Kelly Rowland was one of many names on the bill this weekend for Oakland’s KMEL 2011 Summer Jam. The dance ‘Commander’ treated fans to renditions of ‘Soldier’, ‘Motivation’, and more in a medley of hits.
See a snippet of the performance as well as a backstage interview after the jump:
I LOVE this woman
“Here I Am” is #TheShit
Go get it if u dont have it
She’s still doing Motivation? MOVE ON KELLY! TIME FOR LAY IT ON ME
Do you want success or not?
Kelly also performed Lay It On Me & and Dilemma (from the videos I’ve seen) I know she did LIOM b/c the intro she does to the song is at the end of Dilemma.
I need to keep it real. Simon Cowel’s voice.
“THIS WAS HORRIBLE”
I love you Kelly but what’s wrong with your voice? I hope the kelly stans don’t come for me cause if they think that was great they are lying to themselves.
Why do I suddenly not care about what she is doing anymore? I’m just so over her at this point. She isn’t even promoting her supposed second single properly…I just can’t with her. #NEXT
I WANNA C MORE WHAT DA FU??
She is slaking she could do a lot better and she knows it.
she is no Bouncey
Well that was a pretty short vid and that loud mouth heffa in the backgroud was annoying as hell. I never understand why people would record something at a concert if they are gonna just talk over the damn thing! Ugh!
Anywho, from what we could see her performance looked good. Her vocals were on point and the crowd definitely seemed to be feeling her. She is ridin the hell out of ‘Motivation’ song and she gets a lot of love & support from the urban community so she should do well on CB’s tour. I’m still pissed she is not coming to my city. Damnit!
The interview was cute too. She handles herself well interviews she very funny & personable, she comes off very likeable. I bet she seriously gets sick of them always asking her about Beyonce all the time & whether they are still close or not! I mean damn, people act like we haven’t seen them together in years! Bey & Kelly have been spotted together a lot recently! Damn! They’re still friends! Enough with the questions already!
I hate that pic of her though, she looks like a man in drag.
@YeaBey she did perform Lay It On Me 🙂
@Kimberly How dare you go N on Kelly like that —> lol just kidding your entitled to your opinion 🙂
She is suppose to be shooting the Lay It On Me video this week. I’m a fan but she needs to come much much harder. The girl has bank so she should be able to finance her own videos with or without a label. Gaga does it for her fans why can’t you Kelly.
Oh….and I’m still waiting for that damn ‘Lay It On Me’ video! Lawd Kelly!! What the hell is the hold up?! She can’t find a damn day in her schedule to shoot the video?! Ugh!
Maybe she should just move on to the next single cause I really don’t think ‘Lay It On Me’ is going to do that well anyways. I still think ‘I’m that Chick’ should have been her second single. *shrugs*
I’m honestly kinda over her and this album anyway.
P.S. Kelly is such a #BOSS with short hair…
Is this what “Here I Am”‘s promotion has come to? Performing at hoodrat festivals? ……………………….. -____________- Seriously Kelly where is “Lay It On Me”. U are really trying my patience girl…
kelly : that’s wasn’t cool ! 4/10
try again plz ! i like u ! but no ! the first vid has no dance or singing in it ! it’s just u using the mic as an accessory 🙁 !
that’s not the dance commander i once liked 🙁 !
my chick bad – work
I find it funny that some Kelly fans like to overrate Here I Am && some even say its better than 4 REALLY? O_o
😆
There are only 4 really good songs on the whole thing!: Work it man, Feeling Me, Motivation, & Turn it up! 😕
& lets not forget:
BEST THING I NEVER HAD: #16
Motivation:#17
For those that dont know, Huge Accomplishment cuz Bey’s Single is Less Appealing & REAL R&B Music… Motivation should have BEEN hit #1 by now!!
Beyonce: KELLY, GET YO BLACK ASS OUTTA BED & GO PROMOTE YO ALBUM!!!! 😉
David Guetta – Nothing But The Beat (FULL HQ LEAK) http://adf.ly/2QEfw
Here I am …………..Where the f*** are you??????
Why isn’t she performing songs from the album….dam Kelly, I supported you by buying the album but you are supporting everything but your album.
I think she did well …. i luv her …
She did a good job! Everybody that went said she did really good…. she haven’t released Lay It On Me video yet bcuz they do not want to kill Motivation success. That song still haven’t reached it’s full success. It is picking up more & more airplay on Pop radio by the day & it is reaching another audience outside of Urban. 6 months later and her song is still popular! Also Lay It on Me is picking up very well! If u r not a fan move the f*** on & stop talking about a Beyonce on a Kelly post! Nobody cares to hear about a Beyonce but her fans…. leave Kelly & her fans alone & get a life!!!
