It’s official! Kelly Rowland has defied the odds to land the top spot on the Billboard chart!
Full story below….
After 10 weeks on the chart, the 30 year old’s Urban smash ‘Motivation’ hit #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Chart. The Lil Wayne assisted cut jumps #2-#1, knocking last week’s chart topper Miguel and his ‘Sure Thing’ into second place. Meanwhile on the Hot 100, the sensual track climbs #26-#21.
Monumental in more ways than one, the feat sees ‘Motivation’ become Rowland’s biggest solo hit to date. A fact made even more noteworthy as it was only ever sent to Urban and Rhythmic radio (not Mainstream nor Pop).
While this is hands down vindication for Rowland, she’ll need to follow-up with another banger, if she and her label are to capitalise on the success of this ahead of the release of her ‘Here I Am’ LP.
For now, though, it’s safe to say: Kelly Rowland – the solo star- has finally arrived!

I’m ecstatic!!!!!!! My day is definitely off to a good start!!!! Congrats Kell
Perfect GIF!!!!!! She has definitely arrived!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS KELLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! JUSTICE IS HERREEE!
Congrats Kelly! Not sure about the arrival part though. Have to wait and see!
Congrats…I was wondering why it wasn’t doing well on the hot 100, but 21 is good for a track like motivation. I’d like to see her promote it.
Congrats to my fav!!! Vote 4 Motivation 0n 106 & Park! Lets make it back #1 today! http://www.bet.com/shows/106-and-park/106-park-voting.html?cid=twitter
Wow, Im shocked! First I thought it was the overall billboard charts, but I should have known it would be damn near impossible for Kelly to ever get a #1 in the overall billboard charts. It really don’t matter at this point because she will most definitely flop like Ciara IF and that’s a big IF a album is released!
GO SHINE GO SHINE GO SHINE GO SHINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
GIVE IT TO ME KELLY
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINING!!
HATERS HIT YOUR HEAD AGAINST THE WALL PLEASEEEEEEE..
#TEAMKELLY

