New Video: Kelly Rowland – ‘Commander’

Published: Tuesday 1st Jun 2010 by Trent

Kelly Rowland’s ‘Commander’ video is finally here! The clip was directed by Masashi Muto in support of the song which serves as the 1st international single from Rowland’s upcoming yet-to-be-named LP which hits stores on September 14th. Check it out below:

Rowland seems to have borrowed elements of Janet Jackson’s ‘Feedback‘ and Madonna’s ‘Vogue’ for this one. While definitely her best clip to date, the drawbacks of the green screen were very apparent Some of the  imagery looked almost unfinished; certainly not representative of the large budget afforded for the video’s production. Furthermore, the purpose of producer David Guetta and songwriter Rico Love in the clip seems unclear and almost unnecessary. However, Rowland looked as beautiful as ever and delivered the energy to make the video enjoyable.

    There’s only ONE Janet Jackson swagger jacker, b****, and that’s Ciara! The dance sequence in particular just screams “Feedback”.

  2. iamfreshflavor June 1, 2010

    ok?

  3. iamfreshflavor June 1, 2010

    ok? I was thinking there would be a major dance breakdown after she jumped through the glass, but the video ended. Im not going to judge but…..OK? o.O

  4. BeyonceBreezy June 1, 2010

    Honestly i loved it ♥

  5. justin_Sofly June 1, 2010

  8. JOE FRANCO June 1, 2010

    OMG!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO, KELLY YOUR AMAZING

  9. Rob June 1, 2010

    4 out of ten , kelly looked gd , but she didnt go hard enough , where lose my breath kelly , there was a few cute moves in the video but for the pace of the song , and the message she is trying to convey it didnt work ,

  10. roadsareendless June 1, 2010

    um…it was…different.

  11. TeamWayne June 1, 2010

    i dont think that the video is finished.

  12. Kara June 1, 2010

    I loved evey single second of it If you don’t like this video you can jump ship right f****** now.
    you aint got to watch or listen to kelly rowland another day in your life people complain to damn much people wanted her to dance well there she danced now what’s the problem at the end of the day this song is either going to go places or not if it does or doesn’t it don’t matter to me Because I enjoyed. Remember this you made the decision to sit down and watch a Kelly Rowland video no one forced you respect the music if you went in not likeing the song but still watched the video than you have a f****** mental problem. If you like the song then who gives a damn about a video. Either you like Kelly rowland or you don’t!

    if you don’t like her by now then please do her a favor and don’t try to force yourself to like her.
    Love the videk Kelly you showed your ass on this one!

  13. Jamaican Bouy June 1, 2010

    MAYBE I WAS TOO EXCITED TO SEE THIS VIDEO, WE KNOW SAM IS UPSET ALSO, C HE DIDNT EVEN COMMENTED! I FEEL U PAIN TOO SAM, AM SOOOO TEAM KELLY BUT REALLLY NOW, ITS BETTER THAN HALF THE VIDEOS FOR BEYONCE IASF RECORD (eg. EGO)

    BUT KELLY THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE UR COMING OUT VIDEO, FIRST ONE AWAY FROM THE KNOWLES CHAMP……………….THIS WAS NOT IT!!!!

    GRANTED IT WAS GOOD, BUT NOT GOOD FOR A FIRST SHOWING. ESP. WHEN WE WERE WARMED UP TO SO MUCH PREVIEWS AD BEHIND THE SCENE, AND KELLY HERSELF TALKING ABOUT THE DIRECTOR SPECIAL SELECTED AND ALL OF THAT

    I JUST HAD TO WATCH IT AGAIN AND COMMENT AGAIN, THERE WAS JUST NOTHING SPECIAL OR OUTSTANDING AOUT THE VIDEO, THE SAME SHOTS IN THE BLACK WAS THE SAME SHWON IN THE PREVIEW………………OMG AM SO SAD!!!!

    I REALLY WANTED HER TO SHAKE HE HATERS OFF WITH THIS ONE

  14. LATE June 1, 2010

    This video is Feedback : The low budget version

  15. genie June 1, 2010

    People apparently there are 3 versions of the video and its clear this is an unfinished version and anywaythe official premiere of the video is supposed to be tommorow so im not gonna make any judgements till I see a finished product!!!

  16. roadsareendless June 1, 2010

    her problem is…like a true aquarian…she is always trying to be different. but that doesnt work most of the time, esp not in the music business. sometimes u just have to go with the flow.

    and that janet video was horrible, so hiring this director was not a good idea!

  17. lebo(Caribbeanboi) June 1, 2010

    was a very cute video ,LOVE IT!! but trust me more is coing, i think she shot the video for the Urban version, due to she said Nelly came thru & michelle & none of them are in this video …

    anyone feelin what i’m saying ?

  18. ADE June 1, 2010

    That was A MESS! I was expecting so much more. I’m so disappointed. This really does look like a bootleg version of Feedback.

  19. Trish June 1, 2010

    Was it really THAT bad? People put to much pressure on her what is she living up to. It’s a great song with a hott video let that woman live.

  20. love it June 1, 2010

    yeah she said its going to be a dance break this is not done!

  21. roadsareendless June 1, 2010

    face it. she is living up to Beyonce.

  22. “Dj Y2k Malone” June 1, 2010

    TOTAL LET DOWN THIS VIDEO LOOKS CHEAP AND SHE’S USING THE SAME GIMMICK AS GAGA AND BEYONCE DO SOMETHING GAY AND YOU WILL GET A FOLLOWING
    IT’S STILL A GREAT SONG BUT THIS VIDEO IS WACK
    AND FOR THE LITTLE KELLY STANS SHE DIDNT COME FOR RIHANNA…..LMAO

  23. NikkiIsChillin June 1, 2010

    I like it! Love her in the red and black costumes. Go Kelly!

  24. Waddie G. June 1, 2010

    It was okay…this is more for the Europeans and Asian who like crappy house music, especially techno…With all the hype here, I expected something epic.

  25. Muni June 1, 2010

    There are 3 verisons of this video , I don’t think this is the final version even if it was is still great video, very futuristic as she always mentioned and I believe there will be 2nd part of video for remix version. GO KELLY, she still has so many videos to do for this album so she cannot give it all for this first one OK?! people stop complaining and enjoy the video.

    KELLY4EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. KingMo June 1, 2010

    Just my opinion, but that video was hot.

  27. “Dj Y2k Malone” June 1, 2010

    @ Muni
    NO NEED TO SPAM THAT IS THE FINAL PRODUCT ……LOL
    TODAY IS A BAD DAY FOR KELLY STANS

  28. jonstrax June 1, 2010

    SO WAIT THERS ANOTHER VIDEO FOR THIS SONG? I HOPE THERE IS I DIDNT LIKE THE WAY THE VIDEO ENEDED. I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED AN EXTRA SET AT THE END WITH KELLY KILLING IT WITH SOME SICK CHOREOGRAPHY . HMMM

    CHECK OUT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT SITE >>> http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK

  29. dakkylove June 1, 2010

    it was a good video..it seems a bit unfinished though.

  30. Emmi3 June 1, 2010

    I am like the biggest Kelly fan on earth and yes even i 2 got a lil dissapointed 🙁
    But still love my girl and all the support for her …i love her fierceness though 🙂

  31. Muni June 1, 2010

    @Dj Y2k Malone OMG why u r so depressing, this video is very good, people now get used to see GAGA doing the lesbian thing, and beyonce shaking her ass, the music industry is not only about that, there are other artists as well and they are bring something different to the table so what. GO KELLY!!!!

  32. SPRING June 1, 2010

    loved it…

  33. cafflo June 1, 2010

    Thatgrapejuice just tryna get hits on their site they know this isn’t the official video… No way no how!

  34. Reasonable Voice June 1, 2010

    I expected more punch, or something. When i envisioned the concept for this video, I imagined something out of that old Apple McIntosh commercial, where Kelly’s face is on a jumbo-tron commanding her minions to dance, you know . . .

    Ok, I found it. This is what I thought the video might be like, if she wasn’t doing a military theme?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYecfV3ubP8

    And even then, I liked her leotards. Why not do a star trek, space ship thing?

