It looks like Kelly Rowland is going to give Diddy-Dirty Money and Ciara a run for their money when it comes to having the record for the most album push backs of all time. The ‘Commander’ singer’s new album has been delayed again, this time until November 2nd. Rowland had only recently announced that the LP would hit stores on October 26th but has now changed the date (probably because Taylor Swift had chosen that day for her new album’s release as well). {Source}
At this rate Rowland might as well reschedule the album to March 2011, that way she won’t have to worry about pushing it back any further. With all of the material released in the US already circling the drain and the buzz for the project quickly fading, it seems highly unlikely that this LP will have the major impact that she needs to establish herself as a formidable act stateside. Hey, at least she’s still getting royalty cheques from her work with Destiny’s Child. Merry Christmas.
Sam’s 2 Pence:
While news of yet another pushback may come as a disappoint to some, from a strategic standpoint I’m all for it. With some of Rowland’s material resonating with audiences and some not, it makes sense for her team to see what’s catching on and revise their plans accordingly. It’s important to get things right – even if it takes a few times to do so LOL!
Above all, some are finding it oh-so-easy to forget that Kelly has yet to properly drop the project’s first US single. Yes, there has been talk of videos for ‘Grown Woman’ and ‘Rose Coloured Glasses’, however they’ve yet to be shot. So, in a nutshell it’s all still to play for.
Concluding, what I’m sure many will deem a ‘Stan Rant’, the Holiday season also provides much in the way of promotional opportunities and potentially bigger sales. My only gripe is that, if Kelly’s label-mate Nicki Minaj and team could have foreseen this already (Minaj’s album hits stores November 23rd, despite dropping two videos already), I’m not quite sure why Kelly’s didn’t.
In any case, Ms. Kelly is coming…in time.
this site is like a kelly rowland fansite/blog.
KELLY IS A GREAT SINGER/new stuff is good….she just needs a new team ASAP! (ME), she is doin EVERYTHING WRONG!!! LORD I could help this girl run it, like she should…its too late now, its not gonna do well, too much set back…SORRY BOO (still luv ya)
Stupid Sh*t….
Loves my Kelly, but I feel it won’t sell well if she keeps on pushing it back, because people will get tired of waiting. We’ll just have to sit back and see what happens.
Make me proud, K.Row 🙂
The reason why is because she is still recording the alum they should have waited and then she had some leak tracks so she is most likely adding more songs to replace those ones that leak. same thing goes for ciara still recording her album they all should have waited until they where completely finish first, but i love the singles out right now and you never know kelly my just being recording a gem for a hit. and i would really love for here and letoya luckett to do a duet that would be epic there signature harmonies!!! but im still getting the album no matter if it comes out next year.
Kelly keeps pushing this album back further that Stevie Wonders hairline!!!
Even if it comes out 2013 I wil be buying it becvuase I belive in Kelly as an artist
yikes!
Damn i was really looking forward to it October 25, 2010. At least it’s only one week.
Kelly shouldn’t worry about competing with Ciara because that t*****’s album will never be released!!!!
WTF yo, I am so expecting this album !!! NOOOOOOOO, KELLY !!! Come on TeamKelly, say it ain’t so ….. Don’t be afraid of competition, u say ur album can stand on it’s own, then let’s do it.
LOL so now y’all are saying “pushed back” instead of “re-scheduled”….and y’all also failed to mention that “Grown Woman” is #62…yeah SIXTY-TWO…on Billboard R&B this week, dropping from #51. Just a minute ago y’all were saying urban radio was blowing this song up! Are y’all even listening to U.S. radio over in London and Trinidad? Guess not….
her team needs to be fired
Poor Kelly.
I thought she was really getting it together, damn what a shame.
Im so tierd of waiting comn gurl bring out the goodies
lol at merry christmas…its one week, why the big deal? heck i would not want to release the same day as taylor swift..no ma!!
That’s disappointing for sure. Loves me so Kelly, but she got to get her act together. Hope this works out for her. I’m really pulling for her but at this rate I’m just getting tired of waiting…Please Kelly. Get it together!!!
