Kelly Rowland Rocks Splash Bash (Performances)

Published: Saturday 6th Aug 2011 by Sam

With an an album to promote, R&B/Dance diva Kelly Rowland shows no sign of slowing down. And although many long to see her hit TV shows ala Leno, it doesn’t mean the 30 year old songbird isn’t performing. Case, point, example, her performances at the Splash Bash in Washington yesterday.

Check out Ms. Kelly slay the stage with performances of new single ‘Lay It On Me’, ‘Bad Habit’, and smash hit ‘Motivation’ after the jump…

Lay It On Me

Bad Habit

Motivation

Kelly really is emerging as quite the formidable performer. Put simply, she killed it! From vocals, sass, choreography, that was a home-run. All we need now is to see such showings on TV, so the masses can see what many of the That Grape Juice faithful have known for the longest.

  6. ojie king August 6, 2011

    Honestly, i’m beginning to second guess her “new management thing” because this performance should have been done on a NATIONALLY TELEVISED STAGE. THIS SHOULD HAVE ALL BEEN DONE ON THE RELEASE WEEK TO GET PEOPLE TALKING. LETS FACE IT, ALL THE RADION STATION APPEARANCES AND INTERVIEWS WOULD ONLY WORK IF SHE WERE ONLY PROMOTING A FILM OR THE EXPRESS FRAGRANCE NOT FOR AN ALBUM. THE ONLY THING THAT MOTIVATES THE PURCHASE OF AN ALBUM IS SEEING THE ARTIST F****** PERFORM THE SONG OR HAVING THE SONG ON THE RADIO IN CONSTANT ROTATION. SHE HAS SUCCEEDED AT THE RADIO PART NOW SHE NEEDS TO START PERFORMING HER S***.

    LOOK AT JENNIFER HUDSON, THE ALBUM PROMO RELEASE WAS EXCEPTIONALLY HANDLED, HONESTLY KUDOS TO HER TEAM. SHE WAS ON IDOL, VIEW, WENDY WILLIAMS, 106 AND PARK (WITH A MINI CONCERT I MIGHT ADD), EVEN DANCING WITH THE STARS. OKAY I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THESE SHOWS HAVE GONE OF THE AIR FOR SUMMER HIATUS BUT SOME ARE STILL ON APPARENTLY. THAT ALBUM WOULD HAVE OPENED MUCH MORE STRONGLY IS SHE HAD DONE MORE TELEVISED PERFORMANCES. AS ONE OF THE WRITERS ON THIS BLOG SAYS, ” STRIKE IT WHILST IT IS HOT”. COME ON KELLY WE BELIEVE IN YOU, WE NEED TO SEE YOU PERFORM YOUR SONG ON TV. WAYNE IS ON TOUR, WHY DONT U ASK HIM TO PERFORM ON SOME OF HIS DATES, AS A SURPRISE GUEST?? OR WITH BIG SEAN AS A SURPRISE GUEST?

  7. YOOSONDALOOSE August 6, 2011

    WOW, really good!

  8. sleazy August 6, 2011

  9. JUSTQua August 6, 2011

    Ok miss Kelly Rowland show these people you can SANG. You wasn’t in DC just cause.
    I can’t wait until the tour start. I will be front row.

  10. Thedimplepuppet August 6, 2011

    Sam has been a Kelly Rowland fan since this blog has started. But he opens the gate for other people to go N on her like the Rihanna fans because he’s always talking s*** about her which is unfortunate. Sam you have arrived and some of these Stan wars are because of the hate you spill on your own blog. Dear brother it’s time to grow up you have way to much going for yourself to let your immature word play stop you from your full potential of what god has N store for you. You should always give your honest opionion on topics but leave the hate for yesterday.

  11. KINGB SLAYS! August 6, 2011

    She makes Ciara, Keri & Rihanna look bad lol GO KELLY!

  12. Thedimplepuppet August 6, 2011

    Ojie King I hear what your saying but it’s like Kelly is starting from the bottom & working her way to the top which isn’t a bad thing. Yes she’s been in the business 15 years plus but I have a feeling Kelly Rowland is finally ready to become the star that she was always meant to be & she’s putting in the necessary work to do so. Go Kelly & shine bright.

  13. kimberly August 6, 2011

    I can listen to and watch Kelly over all these other lesser artist out there. No names. She didi her thing and she was live. She limited her dancing to make her vocals shine unlike some artist I know that want to dance and not concentrate on their singing.

  14. Byrd1181 August 6, 2011

    LOVE KELLY!

