Kelly Rowland Visits Fox’s Good Day NY

Published: Thursday 4th Aug 2011 by Sam

Continuing along the promotional trail for her ‘Here I Am’ LP, Kelly Rowland stopped by Fox’s Good Day NY this morning.

The 30 year old stunner discussed many a topic including, of course, the album, judging on the X Factor UK, being the face of Sean John’s ‘Empress’, and starring in Beyonce’s ‘Party’ video.

Interview after the jump…

In other Rowland news, ‘Here I Am’s second single ‘Lay It On Me’ has seen its radio add date pushed back from August 2nd to August 16th. One can only hope this is to facilitate a tie-in with its already overdue video. Indeed, the clip for ‘Motivation’ dropped way back in April. Although, it must be said, the song has only just peaked on the Hot 100 (at #17 on) – with current figures showing it could climb higher.

    Nice!

  8. YeaBey Is Schoolin’ Life August 4, 2011

    LAY IT ON ME PUSHED BACK TO AUGUST 16TH? WTF WHY?

  9. YeaBey Is Schoolin’ Life August 4, 2011

    “TURN IT UP” getting that PROMO ….AYE! lol

  10. Musictologist August 4, 2011

    Come Kel, get your promotion on!! If only it could be in way of performance it’d be more beneficial. LOL

    love my girl and trusting her team tho.. they’re slowly and surely getting it together. Really believe with the right singles she could do well at the end of this ERA

  11. antertain August 4, 2011

    She speaks so well and can defo promo through her mouth, pluging the words Motivation and Empress and Education.

    Impressive.

    Kelly is more than capable of getting more videos out there in her own U.S. as she has done in Europe/Worldwide with Commander, Rose Coloured Glasses, Forever And A Day, Motivation, When Love Takes Over, What A Feeling (lata 2 not on her budget)

    The promo only gonna get harder once the UK X-factor properly kicks in on mentor & live phase so she needs 2 more vids before that otherwise the legs won’t stretch on this album.

  12. Fleur August 4, 2011

    Miss Kelly get that promo. She has such a lovely personality. She lights up the screen here. LOL at the anchorman trying to get a smell of Kelly’s perfum after the anchorwoman did :).

    O-o “Lay It On Me” is pushed back to August 16 Sam! I don’t know what’s going on behind the scene, and I’m hope Team Kelly continue to do their best to support “Here I Am.”

  13. Keepin it 100 August 4, 2011

    She is such a well spoken beautiful woman… that white guy interviewing her can’t keep his eyes off u Ms. Kelly!!! The whole time he was lookin at her body instead of her face… lol…..

  14. Fleur August 4, 2011

    @ antertain

    “She speaks so well and can defo promo through her mouth, pluging the words Motivation and Empress and Education.”

    I agree that is so impressive. She promotes so many projects in that 6 minute time slot 🙂

    @ YEABEY
    Yeah…I heard “Turn It Up” in the background.

    Great job Miss Kelly.

  15. JuanR August 4, 2011

    Sexxy!

  18. CURLY SUE August 4, 2011

    OH SHE DIDNT PERFORM? OH.

  19. ITS ME August 4, 2011

    Maybe she should try her hand at acting because she’s doing a p*** poor job of promoting her album..

    I actually bought the album and haven’t stopped playing it so she has a descent album.

  21. Gumaro August 4, 2011

    The male host is usually a dumb ass, but he kept it together for our KRow. I love this girl so much! She just comes across so well, good for her.

  22. Sam has a small ego (queenbey) August 4, 2011

    @YEABEY- Reply to last comment;

    Right. Cat was just dat b****. U remember @ da reunion how all them b****** got bold and wanted to fight Kristen??? Cat wasnt having that s***, no not at all…..dats my b****.

    Char talked so much s*** but wen it was time to fight her ass was no where to be found…..and she was Jealous of Ashley and that other blonde hair chick was jealous of Ashley also….