    There were so many possibilities for this song.

  35. MizzCutie June 1, 2010

    This aian’t the video..

  36. ms jazz June 1, 2010

    great job Kells

  37. Stoney-Brie June 1, 2010

    that video is hot!!!!!! I must say 4 real she did alotta Janet elements i am not goin to lie..

    but i love the video! good job Kelly!

  38. Boricua June 1, 2010

    I was expecting more… the choreography was rather limited and the visual variety just wasn’t there generally…

  39. DANGER June 1, 2010

    she will always live in the shadow of Beyonce this was make it or break it for her this will be the last time we will be hearing from Ms. Rowland
    this was not a good video why is David Guetta in this video it make it seem like she’s a featured artist on his song
    this horrible too much blue screen because you bust a gay move like voguing isn’t going to make the children like you better they are all up Beyonce Rihanna and Lady Gaga’s ass so once again Kelly gets lost in the mix

  40. love June 1, 2010

    I loved it im a true kelly stan and wat ever she puts out i like its unfin tho unfin tho u can tell its jus that everyone keeps linkin her s*** cuz they want to know wats she doing so bad

  41. love June 1, 2010

  43. T June 1, 2010

    The video was cool but I dont get the glass thing at the end

  44. mimi June 1, 2010

    There is ANOTHER version out there though.
    Official release is tomorrow.

  45. MizzCutie June 1, 2010

    WOW…Did someone actually bring up the “B” word?

    I just know this post is going to be H.A.M. 🙁

  46. Renee June 1, 2010

    I liked the video. I had a different image of how the video would look, but it turned out okay. I prefer listening to the song though. It’s so hot. And another thing, Beyonce and Kelly are 2 different artists. Therefore, their visual and audio interpretations of some songs will be different. There’s nothing wrong with that. I like Kelly’s style and Beyonce’s style. I look forward to Kelly’s album in September.

  47. Jay2010 June 1, 2010

    Im hoping, with honesty, that there is another version of that mess cause that s*** looks like it ain’t finished, the ‘Feedback’ influence is no good, the steps looks stupid, and there is no concept at all, and PLEASE what is up with those clothes ?!!! Aww Kelly, Kelly … you got a solid song and you go smashing it with an ugly video, a shame, A SHAME !

  48. carl June 1, 2010

    I personally love kelly I’m just not feeling her direction.

  49. ~TeAM WeeZY~ June 1, 2010

  51. black June 1, 2010

    ………………………………………………..

  52. bULAKA June 1, 2010

    The video is FIRE!!!!! Command me baby.

  53. nothing but my opinion June 1, 2010

    DJ Y2K MALONE
    c’mon rihanna is the one with the biggest gimmick ever, her beauty and edginess is her gimmick that hides her useless goat voice and crappy ass perfromances.

    —————————————————————————————————————-
    I loved the video 😀 at least she was doing some dancing and i’m finally seeing some colour sick of that dark and symbolic b*******.

  54. FactBeyonceRocks June 1, 2010

    the video is okay nothing special.

  55. That FLOP Juice June 1, 2010

    TRENT, why are you so DOUBLE STANDARD HATRED PERSON???

    If Christina Aguilera did this video, you would say that SHE COPIES MADONNA and JANET and that she is a FLOP and awful and disgusting (like what you write about Not Myself Tonight comparisons)

    But no. She is Kelly ROwland, so she doesn’t copy anyone, just take ideas from other music videos. WHat is this DOUBLE STANDARD??? This music video is an absolute copy and CHEAP RECESSION video. If it were Mariah or Christina you would say OVER, and FLOP, and OUT-of-Date, and pity girls. So write those things about Kelly, too, if you are not double standard.

    With this post YOU are TOTALLY OVER with NO CREDIT.

    The blog is officially THAT double standard FLOP JUICE.

  56. That FLOP Juice June 1, 2010

    At all the video killed the song I think. This cheap, recession video and the fantastic – but nothing new – song are totally contraversial.

    So it will be a huge flop in the US.
    And moderate success in the EU.

    The second single will be a HUGE flop all over the world, and than Kelly will have no solo carrier anymore. SHe lost her credit when she chose euro-electronic music, it toally doesn’t fit to her personality. She really doesn’t know anything about euro-electronic pop culture.

    (Don’t get me wrong, I really love Kelly and this song, but the whol stlye change thing has no credit, she just does it for the money, because behind Beyonce she is no one in the R’n’B industry.)

  57. bULAKA June 1, 2010

    Christina ain’t got shizzznittt on Kelly!!! Kelly is class and substance. Kelly is herself tonight. Kelly est Wonder Woman with a badonkadonk. HOT!!!!!! BIONIC WHATTTTTTT??????

  58. That FLOP Juice June 1, 2010

    THAT

    FLOP

    JUICE

  59. mez June 1, 2010

    so much for the idea that you have be a great singer and a dancer to be talented. Because if this is so then Kelly is clearly not talented….

    the video is BORING
    the choreography seems forced and uninspired

    the Autotune sounds nice

    “wake me when youre done its seems you are the only one having fun”

  60. nerd June 1, 2010

    please Beyonce not even R8B she always switch up her style. However, i am a little disappointed in the video it seem so unfinished and for some reason the alter ego does not work. they could have them dance a different dance routine and tell why choro was like same thing over and over

  61. RihannaStan June 1, 2010

    RIHANNA SHOULD STRANGLE BEYAKI TO DEATH SHE WONT LET KELLY SHINE

  62. Ramsey D’ Marco June 1, 2010

    So many haters !!! let her be this is her product buy it or leave it !she wont satisfy every single person regardles if she sang or dance or compare to B or Janet or any other artist , god at least give it up for her , WTF U want from her !! Ya sound like freaking american idol JUdges i bet u can not hold a note do a dance step sell a record or made a video regardless is epic or not with ur cheap broke ass!!

    YO Kelly u be my commander!!!!!!!!!!!!! And shake those twinky haters offffffffffff

  63. Bbop June 1, 2010

    Fail Kelly Fail. This was make or break for you and you just broke. OMG. I could almost see her counting while she was dancing. I really hope thee is another version of this but it won’t make her dancing better and those faces she is making. And is it just me or do those leotards look like the ones Rhianna is wearing for her tour?

  64. Spaxicle June 1, 2010

    I’m glad to see a lot of Vogue-ing in the choreography. I like the concept that they were going for, but I think that a lot of the parts just seemed very bare and the scenes do not really relate to each other, especially in the middle part of the video. She looks great though, and had the storyline or concept been tighter, I’m sure it would’ve been able to rival Lose My Breath. The video is just okay for me, and I’m not sure how much it would help the push the song up the charts, but nonetheless, the choreography and the song has got me excited to see her perform it live.

  65. Dante June 1, 2010

    Oh Kelly….(sigh). Let’s just go ahead and blame Matthew for the massive wackness that has just plagued my eyes. LOL

  66. IknowYouSeeMe June 1, 2010

    Just NO!

  67. Ghetto Fab June 1, 2010

    LOL as usual the Haters stormed in here to hate this early in the morning but I have news for you all. The dance scenes look FIERCE!!!!!!!!!!!

    THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL EDIT OF THE VIDEO. IT HAD BEEN PUSHED BACK AND IS PREMIERING TOMORROW ON YOUTUBE.

  68. mike June 1, 2010

    UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM all the previews kinda had me excited.

    This was a major let down. The dance sequences just seems all in the wrong places. I didint get teh dance off between the red kelly and the black kelly. If you doing a dance off….do a dance off!!! Not that stuid arm thing.

    David Guetta is so unnecessary its not funny. Everyone wants to be a star!!

    She is gorgeous though…but that was about it. With Feedback the dance sequences were flawless…..these were just boring and almost uninspired.

    I really don’t think she has that star power….SORRY

  69. IknowYouSeeMe June 1, 2010

    I love Kelly, I think she is a nice girl but solo carreer is something she will never have, ok? She just doesnt have that something, ok?
    I mean she had a good song in her hands and to make this kinda of the video?