  15. Laurie August 6, 2011

  29. Laurie August 6, 2011

    @ojie king

    THANK YOU !!! THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING FOR AGES !!! I DON’T NEED TO ADD ANYTHING TO WHAT YOU SAID SIMPLY TRUE !!!

  30. JR August 6, 2011

    Thats whats I am talking about! She keeps getting better and better! Yes she sang my song Bad Habit…that song right there. Anyway to Ojie King I def understand your frustration with the promotion of this album, but no need to worry. She and her team are looking for longevity with this project. I actually see it happening. Especially with her Xfactor spot & upcoming tour.

    Now @Ojie you also mention looked at the promotion J. Hudson had but I want you to look at her current numbers as well. Yea she had a higher debut for first week sales then Kelly. But a week after the record came out no one was talking about that album. To be honest I was disappointed because the album sucks. It sound like she made it for old people. Nonetheless she is a great talent so she is able to bounce back.

    Back to Kelly. No that was not Wayne in the background it was ACE HOOD. As frustrated as we all have been about the promotion of this album I trust that things will only get better from here. It don’t matter cause I’ve been down with Kelly Rowland since No No No, the Simply Deep & Ms. Kelly era, and I damn sure aint going nowhere now. Love KELLY all day!

  31. Keepin it 100 August 6, 2011

    She did really great!!! She is improving vocally & live so much! Proud of her! Awesome job Kelly! Keep doing what you are doing….practice makes perfect! plllzzz come to Atlanta & Orlando with your tour with Chris Brown!

  32. Lebo(CaribbeanBoi) August 6, 2011

    WOW!!! I think she did Bad Habit so effortless , her voice was just amazing .. On point .. I was like Wow .. Gr8 performances …

    She SLAYED her vocals, the choreo was great and she is starting to slightly develop her stage presence, but man, this was a DEAD CROWD!!!She was really unlucky with this one!

  36. antertain August 6, 2011

    Yes Sam you right he vocals gotta be like this on TV showings.

    Very good showing.
    Such a talent and vocal power.

    Arrangement still needs slight tweeking on Moivation but that’s a small detail cus she did great.

  37. Tc23 August 6, 2011

    OMG kelly really is growin and maturing performance wise literally in front of our eyes!! I always knew she had it in her and finally she realizes it .. if rihanna can tour the world then kelly can too cuz I like rihanna but I’m srry kellys stage presence eats her up anyday

  39. Dollar$ign$kills August 6, 2011

    Kelly tore the stage up. Shes a good performer.

    That pic TGJ used reminds me of Xtina during the Stripped era.

  40. say what!! August 6, 2011

    kelly takin a lil somethin from everybody performing i see!!! she got beyonces over singing of a song that shouldn be song so hard ciaras singing of parts of a song and dancing and talking to the crowd and rihanna who can barely hold a note. and she got janets swag just not janets moves… smh and yall think its hot REALLY!!! #bandwagoners kelly doesnt have a solo voice she meant to be a background singer her tone is awful. sn i love her tho and bought the cd

  41. YeaBey Is Schoolin’ Life August 6, 2011

    I LIKED IT!

    *waits impatiently for the video*

  42. Coockie August 6, 2011

    She’s boring. I kept looking at the s*** male dancers.

  43. YeaBey Is Schoolin’ Life August 6, 2011

    Somehow I feel like she prefers doing LIVE SHOWS than TV performances….it looks like she’s a bit more comfortable

  44. THE ICONIC pop royalty (I’m a rude Boy) August 6, 2011

    she was outta breath in motivation and she still struggling while performing this song live !
    but i liked the dance break ! her dancers are too much for me ! too much ! 5.5/10 cuz she’s been in this game for 15 years and those vocals aren’t acceptable from her ! i like her but let’s be honest !

    i liked “lay it on me” live ! BUT SHE’S OUTTA BREATH IN ALL OF THEM !

    SHE NEED SOME #PRACTICE !

    i still love her though !
    *waits for someone to call me a hater* !

  45. YeaBey Is Schoolin’ Life August 6, 2011

    @POP ROYALTY
    I never watched the Motivation or Bad Habit performance….was she really out of breath?

  46. KellyRoGo August 6, 2011

    *cleans ears*

    nope don’t hear out of breath in neither song… smh, these people are annoying as F***!

  47. U wanna rumble with the bees huh??? (queenbey) August 6, 2011

    Y cant she just perform with a mic????

    Ill tell u why-

    She has those backup dancers to distract ppl from her horrible ass singing….

