Rowland Rocks ‘X Factor’ Launch; ‘Lay It On Me’ Video Update

Published: Wednesday 17th Aug 2011 by Sam

Peep R&B diva Kelly Rowland sparkling like the solo star she’s becoming on the arrivals carpet of the X Factor UK press launch in London today.

The 30 year old, who stars as a judge on the revamped show, is set to jet back to the States next week to shoot the long-awaited video for current single ‘Lay It On Me’. This via rapper Big Sean – who That Grape Juice interviewed here in London last night. It appears the visual will be arriving right on time (relatively speaking); for the the Hit Boy produced cut scored a whopping 29 adds on Rhythmic radio yesterday – its first official day at radio.

In any case, check out more pics from today’s event below…via our friends at DS.

    kelly rowland looks nice

  2. joey August 17, 2011

    Who is this lady??? She is kinda pretty…

  3. Lebo(CaribbeanBoi) August 17, 2011

    Black Barbie … LUV HER !!!

  4. KD August 17, 2011

    She is still to shoot the video???? Beyonce done shot 3 video’s already, Jason Derulo whose album is still a month away has already released the video to his second single already…and he is already doing radio promotions…I JUST CANT WITH KELLY…

  5. KD August 17, 2011

    Sidenote: 3 weeks in and she has barely sold over 120 000 copies…SMH

    Oh well she is still richer than me so I guess I shouldn’t really concern myself with her or her success (or lack thereof).

  6. JJFAN1814 August 17, 2011

    I know she has other projects, kudos to her for all that’s aligning in her favor.

    But the stars will never align when it comes to her musical success…I mean, Motivation is a mediocre hit, well a good hit despite Kelly’s many setbacks…but damn….get it together girl.

    i swear i was gonna say the same thing. it should have been shot already. btw Bey has shot way more than 3 vids. i know of love on top, 1+1, countdown, dance for u, party. i heard schoolin life and end of time may have been shot as well. i think she’s releasing an anthology

  10. rowldog August 17, 2011

    Calm down BeyKnight…most artist don’t release the video until after the song is released to radio…it was just released yesterday! I am sure with all the jet setting she is doing it is tough to make that time! Luckily it seems we wont have to wait long!

  11. TIMMI August 17, 2011

    Tulisa definitely looks like Cheryl in these pics!!!

    men, hands down, kelly is the most beautiful girl out there… watever she is doing .. its working and she is looking damn fine… she’s a busy girl its not easy lets trust her decisions please… lay it on me next week then let it be.. lets just support her… she’s been in the uk busy with x factor and cant do album promo same time..

  14. KD August 17, 2011

    @bey’knight

    Bey is/has recording/recorded a video for ‘Dance for You’ *jumps on stripper pole and twirls around* THAT IS GOOD NEWS 🙂

    Anyway as for the subject of this post…Her (Kelly’s) priorities are so F’ed up…it is as if she threw herself at any opportunity that presented itself forgetting the fact that she is a singer first…(before X-factor judge, DIDDY’s spokesperson/model). She just needs to GET HER S*** IN ORDER.

    As for ‘Here I Was’, I do not see it going GOLD ever, people are very fickle and lose interest very quickly, she wasted her opportunity.

  15. YEABEY WON’T DANCE 4 U August 17, 2011

    NO NO NO NO
    ONE OF HER FANS SAID THE VIDEO WAS ALREADY SHOT! SO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THE VIDEO WILL COME OUT NEXT MONTH?

    The song was released on radio yesterday and is already losing airplay. It’s only hope right now is the video or requests(which her fans don’t care enough to do) *sigh* I try so hard with Kelly but how could she think Motivation was a single to ride out on? That song is months old…..I CANNOT WITH KELLY

    Last Friday Night hit No.1 on the HOT 100…..Katy tied MJ’s record!

  16. quanberg August 17, 2011

    Oh shut the hell up already so what if bey shot 3 or 4 or 5 videos already ley kelly do her STFU !!! BTW Kelly looks amazing !!!!!

    Say it isn’t so…I can already see her shady record company trying to break MJ’s record by re-releasing her album and dropping a new single featuring Rihanna/Kesha/Nicki Minaj. SMH

    Oh Well MICHAEL IS A LEGEND SOMETHING KATY PERRY NOR RIHANNA WILL EVER BE.

  27. KD August 17, 2011

    LMAO 🙂 I love how TOOPOSH corrects a typo with another typo…OH WAIT that isn’t a typo LMAO… @TOOPOSH Let me give you a crash course in the English language

    1. It is CAREER and not CARRER
    2. It is BASHING not BUSHING
    3. It is TRASHING not TRUSHING

    If you intend on attacking a group of people just because you do not agree with their opinions, the least you can do is make sure that your s*** is grammatically correct. LOL 🙂

    Now seeing how quick you were to offer advise to Bey stans I will return the favour and do the same for you. Use some of that money that you’ve made from your CARRER and buy yourself a dictionary or pay for English lessons, before coming on a blog and TRUSHING the English language. I am not BUSHING you, just saying it as I see it.