  70. Emmi3 June 1, 2010

    Still the weird part is …though the video is different…and not what the most of us expected and satisfied the most of us…i think this video actually because of its difference and simplicity will be one that will be wathced a lot on tv…people will remember this…
    and she is fierce i love the way she looks …i think the video should have been edited a lil bit better ..with the story line yes …but for the rest hey its just the beginning…even though the video is not what most of yall expected i think my queen Ms Kelly is gonna rock the house with this album…. 4 ya’ll haters out there….get a life…whats the feeling going through u when u hate on kelly …are u proud of ur self then when u put such a nasty comment…is the lil devil in u laughing so nasty?? u people are disgusting…u haters .

  71. Zonaae June 1, 2010

    That single cover is ugly ass hell

    This video>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> boring ass feadback video by janet jackson

    Janet is a Icon but this video is way better than that boring ass feedback video and that’s me being honest.

  72. tordra swanigan June 1, 2010

    this is your year

  73. Regina June 1, 2010

    I loved this video it was so hot I am proud of Kelly Her haters need to do something better with they’re lives then to sit on a computer typying out long rants about what they dislike about Kelly. and kellys fans *rolls eyes* Need to stop saying that this video isn’t finished this is the finished product either you like it or you don’t move on.

  74. RANDOM June 1, 2010

    the video is very euro centric but it could have been better.come on kelly do better.

  75. Blasian June 1, 2010

    THIS VIDEO SUCKS! SHE IS NO BEYONCE WELL COME TO THINK OF IT NO ONE IS HAHA!

  76. Jo June 1, 2010

    Damn that b**** is s*** ass hell!

  77. Khalil June 1, 2010

    Damn I cannot watch the video at work but I hope its not as bad as people are making it.

  78. yes June 1, 2010

    all i have to say is haters she dance better than rihanna beyonce you can see the movements that shes doing thanks and the vidoe is unfin comeback tomorrow dykes!

  79. queen Beyonce June 1, 2010

    Ok sister you coming for the girls this year!

  80. q dawg June 1, 2010

    Iam now a fan of kelly rowland kind of feedbackish but i like and its not yet so cant wait to c when it is good job!

  81. wow June 1, 2010

    Not bad at all from what shes use to a big step up why everyone making it seems like it bad it a good vidoe!

  82. Andrew June 1, 2010

    I was expecting more, Kelly =[

  83. \Beyonce4life June 1, 2010

    @Wow

    Thank you Because I thought the video was pretty dope it kept my attention and hanging off my seat. so I think it served it’s purposed she entertained me.

  84. Fleur June 1, 2010

    The video is alright. The stand out scene is Kelly vs kelly . While I was watching it, I wanted to see more. I was a bit upset when the story line jump to the beauty shots with the different outfits. There seems to be a disconnection. I don’t mine Rico Love and David Guetta pressence at all. Their familiar faces add positivity to the video.

    And what’s up with the grey hair dude in the crowd? He’s killing me softly LMAO.

  85. OLW June 1, 2010

    I’m a kelly fan (almost stan) but I’m really dissapointed with this.
    first : the video is going nowhere
    2 : it doesn’t showcase the choreo at all…
    3 : it doesn’t catch the attention and finally during the dance somebody could mistake her with janet or ciara beacause of her style…

    still support her and definitively continue to buy her music but dissapointed with this video…

  86. Kenny June 1, 2010

    I am highly disappointed at the outcome of this video, there is something missing. Kelly has to do better if she expects consumers to take her seriously as a solo artist. I dont like th dual personalities (its been done recently), the dance routine was a little corny but overall I didnt get it.

  87. Blasian June 1, 2010

    yes

    KELLY CAN’T DO NOTHING BETTER THAN BEYONCE AND THIS VIDEO JUST PROVES IT EVEN MORE LMAO!

  88. Kiva June 1, 2010

    Kelly should have to p**** wine with lions and put on weird costumes for you to like her song.
    a person shouldn’t have to do all that I don’t understand people thinking she should have came harder what more did you want you told her to f****** dance rather if she reminded you of Britney Janet ciara Aaliyah or sisquo it shouldn’t matter you told old girl to dance and that’s what the hell she did! bet yall didn’t think she could dance like that! nope! Becuase I like Kelly and even I was surprised she is a polished dancer. anyway like I said It’s a great song it shouldn’t matter if you like the video or not. for me I really really loved this video it’s a step up from her posing all the time I.E her video for her song work.

  89. Alex June 1, 2010

    I really wanted to like this video because the song is a smash but my oh my…if there really was a “large budget” I wouldnt be able to tell. It looks cheap and uninspired.

  90. Kiva June 1, 2010

    Kelly SHOULDN’T have to p**** wine with lions and put on weird costumes for you to like her song.
    a person shouldn’t have to do all that I don’t understand people thinking she should have came harder what more did you want you told her to f****** dance rather if she reminded you of Britney Janet ciara Aaliyah or sisquo it shouldn’t matter you told old girl to dance and that’s what the hell she did! bet yall didn’t think she could dance like that! nope!

    & blasian hunny you are trying to hard. Kelly dancing>>> she is a more believable dancer and I KNOW rihannna fans are NOT talking because that b**** is stiff as helll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  91. wow June 1, 2010

    @ bey 4 life
    yeah and every other wibesites love it
    and its unfin!

  92. Michael June 1, 2010

    I want to f*** the s*** out of Kelly!

  93. MADONNA. June 1, 2010

    I really hope this video is not the real deal. it is BORING as hell!

    The dance moves are horrible and her she needs tolearn how to work her face (ie her mouth). The black and red costumes are horrible and what is with those gold danglie thing hang from her boobs? NASTY.

    If would have been much beeter without the extra add on…a simple outfit would have worked better.

    Im am so sad if this is the real video (which i am sure it is)…the son gis HOT and the Video is not. Oh well….

  94. chris June 1, 2010

    This joint is hot… A+ to Kelly.. I luv it

  95. MADONNA. June 1, 2010

    There needs to be stobe lights and laser beams…a’la J.LO from Waiting for Tonight. or some kind of special effects….lawd a mercy…wat dee raas i does see?

    I am still shaking my damn head over this video…..POOR POOR POOR.

    Even Why Dont You Love…is 10 x better!
    Come on Kelly spend some of your $ is your lable wont spend it on you!

    ps: I guess she did not get any product placements to help!

  96. To Live And Die In L.A June 1, 2010

    Why do h*** always have to hate Kelly is a fine coacoa puff broad and she did her thing in this video. Why sit there mad Because you can’t get your fat ass up and do it too lol

    The video looks really unfinished, so im not gonna make any judgments until Kelly’s camp releases a final version!

  102. BRITT June 1, 2010

    I WANNA CRY RIGHT NOW! I LOVE KELLY BUT THIS VIDEO WAS HORRIBLE! PLEASE PUT OUT A HOT ASSS VIDEO TO THE URBAN MIX CAUSE THIS IS NOT THE BUSINESS…hAVE YOU EVEN SEEN YOUR VIDEO KELLY????????? I WOULDNT SHOW THIS TO A BLIND MAN!

  103. Beani June 1, 2010

    Pipe down everyone. The final version will be released tomorrow so why judge something that isnt even finished?

  104. Gucci June 1, 2010

    this b**** looks like a power ranger in the video!!!! NOT FEELING IT.

    This was Kelly’s one and only chance to impress me and she was DISAPPOINTING in every possible way. The video made no sense, she danced not once, and with all that hype the girl had this did nothing for the song. That album is a guaranteed flop.

    Kelly failed!

  105. FactBeyonceRocks June 1, 2010

    this was a great chance for Kelly to prove what she can do but once again she disappoints. hope she gets it right next time(if there is a next time).

  106. ULISES June 1, 2010

    HOT!!!! Great Job KELLY!