At this point, I dont know whats pushed back further, her hairline…. or this album
She keep pushing back Beyonce’s new album will be out then
whats with the poor kelly rant, its just one week, you guys were the same pple that went noo o dont bring out an album same time as taylor swift. anyway i doubt if that had anything to do with it, she is still recordin and has not even kicked off her american promo yet. so i am not mad at her and i am ready to wait no biggie.
@Blasian
I was about to say something along those lines. Now when Bey comes out and Kelly finally puts her album out will Kelly’s fans accuse Bey of trying to steal Kelly’s shine and up staging Kelly. I sure hope not. Kelly had her shot she is not taking it. Now when Bey comes out I hope I don’t read any shade towards her Kelly had her chance.
Yesssss Trent went IN!! lol! This dude needs to get his own site, take over this one or start a vlog because he’s killing the game right now lol!
I’m glad to see that at least one of the writers on this site knows how to take an unbias position concerning artists whether they like them or not.
This album is a disaster & Kelly needs to get her ass in line! Mathew’s laughing at you boo!
PS: buy Rick Ross’ Teflon Don!
HEW is Kelly Rowland? As I’ve said, all 3 of her singles have flopped. ITS A WRAP. Nobody is checking for here in the U.S., take those stan glasses off and wake up to reality
The picture explains it all.
evverybody isn’t meant to be a huge star. i guess she’s been moderately successful, I guess, but girl just put out the album and see what happens, pushing it back isn’t going to help..
http://www.thebeatstop.b*******.com
HAHA! FLOPPING FAILURE!
oh well next
PLEASE!!! She is making the right moves, but this NEEDS to be the final Push back. Grown Woman still has a chance!
In my opinion what Kelly needs to do is the exact opposite of Xtina – in other words once this album is finally done go heavy on promotion in the UK / Europe – it might make for a tiring few weeks doing that and promo in the US, but that way she has a good chance of being up there in the euro charts and then staying there for a while. Remember her recent singles have done very well in Europe, especially collabs with David Guetta who is huge in the dance scene here.
BTW does anyone now if this new date is US only or for Europe as well – cause coming out at the same time as TS won’t be so much of a problem here. I will be well annoyed if I have to wait a week longer for Kelly just because of Taylor Swift – now where’s Kanye when you need him? Sorry – I don’t normally like to diss people, but that girl makes me want to stuff some socks in my ears.
lingling
Thank You! I can hear it NOW “BEYONCE IS TRYING TO STEAL KELLY’S SHINE” BLAH BLAH BLAH
KELLY BETTER JUST STICK TO THIS ALBUM DATE. IM SICK OF ALL THESE PUSH BACKS.
CHECK OUT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT SITE >>>> http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK
Kelly’s album can keep getting pushed back because it’s not going to sell well just like ciara new album, some people are so delusional when it comes to certain artist but, talk rubbish about more successful artist.
Didn’t she go this route for Ms.Kelly? We all know how that turned out. Kelly has so many great things to say about her new management and “great new team” but so far, I don’t see her or them doing anything differently from Matthew Knowles or Columbia records. The indecisiveness of first single choices. The fact that she’s pushing and releasing music for an album she has yet to finish recording. The push backs. I feel like I’ve seen all of this before. Is it the new trend in music to make people wait forever for your album. How many push backs does she think the public will allow her before they say to hell with her and her new album. I really hope Kelly and her “team” know what they’re doing because this is NOT a good look.
@ ko
That was too funny…
@blasian
Yeah your right, then everyone is gonna wanna blame beyonce for her flop…
“I don’t see her or them doing anything differently from Matthew Knowles or Columbia records. The indecisiveness of first single choices.The fact that she’s pushing and releasing music for an album she has yet to finish recording. The push backs.”
DING! DING! DING!
We have a winner, makes wonder if if Kelly is truly the problem herself, don’t it?
