Behind The Scenes: Kelly Rowland’s ‘Motivation’ Video

Published: Thursday 5th May 2011 by Sam

Many doubted, and are now believers. Kelly Rowland has a bonafide hit on her hands with ‘Motivation’!

The seductive cut currently sits at #6 on the Billboard R&B tally and has amassed an airplay audience of almost 30 million from Urban & Rhythmic radio alone.

With much of this due to its hit video, new behind the scenes footage of the clip reminds us why we fell in love with it in the first place. Check it out after the jump…

  15. Educated Diva May 6, 2011

    This song is always on the danm radio!!! A good thing for Kelly! If all my friends know about this song & luv it then it’s definitely a hit! Bcuz they don’t know about celebrity blog sites even exist or even know what it is. I heard the premiere of this song about a couple months ago & my friends are just hearing it & talking about it! Her next single & video has to be just as good as this 1. I’m ready to see her perform this.. she has to kill it or she is gonna mess everything up for herself bcuz the Urban audience is very critical of talent.

  16. jay May 6, 2011

    im ready for a motivation performance! i hope we dont hav to wait as long as the jlo fans did for the first performance!

    Ms.Rowland this song is fire.

  21. JR May 6, 2011

    You know what I love KELLY ROWLAND!!! Damn she is so f****** s***. I had to get that out. I am so proud of her. I have been a fan of hers from day one. She was my book cover in high school when DC first came out. Her music, lyrics, and voice always had my attention. I have followed her career and I must say she has found her swag. The fact that Kelly can give you urban, pop, and dance shows she is versatile and should not be put in any particular category.

    WE READY FOR A MOTIVATION PERFORMANCE…. we need to tweet @BetAwards and let them know!

  22. Bdaboss May 6, 2011

    Can’t wait until it hits number one! I also can’t wait to see her perform this.

  23. lost1wons May 6, 2011

    who is the darkskinned girl at 0:45 seconds? doesn’t look like Kelly, is that Jessica, umm she wasn’t in the final cut

  24. lost1wons May 6, 2011

    shout to frank gatson, for giving kelly a different vibe, where you didn’t see Beeyonce resemblences as with J.Lo’s choreography.

  25. lost1wons May 6, 2011

    and stick with frank, becuz Fatima choreography in Commander stunk!

  26. BitchIcantevenspellwelfare May 6, 2011

    This is still my favorite song right now!!! Yes Kelly!

  27. WildChild May 6, 2011

  35. who is beyonic May 6, 2011

    @zelda and @okay are the same mad person

  36. Ghetto Fab May 6, 2011

    @Okay

    Queen Please! That’s what yall said when “Who Flop the World” dropped. And look how that turned out? FLOP! Just face it. Kelly snatched the YACKITY YACK off Bey’s head. Left that b**** bald and all. Hell she snatched Solange’s afro having ass too. If she continues delivering songs like this she will be a force to be reckoned with.

    Kelly’s stans done tried to tell yall. But yall didn’t listen. Now your fave is flopping and yall are nowhere to be found in Kelly’s post. LMAO

    At least you dirt queens are keeping it cute this time around. Make it say that way!

  37. MIMI STAN May 6, 2011

    IDK why you ALWAYS have to throw shade(?) Anytime an artist in Bey’s circle (KELLY, RIHANNA ETC) comes up, BEY comes up Also. Such artist that Remind us of the Queen, They’re her CHILDREN. 🙂

    Anyway, I like how Kelly is able Push the bounders of S*** with this song WITHOUT appearing Slutty, WHO do you think she got it from?? WHO do you think Rihanna learned how to ride a Beat from??

  40. Ann May 6, 2011

    Beyonce’s gonna flop so hard this year……and her stans will pull all of the excuses out of their asses (like they are now). You stans are almost setting her up to fail. The songs been out almost 3 weeks, and isnt even close to entering the top 20, I mean thats horrible,and no spin or excuses you stans put on that will make up for it

    Bey is over

    Gaga, Katy, & Rihanna are runnning things now (Bey had to beg Rihanna to do a song with her so she could have a shot at getting a #1 single). Beyonce will be forgotten by everyone but her stans.

