Kelly Rowland Sits Down with Essence

This week has certainly seen ‘Work’ singer Kelly Rowland put in overtime on the promo circuit to commemorate the release of her third studio effort ‘Here I Am’.  Recently, the singer was spotted on Essence.com for a brief sit-down discussing everything from the album to gal pals Brandy, Beyonce, and Michelle.

Catch the commander in action after the jump:

Thanks to Essence:

    I’m glad to see Kelly working within whatever promo budget she has been given and trying to still promote her album. I just wish she would’ve been on TV doing promo and not just appearing on magazine covers and depending mostly upon by word of mouth and a BET Awards performance to sell her album.

    YES KELLY!!! Keep up with the promo and show off your work ethic to the naysayers!

  8. can’tbelieveit July 29, 2011

    I wonder if she was talking about Ms. Tina because Kelly did live with them from the age og 10 years old until I think 18 or 19 years old.

    Kelly you’re taking a step in the right direction by PERFORMING for the Jay Leno Show. Please stop running your mouth and hit a couple more stages to save your album and to create an actual identity for yourself. Check out my video on why I think Kelly’s career isn’t as poppin as it should be at this point in the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjNId9uags4&feature=channel_video_title

  15. Aisha July 29, 2011

  16. Kellymotivation July 29, 2011

    Gosh Kelly’s favorite word is “PERIOD” LOL
    By the way, I have been seeing some commercials for Kelly’s album on “E” throughout the day

    HER TEAM IS KICKING THE PROMOTIONS

  17. jrizza July 29, 2011

    I’m tired of this one person who is always talking about “Unity” lol

  18. KELLY IS THAT CHICK July 29, 2011

  20. Almost Gold July 29, 2011

    yay kelly to sell 30k to 35k 2nd week. passing 100k on her way to platinum baby

  21. S*** July 29, 2011

    I hate the interviewer!!: WHY does he have to add an EXTRA Vowel to every word??

    Anyway, Its So Funny how Kellys trying to Pretend that SHE was the one that Drove DC!!:

    http://i52.tinypic.com/e9tbhu.jpg

    Doesnt she know that Bey STILL has control over her career??

  22. S*** July 29, 2011

    @Almost Gold

    LMAO, we havent even gotten to the 2ND WK yet, We are still waiting on the 1ST WK #s, She might not ever go GOLD. I just wanna see if Kelly can Atleast outsell Bey’s 5TH Wk Figures which im starting to doubt it. 😕

  23. BLACK July 29, 2011

    Not here for the guy interviewing her…smh

  24. Anne July 29, 2011

    According to Hits Daily Double Rumor Mill she is still on track to debut with 70 to 75K. Eric Church is predicted to easily debut at number one while second place will be a close contest btw. Adele & Kelly. Bey may be next, in the fourth spot (her predicted 5th week figures are tied with two other contenders for the fourth spot).

  25. Anne July 29, 2011

    Forgot to note that the Rumor Mill figures were updated last night.

  26. Chocolate_Box777 July 29, 2011

    In this interview was said what I always thought of Kelly. She is the IT GIRL…

  27. lola July 30, 2011

    Where are all of the stank Kelly haterz saying Kelly is lazy????? This hard working female has been doing whatever she can do to promote this damn album! Her label isn’t giving her a LARGE BUDGET! WTF do y’all expect her to do? She can’t perform on every single day time show; don’t you dummies know that costs her label so much money? If you don’t know anything about the damn business side of music, then STFU! BTW, this interview was very nice and intimate.

  28. nice_gurl July 30, 2011

    Kelly is so gorgeous and nice. She’s funny sometimes. She’s got a great personality.