    Its a blessing in disguise though bcuz I find her voice annoying ass f***, she is ALWAYS over singing simple ass notes, she is worst than JHud!!! 🙁

  48. Dave August 6, 2011

    OMFG, SHE SLAYED “MOTIVATION”, She hit them E5’s & G5 again LIVE. WHATTTTTTTTTTT?! Y’all can not say she didn’t sing the BET Awards live now, or at least she couldn’t do it live because she just did it AGAIN. & I loved her vocals on “Lay It On Me”, & “Bad Habit”

  49. Dave August 6, 2011

    @THE ICONIC POP ROYALTY (I’M A RUDE BOY)

    BYE, even if she was, Rihanna is NEVER out of breath & still struggles to hit any notes in her songs. She barely hit the big note in “Only Girl” (in the world). & this is without dancing, imagine if Rihanna actually did manage to dance. U need to have a whole row of seats. Sh*t, u need the WHOLE auditorium.

  50. GLYNNJE August 6, 2011

    Hiya @THEDIMPLEPUPPET good evening sweethrt 🙂

    Vocals were very good here. She just needs to do it on TV. There are a lot of things they need to get right. The mic, the sound and the in-ears. On top of that her voice and stamina gotta be ready. It’s getting better. She’s sounding good.

  62. THE ICONIC pop royalty (I’m a rude Boy) August 6, 2011

    @KELLY MOTIVATION :

    hey girl 😉 ! did u see kelly’s performance ?! rate it for me ! i will give her 7/10 overall !

  63. ms jazz August 6, 2011

    Go head Kelly

  64. nice_gurl August 6, 2011

    Sounds like she’s been practicing a lot. She gets out of breath on some parts, but she was really good. And those dancers are so s***…but I was looking at Kelly most of the time. And I love that she performed Bad Habit…one of my fave songs of hers.

  65. Angela Wesley August 6, 2011

    For those fools who are saying that Kelly was out of breath are lying. I just hate that Bet
    canceled the Mon quine show because she would have happy to invite Kelly to the
    show. I want the Today Show to invite Kelly to perform some of songs from the album.

  66. SHESDUMB August 6, 2011

    TOO BAD HER ALBUM CANT ROCK THE CHARTS

    NEXT>>>>>>

  67. Kellymotivation August 6, 2011

    @POP ROYALTY

    I rate it 7.5/10…….but that was def. an improvement from that Jay Leno show where i thought she sounded horrible……but I must say she does gives great performances……….:)

  68. lovenmimi August 7, 2011

    grape juice i couldn’t of said it any better… more mainstream t.v. love kelly rowland she is doing here thing…

  69. X,Y,”and Z” August 7, 2011

    K, (AGAIN) in an unbiased and egalitarian spirit, I’ll NOW listen/watch the performances Sam had above post. I’ve past listened-to/watched her live TV performances and they’ve been…”lacking”.. BRB..

    X,Y,”and Z”

  70. X,Y,”and Z” August 7, 2011

    @Sam —

    (In a word?)…WEAK..!!

    @Chris Brown and/or his staff —

    Is THIS the weak, failing and obviously straining..”artist” you want on YOUR tour? Chris, again I ask, if her fans were’t…”motivated” to buy her CD, then what makes you think they’ll buy the more expensive concert tickets?

    “Oh, Kelly Rowland will do well in The U.K./Europe where she has a HUGE FOLLOWING!!”

    Well, Chris/Staff, here’s the WORLD WIDE sales (the top-selling albums according to global
    sales figures and national album charts issue date: August 4, 2011): 78,000! (http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm) And, let me get this right, she wants the U.K. release of “Here I Am” to coincide with “the launch of X-Factor’s live shows” where she has, signed into her contract, an agreement allowing her to perform “Here I Am” material, is this right? (unrealitytv.co.uk/x-factor/kelly-rowland-to-release-here-i-am-during-x-factor-live-shows/)

    ..Well, all “interested” U.K. 15-Million viewers need do is to watch her U.S. late-night broadcast TV performances to get a taste; in a word(what the Urban blogs have now judged): WEAK!
    Don’t believe me? Well you go on YBF and read the comments! 1/3 were repeat comments by her (7-motivated) fans; 1/3 was “IFFY” ’bout her singing/dancing/performing; and the remaining 1/3 called it: WEAK!