that is awesome news, we her true fans are happy to see her success in usa. its funny dat kelly has not promoted this single yet she climbs the charts n hit no1. we defintely need a new single.
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KELLY!, WELL DESERV IT!
In your face naysayers!!!!!…Kelly Snatching wigs with no promo…Yes
OMG i am so happy for Ms Kelly this is just the beginning. see when success ultimately come its real and pure go kelly got ur back
@kelly
wow, it seems like u and prosperity have never crossed paths. yours words are so vile
sam, u better not play me like that again, got me thinkin hot 100- still impressive tho
@BeyKnight No my words are the truth! I learn through life not to sugar coat things to believe something that’s not true, it only leads to disappointment!
Get it Kelly! Congrats!
It’s 2011, girls and boys. No one cares about R’n’B charts anymore, that era is over.
(Btw congrats, but this is 2011. R’n’B is over for a while. I know it’s hard to hear, but that’s the truth.)
Go Kelly baby go go go go !!! #1 yeahhhhhhhhhh show them how it’s done and with NO promo !!! That’s wats up
Is anyone cares??
We only care for #1 on Hot 100.
Not r&b, pop or something s*** like this…
U get me?
Now go mad.
Thats Whats Up!!!! Good for Ms. Kelly!!!
Happy for her
@FlopJuice Yes RnB is over until someone brings out something innovative and special, to get it popping again, instead of all this recycled AutoTune, low budget b******* thats just thrown together! RnB needs something fresh, but the record companies are not trying to take the risks so we are pretty much struck!
contgratz but i have a feeling the second single will not do as good as this one!
@FLOP JUICE OH SHUT UP!
r n b isnt gone no where as you can see motivation is evident of that right here!!! r n b is alive.
@KELLY tell him.
you are defo right bout that
I’m so happy for her. The song is great and I love Miguel’s “Sure Thing”. Too bad these songs don’t have the same success on the main chart, it would be so much more versatility if they did.
LOVE this site GRAPEJUICE.NET, keep up da fab work……… NOT into the whole celeb party going circuit much these days though I know I should but the people are just so FAKE………SHYTE!!!looool. But at least with GRAPEJUICE.NET I never miss out on whats happening in the world of entertainment. Thanks.
OH YEA CONGRATS KELLY ROWLAND, see I told ya its just a matter of time people see just how TALENTED you are within your own right. KELLY ROWLAND TO DE WERL!!! AWOAH!!!
I see the haters are up early and out in full force. Congrats to Kelly. Shitting with no Promo at all! She has snatched Cedric and Stanki Hilson right out the game. I don’t wanna hear s*** about nobody cares about R&B/ HIp Hop charts. When Breezy hit number one on there you all were the first queens in there congratulating him. Show Kelly some damn respect. She’s done what was said to be the impossible, which is have a Hit. She has a Hit and yall mad. Realize that his girl is doing big things.
Congrats again Kelly. You’re fulfilling your destiny.
She deserves it…..
Yesss! Congrats Kelly!! So proud of her! And that Gif is everything Sam! lmao
#TEAMKELLYROWLAND!!!! SO PROUDDDDDDDDDD
Congrats Kelly !!! Can’t wait 2 buy ur album !
I love to hear that. I have been waiting for this, shut the nay sayers. Go girl. Keep it hope. I have faith in you and your craft from day one.
You deserve it and Michelle also. Hope to get a dc3 reunion, Idk if it is in 10 yrs time.
Good Job Kells….
I think “s**” songs and “techno/pop” songs are sure sellers.
I hope she releases the album. I cant wait to hear it.
Big frickin deal… even Chrs Brown gets no1 on the R and B charts
Congrats Kellzzzz! Woop
You better work Kelendria!! I swear from the first time I heard Motivation I said to myself this is Kelly’s hit right here. Glad to see I was right.
she hasnt even promote the song
Go kelly!
she hasnt even promoted* the song
Go kelly!
Not gonna lie, Kelly deserves a congratulations for this. She has done ZERO promo. I think that says ALOT! I hope she and her team handle this project alot better this time around. She needs to release her second sinlge ASAP, which should be another R&B banger and not a dance record. Mainly because it’ll confuse and sort of alienate the audience that she’s pulled in with “Motivation.” She needs to start her promo NOW going on shows like 106 & Park and she DEFINITELY needs to peform at the BET awards.
LOL people just cannot stand to see this woman shine!! Can Kelly be great? This is a big accomplishment considering how she’s been trying to get solo success in the states. This is only the beginning. She has been living her dream regardless though. And what are you doing besides sitting at your computer being negative?
how c** when trey songz has had numerous number 1’s on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts and one of them (can’t be friends) equaled records for how long it was number 1, is he considered a flop, but when kelly rowland has 1 she’s sum sort of superstar :/?
congrats kelly good to hear the song is doing big thangs with NO promo good for her and i cant wait for the album.
Congratz to Kelly,she deserves it……
The only people upset are Beyonce fans and people that hate Chris because Kelly and Chris are cool!
Do it Kelly gyrl because atleast she CAN sing!
ACTUALLY NOT ALL BEYONCE FANS ARE MAD..IM A BEYONCE STAN BUT I GIVE KELLY HER PROPS SHE DESERVES IT
Congrats Kelly! I love this song, I will be buying her album to show support.
Proof that urban wins ! Trying to make dance pop records is hit or miss but by trying for her natural base she is winning and relevant ! The crossover will come . Be Black first!
@Sam —
“While this is hands down vindication for Rowland” <– SAM, ER….NO..!!
Kelly Rowland is a FAKE and A FRAUD! She's NOT unlike Rihanna, Halle Berry and Paula Patton…
Furthermore.. This is a 'Wayne Song'..!! 30-something-year old Kelly Rowland does NOT have the "IT" (heavily photoshopped/foundation-to-the-max/wigged-out fabulosity withstanding..) to push a song to the "Top" of the charts.
"A fact made even more noteworthy as it was only ever sent to Urban and Rhythmic radio (not Mainstream nor Pop)." <– Huh…?! Sorry, NO..!!! This means NOTHING! Didn't Nelly have a hit on "Urban/Rhythmic radio", but couldn't convert that into CD sales? Matter of a fact, his single was ALSO atop the Mainstream charts – still, the CD that followed did poorly.
If any Ciara fans/supporters needs any more "MOTIVATION" to now 'go-in on/take-down' this 30-something-year-old fraud, this is it..!!
X,Y,"and Z"
this is nice good job kelly and she did no promo at all she better get some mtv video music awards noms
Yasssssss so happy. LOVE this song.
She got this without major promotion. congrats!
So read that its Beyonce’s fans hating on Kelly…how in the hell did you draw that conclusion? Most Beyonce fans love Kelly as well. SMH
A video is promo dumbass- her video has ben out for about 3 months now
After a lot years of hard work she deserve it! Im so hzppy 4 her. But now she need to an international “triomphe”. I’m french and I live in Paris. I Never heard motivation on the radio for example…
I mad as hell that Scotty’s single is now #1 on itunes….WTF?? This dude wasn’t that good.
CONGRATS KELLY!!! YOU DESERVED IT 😀
If nobody cares about R’n’B/Urban charts, why are you even on a R’n’B/Urban blog? 😉
Anyways good job Kelly Rowland
haters haters haters…you would think bey fans would be happy for her…so what if she’s whoopin bey’s ass on BOTH CHARTS
I dont usually leave comments..but i got to for my girl Kelly…Congrats on all ur success..it is well deserved…love ya…You the best!!!
Great song with no promo!! Bustin down the charts!!!
Go on Ms. Kelly!!!
TO A-L-L CIARA FANS…
The Industry is trying to kill Ciara!
They’re trying to come-at/come-for and KILL Ciara! They’re tying to give HER spot to 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland! If you’re a TRUE Ciara fan/supporter, you can HELP Ciara by coming-for/going in on Fake/No-Talent Kelly Rowland!
If Ciara’s fans/supporters are serious, I have a plan! I have a plan(a way) to get “The Industry” to Ignore Kelly Rowland and THEN move BACK to Ciara’s music.
(How?) We need to NOW call-into/email/text/facebook page-post the different Urban Radio Stations, and THEN request Ciara’s music. IF we do that ‘enough,’ it’ll force the Radio Stations to NOT play Kelly Rowland’s music, as much/as often. If we do it “in enough numbers,” we just might be able to force her single completely off the “Urban-Music Radio playlists”…
LISTEN TO ME CIARA FANS, if you’re serious, then WE CAN BRING BACK CIARA, WHILE DOING SOME DAMAGE TO FAKE OLD-A** KELLY ROWLAND..!!
I JUST setup an email address: ciarathebest123@yahoo.com <– GET AT ME Ciara fans, if y'all are serious about putting Ciara BACK ontop (and getting rid of Old A** Fake/Fraud 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland!)
X,Y,"and Z"
@GHETTO FAB Why you try to come at Chris fans, I am a big Chris fan and I love this song by Kelly. Chris gave Kelly props on his twitter last night. So come at Bey fans, not Chris fans.R & B has a category on every award show, so its important to Black folks.
Congratulation Ms Kelly on this success and the many more to come. I love it.
@SECRET VOICE
No one even mentioned Beyonce or thought about it till your pressed ass felt the need to infect this post with your bullshyt. This is why Beyonce stays getting flack, becuase pressed ass flops like you feel the need to bring her name up in ANY and EVERYTHING when it doesnt have anything to do with her. Im a Beyonce stan for LIFE, but this post was to congratualte Kelly and every comment on this post was a positive one or at least had to do with Kelly. PLease have a seat and take your shyt somehwere else. ITs people like you why we cant even have a decent discussion about pop artists without having stan wars. GTFOH .
#ThatIsAll.
@XYZ you are tripping, Kelly is very talented and this isn’t about Ciara. The song is hot and s***, song I want to play when I am with my man. Ciara had her chance to bring on and she will get another chance, but don’t take this away from Kelly, she has worked hard to get recognize in the US after the split with Beyonce and Beyonce is dominating all the Shows now with her promo, so this is a huge accomplishment for a black women with no promo.
CONGRATS KELLY YOU TRULY DESERVE THIS, YOUR SONG IS A MAJOR HIT !!!!!!!!!!! YOUR VERY BEAUTIFUL & TALENTED & CLASSY !!!!!!!! GREAT JOB !!!!!! THIS IS A KELLY SONG FOR THE DUMMY MENTIONING WAYNE, HE HAD A SMALL PART, THIS HAD KELLY ALL OVER IT !!!
@Zania —
Kelly Rowland knows NOTHING about “black folks” (well, not black men – she said “Men like Orlando Bloom are THE most beautiful men in the world”)..!!
If you support righteousness, if YOU love black people you CAN’T support 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland..!!
Kelly Rowland is a FAKE – A FRAUD..!!
X,Y,”and Z”
ONLY F*** OBSESS OVER THE HOT 100, THAT IS EXACTLY WHY LADY GAGA AND BRITNEY SPEARS DOMINATE THAT, F** MUSIC… BUT ANYWAY KELLY IS NUMBER 1 ON THE R&B CHARTS, WHAT ARE YALL DOIN WITH YOUR LIVES? LMAO, AND WHERE IS BEYONCE ON THE R&B CHARTS? #30 LOL, AND ON THE HOT 100? WHO KNOWS? FAR BEHIND KELLY THOUGH LOL
@Pat
PLEASE don’t start! You do NOT wanna do it.
Congrats Ms. Kelly!!! I knew his song was gonna hit #1 and its #21 on the billboard Hot 100 which is a real accomplishment considering slow jams don’t hit the 100 these days anymore. So you haters can STFU with all that bulls**t talkin about her #1 not being important. When Chris Brown hit #1 yall were all over him, so give Ms. Kelly the same respect or go follow these non-talented auto-tuned singers. Kelly really needs to get on the ball with the promo though while this #1 and steady moving up the 100. We need to see some performances on upcoming award shows, live TV interviews on The View, Ellen, Today’s Show, Good Morning America….etc. Radio promos are great, but she is #1 on mediabase for airplay so that part of the promos needs to come to a close until she releases the next single when motivation starts to lose steam. RnB still sells! I mean look at Keyshia Cole, even though her recent CD hasnt done well but her last 2 CD pulled great numbers and chart positions on the Hot 200 for an RnB artist. With the right promo she could have the same effect and at least go platinum.
@jayla
you need to stfu beyonce has nothing to do with this post F*** OUTTA HERE TRYING TO START STAN WAR..LIKE I SAID B4 CONGRATZ KELLY YOU DESERVE IT
Im so glad my 3 faves r slaying. Queen kelly queen adele and queen gaga.
CONGRATULATIONS TO MISS KELENDRIA TRENE ROWLAND!!! 🙂
She def deserves all the SHINE that she is getting. This Song will hopefully Continue to climb the Charts. If she gets some TV Promotion Time she could easily turn this Single into a Top 10 Billboard HIt.
She Also had the #1 Video on 106&Park this past Tuesday and Now Sits Pretty at #2!!!
I’m looking forward to live TV performances, A Hot Single Single and a Solid Album Release Date!
Let’s Go #TEAMKELLY and All the #ROWLDAWGS out there keep supporting Ms. Rowland and pushing her forward into even more SOLO SUCCESS!
Very little push from pop radio… This is a feat indeed!
Very good look…
Why cant yall just let Kelly be great without bringing other artists into this ???
Like if you want keep bringing up how Motivation is doing better than RTW, fine. But just know that theyre just singles that you are comparing. a stan (like myself) will drag your ass to the pits of hell and back to Iraq because you know when it comes down to it, comparing their singles is pointless when you look at their overall careers.
#OOP.
@AMAZING LEE…Sweetie and you are??? lol….whateva pathetic read you attempt still won’t change the fact of kelly and bey’s current chart status…with bey having to do OPRAH and AMERICAN IDOL in order to not be a TOTAL FLOP on the charts
@CHRIS J
IM NOT TRYING TO START ANYTHING BUT I’M TIRED OF NO LIFE PEOPLE TRYING TO PUT THIS GIRL DOWN BECAUSE ITS NOT THE HOT 100 WHILE THE SAME PEOPLE PRAISE BEYONCE AND SHE’S NOT DOING WELL ON NEITHER CHART,
Ciarathebest123@yahoo.com <– Get at me Ciara fans/supporters. If y'all are serious, WE can put Ciara BACK ontop, AND TAKE DOWN "Old-HO KE-RO"..!!
Ciara has OVER 1-Million Twitter Followers, if a fraction of y'all want to join me, I'll GLADLY spend my time and devise ways/plans on how to PUT CIARA BACK ON TOP, while going after 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland..
KELLY ROWLAND DOES NOT LIKE BLACK MEN: "Men who look like Orlando Bloom are the MOST attractive men!" <–Kelly Rowland's very own words..!! (how can any HETEROSEXUAL black man support Kelly Rowland after that is well-beyond me! Maybe something to do with 25-years of Oprah Winfrey's emasculation and such..)
She only used Roy Williams to get more shine in order to go after white men – F*** HER..!!
DON'T BE FOOLED: DON'T SUPPORT HER..!!
GET AT ME, Ciara fans/supporters (ciarathebest123@yahoo.com) – if y'all wanna do some..'damage' then I'll roll with y'all…
(REALEST OF TALK..!!)
X,Y,"and Z"
YES Kelly!
AND HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELVES STANS? GET A F****** LIFE LMAO, GOOD BYE
ALL IM GOING SAY IS GOOD FOR KELLY SHE WORKED HER ASS TO GET TO WHERE SHE IS AND SO DID BEYONCE SO THATS ALL
Congratulation to Kelly !!!
NOW IT’S TIME FOR MICHELLE TO COMEBACK AND KILL IT !
I have never once left a comment…but i go to this site because im a kelly rowland fan and you guys support her when other blogs dont…and when she gets big then all the blogs are gunna hop on her jock…trying to act like they supported her from jump…anyways with that being said…Im glad shes getting her shine and maybe for once shell get some recognition…and to the person saying she only got it cuz wayne is on the track..you might be right…but lets think about it…wtf difference does it make….if nicole went number one with her song would people say it went number 1 because of 50 cent ….people dont say Katty Perry’s song only went number 1 because Kanye is on it….at the end of the day some of you guys need to check your mentality and understand you DONT WANT HER TO SUCCEED…and when you dont want somebody to succeed because you dont like their face or hair or any thing like that…your a hater…and kelly wouldnt want you as a fan anyways 🙂
Where da hell were alllllllllllllll yall Kelly Rowland stans last yr, or the yr b4 dat?????? Exactly!!!!!!! Ppl just jumped on Kelly Rowlands bandwagon simply bcuz they dnt like QUEENBEYS RTW!!!!!! #FACT
NUMBER 1 IS NUMBER 1 IS NUMBER 1…NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE HAS TO SAY.
@TORI re: May 26, 2011 at 2:46 pm —
You’re comparing CBreezy to….’30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland’..??
I’ll give YOU the benefit of doubt: you’re retarded and not completely stupid, so your actions aren’t wholly yours to be held accountable for!
(just turned 22 y/o) CBreezy is TALENTED..!!
30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland is little better than Rihanna: Photoshoped to the max/Wigged-out/Hyped-to-extremes/can’t sing/can’t dance/can’t write.. Just get on-stage/in-front of the camera and look cute! Is THAT all it takes? (apparently Urban Radio thinks so..)
Ciara is younger, FAR-better looking, FAR-more talented and is well-more deserving of success than fake, fraud ‘OLD-HO KE-RO’…!!
CBreezy is…a movement for/in righteousness …!!
Kelly Rowland is smoke and mirrors/hype and can ONLY “sell black p****..!!”
X,Y,”and Z”
Actually I personally think Kelly got this #1 mainly on her own merit, because the song is s*** and I like Kelly verse better than Wayne. Wayne solo song 6 foot 7 didn’t hit #1 on the chart, his song with Chris- Look at me now did hit #1, so give Kelly credit, its not all about wayne, both artist contribute to the success of this song.
@Pat
How the f*** can you call ANYONE a flop when you stan for KELLY FREAKING ROWLAND! Seriously? Like I said, I’m happy for her, but alot of you fans go about her MINOR success (emphasis on minor) too far. Let’s be real she’s number one on the R&B charts, correct? What other artists are getting praised for being number one on the R&B charts? Hmmmmm……NOBODY! The only reason Sam posted this BS was because it’s Kelly Rowland. This is just proof that a #1 on R&B charts is Kelly’s PEAK and the best she’s done in her, what? 8 or 9 year solo career? Are you kidding me? Cool Beyonce has a “FLOP” song, yet with that one flop song she’ll STILL have more success then Kelly could EVER dream about. You could ramble on about this ONE successful single, yet you b****** was crying and dying when her album was getting serially delayed for well over a year. And you wanna talk about ONE single? LOL! Child…….
This s*** is so funny because everybody calls Beyonce old and tells her she needs to go sit down somewhere and have kids, yet Kelly’s the same age (a smidgen older, as well) and she’s JUST NOW having minor success with her 3rd album? GET. THE. F***. OUTTA. HERE.
And I like Kelly SOMETIMES, just gotta spill the tea.
Carry on…….
YESSSSSSS
@Tori you are talking about auto tune and Kelly last interview she stated that her favorite song right now is Chris Brown Beautiful People which is in the top 5 in UK. Most of the top 10 songs on the hot 100 is auto tune, its that new europe sound. Chris try to appeal to all generes, he has songs that are not autotune- no b*******, up to you, all back, next to you. wet to bed.
30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland’s coming CD will FLOP..!!
Didn’t Nelly have a #1 Urban AND Mainstream single? What about Bruno Mars? We saw them on TV, heard them on radio doing all sorts of promo. And what then happened? NOTHING..!!
Both their CDs flopped!
Kelly Rowland has no substance to her!
Kelly Rowland said: “Orlando Bloom, and men who look like him, are the best looking men!”
30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland can’t sing.
30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland can’t dance.
30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland can’t write.
30-year-old-Kelly Rowland has ZERO TALENT..!!
Why then would any black man (heterosexual) support her? SHE DOESN’T WANT YOU..!!
X,Y”and Z”
I hate wen ppl try and pit QUEENBEY against Kelly Rowland!!!!!!! Jus make sure yall support and buy Kelly Rowlands album wen it come out next yr!!!!! (im quite sure she will do a push back)
@AMAZINE IF you have all the prom that Beyonce have and have every legend trying to convince the world that she is the best, she should do better than everyone including Lady Gaga. She even have the First lady promoting for her. Last night on Idol they called her an icon, I don’t thinks so. Most of her success was when she was in a group, I think the whole group should get there props.
And it starts…. and I see how s*** starts now.
ALL of Beyonce congratulated Kells, but its easy to pit Beyonce against any artist because her fans will defend. Again, none of Beyonce fan said anything negative.
Yall really gone talk chart positions??? SMH?
That GIF is epic! im soo stealing it
@Amazing Lee
I knew they would take you there….LOL.
P.S. Even Chris Breezy said on Twitter that “Kelly Rowland is SO DAMN FINE!” He also said “leave his girl alone, he’s in LOVE with KELLY ROWLAND”
Hey Sam when is she going to perform this or does anyone else on here have any info on that?
WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY TO GO KELLY!! You deserve this 110%. I must say that I didn’t see this coming so quickly, but I’m glad it did because this has been a long time coming for her. Can’t wait for the album!

