New Song: Kelly Rowland – ‘Motivation (Official Remix) (ft. Trey Songz, Busta Rhymes, & Fabolous)’

Published: Monday 6th Jun 2011 by Sam

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!

    what a feeling…Alex Gaudino feat Kelly rowland debuted at no 6 on the UK charts..no 6!! wow. as for this remix i like busta’s verse on it but that,s about it.

  11. wow June 6, 2011

    Yesssssssssssssss! By far my favorite remix with all the right people! Good Job Kelly!

  13. wow June 6, 2011

    Busta Rhymes did an amazing job!!!! where the hell has he been?

  14. MISHKA June 6, 2011

    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!

  15. luv music June 6, 2011

  19. aisha June 6, 2011

    oh God, leave this song alone!

  20. BeyStan June 6, 2011

    Trey needs to have several seats. He is no ones vocalist.

  21. FlopJuice June 6, 2011

    Haha. No one cares the r’n’b charts…

    She is falling on HOT 100. That counts.
    Don’t do double standard…

  22. musik_lover June 6, 2011

    I am loving the fact she recorded new vocals rather than just adding them on the track and re-editing it.

  23. LYRIC THE COMMANDER LEE June 6, 2011

    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!!!!

  24. gio88 June 6, 2011

    amazing!!!

  25. Lebo(CaribbeanBoi) June 6, 2011

    Phire !! Luv it …..

  26. B**** PLEASE June 6, 2011

  27. molie June 6, 2011

  28. Trucie June 6, 2011

    F****** hot. Omg Busta went in! he still one of the best to ever do it!

  29. Mr. Popularity June 6, 2011

    Where is the link? I don’t see it!!

  30. Mr. Popularity June 6, 2011

    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

  31. WhoaLover June 6, 2011

    Kelly cant go anywhere but up from here on out this remix is bananaz just like the original whoaLover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trey songz omg did that and… fab “girl I follow wat u saying u aint got to twitter s***” classic…. and busta=legendary

  32. THE KINGS MJ&BEYONCE June 6, 2011

    @Flopjuice I guess it is a double standard because compared to ur LIFE u are a NON MUTHA F*CKING FACTOR STAY MAD! WHILE KELLY CONTINUE TO S*** ON U! I love this remix. I actually love the Mario remix too. KELLY IS SLAYING LEFT AND RITE WITH NO PROMO BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA AH AH HA HA HA HA HA MS.KELLY IS ALSO GEARING UP FOR HER 3RD #1 N DA UK! *YEAH SHE SHITTING ON THEM*

  33. MSBLACKROSE June 6, 2011

    NOW THATS A REMIX!!!! TREY DID HIS THANG, BUSTA WAS FIRE, FAB WAS COO TOO

  34. Dave June 6, 2011

    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.

  35. Diva June 6, 2011

    Luvsss it!!

  36. bey’knight brutal June 6, 2011

    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

  37. Bdaboss June 6, 2011

    This is the best remix thus far!

  38. uknowumad June 6, 2011

    Nice remix, Trey sounding like a fake ass R. Kelly but still nice though

  39. StarrM June 6, 2011

    Every day there is another remix to this song. Kelly’s original was enough.

  40. spunkypoop June 6, 2011

    Next Single Please.

  41. Kerry Johnson June 6, 2011

    Kelly & Rihanna are slaying this era
    Nuff said!!!!!

  42. muni June 6, 2011

    OMG KELLY F****** ROWLAND is Slaying just like THIS!! #ThatsAll

    By the way #1 is a #1 it doesn’t matter where it charts, mind you the song it is not even release to the mainstream. STAY MAD!!!!!!!

    Ah #Motivation babes

  43. Part Of The Blanco Family June 6, 2011

    JEREMIH killed it!!

  44. Kerry Johnson June 6, 2011

    Rihanna should be on the remix too!!!!

  45. Mr. T June 6, 2011

    Damn another remix???? Well when a song is hot everybody wants to hop on it……

    go, go, go………..

  46. shedaman June 6, 2011

    I would like to know when the f*** 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?

  47. TheRowlDawg June 6, 2011

    Work KELLY ROWLAND@! DANG YAL SO MAD THIS GIRL IS WINNING! GET OVER IT ALREADY!!

  48. GREG June 6, 2011

    @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.

  49. i’m a s&m lovin billy goat…”it aint no new thing” June 6, 2011

    *YAWN*

    ……. I love the original song all of these remixes ARE BORING!!

    ou slayed me with your comment…hahhahahahaahhahahh

  53. Jair June 6, 2011

    WHOOO. Trey made this remix. My fave after the Mario & R. Kelly ones.

  54. Sidney Michael Harper June 6, 2011

    Trey voice blended nice with Kels (voices made for a song together) them two should do a s*** duet together 🙂 that would be hot

  55. Mystery June 6, 2011

    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.

  56. Jonathan Gardner June 6, 2011

    “MOTIVATION”

    RADIO UPDATE:

    Urban: #1
    Urban Adult Contemporary: #39
    Rhythmic: #9
    POP: #77 – WITH N O POP ADDS! For a very slow, S***, 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 😀

  57. lovesu June 6, 2011

    Loves it! Go kels

  58. UUUHHHMMMM YEA!!! June 7, 2011
