With Kelly Rowland ‘Motivation’ sitting pretty at #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Chart for a 2nd week, no time seems more apt than the present to release the song’s official remix.
And what a remix it is; Rowland enlists an all-star Urban cast for the latest incarnation of the track; which features R&B crooner Trey Songz, Busta Rhymes, and Fabolous.
The likes of Da Brat, Jerimih, Mario and R. Kelly have served up unofficial takes on the track, which begs the question of whether the official mix is better? You be the judge after the jump…
Fire!

I absolutely love it !
And I have to admit, Trey Songz did excellent! I mean, when I just listen to him without watching him doing that thing with his mouth, his delivery IS very decent.
As a matter of fact, Kelly and Trey should do a duet, just the two of them.
Thumbs up!

in others news..good news for kelly rowland fans
speaking of kelly rowland (right now i command you to….DANCE!) she is ruling the rnb charts with her #1 smash – motivation (for a second week on top)…..and just when you think she has hung up her dance shoes … she hits you with her 12th..thats right 12th UK top 20 hit “what a feeling” debuting at number 6!!!! WORK!!!!!
also kelly rowland collaborated with pitbull for his upcoming album titled “planet pit” on a track called “castle made of sand” – heres a brief snippet –
http://www.amazon.de/gp/produc…
i love the track and the fact that its a break from dance and it showing her versatility esp as a pop artist. kind of in the same vein as rose colored glasses/just whisper/unity/stole – very pop like vocals from Ms Kelly. Love IT!!!!

Had to update my QuickTime… I LOVE that she re-recorded the vocals and props to Trey songz… he ACTUALLY sounded good here…. glad he channeled his old school… Hopefully this can push her up on the HOT 100… Busta GANGSTA as always Fabolous is HILARIOUS with his Friday reference LOL #TeamKELLY

Why did Trey have to be on here? He be trying to hard for me. Busta KILLED as usual! I don’t like him because his “Gay” comments, but he is very underrated. He can rap his ass off.

busta cant do no wrong in my book but his rap is too fast for this song
however 3 features are too much for this song though – less of kelly, takes away from the sensuality, cluttetered
but if releasing this would help us get that top 10, go go go go

I would like to know when the fuck is she going to perform this song on television like ellen, the view, good morning america, 106 & park, wendy williams, etc. this song was not sent to mainstream, but peaked at 21. if she actually performed the song it could be a top ten hit for her on the billboard 100. what is going on with her and her team. is performing out of style these days?

@Flopjuice…from my understanding “Motivation” wasnt released to pop outlets, only R&B….so for her to even be as high as she is on the pop charts with none of the pop stations playing her record is a feat in itself…..stop throwing shade and putting out lies dude.

The rnb charts matter too. I hate how Billboard only focuses on pop thats why music is such a mess cuz every artist wants to be pop now. Kelly is doing what she needs to do. The song will have to cross over to the pop stations and then move up on billboards. Unfortuantely thats how urban music has to do. No love. I doubt this remix will do it though, Lil wayne should be enough.

“MOTIVATION”
RADIO UPDATE:
Urban: #1
Urban Adult Contemporary: #39
Rhythmic: #9
POP: #77 – WITH N O POP ADDS! For a very slow, SEXY, URBAN single…this is VERY promising…I expect another week at #1 on US R&B and possibly a raise on the Hot 100…maybe it could peak past #21 if Pop keeps raising like this