________________________________________________________________
You dont think she Iconic, but apparently there are alot of ppl who do.
And most of her success came from her solo efforts, not while she was in the group.
@Zania
Girl, PLEASE. What are talking about? NO ONE right now is bigger than Lady Gaga right now. And again, what did Gaga have to do with anything anyway? You can’t defend Kelly with Kelly, so you bring up Gaga?
And yes most of her success was in a group (just like Kelly) so what’s your point? Does that dispute the fact that she has also had a successful solo career? And may I add more successful then any of the other group members? O_o Oh ok……
@~AMAZING.LEE~ re:May 26, 2011 at 3:07 pm —
You know, as much shade I throw at Beyonce, even I gotta admit “That’s the hardest working chick in the game!” PERIOD..!!! (that’s not to say that I won’t continue to go-in-on/come-for her for what Jay-Z has done to CBreezy – that’s another story..)
But Kelly Rowland is a hasbeen! She’s WELL-INTO her 30s! She’s NO Spring Chicken. She’s NOT AT ALL Talented – she doesn’t even make the effort..!!
For all that she’s said(“White Men Are THE MOST Beautiful Men”), for all that I’ve witnessed – I can’t support her. She disgusts me, in each and every conceivably way..!! I can’t see why ANY Black Man (heterosexual) could EVER/would EVER support Kelly Rowland..
X,Y,”and Z”
I am f****** excited #ThatsAll
LOVE YOU KELLY!!!
GO KELLY! 🙂
I LOVE THIS SONG!!
If Kelly Rowland really has a hit on her hands why is she taking so long to release her album???
BILLBOARD: “MOTIVATION” is #1 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, #21 on HOT 100, #18 on Radio Songs, #25 on Digital Songs and #4 on Ringtones #1 on Urban radion and #11 on Rhythmic!
I just thought is a GOOD IDEA to let you guys know!!
Ya’ll can try and devalue and discredit Kelly’s accomplishment all ya’ll want, but bottom line, KELLY’S NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
@Mr. T
LOL! It’s a shame, because I came to congratulate Kelly and I honestly think this is a start of good things that will happen for her. But when these Kelly Rowland stans (Kelly Rowland?) start ish by trying to call out Beyonce fans for NO reason, then they should expect some retaliation.
Beyonce fans didn’t even mention Beyonce but a Kelly fan/stan does, yet they wanna complain and b**** about how Beyonce doesn’t want Kelly to get her shine? PUH-LEASE!
@BE BETTER NOT “BITTER!” re:May 26, 2011 at 3:17 pm —
” Even Chris Breezy said on Twitter that “Kelly Rowland is SO DAMN FINE!” He also said “leave his girl alone, he’s in LOVE with KELLY ROWLAND” <— 0~o
I wonder if Breezy knows that 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland said: "Orlando Bloom, and men who look like him, are THE most attractive men!" I'm sure that, if he did, he'd reconsider who HE supports!
I can't blame him (other black women have fooled/used/abused him): Rihanna, Jasmine Sanders, Robin Roberts, Oprah Winfrey…
I'm SURE that if CBreezy knew 'THE REAL DEAL' about Kelly Rowland, he'd reconsider, if not take-back, his words/sentiments/feelings…

