This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is Lana. The 24 year old, Houston, Texas native serves up her own rendition of Kelly Rowland‘s new Urban hit ‘Motivation’.
Check out the clip below:
Though the song doesn’t call for sheer vocal horsepower, it does demand great vocal control – which Lana displayed bountifully. Perhaps not as effortless as Kelly’s version, yet solid all the same.

LOL she is alright but did anyone notice the blatant pushing the breastices together almost seducing the watcher to take attention away from the song itself and get signed on her sex appeal almost. Well all i’m saying is her boobs were more memorable than the song in this

Good voice, with potential! She sells a lot of seduction too. If I was working with her, I’d find something that fits her range better, where she can push pass the vocals of the original song and would for the most part look more flattering for her. She has a decent tone, but she still haven’t mastered technique, yet. She was straining and reaching for some notes and I think that showed more of her weaknesses than her strengths. I do like that she seems to have a developed falsetto, but it’s hard to enjoy it when you hear a person having to go in and out of it (switching from that to singing out) and not doing so too gracefully . Kelly even struggles to do that live herself, but she does it with ease on her studio music. What I’d have prefer to hear this girl sing is Ashanti’s “Rock wit U (Awww baby)” song. It’s the perfect pace for her and the range works and the ending is great to show off her falsetto.

she sings well yet needs to learn how to control her voice. And please spare us the bitchy attitude. we have enough hoes in the industry and the girl doesn’t need this.

This is my first tym watchin a cover star clip cus i love this song so mch. I agree with royalkev this song is not great for her range bt kudos to her for doing this. Some cowards behind type w/o thinking. She clearly doesnt sing it better than kelly like someone said she missed kelly’s sensual tone our

She has decent set of vocals but she is struggling with some of the notes. Anyway she still
sound good but not as good Kelly. If she keeps working at it she could become a good
singer.

She need some “MOTIVATION”, but not to sing this song, to take vocal lessons.
This has to be a joke.
