Hot Shots: Kelly Rowland Beams at London Album Signing

Published: Monday 28th Nov 2011 by Sam

“She works hard for the money…”

Kelly Rowland‘s UK promo hustle shows no sign of slowing.

Taking a brief break from rehearsals for her upcoming X Factor performance, the 30 year old arrived a London’s HMV Oxford Circus to plug the UK version of her 3rd album ‘Here I Am’.

Hundreds of fans queued to meet the singer, who signed a copy of the record for the first person in the line.

Peep more pics below…

In other Ms. Kelly news, she has on record to reveal that her X Factor showing this weekend will be a medley, which lifts from her critically praised BET Awards performance. Bring on Sunday!

    Just the girl I wanted to see. Lets see how Here I Am Flopping again fares in the UK market. We all know what happened in her home country. *giggles*

  2. marlin6 November 28, 2011

    Much better singer than swagger jacker Beyonce but true… her albums do FLOP all over. Maybe she gets the Cheryl Cole luck and sells big in the UK? But then we know waht to Cheryl Cole in the US. *giggles*

  3. quanberg November 28, 2011

    Kelly looks radiant and all reason to be !!!

  4. YOOSONDALOOSE November 28, 2011

    Awwww! Hope it gets a top 3 here.
    Cannot wait for her X Factor performance.

  5. TruthTeller November 28, 2011

    LMAO

    Her critically acclaimed BET award performance? Are we talking about that fully lipsynch performance she got caught with the mic down?

    And then u have the nerve to criticize people others when they used a backing track on top of their REAL VOICE. lmao!

    Oh well, I hope Ms Kelly can sell 164,000 copies of her album this week. After all, she is the judge on the X Factor EVERYWEEK.

    I bet kelly stole your imaginary bf. B**** why cant you just focus on treating your h** positive p****. Get help and maybe the loser next door will finally say hi. Get a life b****!!

  7. TruthTeller November 28, 2011

    She has 0 excuse for flopping in the UK.
    She is on the #1 tv show in the UK and everybody who comes out of XFaxtor as a judge or competitor always ends up top5.

    She better brings it. Cus after being the flop solo artist from Destiny’s Child; it ll be embarrassing for her to be the flop solo artist from the XFactor.

    What would that say about her?

  8. Girrrl November 28, 2011

    I’m being a hater because tgj is doing too much biased reporting. I want Kelly t get criticized just like everyone else. 😉

  9. Simon November 28, 2011

    Since you care so much why don’t you go to HMV and purchase the album. But oh no! You can’t do that because you cant afford it. Well you can say whatever you want but truth be told you don’t have money to buy it. If you did you would go hungry for the whold week for every penny you earn should be saved for food. If i’m wrong prove it by a pic of you buying the cd. Either that or you are as broke as hell

  10. JoArmy November 28, 2011

    I would be such a shame if she flops in the UK. “Here I am” a flop. I like kelly but they to hard on my girl riri even if she aint the perfect singer.

  11. Girrrl November 28, 2011

    Yes indeed.Kelly’s.stans are going in this AM. I expect y’all in the stores buying that lp. I’m not getting it since I prefer TTT.

  12. Jonathan Gardner November 28, 2011

    Here I Am is not going to flop in the UK.

    “Down For Whatever” debuted at #6 here on Sunday and has already charted in Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Scotland and Ireland.

    That makes it her NINTH top 10 hit in the UK.

    Haters please find your way to your seats or the shacks you reside in. Kelz is getting that money. Stay pressed.

    OH, MICHELLE’S NEW SINGLE “ON THE RUN” with Electric Giant Beatz is OUT NOW! BUY, BUY, BUY and let’s have two of Destiny’s Children in the UK top 10 😀

  13. Imgunnacheckuboo November 28, 2011

    I bet those CD’s have been there forever. They had to brush the dust off. smh

  14. mark ginnis November 28, 2011

    her cd was actually pretty good!