    Love the song…. awful video

  108. jahmal June 1, 2010

    even though she has had hits in europe and successfull videos, this one isnt that great. she just doesnt seem comfortable in her own talents. did she just play patty cake with herself? idk…there is definately enough room for her on the world music stage but…she still seems like a back up singer/ dancer to me. this video didnt help

  109. Quanberg86 June 1, 2010

    there seem to be alot of HATERS up on here … The video is fun and entertaining and like everyone is saying wait until tomorrow when the final version is supposed to be put out !!! OMG there are haters up in here. The f****** song makes you want to get up and DANCE !!! B****** she commanded you now DANCE !!! I be jamming in my seat all the time !!! MS.KELLY u did ur thang …. LOVE IT .. f*** all the haters mehn !!!! We got you come SEPTEMBER !!! Im Stanning and yeah WHAt !!!!

  110. K.Row Kid June 1, 2010

    Are we serious with these comments??? This is a really GOOD video. By no means has it broken ground or made history! NO. But It’s a good video. Kelly is doing things we’ve yet to see her do and I think that warrants an A+ on it’s on. I think we’ve all failed to understand the video metaphorically…. Which is really sad seeing as how some of you try and read her for filth.

    TEAM KELLY! Love you girl and great video!

  111. Khalil June 1, 2010

    GOOD JOB KELLY! I will wait until tomorrow for the final version. I love the urban version of the song with Nelly. Thats on my ipod I play it over and over!

  112. remmy June 1, 2010

    What a let down…I knew she would flop, but now I will keep my mouth shut cuz I’m starting to feel bad for her…can you imagine how bad this will be live(she doesn’t have the best live vocal) ps why is this song not on the billboard 100(only 18 on the dance charts) on a good note she looks goo in some of the shots and her walk is ferice!!!

  113. Jamie June 1, 2010

    Ya’ll might compare the video, but ya’ll can’t compare the artist. Kelly did her thing in this video–she gave Kelly. Ya’ll so quick to try to put her and other artists in the shadow of another, but never want to give credit where it’s due. Kelly danced, modeled, and so much more. The video slayed hands down! It’s furutistic which is why so many of ya’ll don’t understand, and it definitely has meaning to it–hence the jumpin’ through the glass scene (breaking through). Some of ya’ll really need to think outside of the box. I loved every element to the video, and this is by far the best KELLY ROWLAND VIDEO to date. I say…keep’em comin’!!!!!

  114. Jamie June 1, 2010

    @ Remmy I feel sorry for you. You’re what I call a retarded hater.SMH!!!!

  115. Jamie June 1, 2010

    Oh and one more thing, it makes me glad she’s servicing “Shake Them Haters Off” as the second single. Best idea in a long time!

  116. mez June 1, 2010

    The idea that you have to be a great singer and dancer to be ‘talented’ is disproved once again here.

    Horrible dancing and great auotune…uncomfortable in her outfits…. FAIL FAIL

    She aint commanding anything!

  117. I and I (yardie style) June 1, 2010

    Well, I love the song but the video was really boring. Same thing different person. When is it that one of these females singers/rappers gonna surprise me and wear some damn pants. Kelly is too cute for that ish. SMDH

  118. QUEENB June 1, 2010

    HAHAHAHA DID I NOT SAY IT? BORING AS HELL FOR SUCH A DANCE TRACK U’D THIK THE CHOREO WOULD BE ON POINT HELL FOR A GIRL FROM DC THIS IS TOTALLY WACK, LET ME HEAR HOW BEYONCE MESSED THIS UP FOR KELLY….LOL WOW AFTER ALL THIS HYPE THIS IS IT???? TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED SMDH

  119. suck something now June 1, 2010

    Ya’ll need to be smacked! Nothing is wrong with the video. It’s not like if the video was perfect ya’ll would say so anyways. Ya’ll hating, bitter ass ugly sloppy h*** that wished you looked half as good as she does. The end. =) And have a f***** up day. Toodles.

  120. Maestro June 1, 2010

    WOW THE H8RS are out today arent they. Well I effn love the vidoe. It was high energy, the dances were on point, and it does have a storyline idiots. ITS HER COMING OUT, HER BREAKTHROUGH, HENCE THE BREAKING THROUGH THE GLASS AT THE END. Y’ALL act like this video is SOOOO much different than the other videos out right now. FOR HER its something different and I love it. I LOVE the concept, the dance sequences, and her body is stunning… stop H8in… or is it that shes not lite brite damn near white…IM JUST SAYIN

  121. MJ: “I do what I want, I’m the King – I’ll put my nose on my CHEST if I want to!” June 1, 2010

    yes she did look beautiful… and I love the song

    but i didn’t like the vid 🙁

  122. Michelle June 1, 2010

    I felt that it was lack luster. The song was so epic but the video didn’t match. I still love you Kelly!

  123. LOSO June 1, 2010

    That video was HOTTTTTTT I know the haters want Kelly to fail but sorry she is going higher and higher. People are loving this all over twitter…….. Haters fall back!!!!

  124. VV June 1, 2010

    She can’t walk.

    I guess she’s a club music queen. Those dance moves looked like they were straight from a gay ball.

  125. Denny June 1, 2010

    Honestly, I think people are being quite harsh, and some people will always be mean and hate on people just because they wake up and breathe!

    That said, as a long time fan of Kelly and with a sincere desire to see her succeed, I have to be honest and say that I am hoping that this is not the finished video. It is fierce as a portion of the video, but not as the stand alone final cut of the video. The song commands people to dance and while there is dancing in the video, it is not hard enough, fierce enough and does not make enough of a statement. The outfits look great, Kelly looks AMAZING and the colors are awesome, but there is something missing. This cut of the video falls short of blowing me away. I believe Kelly is capable of better. The two sides of her should not look exactly the same, with the colors of the outfits being the only difference. If they are going to go that route, the dance routines should be completely different. It’s not much of a dance off if they are only mirroring each others movements. The video appears to be building to a climax, that it never actually achieves.

    I love Kelly and I will support her regardless, but I pray the final edit builds on this one and the final product leaves us all speechless in a great way!

  126. evening June 1, 2010

    it was ok

  127. NICKY June 1, 2010

    KELLY KELLY KELLY!!!! WHAT WAS HER TEAM AND THE LABEL THINKING?!!!

    I REALLY WANT THIS CHICK TO SUCCEED BUT I CANT SUPPORT THIS CRAP.

    SONG IS S*****
    VIDEO IS CHEAP
    ALL HYPE BUT NO PUNCH

    I CAN SEE THAT THERE WAS NO PRODUCT SPONSOR BECAUSE THERE WERE NO PRODUCTS IN THE VIDEO. THIS SONG IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. IVE BEEN SAYING IT SINCE IT PREMIERED.

    WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER AND THAT VIDEO ARE 10X BETTER!!!!!!! SMDH!!! THE GREEN SCREEN DID NOT SUIT HER WELL…..THE CHEAP WIGS MUST GO!!!! WTF!!!

  128. evening June 1, 2010

    Nothing too amazing to go crazy about to be honest

  129. Zoli June 1, 2010

    I don’t know what to say. I love the track but the video is just not as great as I thought it would be, but whatever…

  130. Muni June 1, 2010

    HATERS JUST BACK OFF, THIS IS NOT THE FINAL VIDEO , EVEN IF IT WAS WHAT IS YOUR F**KING PROBLEM? THIS IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT SHE IS DOING COMPARED WITH TO OTHERS SO… THIS IS CLUB RECORD SO SHE DOESN’T WANT TO BE IN THE CLUB DACING BECAUSE IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS.

    THIS VIDEO IS VERY GOOD AND IS KELLY’S BEST VIDEO TO DATE AND I KNOW THERE IS MORE TO COME FOR THIS ALBUM!!!!!

    GO KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  131. Oggie June 1, 2010

    I think the video is great!!!! just her ass alone is worth watching, and the thighs OH MY GOSH!!! Kelly is mixing Dance with R&B and the biggest artist to do that is Queen Janet so maybe she wanted to be compared to show people the direction she will be going in, in the states espcially this is needed so people will stop thinking of her as a lesser Beyonce. It’s a good move and a HOT video

    Kelly seems more confidant stronger and sexier, and F*** it a lot of people borrow ideas from the greats till they develop there own style, “Neyo did it with Michael, Gaga did it with Madonna and Christina Aguilera (See Fighter video to see where Gaga got her crazy looks from), so Kelly can do it with the Queen!