    Oh, and before I forget, she’s fallen-off in U.S. sales some (approx) 55% from her debut 77K to some 23K for this, her second week. And her Canadian sales? ..Well she debuted at 45 (womp-womp) – guess there’s no…”motivation” up in Blue Kid country, either!

    Now I ask, if these..”UNmotivated trends” hold, and her then U.K. sales are as disappointing as her U.S. domestic OTC sales, shouldn’t that then SURELY sound the death-knell of 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland’s music-star aspirations? I mean (again I ask) how can you mentor someone when you-yourself is as weak, can’t move units, and is herself in serious need of mentoring and tutelage?

    ..And you can BEST believe, Simon Cowell WILL be watching..
    She’s leaving open the doors/windows, and there’s a storm just over the horizon…

    X,Y,”and Z”

  71. Roc August 7, 2011

    A lot of people are not seeing the direction her mgmt is taking her in. Yes, Kelly has been around for 15 + years, but not as a solo *leading* artist and depending on the person (of course) this can be damaging if a solo career is attempted later on. She was trained right alongside the other girls in the group, but as the saying goes “train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he shall not depart”. This is why in earlier interviews she was cited as saying that she preferred being in a group as opposed to being a solo act. Who says that- besides a ‘trained’ person?

    That is exactly what happened to Kelly very early on. She was in a sense ‘reared’ to be the backup, standby, second- even though all along she [probably] wanted more as can be evidenced by the relentless pursuit of a a solo career.

    Kelly has always had a problem with stage fright. However, lack of solo confidence can play a part in this as well and I believe that her mgmt is aware of this thus the reason why she is doing small venues to start.

    Her mgmt’s strategy has many layers to it. This is a grass roots push in many ways. She’s not re-connecting, but connecting, for the 1st time, with her urban audience in an almost interpersonal way. The populace at large have never known her as a ‘solo’ act. This is exhibited time and time again on every blog that i visit- urban or otherwise. There’s the obvious and usual comparisons, but then there is the ‘she’s boring-she’s a backup signer, ‘she doesn’t know what she wants to be’ comments.

    The problem is that *YOU* don’t know who *SHE* is as a *solo act*. The only introduction that any of us have been afforded, looking at the years under previous mgmt of course, is with that of a backup singer who does *a few side projects*. She is acquainting you, for the 1st time, with who she really is and she will have to take baby steps to accomplish this.

    Kelly is like any other artist with something to say through song and deed- that she is multi-dimensional. She does not wish to be confined by any genre in a way that limits her art. The bottom line is this …. to understand the artistry behind any talent one needs only to *want* to understand. If you don’t want to understand you won’t. However, if you do then I think she just might surprise us all.

  72. MARIO August 7, 2011

    I totally agree with you ROC. I don’t see a fault in her management. There is one thing I saw as a problem and that was lack of promo the weeks before the release and THAT was due to Kelly taking the XFACTOR job which held auditions during that time that she had to be a part of.
    @ OJIE KING..I feel your frustration with the lack of promo. It frustrated me too that she had obligations in the UK when her album was coming out…Bad scheduling yes…but I think the album is beginning to speak for itself and she has started a pretty decent promo schedule in the last week or two. It’s going to be one of those albums that maintains somewhat steady sales for a while I think as her singles come out gain airplay. The ONLY reason she didn’t do over 100K first week is lack of promo and that bothered me.
    TO THOSE OF YOU WHO QUESTION HER CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT:
    Please remember that as soon as Kelly left Matthew she had a worldwide hit, won a grammy with David Guetta, had a number one dance record, and has been on the grind ever since. She’s got everyone’s attention now…We have to see what’s she’s going to do with it.
    TO THE HATERS:
    IF YOU DON’T LIKE KELLY WHY ARE YOU CHECKING FOR HER??

  73. X,Y,”and Z” August 7, 2011

    (You’ll know it’s well-past condescension when you’re not allowed to chew your own food; they take “heaping-mouth’s full”, attempt to lecture (talk with their mouths full, they do) you with “pity-party drivel” trying THEN force-feed you!)

    @ROC re:August 7, 2011 at 12:23 pm —

    “Kelly has been around for 15 + years, but not as a solo *leading* artist.”

    She’s “been around as a singles artist” since 2002, no? That’s ALMOST 10-years! And what has SHE to show for it? Not-a-one Platinum U.S. OTC CD/Single. Her Worldwide sales had peaked with that debut solo effort: 2-Million World Wide. Then, in 2007, it dropped to some 1.3-Million.. And now? Well now, her X-Factor gig is supposed to somehow propel her to her “rightful place” ‘upon-high’ of the Pop-Culture Landscape; or so the fuzzy-logic reads.