Go kelly 🙂
@Amazee Beyonce is a real good entertainer, but she doesn’t have songs that we will listen to 20 years from now, like Michael Jackson- Thriller, Madonna- Like a virgin, Whitney Houston – I will always love you. What song does she has that is a classic. If you are good you don’t need all your celebrity friends and Jay friends to vouch for how good you are, your music and talent will speak for you. She has everyone Promoting her songs and they are garbage. She isn’t a great dancer, she booty shake, She isn’t Janet Jacksons, so I think they are overhyping her up because of popularity and she is in good with the first lady.
X,Y,”and Z”
Sit the f*** down. The show has started and no one is here to see you…Kelly is running this ONE WOMAN SHOW.
Run The World (Girls) is at #50 on the US Hot 100. “Motivation” is at #21.
Go figure.
Also, Bruno Mars hasn’t flopped…his debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans has sold 1,036,000 copies in the US and 500,000 in the UK thus far. Sit. Be quiet while you’re at it.

Congrats. Finally. Her success inevitable. Kudos to her.
@Kelly
May 26, 2011 at 1:07 pm
Wow, Im shocked! First I thought it was the overall billboard charts, but I should have known it would be damn near impossible for Kelly to ever get a #1 in the overall billboard charts. It really don’t matter at this point because she will most definitely flop like Ciara IF and that’s a big IF a album is released!
**********************
You know what @kelly, here you are again “flapping your gums”! For Kelly Rowland to have a #1 song without DC is a great accomplishment! I’m tired of you ppl thinking that songs that don’t make it to the top 10 list on Billboards “Pop Charts” aren’t impressive! Kelly is an R&B artist who also is known for making great Dance music! She dosen’t need to be “Queen of the Pop Charts”!
Yall gt me excited with my jaws hittin the floor!!! However i though yall were talking bout billboard hot 100!!!! Kelly cud never hot100. Guess we just hv to say well done kelly for hvin a number 1 sumwhere in the USA without DC3
@Amazing Plus It is obvious that Jay told Rihanna to fall back from the public eye so Beyonce can get some attention. You know there was post or two every day about Rihanna. She is getting extreme promo and attention, lets see how she does. By the way her song isn’t on the Hot 100 at all. Go Kelly

what are you talking bout if thats the case neither is f***** kelly rowland THIS B**** GOT A NUMBER SINGLE ON THE HIP HOP AND R&B CHARTS NOW YALL THINK SHE RUNNING S***!
@X,Y AND 2
YOU ARE SO DUMB ITS SO ANNOYING. THAT YOU CANT EVEN COMMEND A GOOD THING. I REMEMBER WHEN THE SONG FIRST CAME OUT BEFORE THE VIDEO DID, I SAW YOU STUPID COMMENTS ON IT AND OTHER KELLY SONGS POSTED HERE AND ALL YOU SAID WAS ”FLOP”
LAST TIME I CHECKED, FLOP ISNT MAKING IT TO NUMBER ON THE BILLBOARD CHART, ITS CALLED SUCCESS BY REACHING THE TOP. SO IF YOU CANT ACKNOWLEDGE A GOOD THING, PLS DONT POST COMMENTS ON ANY KELLY ROWLAND POST EXCEPT ITS A GOOD THING OR POSITIVE CRITICISM.
#TEAMKELLY
@Chris J Kelly is #21 and Beyonce is #50 on the hot 100 so Kelly urban song is doing good on that chart, by next week it will be in the top 20 and it will be considered as a hit on hot 100.
#1 on R&B chart, no live promo. Respect Kelly, respect . . .

@MUNI re:May 26, 2011 at 3:28 pm —
So what?!
Nelly had a Top-10 Mainstream AND R&B single(http://www.billboard.com/#/artist/nelly/chart-history/383300) his CD then did badly!
(Oh, 30-year-old Kelly Rowland also piggy-backed on his single ‘Dilemma’ and it made its way to #1. We didn’t hear from her after that, now did we?)
Kelly Rowland will FAIL/FLOP/FLUBBER-ALONG.. (why?) Because there’s no “IT FACTOR” to her! She’s JUST LIKE RIHANNA: Hype/Photoshop/Hysteria…Zero Talented..
Kelly Rowland: “Orlando Bloom, and men who look like him are THE most attractive!” So why now should I feel compelled to support her? GET THE F*** OUTTA HERE..!!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!
OOOK GOOD FOR KELLY BUT WHY BASH BEYONCE?? THO
i am finally glad that we are now dealing with that one mentally retarded person the way we were supposed to, ignore him. lovely….glad that Kelly is doing well as well as her sister and good music is coming out again. Bey, Adele, Kelly i,m not mad at either of them. great news.
True Talent !!!!!! Love Motivation !!!
@Chris J It just show you how talented Kelly is because she accomplish this without all the tv promo and Jay celebrity friends and business partners promoting her as an artist. I think the same performance that Beyonce put on , Kelly could do the same if given the same platform from industry. Beyonce is money, so of course Jay will make her stand out and use money to put on a fantastic show to separate her from the rest.
@Zania
I’m not about to go into detail about her so-called “classic” songs. And I just don’t understand how people can b**** about her not having classic songs and then compare her to MJ, WHITNEY, and MADONNA! You do realize that you’re comparing her to the most influential and most ICONIC artists EVER? NO ONE in the industry currently could compare to those artists and their work, so why compare Beyonce? Maybe because she’s the closest thing to them than any other artist currently? And then say she isn’t Janet Jackson?? NO ONE IS JANET FREAKING JACKSON, DUMMY! Geez, you people do go BALLISTIC when she’s compared to legends and icons, but in reality you guys do it the most! You compare her to those people knowing she can’t compete with them, but you fail to realize the NO ONE ELSE CAN EITHER! LOL! To me, it indicates that other artists that were in their prime starting from when Beyonce began her career in DC, can’t compete with her, so you compare her to the GREATS! Flattering. 🙂
@ZANIA
I LOVE KELLY BUT LETS FACE IT SHE DOES NOT HAVE THAT IT FACTOR..IM NOT GONNA LIE KELLY PUT OUT GREAT MUSIC IN THE PAST..BUT SHE DOESNT HAVE IT.