  132. lyric_lee June 1, 2010

    OMG I LOVED THE VIDEO SHE GAVE ME JUST WAT I NEEDED AND THIS ISNT EVEN THE FINAL VERSION – THE DANCE OFF WAS THE BUSINESS AND I CAN’T BELEIVE THE SASS AND CONFIDENCE IVE SEEN FROM HER – I LOVE THE ODE TO JANET WHO SHE LOOS UP TOO AND THE RUN WAY WALKS WERE FIERCE ASS HELL – I CANT WAIT TO SSEE THE POLISHED HQ VERSION BUT I AM LOVING THIS VIDEO – MS KELLY IS UP IN THE B**** AND HATERS BETTER WATCH OUT!!!! workkkkkkkk!!

    on a side note for the people who have so much to say about the video or states that it failed but then have to nerve to aplaud videos such as ciara’s ride or damn near half of the sasha fierce videos (video phone ego really) and have the nerve to say she cant dance has really just proved my point – ppl dont want her to succeed or just hate just to hate – and u wonder why she’s releasing “shake them haters off” … hmmmmmmm because of all u hatin ass ppl who have nothing else better to do then wish someone to fail – THIS ISNT EVEN THE OFFICIAL PREMIRE OF THE VIDEO AND I HONESTLY LOVED IT – SHE GAVE ME THE FIEROCITY I NEEDED FROM HER AND THE WALK IS FIRE – MS KELLY AINT GOIN NO WHERE AND NOT BECAUSE 100 COMMENTS ON THATGRAPEJUCIE FROM PROBABLY 3 OR 4 OF THE SAME PPL SAYS SO SO FALL BACK!!! MS KELLY – I COMMAND YOU TO — WORRKKKKKK!!

  133. Diane June 1, 2010

    Noooooooooooooooooooooooo Kelly, noooooooooooooooooooooooo. I am disappointed in this video and hope that the one you create for the urban remix is much better.

  134. DANGER June 1, 2010

    something tells me that we will get a whole new video tomorrow

  135. HATING IS A TERRIBLE THING June 1, 2010

    Y’all are being to hard on her. The video was good. Some of y’all are on here just to throw shade. get it Kelly!!!!

  136. DANGER June 1, 2010

    @ lyric_lee no one has that much time on there hands to use multiple name the video sucks I just hope this isnt the final version
    and speaking of posting in multiple you must have done it in the past (busted lol)

  137. Biasdude June 1, 2010

    I want to like the video, I really do, but I just can’t. Looking at this video I was thinking maybe the next scene will catch my attention or the next, but Kelly dropped the ball with this. I wish she would of danced danced I mean listen to the beat of this song, it goes hard. The dancing she was doing was just too slow and staccato for my taste. I need for her to go harder and if she has it in her budget fire the choreographer and hire a new one because it wasn’t the business, and possibly even re-shoot this hot mess! Just one persons opinion.

  138. LOSO June 1, 2010

    Kelly is killing all yall faves in this video the people on the internet say so. Dont hate just congratulate Ms. Kelly for finally being a star!!!! TeamKelly…………. Some of you dont even get the symbolic images in the video just hating to hate but the masses love it.

  139. CoCo June 1, 2010

    i think this video is super hot. and by the way who the f*** does not copy janet!!!! i myself am a huge janet fan but to be really honest some elements in the feedback video or very reminiscent to what kylie does (dancers covered head to toe, faces included) there really are no new ideas under the sun anymore the trick now is to find new ways of interpreting it!!! you kids act like maddona was the first b**** to vouge! as the true children know vouging has been around for 30 years. that means 10 years before madge even knew of it. and i personally think kelly style was a more authentic presentation on how the kids really do it in the black gay clubs in the us, minus the dip and drops. also this was an early leak so who knows maybe all you special effects groupies might get your extra effects. either ways this song and video is fire.

  140. BEYONCE VS. WORLD June 1, 2010

    I COULD GO ON AND ON SAYING HOW THIS VIDEO SUCKED BUT I’VE REALIZED THAT THE KELLY FANS HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT SO I’LL JUST BRING UP THE FACT THAT ONCE AGAIN U GUYS HAVE HYPED UP TRASH AND THIS IS WHY U SHOULDN’T TALK S*** UNTIL U HEAR AND SEE THE FINAL PRODUCT THIS ISNOT A CIARA POST BUT THEY HEARD A PIECE OF RIDE AND THAN BEGIN TO SAY SHE WAS GOING TO PULL BEY’S LACEFRONT OFF NOW A FEW WEEKS LATER SHE’S NOT ON THE BILLBOARDS AND VIDEO IS NO LONGER TALKED ABOUT HA HA HA THANK FOR ALL THE BEYONCE NAME DROPS ABOVE KEEP HER HOT BEYONCE WINS FLAWLESS VICTORY GOOD LUCK KELLY START SHAKING HATERS OFF IS MY S***

  141. Ghetto Fab June 1, 2010

    LOL Again this isn’t the OFFICIAL VIDEO.

    COMMANDER VIDEO WILL PREMIERE TOMORROW

  142. d June 1, 2010

    Dam this was not a good vid, it was copying feedback from janet jackson and the madonna voguing was playout in 1990. Dam I like kelly, but she needs to pull back and show us her, the reason when love takes over worked because it show kelly’s beauty. this vid was too one dimensional. and the concept was not that great. this vid could have been alot better. it’s like she was getting there, and this vid beyonce is laughing at her, and in that picture of kelly and bee it’s looked like kelly was not really ready to see her yet, because she is judged by her connection with beyonce. I dont even like bee, I like kelly more, but because she was the underdog. but now I’m starting to see that she is the underdog for a reason, it’s like she don’t trust she own decisons and it listening to too many voices. At least as a performer Bee copies real creative artist well,( janet, donna summer, tina turner, diana ross, gladis night,) though she’ not original and a talk singer. but kelly’s tone was always better than Bee’s but she needs to use it. COME ON KELLY TURN ON THE LIGHTS, AND JUST GOOOO!!!!!

  143. “Dj Y2k Malone” June 1, 2010

    what happen to the product placement

  144. Gucci June 1, 2010

    @BEYONCE VS. WORLD

    Cosign! Kelly stans take heed, in the future don’t hype things up so much only to have the final product be a pile of garbage. Lesson learned?

  145. Tyler June 1, 2010

    Wow. She succeeded in making a video as pointless and soulless as the song. That, in and of itself, is a true accomplishment.

    Kelly – baby girl, you are better than this.

  146. OLW June 1, 2010

    well watchin it again… they should remove all the white parts… and just keep the dance/club/black ones and the video will be GREAT !

  147. exposed June 1, 2010

    THIS VID IS SOOO BEYAAAWNCE!!!!!!!! zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

  148. Dave June 1, 2010

    It didn’t make any sense, & the dancing was lame. I hope & wish this is not the final edit, it was just blah

  149. SEAN2010 June 1, 2010

    B**** KELLY ROWLAND VIDEO IS NOT BETTER THAN JANET JACKSON VIDEO! ANY OF THEM S****!

    B**** ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

    AND ALSO “FEEDBACK” AND THIS WACK ASS CHEAP VIDEO WAS NOT DIRECTED BY THE SAME PERSON.

  150. CJ June 1, 2010

    It kind of seems as if its not fully edited. It seems a little…idk. Just not edited yet.

  151. Javier June 1, 2010

    I liked it the dancing routine needs a little more pump it just didnt fit in some parts and on that floor is jammed picked she should have let us have it on that part kelly needs some gay men in her life or in her camp….

  152. Last Boy on Earth June 1, 2010

    the b**** has got to be kidding

  153. Angie June 1, 2010

    I really did not like this video. Her video for LIke This was way better IMO, so I disagree that this is her best video. It looked very cheap, and I don’t think the video made her look that great. Simply put, it was wack and I’m disappointed.