  41. BitchIcantevenspellwelfare May 6, 2011

    I really don’t understand why people bring up Beyonce’s name EVERYTIME there is a Kelly post. They make totally different types of music.

    By they way, I LOVE Beyonce & I cannot wait until her album drops. However, I am also very much ready for Kelly’s album. I love them both for different reasons.

    Beyonce gives me what Beyonce cannot and vice versa. And let us not forget that they are friends, so….

  42. BitchIcantevenspellwelfare May 6, 2011

    “Kelly cannot and vice versa”

  43. Terrence May 6, 2011

    @Beyonce suckscompared to the faves, You love the fact that your “queen” is flopping LOL #33 is NOTHING to be proud of after this period of time, Gaga, Rihanna, Katy, & Britney killed that with no promo before, and got INSTANT top 10’s. Why cant Bey? Since according to you she is the queen? If she was the queen and if the song were good itd be in the top 10 in the U.S. RIGHT NOW, no promo from her and no video at all. Yet its not……

    My Fav is Michael Jackson, I DARE Bey to ever attempt to be half the artist he was. How does she s*** on him? No stan has ever proved that. How is her floppng career shitting On Michael Jacksons past?

    (gets popcorn and waits for the excuses……..)

  44. BEYONCE >>>>>>>>>>>>> THE FAVS :) May 6, 2011

    ^^^^^^^^^^^ BEYONCE >>>>>>>>>>> MJ 🙂

    Success was ACTUALLY the LAST thing on my mind when I said BEYONCE >>>>>>>>>>>>> THE FAVS. 🙂

  45. T*** May 6, 2011

    OMG everybody’s so SIck of Bey, Im a Kelly fan, I didnt come here to hear Bey stans b**** about why their fav cant get a hit and its irrelevant, what does “who run the world” have to do with Kelly? Motivation is fastly climbing the charts, and its good that it is, I mean its a much better song than Who Run The WOrld, thats a fact. Kelly’s finally about to get the props and respect she desserves.

  46. BEYONCE >>>>>>>>>>>>> THE FAVS :) May 6, 2011

    WHEN MJ gon do it??

    PERIOD, That other mess is IRRELEVANT.

    ~CONGRATS KELLY!! 🙂

  47. Terrence May 6, 2011

    WOW all of her stans REALLY are delusional. This r***** SERIOUSLY said, Beyonce’s better than Michael Jackson. If Beyonce’s better than michael, why dont her sells reflect it? Why hasnt she matched or beat ANY record he set? Michael never had to lie about writing songs, or steal 100% of what made him popular from others and then claim to be the 1st.

    Your mother is a failure for you to have said that. Beyonce will NEVER be 25% of the artist Michael Jackson was. And she’ll never see half the success he did. The mere thought of HER, who is nothing but mediocre, being better than him THE best performer in the business, and a man whose talents had NO limits, is laughable. I mean seriously, your just retarded if you honestly believe that. And in denial because if it were true, her sells and attention would reflect it. BUT they dont so now you look stupid

    Child you sound pressed and in denial, and with the way she’s tanking, clearly its because you know her time is almost up

  48. Terrence May 6, 2011

    WOW and you got a video of your mediocre queen being mediocre, which Michael never was

    How bout when will that trick write a song and not get sued for lying about writing it?
    When willl she sell out a STADIUM in less than 1hr?
    When Will she sell more than 40 million with 1 album alone?

    But MJ could NEVER do BEYONCE, Hes just NOT on The Queen’s LVL Dear.