    Funny thing, what Polow da Don said (paraphrasing): “Artists usually peak at 25-years-old.”
    Kelly Rowland is a 30-something-year-old..!! She’s neither singer, nor dancer; what then is she?
    Ciara WILL stage a massive come-back. Know why? Because she’ll be correctly re-packaged as THE premier female stage performer (dancer) that SHE is.
    Teyanna Taylor CAN sing, dance, write, and is now making her name on the big screen.
    Keri Hilson is an established song-writer, producer AND knows stage presentation – ‘FAR-more so’ when compared to the “stage-fright” prone 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland!

    “lack of solo confidence can play a part in this as well and I believe that her mgmt is aware of this thus the reason why she is doing small venues to start.” <–0~0

    Roc, what's that now? But her management has thrown "lack-of-solo-confidence, stage-frightful" Kelly Rowland "IN THE DEEP END: touring with T-H-E preeminent showman in ALL the industry/game – Christopher Brown!" Roc, if your logic holds true, then why would you place a 'hapless performer' on the same bill (stage?) with T-H-E "highest-of-energy lightening bold" that IS Chris Brown? Don't YOU think they'll then be comparisons between their performances? He'll bring 'em to a fever-pitch, and she'll put 'em to sleep! Is this the rational/logic? I've never heard of an audience being catapulted to dizzying heights, then flung-down to an assured "asphalt-concrete death"!

    "Her mgmt’s strategy has many layers to it. This is a grass roots push in many ways. She’s not re-connecting, but connecting," <–0~o ..?!? (Well-above my pay grade. I'll save this for the supercomputer!)

    "The populace at large have never known her as a ’solo’ act. This is exhibited time and time again on every blog that i visit- urban or otherwise."

    But we DO "know her"! She's that weak, shabby and all-too-predictable performer who we saw on late-night TV being woefully amateurish

    "To understand the artistry behind any talent one needs only to *want* to understand. If you don’t want to understand you won’t." <–O~0

    Is Kelly Rowland "T-H-E Second Coming"? ..Guess what? "Planet Earth's calendar and seasonal changes" won't wait for 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland! S*** ain't THAT serious!
    Kelly Rowland's…"ARTISTRY"..?! What artistry?! (Sigh..) You know, if you stare at a picture long enough, it'll start to move and talk to you! ..Really, try it sometime!
    "Kelly Rowland"..?! We've seen it A-L-L before: wig-out, caked/layered-on toner/bronzer/foundation served-up on a lukewarm dish of studio gimmickry! WE'RE JUST NOT INTERESTED!!

    “TO THE HATERS: IF YOU DON’T LIKE KELLY WHY ARE YOU CHECKING FOR HER??”

    Because she’s going to mess-up, and be nothing short of a drag, on an artist we’re “checking for” — as she’s NOW going to tour with him: Chris Brown!

    Some of us, as long-time Team-Breezy members, we’ve fought TOOO long in these cyber-alleys/streets/badlands to NOW see it be threatened by the likes of a 30-something-year-old FAKE, FAILING, FECKLESS Kelly Rowland!

    And where WAS Kelly Rowland during those dark days? We saw/heard Keri, Ciara and Teyana make VERY public statements/stands, then voicing their support for Breezy. Where-then was Kelly Rowland? ..In Europe, “bed-warming,” that’s where!

    Well, you know what? I’ve reconsidered, I’ve NOW decided to fight her with everything I have! I’ve seen Kelly Rowland. I KNOW her sort!

    XYZ what you need is to head into a mental institution it is obvious that you are crazy and deranged..i mean who else talks about fighting an artist who doesn’t know you and never did anything to you with all their strength, you sound like an over bloated psycho serial killer, stalking kelly rowland and ranting off about next to nothing…dude its not that serious get a life…if you don’t like her music, its simple stop buying it and stop listening to it, running round blogs and googling all the necessary information on kelly rowland will get you only somewhere..guess Prison..geez some of the crazy people, he goes from YBF, to Necole Bitchie to TGJ and everybody calls him mad and he is still typing, someone..anyone please get this joker a job or an apple for him to chill out.

    LOL where are all the damn Kelly Rowland doubters now? Kelly killed those performances and sounded amazing! She can’t sing live… yeah right. Her voice on Jay Leno was just horse and she still killed that s***! She, along with Chris Brown, Janelle Monae, and Beyouknowho are the best performers of this generation! She shits on Keri Hilson/Skeri Flopson, Ciara/Cerror, and Rihanna/RiHOna!