What? Jay told Rihanna to fall back in the public eye? LMAO! Are you serious? For what reason? Because of some less than relevant blogs? Rihanna was getting two or three posts a day? BAAAAAAAABBBBBBBAAAWWWWWWWAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I seriously CANNOT with that illogical b*******! This chick talking blogs and two and three posts a day? LMAOOOOOOOO!!! F*** outta here, man!
Go Kelly!
aww..im so happy for her..:)..love kelly..
…Best Buy went Bankrupt so they working with Apple to give away these $1,000 giftcards for ANYTHING Apple at their store!! I use 2 emails & got 2..lol http://ow.ly/51XCK
@AMAZING No I compared her to the ICONS because last night Ryan on the american Idol called her an ICON. We know money talks, like I said Beyonce and Jay are money.
YESSSSSSSSS! Im sooooo happy for Kelly! Can’t wait for her and Bey’s albums!
POOR FLOPYONCE, KELLY IS SLAYING AND FUGYAWNCE STAY RELEASING S***** ASS SONGS
1+1 = FLOP NO.2
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Wait…..What?
Chris Brown, Breezy, CB <—– WHY IS HIS NAME BEING MENTIONED ON THIS POST?
Last I checked this was a post congratulating Kelly Rowland on the success of a "BANGER" she produced. She displayed Miguel who also had a "BANGER" with SURE THING! Its funny that ppl who claim to dislike an artists obsess over him more than his fans!! ~__~ (side eye)
congrats kelly, after all this hard work….
now for people who claims that the r&b charts dont mean s***, shut the f*** up and sit ur delusional a** down..
this bish has been working her a** off, and it has finnally paid off, and people want to sit here and talk s***…
do we really want to sit here and compare her to that other broad?
so far kelly is winning, get over it
I can’t with HATERS man? Come on the WOMAN is #1 End of Story!!!
@Zania
So wait, what does their money have to do with anything? Please don’t tell me you’re saying that Beyonce and Jay paid them to call her an icon. LOL!
Need proof/validation that Kelly Rowland’s next CD will Flop?
Need proof that her Single/CD will NOT go Platinum (Gold?)
Nelly’s single (Just A Dream) went Platinum (http://riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?content_selector=gold-platinum-searchable-database), but yet the CD then failed – BADLY..!!
A #1 on the R&B/Hip Hop charts does NOT for a Gold/Platinum Single/CD make..!!
If Nelly can’t do it; If Rihanna can’t do it, why do you think 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland can?
@Ciara Fans/Supporters, GET AT ME (Ciarathebest123@yahoo.com.) If we call-into/write-into/text/facebook post the different Radio Stations, we can THEN get them to play CIARA’S MUSIC, and NOT FAKE, FRAUD 30-Something-Year-Old “Ho-Ke-Ro”..!!

“do we really want to sit here and compare her to that other broad?”
What other broad, darling? LOL! Let’s not, when a KELLY FAN/STAN started the comparisons with “that other broad.”
QUEENBEY song might be a flop for u but that flop came out way after Kelly Rowlands song, and QUEENBEY is releasing her album next month. So is Kelly Rowland afriad of flopping again????? Bcuz her cd should b coming out b4 QUEENBYS, since her song is such a hit and was released 3 months ago. We all kno she will be doing another push back
Great news :]
@ QUEENBEY WILL ALWAYS S*** ON UR FAVE AND LEAVE THEM NO OPTION BUT 2 POUT
I guess Beyonce is still a bigger start than KELLY so is better if she goes first cos she will never FLOP! we would like to think so?!
Something is telling me she is goin to wait right until her album is suppose to drop b4 she starts promoting. Ciara did da same thing and we all kno how that story ended……………37k
KCongrats kelly but im gonna say im sure beyonce isn’t worried about getting a number one single this time around, she’s about making her music and doing what she wants to do the only people that are worried abour her number are people that don’t like her and consider her a flop, which she’s far from it we all know she’s gonna sell records….but onto kelly I think she’s waiting to long to release the album, nobody is gonna be checking for her like that. Unless she releases a nother hot single, im gonna get her album just because I love kelly just as much as I love beyonce and unlike you fairweather ass fans I have both albums and im gonna get this third!
(I think I JUST might have to rejoin Twitter. I think I’ll have to take this up a notch! I really want to DESTROY Kelly Rowland, as much as I want to see Ciara BACK ON TOP.)
@Ciara Fans/Supporters – GET AT ME (Ciarathebest123@yahoo.com) – let’s write into/call/text/facebook-page-post requests for Ciara’s music. If we do this NOW, we can get the Urban Radio Stations to play CIARA’S MUSIC, and not FAKE OLD 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland…

I love your comments! You’re slaying EVERY hater out there!

‘Motivation’ is a “Lil’ WAYNE SINGLE” – If we’re gonna be honest..!!
I just checked riaa.com, ‘motivation’ hasn’t gone Gold. So I’m thinking that it’s “label backroom dealing” that pushed it to #1..!!
Understand this – there is no way I’m gonna idly sit and NOT do anything to TEAR DOWN Kelly Rowland! I DETEST AND LOATH HER! I’ll attack her as I did Rihanna! All I have to do is to spread some rumor, here and there, and THEN nurse it along!

There is no reason, ABSOLUTELY ZERO REASON – for Ciara to have the difficulties she’s having and for 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland to NOW have a #1 Single. (Albeit a R&B/Hip Hop single..!!)
Ciara is UBER Talented, as compared to 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland..!!
Ciara loves Black Men (check)
Ciara has been wronged by “The Industry” (check)
Ciara has kept her dignity (check)
Ciara has refused to compromise (unlike 30-something Kelly Rowland has) and NOT give- into “The Industry” (check)
Ciara checks all the boxes – I LOVE HER..!!!
Oh, BTW, (and I’m NOT making this up) 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland said: “Orlando Bloom, and men who look like him, are THE most attractive”)! This was the time she was going bankrupt after stupidly buying that million dollar Miami Condo and not having the $$ to pay the mortgage! So, not only is 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland NOT Talented, but she has Zero financial/business sense..!!