    Beyonce is NOW what MJ WAS 20-30 Years Ago only (10Xs) BETTER!!!! 🙂

    Bey us about to have 20 GRAMMYS Blowing MJ TO DUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  50. Layla May 6, 2011

    OMG THIS BEY STAN IS STUPID, he seriously just said Beyonce was better than Michael jackson? WOW pressed much? i think so. I like Bey but lets be realistic here, she is far from his level, and she even knows that, and said it. I mean sweetie just because you love her dont mean the whole world do, I mean if they did this song would be huge no matter how much it sucks.

  51. Layla May 6, 2011

    @ MOST RETARDED BEYONCE STAN IN DENIAL ABOUT HER MEDIOCRE FLOPPING QUEEN

    BEYONCE IS THE MOST OVERRATED under talented b**** in this industry, your HONESTLY making yourself sound retarded. If he was overrated, he wouldnt’ve set as many unbeatable world records as he did

    And he has a MUCH better and more critically acclaimed voice than she EVER had, her voice aint all that, she dont even have 5 octives, so your reallly making Bey stans look dumb right now

    Come talk to me about her being the most talented when her Concert sellouts match his

  52. Terrence May 6, 2011

    @ Layla you PREACH the truth, I mean WOW. VERY true. I mean its common sense. If Beyondfakes mediocre ass is more talented than MJ, why dont ANYBODY say that? Why hasnt she proved it, and why is she flopping this early in her weak mediocre career?

  53. Layla May 6, 2011

    @Terrence well it needed to be said, like I said I like her but lets be real she is mediocre at best. Michael Jackson CHANGED the music industry and is the biggest selling musician (even being dead) of all time. He’s the best,and realistically she’s not even in the top 20 under him.

  54. BEYONCE >>>>>>>>>>>>> THE FAVS :) May 6, 2011

  57. Terrence May 6, 2011

    OMFG, that r***** seriously said Beyonce can dance circles around MJ………….WOW. OK 1st off she cant even keep up wit her own damn dancers, let alone 1 of the fastest on the planet. And if thats not embarassing enough, her dance moves require no serious train of thought, its all about strutting and ass shaking and puss popping. She’s bascally a stripper with no pole

    Basically your just proving to me that Bey stans are all retarded and having to lie to themselves to sleep at night. I feel so damn sorry for you. How pathetic. Your a epic failure, and so are your parents for not teaching you about what it takes to be a real musician and dancer

    @QUEENBEY WILL ALWAYS S*** ON UR FAVE AND LEAVE THEM NO OPTION BUT 2 POUT THATS EXACTLY MY POINT, if everyone before him and after him are flops (which more than includes BEY) how does she s*** on my fave, who is Michael Jackson?

    @The retarded Bey stan in denial (I like that name on you). You mean that voice that sold more records than Bey’s anoying naisily same pitchy having mediocre voice thats not that better than Kelly Rowland?

    Why do you insist on making a ass of yourself?

    @S*** your a loser. Bey will NEVER be a legend and Mariah bow to that mediocre b****? In your wildest dreams, Bey’s vocie SUCKS compared to Maraih, Mariah today makes Bey sound like Kim Zolciak So GTFO wit that b*******

    Bey wont be a legend because you have to be original to be a legend and sadly for you, theres NOTHING original about Beyonce, and everybody knows that

  65. queenbey will always s*** on ur fave and leave them no option but 2 pout May 6, 2011

    @TERRANCE- I NEVER SAID QUEENBEY shits on MJ!!!!!!! Crazy ass @S*** said dat

    @TERRANCE- Da way u talk make it seem as QUEENBEY is THE WORST SINGER EVER…………. and thats not TRUE!!!!!!

  69. Terrence May 6, 2011

    @QUEENBEY WILL ALWAYS S*** ON UR FAVE AND LEAVE THEM NO OPTION BUT 2 POUT

    Who said he didnt have flops but the truth is “It is better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation… period” and everything he’s flopped in, he was at least original with his stuff. Sure you have a few steps that can be traced back to James Brown, Jackie Wilson, David Ruffin & a few others, but the man was a innovator, and a original. And Bey isnt. Plus his hits MORE than make up for his misses, which cant be said about hardly anybody else. 1 MJ album sold more than half of Beyonce & Destiny’s child’s complete discography today. I think its more to say when he had a miss, it didnt matter to anyone.