Wow! These artist need to get it together. Seriously…
http://WWW.ULISESWORLD.COM
“Jungle”- s***, tribal, exotic summer anthem. Don’t click on the link! You’re not ready for it, or are u?
Strategic Move my A**! This is giving fans a very much so repeat of what happened her last album and this time there’s no Matthew Knowles to blame for it!
Message to Kelly Rowland and Motown Universal – release UNITY as a worldwide single and support with a full promo campaign and video !!! This is the song that will elevate your solo career – guaranteed ! It’s already been tested and went straight to the TOP 10 in one region. What more do you need ? UNITY is the answer ~ <3 <3
I can be honest right now as a fan Kelly is the problem in this situation get it together it doesn’t take that long to record songs who does she think she fooling I wouldn’t be surprised if they scrap the whole thing…smh upset fan right now
@ Jaclyn … I agree 100% – Unity is the answer ! Release it Kelly and watch your career soar !!! This beautiful song was even considered for a Will Smith movie … need I say more ???
Trent, you are AWESOME! You went OFF! LOVES IT! “Merry Christmas” LMAOOOO! Too funny!
Why would she and her team release singles, have videos, etc if the album isn’t even finished? That’s ridiculous! Kelly’s first two albums lack of success were all on Matthew for not handling the business correctly and Beyonce for taking ALL of the spotlight. She is no longer tied to Matthew and Beyonce is on a break, so who is there to blame?? Maybe Kelly? Um, I’d like to think so!
Sam, cease with the stanning, because you sound extremely delusional! That’s straight B*******! Yeah, you’re not mad at the “pushback” from a “strategic standpoint to see what material is resonating with audiences,” but when it’s another artist the pushback is a result of fear from flopping? Really, Sam? Do you think Kelly’s pushback is any different from that reason? I mean, come on, the girl flopped twice before so what other reason would she keep pushing it back other than fear of flopping yet AGAIN!
…….And people have the NERVE to say Keri was going to FLOP?…Yeah ok…I recall Keri’s Album debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200 & #1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Album Charts…..
Sam is always so quick to say Keri & Nicki Minaj are only Collab Artist…Yet they are more relevant than Kelly…Come on now 🙂
OMG why is Sam going on every Kelly post that Trent has made?
Little bit sad, because he has better posts..
UNITY, UNITY, UNITY … amazing song by Kelly Rowland ! Would definitely be a hit record !!!
i will agree unity is the answer i listen to it and it sounded great these r the songs work well for her acapella soundin voice i love baby diamond thats my name for her but honestly her team i dont no may b mattew lettin off cash under the quite to get her album to fail u cant trust pple now a days but lets c what this music world ave to offer her it might just turn out great who nos she luvs them i cant say the same for them but with luv and good hart it will carry her through just my opinion
I’m sure her album will do well…….in the UK. NOBODY IS CHECKING FOR KELLY ROWLAND IN THE US!!!
I can’t wait for this site to spin her dismal sales figures. She’s gonna make Christina’s Bionic project look like a runaway smash success.
Thank you Trent! I was feeling like this was a Kelly Rowland fan-site up until now. I hope Kelly and her team can get it together because I really like Commander and Grown Woman
& another thing they shouldve never released ‘Rose Colored Glasses’ as the mainstream single. It has no hit power at all. Commander shouldve been the worldwide and mainstream US single while Grown Woman was sent to urban.
LOOK YALL GOTTA STOP BLAMIN BEY WEN KELLY OR MICHELE DONT DO GOOD.
SO YALL WANT BEY TOO QUIT DA MUSIC BIZ JUSS SO YALL FAVS CAN DO GOOD?
HA NEVA GONNA HAPPEN.
IT NOT BEY FAWLT BEY SO TALINTED
IT NOT BET FAWLT BEY SO BOOTIFUL
IT NOT BEY FAWLT DAT BEY IZ SO PERFECT N ERRBODY LUV HER.
MAYBE YO FAVS NEED TOO STEP UP THARE GAME!!
KELLY WILL DO GOOD N DA UK ONLY
N MICHELE?