LETS CELEBRATE. i was holding my breathe so long for Kelly and now I could exhale. I think I almost died holding my breathe. Question is could I hold my breathe that the next single would be another hit?
@ X Y and Z …..Luv you man but do you hate Kelly because she’s been involved with some White men? Come on,please tell me that is not your beef with that sistah!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris and Kelly are like big sister and little brother but he just thinks she’s cute and you what,I’m quite sure Chris of all people would not be upset if she like anon Black man,I mean really now!!!!
I would sure love to call Kelly HIT PARADE KELLY. Kelly STAND UP!!! And I love the moving gif where she leads and not acting like no backup. Let the regular frontrunner take a backseat for now. Kelly REIGNS!
Nobody on this blog was a Kelly Rowland fan until Motivation came out!!! If yall really were her fans she wouldnt have had 2 flop solo albums and countless push backs!!!! #FACT
@aMaZiNG.Lee~
Let’s be real she’s number one on the R&B charts, correct? What other artists are getting praised for being number one on the R&B charts?
*****************
WOOO slow down there……
There is nothing wrong with having a #1 song on any of the Billboard Charts. I find it interesting that the success of R&B artists can only be apprciated if the “popular” society approves! She is #1 on the Urban/R&B/Hip hop Chart yet she’s only #blah, blah on the Pop Chart! F*CK THE POP CHARTS DESIGNED FOR POP-TARTS!
It’s funny that only R&B artists are considerd less than if they don’t know “crossover” success yet the Country Western artists are GREAT and fully appreciated by thier fanbase regardless of their lack of “crossover” appeal! ~__~ *serious side eye*
PS…… ppl need to get off of Beyonce’s CL*T! So what she produced one song that is not particularly good but she has a catalog of hits and SHE IS ONE HELL-OF-A PERFORMER (see 2011 Billboard Awards thank you very much)! 🙂
Cheers to the fricking accomplishment Kelly. U ROCK!!! #Motivation
LMAO @ Bey fans talking jealous because Kelly has a hit while Bey who has been more successful solo is lagging way behind her with her last single and falling fast in the age of GaGa Baby!!!!!!!!!!!
@MobWife
No, no, no, not me! I was referring to artists in general. I was making the point that no other artist gets praise for being on the R&B charts, yet becuase Kelly does it, she gets way more praise than anyone else because of where her career has (or has not) been since she’s been solo. This blog NEVER and I mean NEVER has a post about an artist being number one on the R&B charts, but only because it’s KELLY they make an entire post dedicated to her R&B chart success. This blog only updates us on what’s going on on the Hot 100, just like everyone else, which I think is a shame since this IS an R&B/Urban blog.
Again, I’m not taking credit from Kelly being on the R&B charts! I was referring to the general public’s perception of the R&B charts; when their fave isn’t #1 on that chart, they think it’s irrelevant, but when they are #1 it’s a different story. Get it? Not trying to bring CB into this but alot of the same people did that when he was slaying the R&B charts.
@AMAZING The difference why Beyonce did so well and it took Kelly awhile, Beyonce is light skin and with money and power and Kelly is dark skin with no power in the mainstream. I heard an radio interview Kelly did in my home town and the radio host asked her did she find it difficult making it in the industry because she is a dark skin women, Kelly answered quickly no if you let that hold you back. She has did well on her own merits, without everyone praising how wonderful a person she is like they been doing the past month with Beyonce.
@X,Y,”and Z”
Maybe something to do with 25-years of Oprah Winfrey’s emasculation and such..) <—– PRICELESS! 🙂
I really like Ciara and think that she will be fine once she "inks" a new deal with a different record company. She has a list of good producers waiting to work with her so should be fine. She is entirely too talented to fall by the wayside. Don't get me wrong, I know there are schemes and plots hatched behind closed doors to run artists out of the music industry (see the many plots hatched against Chris Brown 09')! I think she will be okay though. Her fans need to step up and support her music!!
@Secret Voice
LOL! Child stop. Jealous? Which would you and Kelly rather have: a unsuccessful solo career with one HIT song or an immensely successful CAREER with MULTIPLE hit songs? Hmmmm…….LOL! Keep reaching.
Like I’ve said, MANY times before I don’t do statistics, sales, and accomplishments, but when someone tries dispute Beyonce’s CAREER accomplishments because of ONE song, this is what happens. I guess these fools have NEVER had any other ammo, now that they have ONE hit song to bask in, they think they got something! LOL! Children, uh huh.
@Zania
SERIOUSLY? I really am not about to go there with the light skin/dark skin MESS! Do you REALLY think that skin complexion and money are the sole reasons for Beyonce’s success and Kelly’s lack of success?
Why do I see so much Ciara hate on here? Ride made it to #3 on that same chart and she didnt promote it either dumbasses. In other news im VERY happy for Kelly she really deserves it! I dont see beyonce doing no where near as good as Kelly. #TEAMKELLY #TEAMCIARAHOE
This is f****** amazing! #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts is good, but #21 on the Billboard Hot 100 is even better. It’s about to be a Top 20 Hit and I hope that it becomes a Top 10 hit! That would be incredible! Kelly better release “That Chick.”! That s*** is hot and a club banger. It’s so urban crossover! It suits urban and pop stations perfectly! C’mon Kelly you need to GO! GO! GO! GO!
@~aMaZiNG.Lee~
LOL…oh okay, I got you! 🙂
And yes, its really sad that urban blogs don’t celebrate the many successes of Urban/R&B/Hip Hop artists! The popular society stresses the importance of the Hot 100 Singles or Top 200 Album/CD Charts and everyone else just falls in line. Well everyone but the Country Western folks they could give a damn! They celebrate their own regardless!! Everyone else need to follow suite!
People havwe to remember shes did very little promo, had she appeared on primetime tv this would be in the top 5 for sure!
congrats but it doesnt count as a number one unless its the hot 100
This is really good 4 Kelly I mean she has received major success overseas and I love Motivation & Commander and in my opinion she makes better music then Beyonce, I really don’t like it when you guys bring up the fact that she has Wayne as a feature when all of beyonces biggest hits have had someone on them Crazy in Love ft. Jay Z, Baby Boy Ft. Sean paul, Check on it ft. Slim thug, Beautiful liar ft. Shakira, Irreplaceab;e written by Neyo, and Videophone/Telephone with gaga, the only solo hit she had was Single Ladies, but Kelly had Commander and Beyonce and runnin the Girls but Kelly is Check the Charts Bey’s Single is floppin hard. But really all of the girls in DC were talented in their own way but i think Kelly will
end up on TOP!
K, I’m back. (I can’t get that BSD Server to boot – power supply issues).
But what had happened was Kelly Rowland buying property in Miami (I think in the S.Beach area). At that time – at the top of the market – it, not-long after, being reduced in value (the market, as we all know, as we’d all suspected, those of us in Fla during those days – THEN tanking) and her then not being able to sell and/or not being able to pay the mortgage. (I had actually gone to that County Clerk’s site and saved the info – for shits and giggles – I told y’all, I absolutely detest her..!!!)
That was also the time that, not long after, she was seen with Richard Branson. (guess that was HER way to “spin out” of that story, and ‘save face’…!!!)
X,Y,”and Z”
X,Y,”and Z”
I have never seen so many dudes hate on a female before wow…sad day in the world when men hate on women. Nonetheless Congrats Kelly! I’m feeling Motivation and your old bandmate???…..umm not so much. I’m glad Beyonce said the other night without Destiny’s Child there would be no her! SO I don’t care how many records she sold…they will always be apart of DC platform and foundation that got her that career!
Anyway its Kelly time. They both are beautiful black women, I just prefer Kelly thats all!
@~aMaZiNG.Lee~
The stats you wrote make it even more shameful that Kelly’s chart position DOUBLED (42) is still EIGHT positions higher than Bey’s on the Hot 100 (50).
I love Bey, but the charts don’t lie.
Kelly is slaying.
#21 VS #50
@ amazying and. Xy&z… You don’t know how it is to write a song. Sing and get talked about by clueless critics like you….you say her album will flop do u know wot it takes to release an album? You should think before you talk…. You don’t have the right to condemn somebody’s effort..get a life and make a name for yourself..so they can talk about you too… Kelly has got u talking but she doesnt know if u exist… So stop hatting on her and get a life…
This song is so f****** boring!!!!!!! I was wondering that she spent all of her $$$$ to buy this song from itune. Everyone, Welcome to Kelly FLOPLAND!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to Ms. Rowland! I’m loving Motivation. This is a good look for Kelly.
@Jonathan Gardner
I’ll ask you the same question I asked another person, which would you rather have: a successful solo career with MULTIPLE hit songs, or an unsuccessful solo career with ONE hit song?
I like Kelly, but the OVERALL numbers don’t lie.
Beyonce’s career VS. Kelly’s career
@SECRET VOICE re: May 26, 2011 at 4:59 pm —
(Let’s see… Not sure if you’ll understand, it’s more of a feeling – but I’ll try my best to explain…)
I’m NO “industry Insider”. I have no friends/acquaintances in “The Industry”. When I did the research, in support of ‘Takers’ (going on the different Insider Film-Industry Blogs. I STILL HAVE ME 13 TICKETS), I was THEN reminded, or more to the point, had THEN my suspicions affirmed…
The ONE THING “WE” as black men don’t have is a “Recognition Of Self”…!! We’re automatically suspicious/hateful of each other; guilty before the presumption of innocence! This was why Breezy initially had the difficulty he had (before the truth of ‘Feb 8th, 2009 Chrianna was then told and then retold – ad nauseous)
You see, to support the likes of a “Kelly Rowland” (Halle Berry/Paula Patton) is to feed-into that VERY suspicion, distrust that one black man is conditioned to feel towards another!
To support Kelly Rowland is to support those who have long-sought to discredit and disenfranchise you (you being a black man (heterosexual)).
Kelly Rowland (Halle Berry/Paula Patton) have WHOLE-CUT REJECTED/MARGINALIZED you (you as a black man), to not yourself now ‘seek revenge’, is to surrender – I AIN’T WITH THAT WEAK-SURRENDERING S***…!!!
When “J’not-so-golden’S” had “violated” with RK (GAY ASS/Golden Shower; ask AS, she knows it ALL..!!) it was the same thing! If you’re “TeamBreezy”, you’d know the story, and JUST what I mean (I’m trying to be somewhat tactful and cryptic)..!!
X,Y,”and Z”
I sat here and watch this s*** unfold. NOT one of Beyonce’s fan said anything negative. But of course, a Kelly fan couldnt give Kelly props with out tryin to drag Beyonce down.
So stop with that the most hate comes from Bey’s fan b*******….. the hate comes from the ppl who are rooting for Beyonce to fail. Which is quite sad by the way.
Kelly is good. Kelly is talented. And congrats to her….
The people that stan for Beyonce are a selfish bunch and that is why she is going to have bad karma, they don’t want to see anyone else do good, except for her, how is that possible, all of these people work their butts off doing what they love to do, and all you do is try and devalue them, but just remember whatever you put out int he universe will come back and smack you, so keep it up. You are not doing Beyonce any good by being so hateful and meanspirited to others. I hope one day she will speak on it, because it is ridiculous. She is living her dreams and making them come through. How about you?
LMAO at ‘defied the odds.’ Sam you are so dramatic! It’s not hard to imagine Kelly getting a No. 1 on the r&b charts!
Well congrats are definitely in order! This was a hit record for sure! She snatched that No. 1 right from under Miguel! Lol! I honestly didn’t expect it to do this well. I liked it the first time I heard it but I thought it was too slow & definitely didn’t think it would cross over to pop charts! Go Kelly! And no one can say Lil Wayne helped her get a No.1 cause she definitely carried this record! The Weasel honestly wasn’t even needed.
Now lets see if she can keep this momentum going until her album release this fall. There are three whole months until fall so hopefully she puts out another hot record cause Lord knows people move on quickly! I hope she don’t pull a Ciara. Have a huge hit (Ride) and then wait forever to drop the album and by then everyone has moved on. *prays for Kelly*
@ X,Y,”and Z shut the f*ck up, everyone has the right to be with whom they want to be with, black, white, yellow, whatever, stop sitting here analyzing peoples motives and worry about yoruself, thats the problem with black men, they are to busy worried about what they don’t have, and who is keeping them down, you are the only person responsible for your happiness and your success, now suck it up.
@mobwife
jazime sullivan was a breath of fresh , wasnt she..
thats why i borderline stan for the broad, but we already know how this industry work, if ur not out there popping ur c****** on every single video and live perfomances..
u aint never gonna have repect…i blame the consumers, whos allowing these fake b****** to stay on top on the charts.
thats y people like Adele, suzan boyle makes my day when they are breaking records, without pooping their c******
@JR —
But the facts remain…
1.)Ciara IS FAR-MORE TALENTED and FAR-MORE DESERVING than 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland.
2.)Beyonce IS also FAR-MORE Talented (in every “inflected and perfected” sense of that word), and what’s most obvious (and differentiating between the two?) – BEYONCE WORKS HER A** OFF! Do I support her – HELL NO! But it is, what it is!
3.)If 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland had the…”stuff” (talent/’IT-factor”) or whatever to be a star, she’d have ALREADY had a #1 CD!
4.) Do you REALLY think Matthew Knowles will allow Beyonce’s 30-something-year-old back-up dancer/understudy to come and take Beyonce’s shine? (Given the ‘damage’ Lady Gaga is now doing?)
5.)A #1 on ANY of the singles charts does NOT guarantee a #1 CD.. (Just you ask Rihanna.)
30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland will NOW ‘bump-up against’ that “invisible ceiling” (of sorts). It’s that very-same…’handicap’ that made her Beyonce’s X-back-up singer for decades: TALENT/IT-FACTOR!
..It’s that said “missing thing” that WON’T compel you to get up and drive down to your local CD retailer, and there-then pull out your credit card and purchase, with YOUR HARD-earned discretionary dollars – her coming CD..!