  70. BEYONCE >>>>>>>>>>>>> THE FAVS :) May 6, 2011

    @Terrence

    Thats ONLY because MJ came out in the 70s/80s, If Queen Bey was Out Back Then, MJ would have been OUTDONE, He just had NO COMPETITION, If Bey was Out then She would S*** ALL OVER MJ.

    Either way… MJ = OVERRATED 🙂

  71. BEYONCE >>>>>>>>>>>>> THE FAVS :) May 6, 2011

    Bey is the MJ of Today… (Only BETTER) 🙂

  72. Terrence May 6, 2011

    @QUEENBEY WILL ALWAYS S*** ON UR FAVE AND LEAVE THEM NO OPTION BUT 2 POUT I never said shes the worst singer ever, I said she’s mediocre. Which is nice, but she aint near the best. I dont take her seriously as a vocalist and performer, she’s good but I’ve seen MUCH better in my life (def including MJ). My point is she could never s*** on my fave so you guys saying she does or that Im “mad” because she’s better than my fave, makes you guys sound….well not that bright. We’re having a nice convo here, you know “S***” is making Bey stans look really bad with what he’s saying I mean seriously, you seem to acknowlege the truth. Which I respect, but he’s really sinking my opinion of Bey stans (which wasnt that high to begin with)

    @the retarded Bey stan. Do you honestly have ANY clue how dumb you sound? like seriously? We now know NOTHING you say will EVER be takin seriously, sorry. But you’ve lost all credibility, your trying to lie and convince people that the queen of mediocre is better than the most talented performer on the planet who’s s*** was more talent than her? You are a FOOOL LOL I love it, the stupidity

  73. Terrence May 6, 2011

    @ The r***** in denial

    UM SWEETIE, Bey is out today and cant keep up wit F****** RIHANNA. LOFL Are you serious? Bey would’ve flopped so much harder back then, people who made their careers copying others didnt go as far in the 70’s and 80’s, WOW your dumb

    Bey will NEVER out do Michael Jackson, and will NEVER be looked at as half as talented as he is. It is your retarded opoinion that she’s better (which we all know is stupid as hell), the world knows better. Thats why he has people copying his moves today (including her) while she has NOBODY copying her today to make a name for themselves. I LOVE your lies, its just so funny. The man was clearly better than her mediocre ass in every way, and anyone who says otherwise needs to look at the sells

    The mediocre b**** cant even out do Susan Boyle’s numbers, or voice. LMBAO your really showing me how dumb you are, I have a feeling its more than I could ever expect lol. And with you being a Bey stan I already expected you to be pretty dumb but damn. Your REALLY topping yourself with your words.

  74. Terrence May 6, 2011

    LOL @ “BEY BEING THE MJ OF TODAY” THATS SOOO FUNNY. For that to be true she’d have to learn to write songs and not get caught lying about it. Sell out shows in NO TIME, Have a single go to #1 in no time,and have EVERYBODY in the business trying to copy her sound

    NONE of the above has happend so how is she the MJ of this generation? Hell the mediocre b**** cant even touch him in ANYTHING. in Music, writing, producing, dancing, WORLD RECORDS, sells and original style

    if you compare the 2 Bey will FAIL every time. Its pathetic for you to even try. Hell Bey is a failure when the word ORIGINAL ever comes to mind She steals from everybody something MJ Hated

    “It is better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation… period.”=Beyonce is a failure and shits blanks

  75. Ron May 6, 2011

    This Beyonce fan is derranged. WOW. its funny she says this right when Bey’s career is halfway through the dumpster. Something that didnt happen to MJ until after he was certified a legend and proved to the world that he was. Beyonce is not a legend or iconic because she copies to much. I mean she even copied him trying to do this game

  76. RIHANNA HAS 10#1’S=STAY MAD May 6, 2011

    BAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA

    If bey’s so good why cant she keep up wit Riahnna? Hell that tacky cheap ho cant even keep up with Kelly today. Shes done over. Rihanna will have 12 #1 hits after California King Bed & Man Down come out everywhere. And Bey wont even have half of that.