    She can actually SAND and not only that but SANG and dance at the same time and has one of the powerful voices in this music industry! I want her to perform like how she did in DC3 on the Destiny’s Fulfilled tour.

    You f****** dumbass! “Where was Kelly during Chris’ dark days?” You stalk Kelly so much you should remember that TGJ posted an interview about her last year and the interviewer asked about what she thought about that situation and she said “IT’S NOBODY’S DAMN BUSINESS!” She also said she loves Chris’ “Beautiful People!” Wow, you are just a damn low life, retarded fool who has nothing better else to do then hate on Kelly? You are such a p****! Like, did you try to get at her and she f****** blew you off or something? I can’t stand Rihanna’s stank ass, but I call out how untalented and slutty she is, Kelly has talent and is humble, if you don’t like her music, FINE, but why are you personally bashing her like she’s some evil chick?

    Sorry, you need to change that tampon and get your calendar updated, I haven’t commented on Necole Bitchie for damn-near two-years!

    “who else talks about fighting an artist who doesn’t know you and never did anything to you with all their strength”

    You’re much too enamored with the sound of your own voice, and are obviously given to ‘fits’ of “mental m***********”..

    1.) Kelly Rowland was “critiqued” by someone, she took offense and then SPAT on that said individual. Maybe you find it endearing to be spat upon; NOT I!
    2.) If Kelly Rowland spat upon me, or even motioned her face to point in my direction, you can best believe I’d be T-H-E very last human being she’d ever dream of doing so to.
    3.) To “fight” the likes of Kelly Rowland is to “EXPOSE” the shameless, untalented, fraud that SHE IS! And from the scorching comments that followed her late-night broadcast TV performance, my plans of derailing her “come-back/come-up” are doing marvelously well!

    (Much like her 7-fans, and unlike the discretionary-spending CD buying public..) Kelly Rowland…”MOTIVATES” me! You can TRUST you’ll find me here, on the blogs, chronicling her EVERY fall. Highlighting her every miscue, and spinning into Urban Myth every shadow of doubt that’ll contribute to exposing/uncovering and finally the downfall of THE FRAUD THAT IS 30-SOMETHING-YEAR-OLD KELLY ROWLAND..!!

    P.S. You want to get me kicked out of Team Breezy? Well, just use your “industry connections” to have him announce on twitter: “X,Y,Z – your services are no longer required, nor desired! You’re no longer TeamBreezy!” And you’ll know what? You’ll NEVER hear from me again – NEVER! It’ll be as if I had evaporated into the either! I see it, it’s a reoccurring premonition.

    But Kelly …(wait for it)…”motivates” me! ; – 9 (wink)

    That white man, that very-same one she was seen on the beach with, he’s..”gay”, is that right? Is this the spin? You DON’T stick your tongue down her gay friend’s throat! You don’t take that very same gay friend to the BET Awards, and then, when you get nominated, and he then tries to kiss you, you then play if off because you see the cameras! So sorry, 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland has been BUSTED LOONNNNG Ago!

    Kelly Rowland IS into white men! Was it not SHE who said “Orlando Bloom, and men who look like him, are THE most-beautiful men”..? Why SURE it is! When she was “upside down” on her Miami Condo mortgage, wasn’t she immediately-then seen with Richard Branson? Wasn’t she THEN seen with some older WHITE consort thereafter? 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland is into white men. She lived in Europe for an extended period. Oh, and her bff, Brandy, has just been revealed to be dating some younger Asian dude. (Manslaughter Brandy..?! Yup, that very one! ..NOW, you KNOW Imma have fun with that, right?)

    Kelly Rowland is a fair-weather friend! No-one, and I mean NO-ONE paid as close attention to that entire “Feb 8th,2009 Chrianna Fiasco” more-so than I; NO ONE..!! Kelly Rowland, when she saw Chris making his come-back THEN jumped on the bandwagon!

    As far as female friends in the industry? Ciara, Keri Hilson and Teyanna Taylor were “the firsts” and VERY vocal with their support for Chris..!!

    And you can best-believe this..”deranged SICKO” will find the time, “between cleaning toilets” to continue to expose the FRAUD that is 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland..!!
    You know, if you want to have me thrown-out of Team-Breezy, just use your “industry connections” and have Chis announce it on twitter. Then, you won’t ever hear, nor see me, on these blogs. I’ll just dematerialize, just as fast as I appeared, isn’t THAT what you want?