Now can people please stop saying that Bey is trying to hinder Kelly’s success! Kelly just got a No. 1 and Bey is clearly back on the scene. They both can have success at the same time if the music is hot enough!
And Bey haters, please don’t use this as an excuse to shade Bey cause we ALL know who is gonna sell more first week. Bey can have a flop single & still sell an album cause she is f****** Beyonce! Like I said before, Kelly needs to bring it with her second single & keep the momentum going or people will lose interest before her albums drops. Kelly still has yet to perform this anywhere! We know Bey is gonna be EVERYWHERE before he albums drops!
Ya’ll heard that record Bey performed on Idol last night, she is gonna slay with sales! That song alone can sell her album! Ya’ll better bow down to the Queen!
@The people that stan for Beyonce are a selfish bunch and that is why she is going to have bad karma, they don’t want to see anyone else do good, except for her….
the ironic thing is, she doesnt give two f**** about them.. thats why i seat back and just laugh, when even i see the stans acting a fool …
dragging people like they claim(that s*** tickles the f*** out of me)
this is suppose to be a post about kelly success, but of course they have to seat down and bash the poor girl, how shes never goin to be big like beyonce, same ol b*******..
like i said karma is working her a** off…
Be BETTER not “BItter!”

P.S. Even Chris Breezy said on Twitter that “Kelly Rowland is SO DAMN FINE!” He also said “leave his girl alone, he’s in LOVE with KELLY ROWLAND”
————————————————————————————————-
He said the first part, but NOT the second! You read it wrong! He said his cousin Keeis told him to leave his girl alone cause he was in love with Kelly.
This is why twitter is so dangerous cause people can’t comprehend that they read. SMH.
poor little tink tink
Damn not too long ago, most ppl were telling kelly to sit the f*** down. Now that she has finally got there, she still isn’t good enough. I know where it’s all coming from but i will keep that to myself……..oh and congrats kelly…….you will do good this year.
(Meh… just a matter of time before the bottom-feeders surfaced…)

“shut the f*ck up” <– Ok… NOT..!!
"everyone has the right to be with whom they want to be with" <– o~0 R.I.F! Is English your first language? Where/when did I try to relieve you of/from "Freedom Of Choice"..??
Now, if only YOU were…(wait for it..) "MOTIVATED" to some Reading Comprehension…
(Sigh.. Not only are her fans/supporters 'unrepentantly poverty stricken,' but they're as daft as SHE is: her buying that Miami Condo at the top of the market – Bwahahahahahahahah…)