    “Oooh nah nah, whats ma name”

  77. Rose May 6, 2011

    @Terrence stop lying you know Beyonce has 2 octives (annoying & offkey), tryin to be to nice to her ass. Be real wit it. She aint all that, you right abotu mediocre, and her anme and MJ’s dont even belong in the same building lol

  78. Iil M May 6, 2011

    Michaels hands were more talented than Beyonce. if he clapped on a album it went HUGE. if he sang background on a artist song it was almost a instant hit

  79. Kelly Fan May 6, 2011

    CAN WE PLEASE GET BACK TO KELLY!!! SHE’S BETTER THAN BEY, which is why her son is doing better she’s a way better singer than Bey and we all know that. The pressed Bey stan is just jealous cause Kellys on her way to the top while Bey is falling from it faster and faster everyday

    This song is HOTT, and a Hit

  80. Madness11 May 6, 2011

    I love kelly. I’m glad she’s doing well.Stop bringing up Beyonce . She isn’t a better artist than Kelly but she’s a much better singer. Also dead at these people bringing up Mj. Honestly he wasn’t a strong singer during his adulthood . Stevie,prince,and Luther could ousting him.

  81. Rose May 6, 2011

    Michael wasnt the best male singer on the planet (def not better than Prince) but he was a better singer and had more vocal range than Bey, thats undenyable. his voice was more diverse and flexible than hers.

    I’ve always loved Kelly and Im glad she’s getting her shine, Im glad a lot of artist that we normally don’t see getting their shine on! Music seems to be shifting a little bit and I might like it!

    Im surprised she hasn’t really promoted this song tho! It’s SUPER HOT!!!!!!!!…imagine if she performed it, how much better it would do!

  83. Jenny May 6, 2011

    WOOOOOOO TERRENCE WENT INNN HE TOLD THE HONEST TO GOD TRUTH TOO!!!! THE AUDACITY OF SOME CHILDREN IS AMAZING. Gonna pin someone like Bey against the best known performer of all time. Like you said Terrence thats a automatic fail, Bey is good but Michael was Legendary.

    OMG YOU WENT THERE WITH “Bey cant even keep up with Rihanna” OMG I laughed so hard cause its true, Rihanna and Kelly here are effortlessly killing Bey right now, and its great Im happy for both of them. cant wait to hear Kelly’s new album.

    GO KELLY

  84. bey’knight May 6, 2011

    wow so many hypocrites, check the archives, most people counted kelly out, now they’re asskissing

    am sure both bey and kelly can do well on the charts, its d same as many other female
    and are yall forgetting RTWG still has a higher peak than motivation without a video, so how exactly has kelly snatched bey’s wig?

    every female post , every chick in the game must be compared to B, thats why she’s the queen! if she’s over her name wouldn have to be mentioned to justify anyone’s success

  85. muni May 6, 2011

    Ah eh MS KELLY ROWLAND, now tell me who is snatching them wigs!!!

    MOTIVATION babe!!!

  86. That FLOP Juice May 6, 2011

    FLOP. But Run The World is a bigger flop. Hahahaha.

  87. BREEZYTHEBEST May 6, 2011

    Love this song but some of y’all are going overboard Bey is still the Queen,end of story.

  88. EdwardPonton May 6, 2011

    #Motivation! Everywhere I go they bumpin this…

    BTW Beyonce will NEVER Be a flop! She’s still the hardest working female in the industry and we all CLEARLY can tell she’s the Michael Jackson of our generation. Just because MJ Was great doesnt mean NO ONE can ever be better than him.

