I CANT WAIT!
Love it!
I love the cover! Is she going to have a listening party soon?
Love it! Im buying it
It reminds me of Alicia Keys “AS I AM” album cover. FLAWLESS
She looks like a t*****…….as for the music, can’t wait to hear it.
OMG Kelly is slaying my life!!!
Haters stay pressed while she is rising to the top!!!
hm… cute cover
Im very proud of kelly and though a lot of people tear her down she deserves every bit of any success that comes her way. many doubt but I Saw something kelly in 1998 when she had the purple hair cut and I Knew she had potential to be way more than just another group member and since then Ive been hoping for her to prove me right I was a fan because I Saw something in her and for the first time she is making her doubters second guess them selves even after all of the success she achieved oversea making hit dance records and them crowning her the new donna summer even now with her having the number 1 record for 6 weeks people still try and take something away from her. its not about her being better than her peers I Just want her to sit next to them there are many who can sing and dance in the industry and even if she isnt te very best singer or dancer she defenitely can sing and dance and if given the right music she deserves a lot of success and support You already know Im buying the album I Wouldnt be me if I Didnt I Always support kelly she knows how to make me give up the loot
STUNNING!
THIS is the year of Destiny’s Child-ren!
Boo h**, this is a rip of Alicia Keys AS I AM! Omg why the f*** do these celebs always have to do the same s*** done, a million times before? F*** I have nothing against her, and her success, but please be creative, stand out, make you presence known! My god what the f*** has to happen to get these artist to start making real music, real vocals, real lyrics, real instrumentation, real emotion??? Where in the f*** is the sincerity when it come to the music?? People are so tired of this club, chillin in the hallway b******* as music! My God, my God, my God! When will this s*** stop! F*** man we need to start boycotting the radio stations! That is why Adele is selling because he connects with her fans, she makes music for all people not just the hood folks, or the young ass posers with no taste in music whatsoever!!
Do any of you stans except better from your favs or you just take the s*** because of who they are??
We really need a movement, and we need one now!!
Tired of these non singing ass people!
Please stop saying look for the music, bring the real s*** to the radio!!
For f**** sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see Alicia Keys’ As I Am cover when i look at this
^^^ Co Sign
she looks very pretty….
if ur not going to buy her album, why are u worried about how much shes goin to sell…..
I’m buying cuz I support destinys child.
I hate this recycled album titles tho. Here I am. Here I stand. As I am. As we lay. I am Here. I am Sasha fierce.
It’s given chile just name the album Kelly Rowland and be done with it.
I predict. 115 first week (big maybe). Here’s hoping she goes at least gold.
Pretty.
I don’t think she had a nose job tho. She would have admitted to it if she did, wouldn’t she? Like her boob job. Which looks fantastic btw.
but ya, this won’t be a blockbuster obviously.
She should capitalize on her judging spot on the UK XFactor and do heavy promo over there.
As well as some catchy electro-pop tunes in tow.
Nicole Flopsinger is doing rather well over there and all she did was guess judge.
The cover looks great!!!Can’t wait for the album!!!!!!!!
I HOPE “LAY IT ON ME” IS NOT THE 2ND SINGLE….
*guest judge
LMFAO @ People comparing this cover to Adulteress Keys album cover >.>
Kelly looks HOTT!
Lovely
LMFAO @ People comparing this cover to Adulteress Keys album cover >.>
Kelly looks HOT!
Hot….beautiful
This is so beautiful.
The cover is so similar to alexis jordan album.
BABY(in my Monique voice) KELLY is getting ready to snatch wigs, topaes, dentures, fake legs, dogs and cats hair! I told u B****** she was getting ready to S*** ON ALL! >>>NEXT ITS WORLD DOMINATION! @Rych and the other hating asshole that mention KING B at the top of the post *both of yall can go and eat a d**** @robluvciara Ur ass got the nerve to say KELLY looks like a t*****, when ur silly ass stan Ciara BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA OH THE IRONY.
LOOK hot…
go go go kelly.
Gorgeous.
Looks like alicia keys as i am. & leona lewis 1st album.
I think the album will sold 35 – 75K in 1st week.
Impossible for kelly to reach 300K, but maybe she can reach 150.
Lol

I freakin love it!!! It’s exactly what the title suggests, HERE I AM. I can’t wait to hear what else Kelly has been cooking up over the past couple years. I know it’ll be HOT!
Ok it is not a bad cover but….
These artists need to star hiring we art students or Coverlandia artists because these covers are so boring. Bey’s cover was striking in a way that would make me pay attention. This one might get me to see it but to buy it? I dunno.