To me it does not matter who started this “Stan” war!!
Both sides are participating in this mess. It’s really trifling and tired.
Everyone involved should take a seat! Cant be a war, if at least one side(but, preferably both!!) don’t get caught up in the drama!
I like Kelly. Why did Kelly go from Kelendria (spelled wrong) to Kelly? Her real name is much more unique.
Baby, she told y’all she was going to bump like this- She just didn’t tell you when! What’s that sound….
@KellyRowland coming for you!!!
@Rated X
How in hell are Beyonce fans selfish? LOL! Beyonce fans were here congratulating Kelly on her success and for the most part Beyonce fans like Kelly. What are you people talking about? You people have a perception of Beyonce fans, putting the ALL into one category. There are even more Beyonce fans that support ADELE and she’s slaying the charts left and right. Wouldn’t we be more interested in being selfish with an artist that actually is SLAYING on ALL fronts? GIRL BYE!
“this is suppose to be a post about kelly success, but of course they have to seat down and bash the poor girl, how shes never goin to be big like beyonce, same ol b*******..”
You’re right this IS a Kelly post, and Kelly’s fans/stans felt the need to bring Beyonce in it. They (Kelly stans) were sitting down BASHING Beyonce and how Kelly’s single is doing better than Beyonce’s, same ol’ b*******. LOL! Want proof:
“haters haters haters…you would think bey fans would be happy for her…so what if she’s whoopin bey’s ass on BOTH CHARTS” —Compliments of a Kelly fan/stan
Damn, you always try and FAIL miserably. Tsk Tsk. 🙁
@ Amazing Lee…Obviously you are guilty of what I said because I didn’t address anything to you,LMAO!!!!!!
“A hit dog WILL holla!!!!!!!!!!
I saw where one person was talking that dark skin mess……There are many successful people who are dark skin,so lets NOT EVEN use that excuse,need I remind you of Oprah.
There are plenty of light skin people who are also not successful in music and you don’t see them using their complexion as an excuse for not being successful and if they did many of you who are dark skin would dog them to no end!
Kelly is talented and she is getting her shine!
@Secret Voice
Guilty of what? Actually congratulating Kelly on her accomplishment? Oh ok.
And I see you didn’t answer the question, which would you and Kelly rather have? I already KNOW the answer to that question though but I’ll leave it to you to do it on you own. LOL!
@ Amazing Lee….Bytch you are the one responded directly to what I wrote,I have never even heard of your ridiculous a**!Now go on and move onto someone that thinks you are relevant and that is that damn cat you come to every night! LMAO!
You Are My #1, Kelly
CONGRATS MY SISTA KELLY,IM FROM H TOWN I ALWAYS KNEW YOUWERE THE BEST GREATTTTTT!!! JOB
@Secret Voice
Hmmm-hmmmm, that’s what I thought b****, couldn’t answer the question. You and me both know the answer, however, you have to stray off topic about some b*******. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! 🙂 Maybe next time dear, but this time? FAIL!
Done.
@ XY AND Z LETS GO AHEAD AND GIVE YOU THE ATTENTION YOU CRAVE O-0
THE FACT THAT YOU STAN FOR CIARA’S NON SINGIN cant book a stage ASS TOTALY DISCREDITS YOU EVEN BEIN ON THIS POST! KELLY’S FLOP ALBUM DID BETTER THAN CIARS LAST 2 COMBINED! DESTROY KELLY ROWLAND?? WOW……(NO COMMENT)
ANYWAY!!!!! CONGRATS KELLY! ITS YOUR TIME TO SHINE! FINALLY WE GET SOME REAL TALENT ON THE CHARTS AGAIN! #MOTIVATION WORK!!!!!
She deserves it!
Kelly be the one that you love to mention, she let y’all keep on talking cause she loves the attention….do you understand the more you talk about her the more famous she becomes. #Motivation is number 1 baby!
kelly and her team need to be more smart about what they are doing 1 she need to do live performances 2 release the future singles internationally, putting no retrictions- no US or international- going mainstream. for god sake an artist is an arist not rnb, pop, dance, etcc. this way she is not bother with the issue of seperate singles with taxing
Amazing lee used to make interesting comments before but lately he or she is getting totally wack going back and forth arguing unnecessarily. i have lost all respect for amazing lee
Uh so does anyone know when she’s supposed to be performing this?
@TheRowlanddog —
“Ciara can’t book a stage”…?!
(are we hinting at a “Ciara/Kelly Rowland dance-off, of sorts?”)
OMG!! I’d ALREADY saw the “30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland” on-stage. She’s every-bit the tired, stiff, Rihanna-robot-like, ‘rusty-hinged-chain-driven contraption’ I’d expected her to be! In that ONE REGARD, she did NOT disappoint…!!
re: this ‘#1 Motivation WAYNE single’ – 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland will NOT move units!
She’s incapable of “Motivating” her fans to using their precious discretionary funds to supporting her!!
If there’s ONE thing I’ve learned – since OVER two-years ago forming the first “TeamChris Cyber-Posse” – ‘Teens’ AND the ‘Urban Demographic’ are T-H-E most fickle/most unpredictable of all – BY FAR..

HUH?! I have no idea what you just wrote/typed; not a one!! (and one day, ‘Manned Space Travel’ will happen…)
Ciara fans/supporters, if you’re serious we can have a ‘meeting of the minds’ and “solve each other’s problems”. We can put Ciara BACK on top(while bashing the hell outta 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland)! Get at me Ciara fans – ciarathebest123@yahoo.com (<–real email address.) Let's hook-up and organize ourselves. We can call-into/text/facebook page-post requests the radio stations to play Ciara's music, in that way, they'll not play as much, or just altogether remove, 'Motivation' from their rotation/playlists!
X,Y,"and Z" — OUT..!!
I’m happy for Kelly. Long time coming
Yaassss Kelly! Love.her.so.much.
LOVE IT LOVE HER BUT SHE NEEDS TO BEING IT & STOP PLAYING !!!
Certain artists arent qualified to have stans! Ciara is one of em! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
you go ms KELLY and no matter what, What god has for you is for you
and the devil in hell cant take it away from you. “motivation” is right on and you
delivers it with such sass, emotions and depth JUST KEEP RIGHT ON CHURNING
THEM HITS LIKE THAT OUT….
IGNORE !!!!!!!!! XYZ BECAUSE THATS A MAGGOT AND IT’S ALREADY HALP PAST DEAD,,,,, THATS HIS SKELTON STILL ON THE NET LYING THROUGH HIS/IT/MAGGOT TEETH IGNORE THAT MAGGOT, CARRY ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
congratz that song deserved the #1 spot.
YAS, I’m so happy for my girl. Werk. 🙂
Kelly Rowland is THE BUSINESS!
No one is checking for Beyonce anymore, she’s a certified FLOP! Have you seen her status on the iTunes & Billboard charts? Yikes, two well known performances (one being considered epic by her fans @ the BB Awards), and a video premiere on the #1 show viewed by 25million people in the nation (“American Idol”), and still not a #1 song or Top 10 hit?
I’m glad people are seeing pass the beauty, and actually realizing the GIIMMICKS!
#FAIL
Congrats Kelly Rowland ! This is huge and long overdue. “Motivation” and “Unity” are my two favorite songs. Can’t wait for a tour announcement =)
Congrats Kelly!!!
just loving that gift. that b**** is stomping all over them wigs! and her mouth saying “boop boop boop!”
@X, Y and Z @MOBWIFE
WTF!? Yall totally missed my point….smh X, Y and Z you’re retarted! I did not say Chris Brown was not TALENTED, I’m a fan of Chris and his music. The point that I was making to you and the other HATERS, is don’t come up in a “Kelly Rowland” article doggin Miss Rowland for her accomplishments. She deserves the same respect as other artists who hit #1 whether its on the R&B charts, Hot 100 WHATEVER! A #1 is a #1…PERIOD! I was not comparing the two in terms of “talent”, and the comment referring to “non-talented autotuned artists” is still my word because there are some out there that you need to go dog instead of Kelly who is 30 y.o, and can actually sing and make “real music”. And I know you were expecting me to dog Ciara out, but i’m not because I am a fan her music also. I was one of the “38,000” people who bought Basic Instinct and I think its a great CD thank you very much. This a Kelly Rowland article so congrats again Kelly!!
oops meant *gif
Congrats to her..
I LOVE Motivation!”
Congrats MS KELLY !! GO HARDER!!
I love this girl…..go kells
i love how the hater love to hate but thanks to people like yal she is #1..and for the r&b dead…cant be kelly sits at #21 on the hot 100 futher more killing beyonce who yal compare her to is still moving up the chart…and for the record no promo But a music video (which for the dumbasses) is not consider promo…CONGRATULATION take your shine KELLY hater shows u a star
To everyone comparing Ciara and Kelly together… Stop! That’s so stupid. Kelly has been around long before Ciara has and has seniority. The same way Mariah Carey has Seniority over Melanie Fiona and many other artists! If you want to go as far as saying Kelly is a fake Ciara, then Ciara is a fake Aaliyah…. Seriously stop it!
Kelly is awesome and such a sweet girl, and deserves a hit song. Every time she makes a good song, it blows up! Look at Dilemma with Nelly… She has Talent!!!