  154. BLACK DOLL June 1, 2010

    BEST VEDIO…………..KELLY IS JUST THE BEST……….NICE ASS, NICE BODY, BEAUTIFUL FACE……….WATCH OUT HOW EVERYONE WILL BE COPYING HER DRAW BACK HAIRSTYLE……

  155. DANBOFFICIAL (AALIYAH/RIHANNA/XTINA) STAN) June 1, 2010

    LOL KELLY SURE AS HELL WON’T BE COMING BACK TO THIS SITE AFTER THAT TERRIBLE REVIEW !!! WELL DONE TRENTISHA !!!!!

    DID YALL KNOW TRENT ISNT EVEN A REAL PERSON ???
    SAM USES THE NAME SAM WHEN HE IS BEING NICE AND THE NAME TRENT WHEN HE IS BEING A NASTY B****……

    KELLYS VIDEO WAS HOT…..NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS………

    -NO-HATE-JUST-TRUTH-

    -DANBOFFICIAL-OUT

  156. Rashaan June 1, 2010

    HMMMMMM I love the song but I was relly expecting something different! I do like the feedback elements but that worked for Janet….not sure if they fit this song….Well it is still nice to see Kelly doing her thing

  157. g3 June 1, 2010

    i hope she dont think she killed this that was a damn mess #FAIL

  158. BLACK DOLL June 1, 2010

    If TRENT IS SAM, THEN SAM MUST BE A COWARD AND A BACKSTABBER……………OR LOSER I GUESS…..

  159. Diane June 1, 2010

    @Ghetto Fab; are you serious? I hope you are tellling the truth. Where is the dancing in this video? Kelly is too feminine and beautiful to be dancing so militant and hard. I understand the title of the record is Commander, but I don’t like Kelly’s military arm movement. Soften her up and let her swing her hips and DANCE!

  160. g3 June 1, 2010

    @black doll plz kelly did not start the draw back ponytail u gotta be kidding me sit down go watch Ciara’s work video she has one too these Kelly stans i tell ya & im pretty sure everyone else done rocked one too lmao that was funny

  161. BHamz June 1, 2010

    Nooooooo 🙁 I really hope this isn’t the final video. I thought there would be more futuristic special effects and just more…..oomph in your face I can do better on my own than in a group. I still think its a great video, it just doesn’t seem to be…topped off, so I really really hope tomorrow there is a version that shuts everyone down. Bring it Kel.

  162. lola June 1, 2010

    nice video. she’s too dark skinned to make it big on the pop scene despite having the material. i’m not hatin, just stating facts. there r NO darkskinned chicks in the game now doing it big.everything is now image driven. men won’t desire Kelly or similiar darkskined girls & women ain’t gonna want to be like her. she needs to go back to her r&b roots or just give it up.

  163. Beani June 1, 2010

    THE VIDEO WILL PREMIERE TOMORROW. CALM DOWN WITH THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS.

  164. Alexis June 1, 2010

    i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But i need the 2 single 2 b on&om= the sound that will b hot i like hate on me but not 4 a 2 single maybe a 4 r 5 single but i love commander video i need this from kelly all the time 4 ever

  165. Beani June 1, 2010

    regarding her dark skin, look at whitney houston, jennifer hudson, missy elliott etc.

  166. Gucci June 1, 2010

    @lola

    Girl you make me sick. Shame on you for that comment.

  167. S*** June 1, 2010

    I thought it was pretty good, nothing amazing. I liked the chorus & Hook parts of the video but the setting for the Verses with all the arm movements, I thought it was pointless to the original setting. All around the song & video was OK. Good luck Kells

  168. BLACK DOLL June 1, 2010

    WHAT HAS BLACK SKIN GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING? YOU DONT KNOW WHAT U ARE TALKING ABOUT………KELLY IS THE BEST NOW, HATERS TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. THE VIDEO IS GOING TO TOP THE CHARTS. IF YOU DONT SUPPORT OR LIKE KELLY, DONT CHECK HER OUT ANYMORE OR DONT BOTHER COMMENTING HERE BUT WAIT YOU ALL HATERS CANT STOP COS IT HURTS TO SEE HOW SHES GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER……..ALL YOU HATERS KEEP TALKING, YOU LIKE THE WAY SHES FLYING

  169. Mu’phil June 1, 2010

    @Lola
    Shut your f**king mouth!
    Your words are unbelievable stupid!!
    Kelly is a dark skin and she’s beautiful…. She deserves a lot of success because she worked hard and spent much money for making this album! I’m hopeful.
    Love Kelly…

  170. here to laugh June 1, 2010

    Ummm….that video wasn’t all that great to me. The choreography was very limited and I was not a fan of the superhero getup Kelly had on. However, maybe this isn’t the final version, and maybe the finished product will come out better.

    I will, however, say that the song “Commander” has grown on me and I like it!

    I see the stan war is raging so, on to the next post lol!

  171. Mu’phil June 1, 2010

    @Lola
    Shut your f**king mouth!
    Your words are unbelievably stupid!!
    Kelly is a dark skin and she’s beautiful…. She deserves a lot of success because she worked hard and spent much money for making this album! I’m hopeful.
    Love Kelly…

  172. lola June 1, 2010

    please y’all. i didn’t make the rules. don’t get mad at me for stating how it is. nippy came around when the music scene was different, jhud relied on her AI audience exposure..her next project ain’t gonna do aswell. the black women that make it big NOW like bey and rihanna are racially ambigous in their look and are lightskinned.white ppl can relate to them in some way and their black audience idolize their look and think its the epitome of black beauty. it doesn’t matter how beautiful a dark brown skinned girl can look, her pigmentation is a hinderance in the entertainment business. it happens with models, actressess and singers. Again, y’all can deny it all you want. it is what it is.

  173. lola June 1, 2010

    i mean look at how light they made her look on the single artwork?. stop playin yourselves.

  174. yesyes June 1, 2010

    LOVED IT but im like damn……that is some BLATANT ciara style tish. the look, the moves, everything. I want Kelly to have success but then i feel ciara is gonna be known as the innovator but doesnt get the rewards (as usual!!).

  175. joe sullivan June 1, 2010

    i usually dont talk like this… BUT WHAT AN EFFING BOOTY!!!

  176. Roab June 1, 2010

    Why is her album not dropping until September? The same with Kelis why have a hit song and then the album release date 5 months later! That’s just dumb!

  177. Tami June 1, 2010

    So this was a feedback and lose my breath combined video…I expected a little more especially with all the hype

  178. Reasonable Voice June 1, 2010

    I get what Lola’s trying to say, even though it was worded poorly. Beyonce is a superstar, but Britney’s sold more albums as a solo artist and her tours have grossed more dough, especially the Circus tour, and Brit didn’t have to put in half the effort that Bey put into performing on her tour. At the end of the day, white privilege is more marketable than light skinned privilege, and no matter how light Beyonce is, she’s still a black woman. Now Beyonce is very talented, but saying that her hue isn’t part of her marketability is like saying that Eminem’s popularity has nothing to do with his being a white male. Is Em talented? Yeah, but he’s also the same color and gender as hip-hop’s largest consumer base.

    White privilege explains in part why Gaga is so popular. Do you honestly think that a black woman as homely as Lady Gaga could be nearly as successful? Kelly looks way better than Gaga, but if Beyonce has to work as hard as she does for a fraction of the benefits that a white artist can reap with less of an effort, then think about what that means for Kelly who has neither white or light skinned privilege.

    This video is not the business, and I’m praying that this isn’t the official cut, but Kelly’s already got my money if for no other reason than because I want to make a political statement.

  179. Javier June 1, 2010

    so its not the offiacial video haters can calm down now lol at these comments

  180. stan June 1, 2010

    video not found

  181. Khalil June 2, 2010

    I just want to know how much different do you guys think the version that is released tomorrow will be? I love Kelly with all my heart and I want her to succeed and shut these haters up.

  182. Yellow Gorillah June 2, 2010

    Yalll Need to Calm down looooool

    So it seem’s like im the only one that liked the video.