    Ashley was naturally pretty and they had no reason to start hatin on her as soon as she came in the house…..

    Ashley wore some bad ass clothes, her and Char stayed lookin fly…..

    I just couldnt get pass Char’s jawline, that s*** was too massive -__-

  23. jamir21: I STAN 4 THE BEEHIVE&THE NAVY !!!! August 4, 2011

    You know what I am going to stop giving kelly a hard time !
    I am going to accept Kelly …and her album for now !!!
    SHE LOOKS PRETTY GOOD !

  24. TYLER August 4, 2011

    She’s doing Good. Traveling back and forth to do X-Factor and Do Promo…. in all honesty she is doing alot right now.

  25. Lebo(CaribbeanBoi) August 4, 2011

    i luv ms kelly .. we need a new video

  26. lola August 4, 2011

    DAAAAAAAAAAMN! I always watch Kelly Rowland’s interviews, but I am always amazed at how articulate this woman is! I’m always told I’m well spoken and have a great personality, but she motivates me to be able to say a lot without having to pause or think for a minute. She’s seriously the best person to interview. Her words just flow and her voice is lovely. That male host needed to practice more on what he was going to say, but at the end he got it together. He was looking at her BODY!!! LOL! I am so glad she has a lot of projects going. To be honest, it’s good they pushed back “Lay it On Me” because many mainstream people aren’t aware that she’s HERE. She just needs to continue to do promo on shows like these so people know that Beyonce isn’t the only DC member who made it big. She looked pretty too.

  27. Akasionally me August 4, 2011

    Kelly looks like a t***** on here am I the only one that sees this?

  28. CALL ME HATERRR August 4, 2011

    @QUEENBEY
    LMAO!!! @ the Char’s jawline comment…I could not stand that heiffa at all…She just wanted to be the BOSS when she was just NOT! That’s why she got whooped at the reunion! With her 27 year old self …left a corporate job to join BGC thinking she would get a spin off…LMAO!!!!

    KAT is ok though…You know she got a song on iTunes ….she was rapping and I laughed so hard because it sounds like she was talking…it was ok though..

    Everybody hated Ashley because she was prettiest….Remember how the blonde girl said she was “not cute” and then it ended up that Ashley was the one playboy wanted? LMAO!

  31. jesse lopez August 4, 2011

    okay first off lets address the elephant in the room…that wig is looking cheap and extra shiny plastic like.but yes she is georgeous and very articulate unlike many stars today who mumble and say um huh urm run dis mutha! she speaks well and is quick on her feet.

    btw sam when are you going to post jlo’s new loreal story commercial like beyonce’s?

  32. Those That Cannot Do, Stan August 4, 2011

    You don’t sell music by talking Kelly, good luck but I feel like you’re going about this the wrong way. Like someone else said maybe you should take up acting.

  33. jesse lopez August 4, 2011

    and yall leave my girl char alone she was hot with that jawline too! and even though she couldn’t fight she did run that house and nicki had to deal! ashley was by far the prettiest and best body,everytime I seen her I was like black kim k?? but my fav was jessica “ya tu sabe”!

    Ashley was da prettiest girl on that show….. Ever…….And them h*** just could not deal…..

    I liked Sydney too (da girl with the red hair)……..

    In the beginning I really didnt like Nicki after awhile she became so funny to me and that chick who always was with her (I forgot her name) Char use to call her

    I did not like how Ashley had to leave, wen the other chick started with her….

    Willmarie whopped Nicki ass though…..all that s*** she was talkin and couldnt back it up…..typical though bcuz b****** that have alot of mouth dont have alot of hands…

  41. Sam has a small ego (queenbey) August 4, 2011

    @CALL ME HATERR- LMAO

  42. YeaBey Is Schoolin’ Life August 4, 2011

    @QUEENBEY

    Sidney was my favorite but CHAR crossed the personal line and brought up sidney’s insecurities and what not…I would have left as well…she had family issues..someone from her family was in a war…

    I liked Nicki at first but then she started acting too childish with her tough skin self…Everybody hated her…even her own accomplice turned against her (Lauren)…Char used to call her “KENTUCKY” LMAO!!