I DO NO WAT SHE DOIN B*** IM SURE SHE STILL GOT SUM DC MONEY!
I’ll say again, i don’t know why artists dont have there albums ready by the time they’ve dropped the first single. Kelly could’ve dropped 4 singles by then and by the time the albums released all those songs will sound old to the listener. What could you still be recording? She should have a concept/direction for the album already, any further recordings should be for a deluxe or b-sides.
Kelly is taking a risk, she should be riding the wave of commender, if the following singles are less successful or leak, the album is down the pan
Kelly, you need to STOP this like NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like THAT GRAPE JUICE KISS OF DEATH (meaning when they like something) is in full effect.
Really, you don’t want this site pimping you out, because it means your album will EPIC FAIL.
& people will still say that Beyonce is trying to steal her shine. Bey has been gone long enough waiting for Kelly to make her move, but she can’t stop her career because Kelly wants to wait for the “right moment” to release her album. I was rooting for kelly, but clearly she is still not used to being a solo artist.
The world could use a little UNITY by Kelly Rowland right now … sweet song <3 <3
@DEV
I get what you mean, but I’m not sure you’re right – I would have thought that it was better for most artists to have several singles out before the album drops – this is just based on what I and my friends do which goes like this… you hear one of your favs is bringing out new stuff, they release lets say 2 singles so you buy those off iTunes or wherever as you want this new stuff NOW, right away, next the album drops so you get that too – but now you’ve got every single that can be released off that album already – unless the single is a different mix or something why would I buy it again – its the same with rereleases – why get the album again when all you need is to download the missing three or four tracks
————————————————————————————————
@ANON
Fine then – you don’t like her stuff and if it flops in the US you won’t have to listen to it and so you’ll be happy.
People in UK / Europe will be able to buy it and have it on the radio and so they’ll be happy.
Kelly will get money for selling and touring over here so she’ll be happy.
I’ll stand more chance of getting a ticket to one of here gigs, so I’ll be happy.
SORTED.
Too bad Beyonce is releasing an album in 2011… She mightest well push it back to 2013..
I love how any other artist who delays this much is seen as a sign of a duff album and a record company with no faith in the project but as soon as it’s Kelly Rowland it’s a clever “strategic” move!!
UNITY, UNITY, UNITY … this is Kelly’s #1 worldwide single ~ secret !!!
REALLY, SAM…YOU’RE NOT EMBARRASSED TO HAVE WRITTEN THAT? NOT EVEN A LITTLE?
NO NO NO1!!!! JUST NO!
C’MON KELLY.. NOT ANOTHER PUSH BACK… PLSSSSSSS GET IT 2GETHER.. PLLSSSS GURLL. LUV U LOADS AND STLL GONNA GET DA ALBUM..
she needs to decide what genre she wants to do!! ppl r gettin confused wid this s***!!! i se puts back one more time den i aint botherin!! dont say ur gonna bring an album out an then take yrs an yrs to pull it off probably b poo anyway.
NO YOU CAN’T BLAME MATT I DON’T SEE HOW PPL BLAME HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE OR BEYONCE
THIS IS ALL KELLY ROWLAND
NOW WHEN THE ALBUM COMES OUT AND BEYONCE DROPS HER FIRST SINGLE I DON’T WANNA HEAR A DAMN THING
BLAME KELLY !
BECAUSE YOU KNOW BEYONCE IS COMING BACK STRONG!
HURRICANE BEY!
BAYAKA need to come out next year, people are sick of her and if she comes out this year her album is going to flop!
WTF? I didn’t even know that they pushed the album back to October! This is ridiculous. Even though it’s only one week, it’s too far away! Kelly was doing quite good last month but for some reason, the hype has toned down! I don’t know what it could be… maybe because she can’t really focus on one US single! Maybe it’s because she’s not getting her paparazzi pics taken constantly. And maybe it’s because she isn’t really on any magazine covers. Many artists get that type of publicity and still fail, but at least Kelly has good music and that type of publicity could probably help with the help for her album. She’s just letting us all down. I’m really rooting for her, but it seems like she’s getting nowhere.