    A FLOP IS A FLOP IS A FLOP!

    Report them as they are….Nothing against Kelly, I PURCHASED the album, but she FLOPPED! if this was any other artist you would have pounced them with Flop headlines.

  41. remmy August 17, 2011

  47. aisha aguilera keys August 17, 2011

    Kelly, I like the album, but u’re really not promoting it. I’ve looked for it in all the Parisian record stores and can’t find it! What the-?!

  48. #TeamKelly August 17, 2011

    She needs to shoot that video quick & premiere it on 106 & Park! While she is there do a performance of Motivation.

  49. uberfabmakeup is a company blog August 17, 2011

    im f****** wit kelly … the long way.. she ripped the bet awards 2011…

  50. Live, Love, Party August 17, 2011

    Her skin looks lighter…

  51. Holla August 17, 2011

    Yes!!!! About dang time! Lay it on me is one of my favorites from the album. I can’t wait to see the video and start hearing it on the radio!

  52. JUStQua August 17, 2011

    It was said the video was shot already, but. Big Sean label was the hold up with the song going to radio. Either way I can’t wait to see it. As a huge Kelly Rowland fan I think she has a lot on her plate, but 4 years ago she didn’t have half of these things going on.

  53. Steph August 17, 2011

    Kelly you look GREAT! Keep up the good work!!!

  54. willinalli August 17, 2011

    My boo looks GAWDJUSS… Can’t wait for LIOM video. F all the haters… lmao 🙂

  55. Angela Wesley August 17, 2011

    Kelly must be doing some thing right because she is everywhere. I have listen to both
    albums. I like two songs on Bey’s album and four songs one Kelly’ s . I think Kelly
    is doing better than what people expected and the hater are jealous.

  56. nice_gurl August 18, 2011

    She looks gorgeous. As for promo, I know she’s busy with X Factor but she needs to release that video and try to go to America to do some performances.

  57. lola August 18, 2011

    Kelly Rowland was right when she said that the reason why there were so many setbacks for promo for “Here I Am” is because she was promoting X Factor. There was just an article out that was talking about how the crew of X Factor was worried that her tour with Chris Brown would interfere with her being a judge on the show because of the scheduling. Her stupid ass stans and people who didn’t know what they were talking about should have shut up about her releasing the album when Motivation was hot. That was a dumb idea! She should have released it now, with the second video out around this time! Kelly is such an ARTICULATE lady! She has to be one of the best spoken and intelligent celebrities out there, but her priorities aren’t straight! I mean, how are you going to promote an album, but fly back and forth to judge a talent show? This is awful! Now her album is flopping. Maybe she should just stick to releasing music overseas. She’s always sold more over there than here in the US.

  58. JasonRamirez August 19, 2011

    She is shooting the video so late because she’s been in the UK doing X-factor and going back and forth to the states to perform and she getting ready to go on tour with Chris Brown!

  59. TheShiznit August 20, 2011

    I have AT LEAST 3 things to say:

    1.You have to understand that, yeah, Beyonce CAN shoot three videos in short periods of time because all Beyonce has to do right now is tour and sing.THAT’s ALL.Kelly has to fly back and forth from London for the “X factor” and the US to do shows on top of getting ready to tour with Chris Brown + SHE’S SQUEEZING IN A VIDEO. Yall are lucky she has time to do THIS.
    2.Yall didn’t have sh*t to say when Beyonce sold LIGHTYEARS less than her usual. It was “Oh, nobody’s really selling right now, anyways. The album’s still good, right?”Yet I almost didn’t hear not ONE of her songs on the radio(and yall call yaselves stans).
    3.Here I Am was at the top of the charts. Kelly’s gettin’ herz. How YOU doin?

    Her whole album was in the top 3 on billboards while only selling 75 thou first week, so think about ALL the other artists she stomped on who sold EVEN LESS than that.

  60. willinalli August 22, 2011

    She’s back in the States… LUVED her debut on the show…Slammed her performance at summerjam (“Stop that Frankie, u know I like ’em nasty….lol”). Can u tell I effin luv this chick…Literally cannot wait 4 d video… (: I’m all smiles

  61. Kendall_Davis August 22, 2011

    I love Kelly but she needs to get her music career together. She’s got the voice and the looks and nice songs but when it comes to it she can never get a hit or put a good album together.I wish she could but somethings just can’t be done when it comes to certain people!