    I never wanted Ashley to leave either…But I guess she threw the first punch so…

    NOW Wilmarie is a different story…She was Nicki’s friend (they made that New Jersey Girl leave…the one with the HUGE nose)…But then of course she got tired of Nicki wanting to be boss…then Nicki did some prank and then it went downhill from there

    But Wilmarie got tough titties cause she fought Nicki with no Bra or top on and I know I saw Nicki punch her in the titty once…LMAO!!!…Wilmarie won as usual though…

    I know it sounds like i’m hating but the LIVE performances she does the more her stock goes down…she ain’t the best live vocalist…and right after her live performance on Leno the tone of the comments were right back to “she will never be on Bey level” crap….

    The one with the raspy voice…. I think it was her then.

    Gurrrrllll, that chick needed a rhinoplasty….bad!! And she was so scary….Willmarie was goin to tag her ass too!!

    Willmarie whopped Nicki ass in the limo, in the makeup room, in her own room…..she whopped Nicki’s ass all thru that house….

    Sydney was so pretty to me but everyone has insecurities….

  50. YeaBey Is Schoolin’ Life August 4, 2011

    @QUEENBEY

    Yea I know everyone has insecurities but it was HARSH of CHAR to insult her like that about them..

    Char and Nicki used to call Lauren hillbilly as well (Nicki only did that because lauren left her team)

    LMAO….i liked the lesbian with the Raspy voice…even though she was under Char’s ass all the time (until she found out Char never really liked her at the reunion)

    Wilmarie was not the girl to mess with …lol

  51. CALL ME HATERRR August 4, 2011

  56. YeaBey Is Schoolin’ Life August 4, 2011

    @JAMIR21

  61. VAN HAS THE TOP DOWN AND THE RADIO ON August 4, 2011

    “Motivation” and “BTINH” are at an all new peak, 17, 16 respectively.

    My girls are gettin’ it! Even their songs like to be next to each other.

  62. ZANIA August 4, 2011

    Get it in Kelly, a whole lot of promo, like Beyonce, and Rihanna. Beyonce wasn’t lying about girls is running this world. I wish Chris would’ve did half of the pro these ladies did, his album would’ve reached platinum by now instead of pushing 700,000 in the US.

  63. ElijahLovesCiCi August 4, 2011

    @YEABEY & @QUEENBEY

    You guys are talking about Jessica lol.

    You guys BGC convo more interesting then this whole post lol

    No shade. No Tea.

  64. YeaBey Is Schoolin’ Life August 4, 2011

    @ELIJAHLOVESCIC
    lol yes JESSICA…that girl…

    Lmao at the second thing you wrote…

  65. Holla August 4, 2011

    Great interview Kelly! She looks gorgeous as usual, but I need her stylist to get a lil baby powder to knock all that shine off those wigs.

  66. ElijahLuvsCiCi August 4, 2011

    @YEABEY

    lol its so true!!

  67. coty starkey August 4, 2011

    I am ready for kelly’s next single to hit the radio and for her next video to drop! I have her album and I love it! It’s been in my cd player for about 2 weeks and i don’t plan to take it out anytime soon!

  68. chillin August 4, 2011

    such a lovely young lady…she shouldve ALWAYS been the one talking for the group..she is much better than beyonce with words…she needs to be picked up by an endorsement

  69. Kellymotivation August 4, 2011

    That white man’s eyes were on Kelly from the beginning of the video till the end…..

    He even asked her what city she lived in….He was definitely checking her out LMAO…….