    Back to listen to Motivation… I love Kelly! S*** ass…

  89. royalkev May 6, 2011

    Kelly looks beautiful. I’m not too crazy about the song (I do think that it sounds a bit dated), but I’m happy for her success with it.

    @Terrence – I noticed that you constantly compare Beyonce and MJ. Why is that? Do you compare him to Britney or Lady Gaga (or any artist that is accomplished – from the last decade besides Bey). I’m surprised you don’t compare him to Usher and Chris Brown. I personally think Chris dances circles around MJ, but I respect the legend MJ is.

    I think you feel the mention of MJ automatically shuts down everything. Madonna is consider a QOP by many and I certainly think that a few artist out today are more talented. I don’t think it fair to say that Bey is not even 25% of the artist MJ is because I do believe she has a better voice and that right there don’t make him 75% better than her. It’s not unanimous, where it’s assumed by everyone that he’s the most talented artist to walk the face of the earth(athough he may very well be, but he is certainly one of them). No matter how much you may want to, you can’t take away credit that Bey has earned! She is always going to be remembered as an awesome talent!

    I’ve been busy supporting/talking-up/pushing ‘F.A.M.E’ (which RIAA.com just ‘Certified Gold’, BTW) to focus my attention on EXPOSING Beyonce’s X-30-something-year-old back-up singer.

    With CBreezy’s coming Europe/U.S. tour, which’ll itself re-energize ‘F.A.M.E’ U.S. OTC Retail sales, I think it’s NOW ‘high-time’ I concentrate and focus my energies to bear-down upon revealing the truths behind the lies, hype and “bent realities” that IS Beyonce’s 30-something-year-old X-back-up singer…

    I think it’d be FAR easier to pull-down the likes of a Kelly Rowland, than “a Rihanna”; what say y’all..?? (and a good job we did on Riri, yes?)

    I think it’d be some BIG FUN to ‘tear-down into’ this 30-something-year-old has-been; what y’all think..??

    (Which one-a-y’alls gonna come run with the pack…??)

    And oh…BTW, Kelly Rowland IS NOT INTO BLACK MEN..!! (just something for black men (heterosexual black men) to consider..)

    iLove Kelly, but I hate that we have to go through all of this beef with other artist. It’s a Kelly post, lets respond accordingly. Kelly Rowland #winning

  94. larry May 6, 2011

    @ X,Y,”and Z”

    You believe that Chris Brown is more successful than Rihanna – you are one of the most delusional stans I have ever came across on TGJ, so you lost credibility ages ago, please sit down! >>> _/

  95. mobwife…….”she aint you”!! :-) May 6, 2011

    @SAM,

    WHERE IS THE WEEKLY BILLBOARD SUMMARY??

    YOU REFERENCED KELLY’S BILLBOARD R&B #6 CHART ENTRY…OKAY WHERE IS THE BILLBOARD SUMMERY???

    ummm calling T..r..e..n….. 🙂 come on now SAM!!

  96. Terrence May 6, 2011

    @RoyalKev, I already said why I mention MJ, becasue the retarrded Bey stans are the ones talking about her “shitting on my fave” My fave is Michael Jackson, he’s my #1 always has been and always will be. So I simply ask how is she shitting on him, and we all know the answer that she’s clearly not

    LOFL, Chris can do more but he’s not as technical, polished, graceful, and persist as him, and fact of the matter is Chris is just 1 of MANY MJ clones, but theres only 1 MJ.. Same cant be said about Chris or Bey

    And I dont consider Madonna the queen of pop. I conside Mariah & Aretha much more legendary than madonna. And I will always discredit her because because her career is based soley on copying others, EVERYTHING she’s done can be traced back to someone better and more creative and I dont respect that, and I never will