It is not a pushback Kelly has never confirmed any of those dates and Trent posted false information from an unreliable source. Kelly will release her date when she is ready yall just want Kelly to fail but she wont.
I agree with Janet … release UNITY – best ballad by Kelly Rowland eva !!!
to be honest im not anticipating this album , i dnt think anyone is , she is not doing anything special with her voice her videos her look , she is just blending in , and that is not enough,destinys child is not a rite of passage she still has to make us believe in her .
She needs to just release da dam album next Tuesday whoi da hell cares she’s going double plastic 2 ..only the gays will cop that. If mya n kelis have flopped kelly rowland will always flop cuz they are more talented n sexier.lol I ratherlook at kelis scary lookn self than boring kelly rowland …
i think kelly has lost it all fr the very moment she stepped out of line that was it 2005 was a fall for her when she was naked in allure knowin her christian background out of place for sum1 claim to b decent 2 bigin up the gays almost putin them over god she darn well no god is not approved of that but she tend to provoke god he is comin back to distroy them and other sin and spare us the misery and give his clean pple peace fr these unsactified philistines she need to repent and get back to god the mighty god is not jokin he will let us eat our bread out of desolate places if continue in our trespasses and provoke him until she cut out the gays stop been naked and half naked turn to him t hen she will get her shine he punishes us for been disrespectful to him just the truth notice she hasnt gotten her real shine just barely makin it because god send rain on the just and the unjust

Look don’t be mad because both of your girls are failing before they even get started. Bey has that hussel in her she is going to fight and sing and make you love her music if your not feeling it the first time. plus she has talent to back it up.
W8 people its comin. im sure when is comes out it gonna win 10 grammys in 1 nyt coz shes been working on it for over 2 years.
I will buy the album no matter the time its been released..i love my Ms.Kelly…
IM gonna support her all the way. GO KELLY!
A HOT ASS MESS! Are they really serious? Undeniable FLOP, as well as that man lookin’ biatch Ciara! I’m sooo disappointed in those h*** !!
If you think about it, Grown Woman is 62 with NO VIDEO. When you get a visual, it’s bound to go back up on the charts. You all are forgeting that Commander was NOT a US release. So, basically, she never put out the first OFFICIAL US video yet. She just has other material that has been released over seas. Please keep in mind that she might have a suprise in store and plus she got a song with Pit Bull, and we already know thats gonna be hott. Lets just wait and c…
Unity, Unity, Unity … best song by Kelly Rowland ! Fans want a video and a live performance of this gem !!!
some of you are so pressed. only the blogging world knows of commander. Nothing else. Get it together people.. while you all are “finished” and “over these pushbacks” Let’s just say that you are basing it off of STUPID S***!!! She is gonna get the promo together real good but the end of august, and especially in sept and oct in the mainstream world.. right now she is obviously going for smaller markets just so ppl can have her on their minds.. then, she will release it for the big views..
The f** this got to do w Ciara. Ci album is October. Get off ci a hole
I love love love kelly
@ NICK. ….. I TODALY AGREE WICHOO….. KELLY IS AMAZING. I JUST DNT THINK SHES BEING MANAGED VERI WELL. I JUS KNW THAT *WENEVR* TH EALBUM IS CUMIN OUT, ITL B ……A-MA-ZING!!!!!!!!!!
Why doesn’t Kelly’s label release her album in the UK & the rest of Europe now? Commander is doing very well in the UK it reached the top 10 and is still in the top 20 in England. Of course, the people that run this blog forgot to mention that!
I think Kelly has a huge following OUTSIDE of the USA so that should be their focus. For example, Kylie Minogue was never big in the USA but outside of the USA her album is selling very strongly.
An artist has to focus on the markets where they are huge and Kelly’s team need to be focusing on the international markets NOT the USA market.
It seems to me they are making R&B songs to attract the black music fans but I think that is wrong. Focus on Europe and forget about America!