  70. Fantasy Ride August 4, 2011

    she should perform Lay It On Me at the VMAs. that would give her some real promo

  71. RATEDXXX(AKARATEDX) August 4, 2011

    kelly honey..we dont want to hear you talk..we want to see you perform..

    when are you going to release your next single and video? what are you waiting for?

    do you know that everyday you are losing fans, the more you promote everybody and their mama,

    you are a beautiful woman, inside and outside…

    I love her album, and I’m still rooting for her, but if she doesnt wake her a** up soon,

  72. Rico August 4, 2011

    Said it before and will say it again…kelly bumped up her album release 2 1/1 months…I know promo people and they plan appearances months in advacne. With the short time in between her album being buped up it is not entirely possible to do the Today Shows and SNL that one would like to have the week of the album. NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL for Kelly….now if it was Beyonce then maybe because of her Star Power which admittingly Kelly is catching up to

  73. Ziggy Stardust August 4, 2011

    @FLEUR – The way that these days go by so quickly, August 16th will be here before you know it. I think Kelly is going at a pretty good pace when it comes to her promotion. Because if she were all over the place performing, doing interviews and magazine covers back to back, by now alot of people would be saying that she’s over exposing herself or saturating the market. And, then they’d start saying things like, “I’m sick of her already!” So, actually, I think she’s doing pretty good. If anything, her promotion will eventually pick up steam. But, I think it’s good to start at a steady pace that way she doesn’t get on people’s nerves so quickly.

  74. JR August 4, 2011

    There is my baby looking great & speaks so damn well. I’m so glad she does not talk like her words are chopped and screwed! See I love to hear her interview. YESSSSSS Kelly please continue to support & promote EDUCATION! Some real issues that truly matter in this falling economy. Great Job!

    Now Playing “Heaven & Earth” by Kelly Rowland…..neyo wrote the hell out of this song!

  75. ON 2 THE NEXT 1 August 4, 2011

    THAT’S WHAT’S UP KELLY! I LUV HER INTERVIEWS. SHE’S VERY OPEN, RELAXED AND APPROACHABLE. EVEN IF AN INTERVIEWER TRIES 2 GET 2 PERSONAL, SHE KNOWS HOW 2 HANDLE IT LIKE A PRO WITH A DASH OF SMOOTHNESS 2 IT. IT’S COOL THAT SHE HAS CHARITABLE CAUSES AS WELL. THE MORE I SEE THIS WOMAN, THE MORE I LIKE HER. KEEP DOING YO’ THING KELLY!

  76. kellyflopivation August 4, 2011

    that white man wsn’t checking her out. I bet when he smelled the perfume, all he was smelling was that plastic shiny weave. He was even reluctant to smell her .
    That lip color is not working on her lips and skin color.

  77. ZANIA August 4, 2011

    Well it doesn’t matter to me if she performs any of her songs right now, because next month I will see her perform most of her songs, when she go on Chris tour. I will be able to judge to see if she can put on a show and kill the stage.

  78. NikkiIsChillin August 4, 2011

    I’m so happy for Kelly right now with all this success…Sean Jean “Empress,” X-Factor, Boys and Girls Club spokesperson, magazine covers, #1 RnB Album…she’s doing great! But wish she could find time to promote Here I Am more. We need to get a video for “Lay It On Me”. Come on Ms. Kelly!!! Keep pushing!

  79. WhatWHAT August 4, 2011

    This Empress BS has got to stop immediately. However, I love Ms. Kelly – she is great.

  80. pop royalty (I’m a rude Boy) August 4, 2011

    KELLY !! GET PROFESSIONAL FOR YOUR OWN CAREER !!

    PERFORMANCES I MEAN !!!!!!

  81. jesse lopez August 4, 2011

    @call me a hater s*** be gone you know darn well JLO is more relevant than beyonce in 2011,how many magazines and commercials she’s done plus been named the spokesperson for countless products and charities. and yes that girl yonce can’t speak any better than a s**** who’s been deprived an proper education…oh she was home schooled.

    @jamir is your brain as big as your fingers for commenting on everything? you need to take a break and go to bed nino.

  82. nice_gurl August 5, 2011

    Kelly is so nice and sweet and beautiful. She is promoting like crazy now and so busy. Love it.