  15. JoArmy November 28, 2011

    @imgunnacheckuboo Lmaaaaaooooo #dead

  16. Jonathan Gardner November 28, 2011

    @Imgunnacheckuboo

    How could the CDs have been there for ages if the international edition (with the purple and white cover) only came out this week?

    Have a seat.

  17. Troy November 28, 2011

    Go kelly. UK support her coz her album is better than a certain album that recently sold 110000 copies but being hyped as 300000! 😉

  18. Archie06july November 28, 2011

  19. JoArmy November 28, 2011

  20. Jonathan Gardner November 28, 2011

    JOARMY

    …really? What reign…oh yes I forgot we are talking about my home country (UK) not the US…where RiRi is yet to find love a-top the Billboard 200.

  21. NY-Superstar November 28, 2011

    @JoArmy how you gonna talk about a flop when you have that flop as your avatar….I know you queens love Ms Jojo on thi site but what has she done lately or better yet what has she ever done on the charts? *LOL*

  22. TRUTH November 28, 2011

    DOWN FOR WHATEVER debuts #6 on the UK charts this week.

    Keep hating…

  23. lucky November 28, 2011

    THIS FLOP B**** KELLY ROWLAND CANNOT SING LIVE SHE UGLY AND SKINNY AS FUC .I DONT KNOW HOW SHE GOT NOMINATED FOR THAT WACKASS SONG .

  24. JoArmy November 28, 2011

    @NY-superstar Technically JO isnt a flop so get your facts straight and to add she can sing betta than kelly .

  25. TruthTeller November 28, 2011

    @TROY
    Get ur fact straight. That certain album sold 110,000 in 4 days but sold 164,000 by its 6th days for its debt week.

  26. X,Y,”and Z” November 28, 2011

    Well now..

    The “Moment Of Truth” now arrives (as the Bull-Fighters would say). But keep THIS in mind, the U.K. “per capita” does the most ‘online’ shopping of ANY G7/Industrialized country. Amazon U.K. has had “Here I Am” now onsale for MONTHS now – both as a digital DL and hard copies. And what’s MOST telling? Well, “Here I Am” apparently hasn’t been…”motivating” any U.K. shoppers to be “down”…for ‘whatever’ shopping!

    I’ve been waiting for THIS moment for months now. I have NO DOUBT we’ll see “sales” based on UNITS SHIPPED, instead of ACTUAL U.K. OTC Retail Sales..!!

    X,Y,”and Z”

  27. JoArmy November 28, 2011

    preach it @ truthteller

  28. JoArmy November 28, 2011

    kelly rowland-7 singles, 1 hit, flop album and to add JoJo’s previous albums did better than all of kelly’s albums put together.

  29. commanderofthedancefloor November 28, 2011

    lets put the record straight, rihannas loud #3 in the US and has sold over 6 million world wide. only 1 million of that is the US, it is not the only music market. in the UK she is the only female last year to sell over 1 million.

  30. NY-Superstar November 28, 2011

    @JoArmy…Ummm what is Jojo doing? Besides D List videos that no one cares about and remaking songs by more established artist she has done nothing. Im just saying to call someone a flop for album sales…. and singing and then praise Jojo (album sales ) and Rihanna (singing) is beyond ludicrous.

  31. Steph November 28, 2011

    Kelly Rowland good-luck! Keep your head up, sometimes things are not easy but keep working hard, praying and things will improve. TGJ thanks for posting! Much love!!

  32. jrizza88 November 28, 2011

    I honestly think so of the people here are just plain stupid. Kelly’s singles do well here, but I think her albums tend to not. I am a huge fan of hers, but I want to see if she will actually climb into the top spots…

  33. College girl November 28, 2011

    I hope her cd does well in the UK. I hope she sales atleast 90k- 100k 1st week. I’ll be very happy about that!