    Maybe because it reminds me of janet loool But i loove it

    And i don’t think it is the final version i think we will get the real deal TOMMOROW!

    woow people on this site are tooo farst.. and this video is better then most of beyonce IA..SF videos. Yall are tooo up Beyonce’s Asss that yall don’t want any other destiny child member to succed yall need to sit down!

    I Like the video she gave me what i wanted but Only negative thing is that
    The dancing needs to be PUMPED PUMPED up maybe fast forward it a lil so it Looks like she is dancing hard

    Kelly if you want to be inspired by Janet [ICON] atleast put some effort into your dancing Cheeese looool

    But i like it.. Can we save the Judgment until tommorow and i also think that tommorow’s premire The video Will be Commplettte diffrent!! GOOD LUCK KELLY!

  183. Yellow Gorillah June 2, 2010

    B4 I GO

    I ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY THIS BUT I ALWAYS FORGET

    I HATE THE SINGLE COVER!!! AHH IT MAKES ME MAD

    WHAT IS UP WITH THAT GOD DAME HAT!!

    WHYY WHYYY SHE NEED’S TO CALL RIHANNA ASAP! LOOL IHATE THAT HAT LOOOL IT MAKES HER LOOK SOOO STUPID!

  184. Tiff June 2, 2010

    it was ok..Not epic or anything like that.

  185. Diane June 2, 2010

    Yuck, yuck, yuck. Please Kelly scrap this video. It is going to make me dislike the remix song. I simply can’t stand it. I am rooting for you Kelly, but you have to be able to pull it ALL together. Some artists can get away with BS vids because they are established in other areas, but Kelly you still have to prove yourself even after receiving a grammy for When Love Takes Over. Case in point: WLTO was a #1 dance hit and when you perfomed it on America’s Got Talent, you were not able to generate a buzz the next day. Kelly, this video does nothing for this record; maybe internationally. Please scrap it.

    SO HOT! THE DANCE, THE STYLE, THE EFECTS…SO HOT! THE BEST VIDEO OF KELLY IN ALL THIS YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!

  187. CHUA (Riri lover & hater) June 2, 2010

    WHat??? was??? That??? I see why Rihanna eatin these chics! None of them get it! Their team doesnt get it!

    I still support TEAM KELLY! THO!

    @Lola @Reasonable Voice

    Now I understand better.
    You know what, I’m french and i taught that problem of skin color existed only in my country or in some european countries.
    Actually I’ve never imagined it was the same case in US… as a black guy I’m disapointed but I’m still hopeful…

  189. CHUA (Riri lover & hater) June 2, 2010

    THE COVER FOR THE single looks better than the video. Luv the song tho

  190. Mu’phil June 2, 2010

    THE VIDEO WILL NOT PREMIERE TOMORROW BUT COMING SOON.
    THIS VERSION IS AN ILLEGALLY LEAK!

  191. Lady Gaga’s Invisible Twin Marty June 2, 2010

    Please. Why are you guys ganging up on Lola like she is not telling the truth. Look at Billboards top 10. Check iTunes top 10. Stop fooling yourselves because the main consumers buying these products are white people. They will always gravitate toward someone who’s complexion is closer to theirs. Now if anybody sees an artist of darkskin on any of those charts, please let me know. I’ll wait.

  192. CHUA (ON THE REAL) June 2, 2010

    @Lola @Reasonable Voice SPEAK THE TRUTH! THANK YOU FOR THAT. THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE NOTICING the blatant mal treatment of DARKER SKINNED women! I feel for the ones (young black women) coming up! What is the media & music business teaching them? telling them about what is acceptable?

    I AGREE WITH YOU ALL 100%

    THANX TO TRENT AND SAM for never shying away from that topic! It is important!

    Note! I am a Riri lover and hater BECAUSE…..I LOVE TO HATE HER! LOL More like make fun of her and point out the fact that she has not one lick of talent in her bones, yet she is one of the biggest pop stars up to date! SAD SMH….Kelly should really rethink this video! =(

    Team Kelly!

  193. Gucci June 2, 2010

    Let’s stop turning this into a skin color issue! The video just sucks boo!
    OMG Kelly stans let it go. You thought this would have been epic and Kelly failed. Stop pointing fingers already.

  194. “Dj Y2k Malone” June 2, 2010

    lola is speaking the truth
    some of you cant take it but it is what it is kelly wont be topping no pop charts

  195. Crank June 2, 2010

    Gucci sit your m***** self downe.
    You obviously love the wack b****.
    Death @ you saying she did not do one dance.

    *****GIVING KELLY PROPS…GOOD JOB LOVE**************

    WISH IT WAS MORE POLISHED AND EDITED MORE AS WELL.
    THE EDITING SHOULD HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE SONG.
    PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY WORTH.
    *odd ending

    We could have said the same for Naomi but she was one of the best model of 90’s

  198. RANDOM June 2, 2010

    maltreatment …dark skin what has this turned into

    kelly is a gorgeous woman but the video was weak it does nothing for the song.

  199. Diane June 2, 2010

    For all of you who are claiming that “dark skin” is a societal ill, you betsta step back. The only people that fascinate over light-skin are black people. White people don’t have a problem with dark skin. They are prejudiced against black people who have African features and nappy hair, unless you are Eryka or Lauryn who wears nappy hair but sing protest songs. Then the nappy hair matches the artist’s soul and it comes across as erotic. But, if you are dark-skinned like Iman, Jonelle Monae, with European features, white people can relate to your beauty.

    Black people are the most prejudiced of dark-skinned blacks. Just look at BET and TVONE. These are stations that show programs mostly produced, written, and directed by black people, but they have the lightest artists. Look at the hosts of BET and TVONE and tell me if I’m lying. Black people are so enamored with light-skinned, that we are quick to give the “black card” to Mariah and Kim Kardashian, because we are in awe of the fact that Mariah and Kim even want to be recognized as black. We are not even holding them accountable for claiming black. Just like we didn’t hold Justin or Mayer accountable. Black people have a desperation to be accepted by other cultures that we are quick to take you in if you are interested.

    Trust me, dark-skinned is a black people’s problem not a white people’s problem. Just look at the view: Whoopie and Sherri. If the view was on BET or TVONE, you will see four light-skinned women hosting that show. And, if they were to show a mixture of dark and light-skinned people, the dark-skinned person would have the straightest hair in order to offset her skin.

    So there.

    Back to this damn video, WTF yall? Kelly does not have the “dark skin” issue. Kelly has the “bringing it all together and stepping up to the A-List” issue.” What can we do to change this concept immediately? Is there someone to call?

  200. Reasonable Voice June 2, 2010

    @Gucci

    In many ways it is a skin color issue. Go watch the “Bad Romance” video. Look at the choreography that Gaga was doing and compare it to Kelly’s in “Commander.” Funny hand gestures, more posing than actual movement, but not only was it considered dancing, it was so “avant garde,” clever, and s*** when Gaga was doing it as opposed to Kelly, eh?

    That whole Kelly vs. Kelly, dueling cliques and leotards portion was the only good part of the video.

  201. Darren June 2, 2010

    Kelly needs to crawl in a hole and die cuz we dont want her.

  202. Speaking my Peace June 2, 2010

    So let me get this right if this video reminds you of great icons such as janet jackson then how was this video a bad video? If it reminds you of all these great dancers Janet ciara and all these Iconic clever artist Beyonce Madonna the list goes on the how is this video a bad video.

    I agree that the scene with the white background could have been left out and most importantly she could have danced with a MUCH higher pace But when it’s all said and done she did her thing. She can dance and anyone that says different is a mother f****** liar and I hope you get striked down! Ioved her leotards I just think she showed out it could been better a lot of videos could be better But that does not mean that this commander video is as horrid as people are trying to convince themselves that video was not that bad it’s a lot more entertaining then
    her video for work now that was a boring mess This video shows that kelly can dance I want more of her dancing there is NO excuses.

    i’m Impressed and proud.