    Your right saying she’s 25% as talented as MJ is too much, I’ll change it to 15%. You know why she’ll NEVER be as big or good as MJ? Becauser her audience is only gay men and women, and that only happens successfuly for real divas in their later years. Bey’s music &dances have always has alienated straight men, Michaels music was for everybody, and his dance moves. Originators and innovators are remembered and icons, not people like her, who spend their career copying, and lying about credit.

    say all you want but there will never be another artist (especially 1 thats out right now, I mean seriously) who is as good at all the things MJ was. Your gonna get people attempting to be him, and beat him, but fail every time. I

  97. mobwife…….”she aint you”!! :-) May 6, 2011

    Anyway, I LOVE THIS SONG!!

    GO KELLY!!

    @BEYONCE >>>>>>>>>>>>> THE FAVS 🙂

    Girl, I’m gonna need you to stop mentioning R****** in the same breath as Beyonce as if they are on equal footing….#thatisall!

  98. X,Y,”and Z” May 6, 2011

    @LARRY re: May 6, 2011 at 1:27 pm —

    Hey Larry, enlighten us: just how many #1 CDs does Rihanna have? (Name one! it can be on ANY U.S. chart, at ANY time!)

    Then Larry(?), after you’re done apologizing for your hairline…

    1.) Can you THEN tell us just how many ‘#1-song writing credits’ Rihanna has – as compared to Chris Brown.
    2.) Can you tell us how many #1-($87-Million total grossing) movies Rihanna has Executive Produced/Co-Starred in.

    Larry, Beyonce’s X-30-something-year-old back-up singer, does NOT want you: She’s not into black men! (…and man does NOT lay with man – as he lays with woman! It is an abomination and sin, and the wages of sin is DEATH..!!)

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!

  99. Kimberly May 6, 2011

    Bey stans are jumping through hoops making fools of themseleves becasue the camel cheap wig b**** is flopping hard. While people with talent are rising up the charts, Bey’s reign of fakeness is done.

  100. mobwife…….”she aint you”!! :-) May 6, 2011

    @Terrence

    Woooo, slow down there Sparky! Chris Brown is far from an MJJ clone. I’m not really sure why his name is being mentioned in a POST ABOUT KELLY ROWLAND but okay?!?! I loved MJJ and I agree with you that any delusional stan who might believe that their female fav (although I like Beyonce) could ever dance circles around the DANCING LEGEND MICHAEL J. JACKSON, should be taken out behind the woodshed and…..LOL you know the rest!! Beyonce is a good dancer who can pull off a competent s*** dance rouitne in high heels! The same can be said of Ciara who can also give many of today’s male dancers a run for their money! IMO

    As for Chris Brown being a clone of MJJ, you need to stop with that noise and utter nonsense! There are quite a few in the industry who I would classify as MJJ clones (see Usher, Ne-Yo, The Dream, etc) but Chris is far from one. Yes, he has some MJJ inspired steps but Chris does so much more than simply slide across the floor! I have seen very few “musically inclined” dancers do the routines I have seen Chris do (see Deuces video). Chris turned 22 yesterday and MJJ died at 50. Mike had been in the industry perfecting his craft for 45 YEARS. Of course his steps are a tad more polished…DUH!!!

  101. Maxine May 6, 2011

    Bey aint the 1st or only women to dance in heels, I dont know why her fans make a big deal about it. Tina, Kelly Rowland, Ciara, Janet, Mya & Gaga dances in heels and they are REAL dancers, who know how to do some steps. Like someone said, Bey’s moves are stripper moves without the poll. And dont require much of any skill or technique to do them..