  34. YellingGirl.com November 28, 2011

    Good Lord, you fools are some heavy ass haters! I mean, really?! Who hates on Kelly Rowland? She is the sweetheart of DC, loyal friend to Beyonce (who threw her under the bus on numerous occasions), and all around wonderful talent!

    You really can’t just be happy for her success; when it’s long overdue?!

    Wow!!!

    Anyway, Kelly, you are beautiful, talented, and deserving of any success you get.
    I know how hard it is for real brown girls to sell records, you have to have more talent then your other contemporaries; but you stuck it out! God Bless you!

  35. KAT DELUNA FAN November 28, 2011

    good luck to her

  36. pop royalty ( RUDE BOY) November 28, 2011

  41. Lax November 28, 2011

  42. Lax November 28, 2011

    But kelly you do not have to worry about sales in the UK Because many say that the UK Salea ain’t s***, Just ask RIHANNA.

  43. muni November 28, 2011

    if you meet this woman, you will stop hating She is a GODDESS and so CARING!! Get on your lives cos she is living her dreams!!

    By the way Im the one pictured with her below!!!

  44. X,Y,”and Z” November 29, 2011

    @Muni re: Nov 28th —

    “Goddess”..?! “Caring”..?! <– O~o

    Kelly Rowland is a "con" artist. And I mean THAT in EVERY sense of the word! She's "perfected" her "craft-in-graft".

    ..And that is you "pictured with her ABOVE"..?? Well, that'll make you T-H-E absolutely biggest 'MARK' in all "London Town".

    Muni, 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland ISN'T laughing with you, no! She's laughing AT YOU! She's thinking: "Ha! Now this is one dark-skin black woman who I've 'guilted into' buying my rubbish CD. These 'Black Brits' are T-H-E absolutely stupidest of ALL!! They're as naive, ignorant and stupid a 'demo' as I've EVER come across!"

    Yes Muni, sadly, that she's EXACTLY what she's thinking about you when smiling at you that VERY second when the camera took THAT picture. And now, saved for A-L-L eternity, YOUR part – as fool/'mark' – in an elaborate confidence scheme!
    What an absolutely EPIC tragedy..!!

    But there's hope for you, Muni. I won't lead you astray! NO! There's still a chance at/for redemption:

    1.) Return her CDs. They're absolute rubbish, and much sooner than later, you'll find them in your local retailers discount bin; Not unlike here, in the U.S.
    2.) Tell ALL your friends and family what a horrible and reprehensible person Kelly Rowland is. Tell them you've had a revelation, an epiphany, of sorts.
    3.) Call ITN and tell them to replace Kelly Rowland with someone else – ANYONE..!!

    Muni, unlike that GOD-awful 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland, I'm on YOUR side!

    X,Y,"and Z" — OUT..!!

  45. Sleazy November 29, 2011

    @TRUThTELLER you stan for Rihanna so don’t come for performances! Pls don’t plssssssssssss just don’t Cus your fav is a hot motherfuckin mess

  46. Seriously!! Why is she still on this album? November 29, 2011

    Heads up: Kelly is tanking as a judge on X Factor UK. She is the worst mentor and the UK public can not stand her. Two of the other judges and the spin off show host released their albums same day to compete with her (basically to stop her doing well) and will probably out sell her this week.

    As a personality, Kelly has not had a successful run on the show with many thinking it was the biggest mistake as people loved her before they got to know her. She will not be back next year and has probably done more damaged to her image than good. This coming live performance is bound to be as shocking vocally and s** filled on a family show as all her recent performances.

  47. Lebo(CAribbeanBoi) November 29, 2011

    LOTS OF HATERS ARE ON HERE JUST KEEP CHECKING FOR MSKELLY .. SHE IS SO RELEVANT … ARMM POUNDS WORTH MORE THAN US, SO ALL YOU WHO KNOCKING HER HUSTLE SHE MAKING MONEY …. GOOD LUCK KELLY, LOV YA!