  203. Crank June 2, 2010

    @DARREN, YOU MUST BE A FOOL FOR WRITING WHAT YOU JUST WROTE. YOU SHOULD GO AND DIE INSTEAD COS NO ONE EVEN KNOWS YOUR SICK, WACKY, FOOLISH, SCARY ASS…….

    AT THE REST TALKING ABOUT DARK SKINNED GIRLS BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY, I DONT AGREE TO THAT. PLS QUIT LEAVING IN THE PAST. THIS IS 2010, DAMN IT…….

    WHY DON’T YOU CRAWL YOUR UGLY CLAY AIKEN LOOKING ASS IN A HOLE AND DIE BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS YOU. YOU ARE ON A BLOG COMMENTING ON HER NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND YOU NEED TO FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE THEN TO WISH DEATH ON SOMEONE YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW.

    Looks like a truck ran over his face, like somebody knocked the s*** out him with a pillow case full of bricks, like his dog chewed on him, like someone cracked him upside the head with a bottle, looks like wendy williams took a large s*** on him, like Kelly took one of her cd’s and sliced his face up, like young bloodz did the ATL stomp on his head, looks like 88% of bloggers, looks like tom from myspace retarded twin brother, looks like he needs to get his ass kicked for hating on a woman hating ass biotch!

  208. Diane June 2, 2010

    @BETO, thank you, thank you, thank you. Commander is a freaking #1 hit for dance and urban if presented correctly. And i want Kelly to come hard on their a**es. If her team wants to keep the militant stuff in, then they should show the militant Kelly in a silhouette commanding a much softer and s*** Kelly to dance her a$$ off.

  209. Shawna June 2, 2010

    IT IS JUKING UP IN HERE (DOES BEYONCES BOOTY POP DANCE) ON TOPIC

    IF TIERRA FLOP ASS CAN MAKE 70 VIDEOS AND STILL NO ALBUM GETTING READY TO TAKE A BIG NOSE DIVE INTO THE LAND OF FLOPS THEN KELLY BETTER HAVE 3 COMMANDER VIDEOS AND THEN SOME MORE SINGLES WITH VIDEOS BECAUSE IF KELLY FLOPS HARDER THEN THE WAY TIERRA MARI IS ABOUT TO THEN HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM SERIOUSLY.

  210. Richard June 2, 2010

    The video’s fine to me; it’s the dancing that was horrible. It was like a bootleg “Feedback”

  211. tameka June 2, 2010

    the dancing in feedback was different in this Kelly was doing the dances that gay men do..

  212. Diane June 2, 2010

    Maybe I should state that I am from the U.S. and it is possible that the video is “too international” for me.

  213. Tori June 2, 2010

    Ummm…first, all these negative comments towards Kelly needs to be shut down. Second, this video is an unfinished product because some stupid ass person leaked the video online before the release date. This is why leaks should not be supported because its a misrepresentation on the artist. Anyways, I think the video is fabulous so far. Great Job Kelly and Muto!!!

  214. DANBOFFICIAL (AALIYAH/RIHANNA/XTINA) STAN) June 2, 2010

  215. Gucci June 2, 2010

    @Crank

    Girl sit your two bit raggedy ass the hell down. If Rihanna is wack and still shitting on Kelly’s entire life force then what does that say about Kelly? With her crack headed power ranger wanna be ass!

    @Reasonable Voice

    I agree with you to some degree, but in this particular case I think the Kelly stans are making up for this horrible video by pointing fingers. They thought the video was going to be something that it wasn’t and that’s nobody’s fault besides Kelly. She needs to try again because she just failed in every way with this clip!

    @Darren the ugly blogger looks like____

    THE VIDEO IS NOT FINISHED PPL!!!!!
    SOMEONE LEAKED IT!!!!
    U can tell, all the pieces aren’t linked together!

  217. PrinceT June 2, 2010

    THE VIDEO IS NOT FINISHED!!! It was leaked illegally online. So all this bitching about the video being bad is unnecessary. If you look at the video it is evident that there is a lot editing that needs to be done. For example, certain scenes in the beginning is too dark and more close ups are probably going to be put in for the far distant scenes. Also if you guys have not noticed in the part where the two Kellys are dancing, the black suit Kelly’s arm is blocking the face of the red suit Kelly. Its obvious at that part they have to do sum editing to show Kelly’s face with the arm of the other Kelly being up at the same time, which is another clear sign of an UNFINISHED VIDEO!!

  218. Crank June 2, 2010

    @Gucci
    Parasite fagget.
    Lmao @ Commander creating more buzz than ALL Rihanna videos combined.
    Kelly’s mediocre singing>>>>Rihanna

    WHO SAID ALL RIHANNA STANS ARE HATERS??

    IM A RIHANNA STAN AND I LOVE COMMANDER, KELLY BUT NOT THE VIDEO. BUT GET DAT HIT KELLY GIRL! I KNOW ITS IN YOU!

    @Crank

    AHAHAHHAHA! Rihanna’s video got 4 million views in 2 days sweetie! Nobody even knows that Kelly is still making music, much less putting out videos. And girl it sure doesn’t help that the video SUCKS. Rihanna is a so called goat and she still trumps Kelly. You mad? You sound mad sweetheart. It’s not my fault this song will flop. Even her stans are mad at this whack video! #FAIL

  223. Quanberg86 June 2, 2010

  224. Gucci June 2, 2010

    I just wanted to declare that Kelly stans everywhere should feel like s***. You promised this and that, called other artists names, blamed Beyonce, skin color, and everything else while assuring that Kelly would deliver an amazing video that would shut the “haters” up once and for all. And then……

    SHE FAILED!!!!!!!!

    <3 Muah!

  225. Eva June 3, 2010

    I loved it from start to finish. People just kill me complaing, complaing to hear them self it’s so annoying.

    GO KELLY

  226. Crank June 3, 2010

    @Gucci

    Delusional c***.
    That’s why RIhman was selling his album for 3 dollars at Pop Eyes.
    Even the hype surrounding Chris & Rihman’s forehead throw-down couldn’t save her own s***.
    Death @ her 287234523784623 singles.

  227. Jamie June 3, 2010

    Darren, I will whoop yo white ass telling Kelly to die. You are a nobody and if you die, I know nobody will miss your f***** ass especially your daddy. I know he’s ashamed of you. F*****’ f**. Men don’t hate on women.

  228. Gucci June 3, 2010

    @Crank

    You mean 3 singles? All of which were in the top 10? You can’t even count boo. She still sold more digits than Kelly will ever see in her life. The last time she saw sales like Rihanna, she was working as Beyonce’s maid.

  229. Darren June 3, 2010

    stupid concept. boring. mediocre. David Guetta looks like a loser in this video too. Kelly Rowland is a corporate entity she does not have her own style or any interesting or discerning personality.

  230. Darren June 3, 2010

    and Jamie it tickles me that you are so affected by my miniature comment. go get some pride for your favorite artists and stop whining about what other people think.

  231. Darren June 3, 2010

    lol. wow a lot of you responded to me. i literally only wrote 14 words. Kelly is mediocre and should crawl in a hole and die like the snake she is. No one is ever going to go for this cheap corporate music.

  232. Laury Jones June 4, 2010

    I dont get why people keep calling Kelly a failure for leaving Matthew when after leaving him she has done everything but. She was featured on a few hits, one of which hit #1 in over 10 countries and also won her a Grammy the following year. And all of this was before she even secured a record deal. Now this song we’re discussing now is steady goin up the dance charts and is now in the top 10. She is the second most successful in the group and has the second most Grammys as well as record sales. Flop? How?

  233. illcity June 14, 2010

    @gucci,
    why not just wait for thew video to premiere tomao b4 u lose ur fingers typin hated words at kelly. i understand ur mad but even bey’s last video “y dnt u love me” for me is a complete gaga video, thrash and very unprofessional. wud u say its kellys fault for bringing a choreo that was made by someone else…well ill wait till the video comes out b4 i judge…n b4 i forget, riri goathead has been constant in the market, n kelz baby has been out for almost 4 years since 2007…so try n be a little rationed in ur comparison…
    thanks anyway for the critics but u nid to cool down

  234. john June 15, 2010