She looks beautiful! We need a video to your new single Kelly! ASAP!!! The video should have already be shot & should be put out this week Y u r the most talked about female r&b artist right now. We also need u to perform your single Motivation elsewhere like the Monique Show, George Lopez Show, 106 & Park, & other late nite shows. Also make appearances at different events & keep the blogs talking. On her album release day or the day b4 it she needs to do a concert on 106 & Park performing songs off the album like Ledisi & Chris Brown did. She could get atleast 200-210k the 1st week if she promote right. & set up where ppl can pre-order your album & TWEET yourself & tell your fans where we can purchase it at!
This cover is gorgeous…. and if you gotta problem wit it, maybe you need to check yourself… cause it’s beathe taking! #loveher
WHY IS EVERYBODY TRYING TO COMPARE HER TO SOMEBODY… IF YOU’D LOOK AROUND ALL THESE ARTIST ARE DOING THE SAME S***… NOBODY IS DOING SOMETHING THAT HASN’T ALREADY BEEN DONE BEFORE! PERSONALLY I LOVE THE COVER AND WILL BE PURCHASING THE ALBUM, BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABOUT THE COVER IT’S ABOUT THE MUSIC REALLY! IF YOU GOTTA PROBLEM WITH HER COVER, THEM MAYBE YOU NEED TO LOOK AT YOURSELF AND CHECK YOURSELF FOR HATIN… #IMJUSTSAYIN
I like it.
S*** and I cannot wait…bring on “Lay It on Me”
I reckon that the way this album cover has been done suits Kelly Rowland best. Personally, this style of cover for an album didnt not suit Alicia Keys or Leona lewis at all!
Im lovin how kelly is gettin everyone talking, its about time Kelly stepped out of her own. Im definate;y hoping to see a number 1 album on her way as well as multiple awards for her music, and a major tour. Kelly you can do it!
Nevertheless, the album cover is beautiful! I feel Kelly is one of a few artists that are truly R&B atm…
Seen before. Could have been better. (I’m a fan)
really though idk what the hell kelly did to yall mothers cause u guys can hate the hell out of her.. i guess she is doing something right for that.. first the performance i was like ok cool now the album cover really??
anyway kelly look beautiful
At first I didnt get why this album cover, but then looking at it just shows her grind (hence the sweat).. she has been putting in work and now “Here I Am”. Good for Kelly, this has been a long time coming, sane people knew she was being blackballed in the industry because of the Knowles, and now that Beyonce is done Kelly is coming.
HATERS NEED TO GET A REAL JOB.
O plz. Stop estimating the number of sells. It’s gonna go gold. That’s it. There’s only a few good songs on there. She put out lay it on me just recently. That song is horrific. Not gonna be buying the album. I might buy beyonce’s tho.
god her confidence is crazy – this is the kelly i have been waiting to see since 2000 with her first single with avant – the solo artist and is perfect matching the album title – its just here – no frills thrills gimmicks makeup – very bare and emotional – it feels right – god i know she is gonna get it in with this album and i cannot fukkin wait and for all the haters please hate harder – i love the fact that kelly gives u something to do with your miserable lives – atleast u can now say u have purpose!!! good for u!!!!!
one up to karla – true kelly stan!
kelendria trene rowland better work!
Kelly ass ain’t about to snatch nothing. I can’t stand these jump on board fake ass fans as of late. I’ve been a fan of Destiny’s Child since day 1.When they went solo everybody knew Beyonce was going to be the star she sounded better then had more stage presence was just an all around better artist than kelly then and still is. I love kelly too and i’m happy she is getting here shine now. However to act like she is killing the game with a single that’s peak has only been #21 is laughable. Beyonce has had plenty of hits and plenty of sales. If 4 Flops(Which I doubt it will) it will not put a dent on her accomplishments. I have every kelly rowland solo album and i’m kind of rubbed she had to resort to doing the standard lil wayne collab just for a hit. Motivation isn’t kelly at all. I hope Here I Am does well…But if the music is anything like Motivation I will be getting it via t******.