She has gotten on my LAST nerve with her lack of promotion for this album. I am baffled as to why she seems to be promoting & pursuing everything BUT Here I Am. Maybe she should just pursue her acting career and give music a break for a while. I will say that I still love her style, even though she seemed like she “lost herself” with all of the toplessness this go round… And she is always very poised and well spoken during her interviews. Meh
@DANCE :
EXACTLY !
SHE SHOULD HAVE CALLED IT ” THERE U GO” !! 🙄
0:55 ” I know how to motivate a n**** tho…” lmao i can’t
follow me on twitter.com/blairdevereaux
Pop radio is JUST getting into Motivation. Its still climbing. Kelly is doing right.
this b**** cant even sell records flopppppppp
@POP Royalty
Or better yet, ……..”There I was” …..as in Destiny’s child
And am I the only one tried of defending or reading this her team with excuses on her flop???
My patience with her keeps crossing every single day……………Now she is performing at festivals……..I just can’t with her
At this point I don’t even care whether the video for “Lay it on me” drops……..

3 single feelin me right now 4th single all of the night with a remix featuring gucci mane
Boring, lack of energy. Keri Hilson performs much better than her I find.
As a person that loved Kelly…I gotta say, she has shown how whack she really is…over 15yrs in the game and this is all you can do??? I am so dissipointed in her since 2009!
So the stans have now left Kelly…….. Even her rowldawgs on twitter are abandoning her……
@DANCE :
this “lay it on me” vid is THE LAST CHANCE i will give her ! i like her ! but when u wanna do something , just do it and give your 100% ! i can’t with her lazy ass ! i did my job and bought the album and actually it’s a solid album !
and she still riding “motivation” 😯 ! kelly ! you are lost ! U give me J.lo’s love? ERA ! #SAD !
@ Cory- I think ‘I’m so Feeling Me Right Now” would make a great 3rd single. After that she should drop “I’m that Chick” and “Turn it up” simultaneously. This performance clip was super short. She wasn’t giving me much with soldier, almost as if she’s as bored with it as I am, but I think Motivation was good. If she performed other songs, then you should have posted that cuz I’m sooooo over Motivation.
@Yeahbey won’t dance 4 U- I consider myself a Kelly fan/stan, and I don’t think we’ve left her, we’re just exasperated with the handling of this project. Here I Am is a great album, but the promotion has been horrible. Only 2 live televised performances of Motivation, and we’re still waiting for that second video.
@Pop Royalty- I agree with you to a certain extent. That Lay it on Me video better be friggin epic and worthy of the wait.
You Guys Need To Chill. Anyways, The Radio Station Out Here In Toronto Has Motivation AND Lay It On Me In Heavy Rotation!
Much love from Toronto!!! Motivation is still going strong and Lay it on me has been added to Radio stations here!! Go Kelly!
SO WEEK!!!!!! AND SHE DOES NEED TO MOVE ON FROM MOTIVATION!!! ITS OFF THE CHARTS! OFF BET!!! AND NEVER BEEN ON MTV!!! AND RADIO TIRED!!!!!!!
COME ON KELLS!
Guys, guys, let’s all take a chill pill please. I feel y’all for real
But one thing motivation has taught us is that this is chick is a slow burner. period. She’s literally everywhere right now and we all know… I have no doubt that her success is hers for the taking.
I am just like you…I literally CANNOT WAIT FOR THE ‘LAY IT ON ME’ VIDEO…That joint is starting to slay on radio right now. No lie. I know the video will come right on time. Motivation should go platinum real soon, if it hasn’t already.
P.S. I heard Sean Paul is back with a 1st single, heard it and sounds cool…but there is a 2nd single with our very own Ms. “Abshonlootly” 🙂 Cannot wait to hear it….Dang this chick is really everywhere. I swear.
Her vocals were a little off in the video. The interview was cute. I hope she keeps promoting this album and releasing songs.
If you pay attention to music, you can see whats going on….Kelly’s team and label are lining things up just right….be patient, the promotion will come.
UM…. I don’t know who posted as LOLA, but I’ve already been posting under this name so chill on that.
Anyway, I love Kelly, but where the hell is the promotion? It seems like the X Factor really messed up her chance to promote the hell out of this album, also her label isn’t putting a lot of money towards this project. The vocals on “Soldier” was horrible but she did well on “Motivation.”