  102. Lee Lee May 6, 2011

    I agree with Terrence on EVERYTHING he said 200%, that guy speaks the truth. And Im a Bey fan. But lets be real people, she’s not today’s MJ, that title has more of a chance with Justin Timberlake or Justin Bieber

  103. mobwife…….”she aint you”!! :-) May 6, 2011

    Solange?? Does she have a music career? Stop it now…Kelly “ain’t” hardly worried about this child. Unless Solange comes out on some epic, classic Lauryn Hill ” ISH” she can stay home and concentrate on being a mother……Happy Mother’s day Solange…LOL! 🙂

  104. mobwife…….”she aint you”!! :-) May 6, 2011

    “Justin Timberlake or Justin Bieber”

    Wow, typical!

    I’d rather see Beyonce with the title (she is not entitled to) then these two! FTW??

  105. Maxine May 6, 2011

    @Lee lee nobody this generation is going to be as good as him. Their either not as good or their copy cats. If their better than him, the wont sell better. I mean the man released the biggest album on the planet. Who today is even close to matching that? No name comes to my mind.

    *********************

    LOL…..WHAT?? All of that barrowed “success” you speak of will evaporate sooner than you think! The current media hoax, illusion, S&M (smoke & mirrors) is just about coming to a close. Admissions of depravity (I like to be whipped and beaten), lack of true singing ability (see Grammy’s, The Brit Awards, NBA Halftime show), and an inability to perform live (see MTV review “does Rihanna need to develop a SASHA FIRECE alter-ego to improce her stage performance?”) will be her undoing!!

  107. Nene May 6, 2011

    Rihanna is more successful than Rihanna, I bet thats why he kicked her ass, if a man gotta put his hands on a women like that he’s a insecure piece of s***. And I wasnt a fan of his before but I lost all respect for him once he did that and showed no remource to her, he was sorry he got caught. He’s a loser and he always will be, his success is limited and going nowhere. He’s at his peak and he’s only 22.

  108. X,Y,”and Z” May 6, 2011

    @NENE re:5:43 pm —

    “his success is limited and going nowhere”…?! <–0_o

    Nene, RIAA.com just "GOLD CERTIFIED" 'F.A.M.E' I think you should "rub your tits" and give Chris a Standing Ovation!

    "He's at his peak and he's only 22."

    Hmm… Well Nene, when you've pretty much mastered film (#1-Movie), music (#1-CD) I guess you've gotta work twice as much/hard to REMAIN at #1. But YOUR fav won't have that to worry about – even after ALL the hype – Rihanna has NEVER had a #1 CD..!! Maybe if she pulled the microphone from her snatch, and THEN stopped telling lies and talking about CBreezy – s*** might THEN "work out" for her..!!

    X,Y,"and Z" — OUT..!!

  109. Nene May 6, 2011

    LOFL CB is a pathetic excuse for a man, thats why he destroyed that dressing room. he’s a loser, losers can have hit albums, but he’s nowhere near better than her.

    When it comes to the 2 of them people with common sense are always gonna pick her. And what does she have to lie about? He’s the liar and you f****** know it. Your a pathetic excuse for a human being, your defending a women beater, for that alone he’s not a man, he’s a child, or a baby. Rihanna can get a perferomance almost anywhere she wants, and nobody wants to see Chris perform. LOFL he might pretend to cry again.

  110. Imani132 May 15, 2011

    I LOVE THE VIDEO! THE HALF NAKED DUDES WITH SIX PACKS IS A NICE TOUCH! *Falls out and fsints*

  111. Blue- August 16, 2011

    Hate the video? Huh? How can anyone hate the video? Cant be serious. The video is the epitome of s** and s***. It reeks of it. Thats how I would of did it had it been me, s***. In fact, what song or video reeks of this much s** in the last few years? *Perfection*.

  112. Blue- August 16, 2011

    OH, and as far as the Chris Brown comments are concerned, Chris may be a toolbox but it isnt like people dont or wouldnt want to see him perform because despite his dirtbag status, he is still talented and can dance his ass off. People will STILL pay to see him perform and watch award shows repeadedly where he is dancing especially. Cmon, knock it off. Stop it.

  113. Blue- August 16, 2011

    Rhianna has never had a #1 CD? Huh?