AND ITS FANS LIKE UR DUMB ASS THAT MAKES HER HAVE TO WORK EXTRA HARD WHEN THEIVE LIKE U JUST STEAL HER MUSIC ANYWAY – GOD IM GLAD KELLY DOESNT READ THESE STUPID ASS BLOGS BECAUSE HALF OF U HATERS ARE RIDICULOUS ^^^^^^^^^^^^HONEST2HONEST
Shut the hell up I buy music. How am I dumb? When im giving my honest opinion. I didn’t have to buy her albums in the first place. Don’t get on here acting like your dumb ass is some saint when it is people like you that “Stan” that turn people off from the artist because you act like they are GOD. Also take that old ass Miss Kelly pic down. If you’re going to rep her put her better recent pics up. Don’t come at me like that I have Itunes and Zune You c***. I pay for music I like. Plus I read you telling someone to get a job. B**** as quick as you responded do your bummy ass have one? I know I do….You are dismissed….Find that seat and sit your crazy stan ass down
Wanted something more in your face
QUEENBEY will be on CNN in less than 2 minutes
BLEACHonce will flop tomorrow:)
BEAUTY, CLASSY, S***, GLAMOROUS! I LOVE IT! DAWN KELLY!
I LIKE IT !!!!
yessssssssssss!
*2 snapss*
*throws shoe at computer*
*walks out room and walks back in*
I LOVEEEE IT!!! Simplicity at it’s best =)
Gorg!
Kelly looks so beautiful. I’m lovin’ this cover.
LOLL @ 35K IN THE FIRST WEEK.
THAT PREDICTION IS WAAAAAAAYYYYY TO HIGH.
ANYWAYS….. I DONT LIKE THE COVER, THE “WATER” LOOKS LIKE BUMPS.
I like the cover but its likes similar to the Motivation cover, I am not a jump on fan. I have
a fan since the DC days. I like all of the girls but Kelly is my favorite. I don’t why people
are saying Beyonce ‘s Performance epic because it was not I have seen do that some
performance on other show.
Beautiful Cover.
Nice cover. Fits the title perfectly.
Hmmm……I like it! It’s s*** yet subtle! She’s not showing any skin but at the same time it captures your attention! Very nice!
I’m impressed with the album cover but her promo needs to kick on like any minute! Her performance at the BET Awards was really good, but she needs to start doing interviews and more performances! I can’t really see GMA, The Today Show booking her, but she can probably do The Monique Show, Wendy Williams & course 106! I just don’t think ‘Motivation’ really appeals to anything other than the urban talk shows. *shrugs*
But wait….’Lay It On Me’ is her next single?! Ugh! I don’t like that song! I didn’t want her to follow up with another s** song & the song is just so…boring. She needs something more upbeat that appeals to a broader audience. I really don’t think that was a good single choice. *le sigh*
We shall see how she does. *shrugs*
Yea i’m with va stand up I don’t think she appeals to anybody else but the urban audience and that can only get you so far, and wassup with all the s** songs?? I guess she’s going that s** sells route. But I notice that about kelly, her last album was filled with songs about s**, so im guessing she’s going the same route with this cd. Ill be getting the cd tho. But I would like to hear a song from her with substance, you know a ballad something relatable, I like motivation I can relate to it if im trying to get my freak on but that’s about it, I bet shell go number one on the r&b charts.
Kelly i love it gurl!!!….#Rowldawgs please ignore them…They only make K.Row grind harder just to put them in their place
reminds me of leona
hahaha… im getting used to the fact that an album is coming out at all!
I was pumped! I thought the album was coming out soon after when love takes over!
I wonder what songs made it on the album! i still heart commander and rose coloured glasses!
Like it, thought it was Alexandra Burke though :s but she looks better!
beautiful!
Well, I put it like this; I don’t care if she sells 5 cds her first week, just as long as I have 1 out of the 5 cds that was sold! I love Kelly and I wish here the best.
“Here I Am”…. Where is she? In a club with Ciara, La La, Kim K or Brandy? On a beach?
Anywhere except for in a booth making an album smh.
“Here I Am”…. Where is she? In a club with Ciara, La La, Kim K or Brandy? On a beach?
Anywhere except for in a booth making an album smh. I’ll believe it when I see it in the stores.
Wow, this woman is so damn gorgeous! Kelly has really grown into such a s***, sophisticated, talented, independent, intelligent woman. I can’t believe this was the same skinny, shy girl who was so self conscious in DC! She’s working that stage now and channeling her inner Janet but still being Ms. Kelly. I am excited for this album to drop and I am definitely going to cop the album. Say what you want, but Kelly is going to be successful this time around. All of her fans from who have been supporting her for her first 2 albums have been waiting patiently and are ready for this album to be released. Kelly sold 2 million for her first album and over 1.2 million for her second, so hopefully with her previous fans and her new fans she can manage to sell a few million worldwide. It’s all about promotion/marketing and the right singles. I want “I’m That Chick” to be released as the third single.
This looks a little like Alicias Keys album!!!
Get sum real art work Kelly Rowland!
