeniable and it stumps me that they havent dated – him and ashanti was such a bad combo to me – just didnt seem happy together and you see what happened with them – they really look happy together to me and i think that kelly is definently in a space now where she could possibly benefit from the budding of a new fresh relationship to coincide with her new found independence!!!!! plus they r soooooo cute together and the kiss on the cheek was priceless………….
as for the song….
PURE FIYAH and definetly deserving of the title of Dilemma part 2 – the hook was so beautiful and defiently cathcy – the beat is very urban and kelly brings the pop side to it! i can really see it doint big things as longs as its promoted properly and with nelly based in the states and kelly on the international appeal the hit is guranted success – im loving the crisp strong vocals from ms kelly who seems to be using the real voice in a positve way – love the emotion and power and can apprciaciate her voice in full form!!! cant wait for 2010 as i can see this hit as being a summer smash – and wit bey out the picture (probably dont matter neway) she will surely be a summer smash – itll be interesting to see too how kelly’s album will differ seeing as how she is taking the rnb dance route and then seamlessly switching over to rnb/pop all during the same summer – two hits with two totally diff markets dominating the world at the same time international – who can……ONLY MS KELLY CAN!!!! WOOORRRKKKKKKKK!!

I agree Lyric_Lee….Nelly and Kelly they just have that connection and it’s funny how both of their relationships have failed.
I love Kelly soooooo muchand want nothing but success for her and Nelly is one of the Best selling Rapper’s of all time…Not to mention he is sexy as all hell LOL ! ! ! And them lips oh my…LOL moving on LOL
I hope this will blow up….I know it will with the right video promotion ETC…..
Go head Kelly ! ! ! !
Next on Kelly’s list is Keri Hilson watch…That is going to be one hell of a Collabo…Kelly isn’t dumb…Beyonce’ and Alicia Collab it’s ok……BUT if KELLY and KERI hook-up……pure FIRE ! ! ! ! ! ! !

One of the reasons why “DIlemma” was so hot was because Nelly was on top of his game at the time and Kelly was too with Destiny’s Child. Now both of them are C-List at best in the U.S.
The song is going to have to have a hella catchy hook to be a hit here. In my opinion it comes off as a contrived attempt to recreate their most successful song instead of taking a chance and pushing themselves creatively, but I’ve never been a fan of either anyway.

From the clip it so cute but outdated.. like Janet and Nelly “call on me” or “dl part 1″.. lOOKIN for something fresh but this well remind people of the OLD Kellys .. GOOD SHOT.

I’m loving the song. I ‘m a fan of the both of them. And I’ve always supported them both and will continue to support them. Nelly is very sexy! and I’m loving Kelly. I can’t wait until 2010.

I don’t care what anyone says, Kelly has come a very long way. While with Mathew I don’t think she accomplished much. In her short time apart from management and bey, you can honestly see that there is a big diffrence. She exudes confidence and seems to be in a happier place. I don’t see it as contrived, if it’s a hit, (which it sounds like one) I see her starting 2010 with alot of publicity and dominating the market as she should have done with Ms. Kelly, which was leaked before it’s initial debut. Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm………………………..

Man this song is going straight to Number One trust and believe i have already started humming the song from the preview. For those who say it is outdated…….. not whatsoever it sounds nothing like Call on Me and nothing like Dilemma pt. 1 this is totally different and fresh. Kelly’s vocals are so strong and clear they do have a hit with this one.

OMG i cannot WAIT for this to be released and the video needs to be so hot. I know it will be. Their chemistry is so great and I wonder why they never got together, Maybe it will change in 2010 lol. But of course u know there will be Jay and Bey comparisons. Bump that tho cuz Kelly is focused on her career now more than ever and I am lovin this song. Like Nelly said this is definately Dilemma Pt2. And when this comes out it shud go straight to #1 and maybe even win them another Grammy or two lol like the first one did. I am so proud of her new confidence and I am proud of Nelly for stayin wit his music. This needs to be on bothe their albums tho like Dilemma was and shud be her first single just switched up a lil with her version havin more of her vocals on it. 2010 Kelly is comin and I love it.
